If controlled by the VS Omni, the Aqua Rite must have a HLAQRPCB communication board installed Optional accessories (page 3) can expand the functionality of the VS Omni.
  • Page 6 If a timer must be used, set the timer to power the Hub continuously. For convenience, a 6ft Wiring Whip is included with the VS Omni. This whip is intended to connect the Hub's input power to the variable speed pump if using 230 VAC. This connection should be made inside of the Hub and will ensure that both the Hub and pump are powered continuously.
  • Page 7 VS Omni. The VS Omni is designed to be mounted outdoors at the pool pad. Both the Hub and the Control Pad are water resistant and can be left out for the winter. Details on each installation step are shown below: 1.

  • Page 15: Low Voltage

    Do not run low voltage wiring through a knockout or with any high voltage wiring. Hayward Variable Speed Pump (VSP) Wiring A separate VSP pump manual has been included with the VS Omni. For low voltage communication wiring information, refer to the pump manual.
  • Page 16 Valve Actuators When wired for 230 VAC, the VS Omni can control up to two valve actuators which allow automated control of pool/spa, water features, cleaners or solar heating. The VS Omni is compatible with stan- dard valve actuators manufactured by Hayward, Pentair/Compool, and Jandy. Actuators have 15 ft cables that are terminated with connectors that plug directly into the Hub as shown on page 10.
  • Page 17 USB port and Ethernet port on the bottom of the Control Pad. The ethernet port is available for those that desire a wired connection to their access point, rather than using the VS Omni's built-in wifi (see page 21). The USB port is used for firmware upgrades. Optional Flow Switch The 15 ft flow switch cable plugs into the flow switch connector shown on page 10.

  • Page 22 Connection to the web is optional. If web enabled devices such as PCs, laptops, tablets or phones will be used to access the VS Omni, 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 con- nections, use outdoor rated Cat5e or Cat6 ethernet cable.

  • Page 23: System Startup

    Configuration Initial Configuration Because this is the first time that the VS Omni has been powered on, it will bring you directly to the initial configuration screen shown below. Note that the VS Omni Control Pad uses a resistive touch screen that is appropriate for a pool environment.

  • Page 24: Pre Programmed Configuration

    Because this process may take some time, do not begin to configure the VS Omni unless you can dedicate at least 15 minutes or more. Configuring the VS Omni requires knowledge of all of the connected pool equipment.
  • Page 25 Network Diagnostic screen will appear and the VS Omni will run through a series of checks to verify connection to the access point. When the system is done running through the diagnostics, press the check mark to continue to the next section of the Configuration Wizard.
  • Page 26 Configuration Summary screen after connecting to your home network. This screen details all of the equipment that you have connected and configured to your VS Omni. Verify that the information on this screen is correct and then press the check mark to continue.
  • Page 27 Omni. If Yes is selected: What type of heater? Select the type of heater that is connected to the VS Omni. Solar heating is not an option for a Typical configuration -- only Heat Pump and Gas are avail- able.
  • Page 28 Be aware that you may be asked to configure options/features that the VS Omni does not support. If unclear, refer to the "Features" section on page 4 to determine the type of operation that the VS Omni supports. Configuring equipment or functions that are not sup- ported will prevent the VS Omni from working properly.
  • Page 29 MSP ID - The VS Omni MSP ID number will be displayed. This unique number is used to identify your VS Omni when setting up a web account. A web account is needed to access the VS Omni over the web by mobile devices. IMPORTANT: write down the MSP ID number for future use. The MSP ID number will be needed when entering the configuration wizard after initial configuration as well as entering and exiting Simple Mode.
  • Page 30 Name Filter Pump - Touch the box and use the keyboard to name the filter pump. What Type of Pump? - Depending on your answer, the VS Omni will use one Smart Relay (single speed pumps), two Smart Relays (two speed pumps) or the low speed communication bus (Hayward supported VSP pumps only) for pump control.
  • Page 31 Flow Monitoring Enabled? Requires use of a Hayward flow switch. This feature will help protect the filter pump from damage due to no flow. When Yes is selected, the VS Omni will monitor the state of water flow when the filter pump is on. If no flow is detected for more than 15 minutes, the VS Omni will shut down the pool pump and will indicate an error.
  • Page 32 How Many Heaters? - Answer "0", "1" or "2" to this question. The VS Omni supports up to two heaters for one body of water (conventional and solar only) and only one heater for two bodies of water. If “1”or more is selected: Heater Cooldown Enabled? This feature ensures that the heater cools down before wa- ter circulation is stopped.
  • Page 33 Does the Solar Heater Have a Pump? Select whether the solar heating sys- tem has a dedicated recirculation pump. If so, the VS Omni will turn this pump on when the pool temperature is below the heater setting and there is solar heat available.
  • Page 34 VS Omni. If Yes is selected: The next few screens will configure the VS Omni to use Sense and Dispense. The VS Omni automatically detects smart components like the HL-CHEM, and assigns a Hayward Unique Address. If multiple components are detected, the VS Omni will show a table of devices and prompt you to select the proper device.
  • Page 35 Raise this value to generate more chlorine. Lower this value to generate less. Is pH Reduction Enabled? Select Yes if you have a dispenser connected to the VS Omni that will lower pool water pH. If Yes is selected: Are you Using Acid or CO ? Select one.
  • Page 36 How many cleaners? The VS Omni has two actuator outputs. If controlling a pool and spa (two bodies of water), you cannot add a cleaner that requires a valve.
  • Page 37 If freeze protection is en- abled AND the air temperature falls below the freeze threshold (refer to pump configura- tion), the VS Omni will turn on the cleaner pump to circulate the water. If Yes is selected:...
  • Page 38 Name of Water Feature - Touch the box and use the keyboard to name the water feature. Does Water feature Have a Pump? Select whether the water feature has a dedicated pump. If so, the VS Omni will turn this pump on when the water feature is scheduled to run.
  • Page 39 Would You Like To Configure A Default Startup Speed For Water Feature? If the water feature has a valve and the system uses a VSP filter pump, the VS Omni allows you to set a startup pump speed for the water feature, regardless of the pump’s schedule. The speed will change at the next scheduled interval.
  • Page 40 Would you like to test for OmniDirect capability? For UCL lights manufac- tured after June 2018, you can select Yes and the VS Omni will test your lights to confirm. If your lights blink white after the test, you can enable OmniDirect mode.
  • Page 41 Would You Like To Configure A Default Startup Speed For the Accessory? If the ac- cessory has a valve and the system uses a VSP filter pump, the VS Omni allows you to set USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS...
  • Page 42 (typically SENS1) and touch the Done button. The sensor connection should now be shown in the box and you can advance to the next screen to continue configuration. Do You Have a Flow Switch? Select whether there is a flow switch wired to the VS Omni. If Yes is selected: Where is the Sensor Wired? Touching the box will bring you to a table showing all detected sensors connections.
  • Page 43 Would You Like to Add an Interlock? An interlock will allow the VS Omni to turn on or to turn off a piece of pool equipment (slave) based on the state of other pool equipment (master). An example of this is would be the desire to turn on walkway lighting (slave) every time the pool deck lights (master) are turned on.
  • Page 44 With Equipment to Mode interlock, affected equipment will activate/deactivate based on which mode the VS Omni is in; Pool, Spa or Spillover. You can configure this interlock to turn on/off equipment whenever the VS Omni goes into one of these available modes.
  • Page 45 Read through the description and make sure the interlock will function as desired. Configuration Summary The VS Omni displays all configured equipment in a table for you to view. Scroll through all configured devices and make sure they've been properly assigned.
