8.3 Glossary of Controller Messages
BATTERY is LOW - This message (located in DIAGNOSTICS under the MENU/HELP) indicates that the battery supplying
power to the Power Center clock (in case of power outage) is low, and should be replaced. The battery is a standard 9V, and may
be replaced by removing the battery door (marked on the Power Center - Power Center is located by the pool equipment).
CLEANER CANNOT BE TURNED ON WHILE SPA IS ON - This message is displayed if the pool cleaner is activated when
in spa mode (i.e., water is circulating to spa). The pool cleaner requires that water be circulating to the pool in order for it to
operate. Return to pool mode to activate the cleaner.
CLEANER CANNOT BE TURNED ON WHILE SPILLOVER IS ON - The return valve has been rotated to the spa position
to give the spa spillover effect.
FREEZE PROTECT - This message indicates that freezing conditions have been detected by the freeze protection sensor, and
that equipment assigned to freeze protection (e.g., lter pump) are active. See the section on freeze protection on page 25 of this
manual for more information.
NOTE Only the filter pump is protected unless the optional freeze sensor is installed.) If a freeze protected Auxiliary is turned off
during freeze protection, a message will be displayed indicating that item is off but will turn on in X amount of minutes. The
minutes will vary depending on how long freeze mode has been active from 1 to 15 minutes.
SENSOR OPEN - This error message indicates that the sensor is not installed properly or is malfunctioning. Call your pool
service person to resolve this problem.
NOTE If the message reads WATER TEMP OPEN, the heater will not fire. If message AIR TEMP OPEN is displayed, freeze
protection will not operate correctly.
POOL HEATER ENABLED - This message indicates that the pool heater is ready to use but is not actually ring. The lter
pump must be on, and the water temperature must be below the setting for the heater to re.
PUMP WILL REMAIN ON WHILE SPILLOVER IS ON - This message is displayed when you attempt to turn off the lter
pump while a spa spillover is on. Since the lter pump is necessary for spillover operation, the pump will remain on until the
spillover is turned off.
PUMP WILL TURN OFF AFTER COOL DOWN CYCLE - This message indicates that the lter pump is circulating water to
cool down the heater. The lter pump will continue to run for ve minutes to protect the heater from damage, whenever the heater
has red and has been off for less than 5 minutes.
PUMP WILL TURN ON AFTER DELAY - This message is displayed during pool/spa switching. The AquaLink RS waits 35
seconds while the valves turn from pool position to spa position (or vice-versa) before activating the lter pump.
SERVICE MODE - This message indicates that the Controller has been locked out from the Power Center and is not operational.
Service mode is used by the pool service person to aid them in servicing the pool. The Controller will not be functional until the
switch at the Power Center is moved back to AUTO mode.
SENSOR SHORT - This error message indicates that the sensor is not installed properly or is malfunctioning. Call your pool
service person to resolve this problem.
NOTE If the message reads WATER TEMP SHORT, the heater will not fire. If the message AIR TEMP SHORT is displayed,
freeze protection will not operate correctly.
SPA WILL TURN OFF AFTER COOL DOWN CYCLE - When the system is in Spa Mode (water is circulating to the spa)
and the Spa button is pressed to switch water circulation to the pool, the system will not switch to Pool Mode for ve minutes, and
will continue to circulate the water (if the heater has red and has been off for less than ve minutes). This delay allows water to
cool the heater down by circulating water through it, preventing equipment damage.
TIMED AUX ON, WILL TURN OFF AFTER 30 MINUTES - This message indicates that a timed auxiliary (usually a blower)
has been activated and will turn off after 30 minutes. Some labels (e.g., blower, ll line) have a built-in 30 minute shut off.
TIMEOUT MODE - This message indicates that the Controller has been locked out from the Power Center and is not
operational. TIME OUT mode is used by the pool service person to aid them in servicing the pool. The Controller will not be
functional for three hours, or until the switch at the Power Center is turned back to AUTO mode.
SPILLOVER DISABLED WHILE SPA IS ON - This message is displayed when the spa spillover is pressed while in spa mode
(water circulation is to spa). The spillover requires that water circulation is to pool in order to operate. The spillover will activate
when the system switches back to pool mode.
