Questions and answers
can't turn on by phone anymore
You may not be able to turn on your Jandy AquaLink RS by phone anymore due to weak signal strength between the PDA Handheld Remote and the Transceiver J-Box. Signal strength decreases with distance and can be further reduced by obstructions like walls. Additionally, if there is no power to the control panel, as mentioned, this would also prevent remote operation. You should check the power supply, fuse, transformer output, and ensure the panel is functioning.
