Manual System Filter Pump - Hayward OnCommand Operation Manual

Turn the power on at the main panel and turn the OnCommand control power circuit breaker on. The keypad will
show the default display. The default display alternates between the day/time, air and pool (or spa) temperature.
Under certain circumstances, additional displays may be added to the default menu to inform you about system
operation. Refer to the Programming Menu Flowchart on page 5 to view all possible displays. The OnCommand
will automatically scroll through all of the available default menu displays or you can press "<" or ">" to manually
scroll.
While the main objective of the OnCommand is to automate the operation of your pool/spa system, there may be
certain times when you want to override the automatic operation and control the equipment manually. To operate
the pool equipment manually while keeping the automation active, perform the following procedures. Note that if
you turn a relay on manually, it will remain on until either you turn it off manually, or the next time the programmed
automatic operation would normally turn that relay off. Example: the filter pump is programmed to run from 9:00A
to 5:00P daily. If you turn the filter pump on manually at 8:00PM, it will run continuously until the next day at
5:00PM at which time it will turn off and follow the normal program from then on. Manually turning off a relay
works in a similar fashion.

Single Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, press the FILTER button to turn on the pump. Pressing
the FILTER button again will turn off the pump. However, if there is a heater in the system, and it is operating, and
the "Heater Cooldown" feature is enabled (Configuration Menu) then: when you press the FILTER button to turn
off the filter, only the heater will turn off, the Filter LED will flash and the display will indicate "Heater Cooldown".
At this point the filter pump will automatically turn off after 5 minutes of heater cooldown operation. If you want to
override the heater cooldown, simply press the FILTER button again to turn off the filter pump.
Two Speed or Variable Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, simply press the "FILTER" button to
turn on high speed operation of the filter pump. The "Filter" LED will illuminate continuously. Pressing the
"FILTER" button again will switch to low speed operation and the "FILTER" LED will flash. Note that if the pump
has been off for more than 30 seconds, it will run at high(est) speed for 3 minutes regardless of selection. This high
speed operation helps allow the pump to prime and establish normal water flow.
Freeze Protection: This function protects the pool, plumbing, and equipment against freeze damage. If Freeze
Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the preset freeze protection temperature (see
Filter Configuration), the OnCommand will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water.
