Configuration Menu - Hayward OnCommand Operation Manual

Heater Setpoints in Groups
The OnCommand can be programmed to use alternate heater setpoints (conventional and/or solar) while running
a group command. This allows the heater to be set to a higher or lower temperature than normal, while the group
is activated. When the group stops, the setpoint will return to its normal setting.
Changing the setpoint while the group is running will make the group release the alternate setpoint control and
revert back to the normal heater setting. Any changes that are made at that point will affect the normal heater
setting. The next time the group is activated, the temperature will return to the group setpoint that was originally
programmed in the Configuration Menu. To change the setpoint while the group is running, go to the Settings menu
and press the +/- button while "Group Control" is displayed. The setpoint will change and be retained as the new
normal heater setpoint.
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. Super Chlorinate will continue until the preset time expires (see Timers Menu/Super Chlorinate Hours) or
until the group turns off. Changing the Super Chlorinate state using the Settings Menu, the Aqua Pod Super
Chlorinate button, or a Super Chlorinate assigned Aux/Lights/Valve button will temporarily cancel the group's
control of Super Chlorinate until the next time the group is activated.
Variable Speed in Groups
The OnCommand can be programmed to use alternate pump speeds while running a group command. This allows
the pump(s) to be set to a higher or lower speed than normal, while the group is activated. When the group stops,
the speed will return to its normal setting.
Changing the speed setting while the group is running will make the group release the alternate speed setting and
revert back to the normal speed setting. Any changes that are made at that point will affect the normal speed
setting. The next time the group is activated, the speed will return to the group speed setting that was originally
programmed in the Configuration Menu. To change the speed setting while the group is running, go to the Settings
menu and press the +/- button while "Group Control" is displayed. The speed setting will change to the normal
speed setting.

If the optional external chlorinator is enabled (requires the use of a Goldline Aqua Rite or Hayward
Swimpure chlorinator), the OnCommand will automatically chlorinate both the pool and spa according
to the desired output setting (see Settings Menu in the Operation manual). If disabled (default), all
displays relating to the chlorinator will be suppressed.
When the chlorinator is enabled, the OnCommand will automatically detect and control any Aqua
Rite/Swimpure(s) that is installed in the system.
