1. Mounting the Equipment OnCommand Control Unit The OnCommand is contained in a raintight enclosure that is suitable for outdoor mounting. The control must be mounted a minimum of 5 ft. (2 meters) horizontal distance from the pool/spa (or more, if local codes require). The OnCommand is designed to mount on a flat surface with the knockouts facing downward. -
Page 6: Base Station
Base Station The AQL2-BASE-RF base station must be installed if the AQL2-SS-RF or AQL2-POD will be used. To install the base station, remove the middle knockout on the left side of the OnCommand main control unit, insert the base station, and then tighten the nut from the inside. Also refer to the Base Station installation manual and the diagram on page 13. - Page 7 2. Plumbing Pool/Spa system configuration These systems use a single filter pump and filter. Pool or spa operation is controlled by two 3-way valves (suction and return). Refer to the diagram below. HIGH VOLTAGE LIGHTS High Voltage Relays Valve Outputs LOW VOLTAGE Filter Pump Pool/Spa Suction...

3. Electrical Wiring • Ensure that Power is disconnected prior to wiring the OnCommand • Follow all local and NEC (CEC if applicable) codes • Use copper conductors only The OnCommand requires both high and low voltage connections. To gain access to the wiring compartments, open the door and remove the left and right panel covers. -
Page 10: High Voltage Pool Equipment
High Voltage (120/240V) Pool Equipment All OnCommand relays are double pole (they make/break both “legs” of 240V circuits) and are rated at 3HP/25A at 240V (1½HP/25A at 120V). Refer to the diagram below for typical relay wiring. 240 VAC 120 VAC 120 VAC Load Load... -
Page 11: Low Voltage Wiring
Hayward Variable Speed Filter Pump: Proper installation of the Hayward TriStar Variable Speed Control (VSC) includes high voltage input wiring, communication wiring, and menu configuration/settings. Refer to the following diagram for proper input wiring to the VSC. Wiring from a 240V breaker must connect through the OnCommand’s Filter relay. - Page 12 Generic Heaters 1. Wire heater to 120/240V power source per the instructions in the heater manual. The OnCommand does NOT control the power going to the heater. 2. Wire the OnCommand dry contact heater output per the diagram below. Many internal parts of the heater can get very hot--see the heater manufacturer’s recommendations on the minimum temperature rating for wires.
- Page 13 Hayward Heaters Refer to the instructions in the heater manual for “2-wire Remote Thermostat” operation under “Remote Control Connections” and the diagram below: 1. Turn off power to heater. 2. Wire OnCommand to terminals 1 & 2 (see diagram). 3. Leave jumper attached to terminals 4 & 5.
- Page 14 Raypak RP2100 Pool/Spa Heater 1. Turn power off to heater. 2. Push the mode button to “spa” mode. 3. Set the temperature to the maximum. 4. Push the mode button to “OFF”. 5. Plug the prewired connector in the P7 position on the board. 6.
- Page 15 Hayward Variable Speed Filter Pump: Refer to the diagram below for proper low voltage communication wiring between the OnCommand and the Hayward Tristar Variable Speed Control (VSC). Connect screw terminals “1” to “1”, “2” to “2”, etc. Use four conductor cable (typically phone cable) for communications connection between the VSC and the OnCommand.
- Page 16 Goldline Aqua Rite or Hayward Swimpure Chlorinator The OnCommand can control one or more Goldline Aqua Rite or Hayward Swimpure chlorinators when addi- tional sanitizing capacity is required. A 4 wire connection is used to communicate to the Aqua Rite/Swimpure and can be wired up to 500' apart.

Page 17: Group Function
4. Configuration Setup After plumbing and wiring are complete, the OnCommand MUST BE CONFIGURED before attempting to operate. Configuration information is entered at the keypad and “tells” the OnCommand what equipment is connected and how each should be controlled. Group Function The OnCommand offers the ability to assign one Group function to a particular button. -
Page 18: Configuration Menu
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 19 Move to previous/next configuration menu Chlorinator 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.
- Page 20 For the Hayward Tristar variable speed pump: The Filter relay is used to supply input power to the VSC pump control. The relay will be on when the filter pump output is on. When the filter pump output is off, the relay will be off.
- Page 21 Highest Speed This is the highest speed that the variable speed pump is allowed to run at. It is used as the upper limit in the High Speed Settings Menu. Also, this is the speed that the pump will run at during the first 3 minutes of operation anytime the pump has been off for more than 30 seconds.
- Page 22 will NOT cause the filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn off time when the heater is operating. Allow Low Speed This menu only appears if the filter is configured for 2-speed or variable speed operation. During default operation, high speed mode is used whenever the heater is on.

Page 30: Service Mode
• The display will periodically indicate that the filter pump is on for heater cooldown and show the minutes remaining. • The pump will automatically turn off at the end of the 5 minute heater cooldown period. For more detailed instructions on control and operation of the OnCommand system, refer to the Operation Manual. Service Mode Service mode disables all automatic control operation and is intended to be used when servicing the pool system. - Page 31 (3) years. Hayward also warrants its Aqua Trol chlorination products to be free of defects in materials and workmanship, under normal use and service for a period of one (1) year. These warranties are applicable from the initial date of purchase on private residential swimming pools in the US and Canada.
