  • Page 5: Overview

    * If a non-Hayward brand VSP or an older non-supported Hayward VSP will be used, the pump can only operate at one speed. The pump must be locally programmed to run 24 hrs/day at a fixed speed and the OmniHub will turn it on and off based on the desired programmed time.
  • Page 6 Equipment Wiring Hub All incoming/outgoing wiring will be connected to the Wiring Hub. The OmniHub can be powered by either 230 VAC or 115 VAC. Input power should be constant, not from a timer. If a timer must be used, set the timer to power the Wiring Hub continuously. For convenience, 6 ft Wiring Whips with red, white, black and green colored 12AWG wires are included with the OmniHub.

    OmniHub. Because the OmniHub must also be powered continu- ously, it may be most convenient to wire the VSP and OmniHub in parallel, on the same circuit. If this is the case, they must both be powered by the same voltage. An example of this is shown below.
  • Page 14 Single speed pumps require the use of Smart Relay(s). High voltage connections are made directly to Smart Relays which are turned on and off through a low voltage communication connection to the OmniHub. Like the OmniHub, Smart Relays can be powered by either 115 VAC or 230 VAC. USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS...
  • Page 15 The example below shows a typical retrofit of the OmniHub into a system with an existing 115 VAC filter pump. In this case, switched or timed input power to the pump is disconnected and distributed to the input sides of both the OmniHub and a Smart Relay. Because the OmniHub and Smart Relays require constant power, an existing timeclock or switch must be set to power both constantly.

    Hayward Variable Speed Pump (VSP) Wiring If using a Hayward Tristar 950, Tristar 900, Super Pump 700 or MaxFlo 500, the pump can be fully controlled (schedules and speeds) by the OmniHub. Refer to the diagrams below for low voltage communication wiring instructions.
  • Page 20 Smart Relay Connection Valve Actuators The OmniHub can control up to two valve actuators which allow automated control of pool/spa, water features, cleaners or solar heating and is compatible with standard valve actuators manufactured by Hayward, Pentair/Compool, and Jandy. Actuators have 15 ft cables that are terminated with connec- tors that plug directly into the Hub as shown on page 11.
  • Page 21 Connect the external switch as shown below. After properly configuring the OmniHub (see Configuration Wizard), the filter pump and/or desired pool equipment will be forced on or off when the external device is activated.
  • Page 22 “snaps” into place in order to provide a reliable connection. Optional Sense and Dispense The OmniHub can be used with the Hayward HL-CHEM Sense and Dispense Kit. Using the HL- CHEM, the OmniHub will continuously monitor the pool's pH/ORP levels and automatically dispense chemicals (using a Hayward Aqua Rite salt chlorinator or a liquid/tablet feeder) to correct pH or add chlorine when needed.
  • Page 23 Connection to the web is optional. If web enabled devices such as PCs, laptops, tablets or phones will be used to access the OmniHub, an Ethernet or wireless connection must be made to the home router. For wireless connections, refer to the Configuration section of this manual. For Ethernet connections, use outdoor rated Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable.

  • Page 24: Startup

    System Startup After confirming that all wiring has been performed according to NEC and local codes and that the Wiring Hub is properly grounded, apply power to the OmniHub. The OmniHub will take about 30 seconds to fully start. Firmware Upgrade The OmniHub's firmware is the basic operating system that runs the system.

  • Page 25: Configuration
