    Manual System Operation 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.

    Lights, Aux1 and Aux2 Outputs Standard Relay: Manual operation of all 3 relays is identical. Assuming that the relay is currently off, simply press the appropriate button to turn on the relay. If the relay does not turn on, it probably is due to the “interlock” feature (which was set up in the Configuration Menu) being activated that requires the filter pump to be running and the valves to be in the pool-only position.

  • Page 7: Automatic System Using The Programming Buttons

This operation is the highest priority and will take precedence over other automatically programmed operations.
