Page 4: System Overview Block Diagram
Manual. Aspects of the OnCommand that pertain to system setup are not covered in this manual. Automation The OnCommand can control up to 4 high voltage (120/240V) pieces of equipment, up to 3 automatic valve actuators, and a conventional and solar heater. Both manual and automatic (programmed) operation are available. -

Pressing the SERVICE button again will cause the OnCommand to switch to service-timed mode which is very similar to service mode, except that the OnCommand will automatically return to normal operation after 3 hours. -
Page 7: Automatic System Using The Programming Buttons
Automatic System Operation The OnCommand controls most of your pool equipment automatically in order to minimize the time spent working on your pool. Most of the pool equipment can be programmed to operate on a timeclock basis. In addition, the desired pool and spa temperatures can be programmed. -

Page 9: (Programming) Settings Menu
The Default Menu is a series of informative displays with nothing to set. The OnCommand will automatically switch to the default menu when no keys have been pressed for 2 minutes and will then scroll through each display. The Settings Menu and the Timers Menu are the menus you will be using most often to adjust the operation of your pool. - Page 10 OnCommand Super Chlorinate function. The OnCommand will turn on the filter pump, set the pool/ spa valves to the correct position, and set the external chlorine generator to maximum output. The super chlorinate function will continue for the programmed number of hours (see Timers/Super Chlorinate Hours below) overriding the normal filter pump timeclock settings.
- Page 11 Use this function to set the current day of the week and time. These values are used for all the automatic timeclock functions of the OnCommand and are also displayed as part of the default menu. The OnCommand is designed to keep the clock running during power outages lasting less than 7 days.

During the programmed spa time, the OnCommand will turn on the filter pump and move the pool/spa valves into the “spa-only” position. The heater will automatically heat the spa up to the programmed spa temperature (page 6).
- Page 14 This menu will appear only if the Lights are configured for countdown timer. This setting is the time after you manually turn on the lights until the OnCommand automatically turns off the lights. You can also manually turn off the lights at an earlier time by pressing the LIGHTS button. If the Lights relay is on during the programmed off time, it may be because of freeze protection.
- Page 15 Unaffected, Lowest speed to 50% Note that all functions in the table may not be offered. The available functions are dependent on how the OnCommand is configured. Also, under some circumstances, functions will be displayed but can’t be changed. Note that the function whose menu you are in, will not be displayed as an option and will automatically turn on when the group is activated.

Super Chlorinate (requires external chlorinator) If a Hayward Swimpure or Goldline Aqua Rite chlorinator is used, the OnCommand can be programmed to Super Chlorinate the pool or spa while running a group command. When the group starts, the Super Chlorinate cycle will begin. - Page 17 This option is usually preferable because both the pool and spa water will be filtered and sanitized. If “Pool Only” is selected, then the OnCommand will switch the pool/spa valves to the “pool only” position at the start of the programmed pool filtering time period or when the super-chlorinate function is turned on.
- Page 18 AIR temperature sensor falls below the freeze threshold (see below), the OnCommand will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water. If “Pool and Spa” is selected in the Pool/ Spa sub-menu, the valves will also alternate between the pool and spa every 30 minutes and the filter pump will turn off while the valves are turning.
- Page 19 This feature ensures that the heater cools down before water circulation is stopped. When enabled, the OnCommand will continue to run the filter pump for 5 minutes after the heater turns off. During this period the filter pump LED will flash and also a “Heater Cooldown, X:XX remaining” message will scroll on the display.

7-day Move to previous/next configuration menu This selection affects ALL of the timeclock logic in the OnCommand. If “7-day” is selected, each timeclock will have one set of turn-on/turn-off settings that operate every day of the week. If “Weekend/ Weekdays” option is selected then the user can enter one set of turn-on/turn-off times for the weekend (fixed as Saturday/Sunday) and another set of turn-on/turn-off times for weekdays (Monday through Friday). -
