Preparing Pool/Spa Water General Water Chemistry Salt is required only if you are using the chlorinator features on the Pro Logic Control. If you are NOT using the chlorinator, it is recommended that you follow all of the other chemistry recommendations besides salt.
The pool’s chemistry must be balanced BEFORE activating the Pro Logic’s optional chlorinator function. NOTE: If the pool does not have new water, add metal remover and non-copper based algaecide to the pool, per manufacturer’s instructions. This ensures a quick, troublefree transfer to the Pro Logic system. Salt (When using optional chlorinator function ) Salt Level...

Rectangular Round Oval Type of Salt to Use It is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99.0% pure. This can be found at most pool stores in 40-80 lb. bags labeled “for use in swimming pools”. Alternatively, use common food quality or water softener salt that is at least 99.0% pure.
The PL-P-4 model requires the use of a chlorinator cell and plumbing kit to provide pool chlorination. These items are not included with the Pro Logic and can be purchased separately at your local Goldline dealer. Choose a chlorinator cell model based on the size of your pool. The following models are available:...
Pro Logic. Refer to the AQL-CHEM2 manual for specific installation information. Optional Remote Controls Goldline offers a variety of wired and wireless remote control options for the Pro Logic. Each model gives you the ability to control your pool’s functions from a remote location, away from the Control Center.
Note that the Pro Logic is compatible with AQL2 wireless remote controls only. A single AQL2-BASE-RF Base Station must be installed on the Pro Logic in order to use any of the Goldline wireless remote controls. With the Base Station installed, there is no limit on the number of wireless remotes that can used. The maximum distance between the wireless remotes and the base station on the Pro Logic main control unit is 400 feet (120m) line of sight or 200 feet (60m) through walls, etc.
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 Relays Filter Pump Lights Aux 1 Aux 2 MANUAL VALVE POOL/SPA SUCTION...
Turbo Cell (choose proper model for your pool) The Turbo Cell (used for chlorine generation) should be plumbed AFTER the filter and heater. If installed on a pool/ spa combination system, the cell should be plumbed BEFORE the pool/spa return valve in order to allow proper chlorination of both the pool and the spa.
Remote Keypad Temp Sensor Inputs External Input Heater Output Valve Connectors Flow Switch Cell Connector Subpanel The Pro Logic Control Center requires both high and low voltage connections. Low voltage connections will be made to actuators, sensors, remote keypad, etc. High voltage connections will be made to pumps, lights, etc., as well as providing direct input power to the Control Center.
General Purpose Outlet If desired, a duplex receptacle with weatherproof cover (supplied by installer) may be installed in the knockouts on the lower right side of the Pro Logic enclosure. Per code, the receptacle should be a GFCI type. Alternatively, connect a standard receptacle to a GFCB.

Goldline pH Dispense Output: NOTE: The Pro Logic can only be used with a 120VAC pH dispensing device. There are two Pro Logic versions that require different installation techniques. Pro Logics operating with a software version less than 4.00 require the pigtail or pH dispensing device to be connected to an internal relay.
(Valve2) and return (Valve1) valves. Valve3 is for general purpose use (solar, water feature, in-floor cleaner, etc.). For installations with solar heating, Goldline offers the AQ-SOL-KIT-xx solar kit that contains a valve, actuator, and extra temperature sensor. The “xx” indicates the valve type from the 3 choices below: 1.5”...

VSC Pump Address Setting For proper communications, a pump address must be set for each VSC used in the system. For single pump systems, the VSC address should be set to 001. When using Dual Equipment, the Pool Filter pump should be set to 001 and the Spa Filter pump should be set to 002.
Base Station Plug in the pigtail connector from the wireless base station into the “wireless” connector on the main PCB in the Pro Logic control unit. Base Station (AQL2-BASE-RF) Tighten nut AQL-CHEM ORP and pH Sensing Kit Plug in the connector from the AQL-CHEM into one of the “COMM” connectors on the main PCB in the Pro Logic control unit as shown below.

Goldline Aqua Rite Chlorinator The Pro Logic can control one or more Goldline Aqua Rite chlorinators when additional sanitizing capacity is required. A 4 wire connection is used to communicate to the Aqua Rite and can be wired up to 500' apart. Any outdoor rated 4 conductor cable can be used.
After plumbing and wiring are complete, the Pro Logic MUST BE CONFIGURED before attempting to operate. Configuration information is entered at the keypad and “tells” the Pro Logic what equipment is connected and how each should be controlled. Accessing the Configuration Menus Configuring the Pro Logic requires that you navigate through the Configuration Menu and input various informa- tion.
Chemistry Config. Press to access Chemistry Config. Wizard Wizard + to enter Move to previous/next menu item Chemistry Configuration Wizard Requires use of the optional AQL-CHEM Sensing Kit. Following the steps of the Chemistry Config. Wizard will set up the AQL-CHEM to sense ORP and pH levels and, if chlorination is used, can configure the Pro Logic to generate the correct amount of chlorine to properly sanitize the pool.
V1=Aux1, V2=Aux2 This menu appears only if the Pool/Spa Setup is “Pool Only” or “Spa Only”. When enabled, Valve 1 (return) will follow the Aux1 output and Valve 2 (suction) will follow the Aux2 output. When disabled (default), the return and suction pool/spa valves function normally. Filter Off Valve Change This menu appears only if Pool/Spa setup is set to “Pool and Spa - Std”.

6. System Startup and Checkout Before Startup Before starting the Pro Logic for the first time, be sure that the following items have been completed: 1. Pool/spa chemicals are within the recommended levels according to the chart on page 2. 2.
• 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 Pro Logic 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.
