- Page 7 ® Operation: A Standard Relay's coil is supplied 24 VDC from the Power Center PCB via one of the two driver chips. When 24 VDC is received by the relay's coil wires, it closes the contacts that complete the circuit to turn on the equipment (i.e., power supplied to Line 1 goes out Load 1 to the equipment).

Page 8: Standard Relay
® Operation: The Two Speed Relay operates in conjunction with a Standard Relay to operate a two speed pump/motor. The Standard Relay is the On/Off relay and the Two Speed Relay is the switching relay. Activating the relay coil for the Standard Relay will complete the contact circuit between Line 1 and the motor common, and Line 2 and the Two Speed Relay's Common. -

Questions and answers
Pool pump was working fine. Kids got in spa started pushing buttons. Now pump won’t go back on. Any ideas?
A Jandy AquaLink RS pool pump could stop working after buttons were pushed due to the system being in Auto Mode, where the buttons on the power center do not control equipment. Additionally, if the system is in Service or Time Out Mode, only those specific buttons will respond, and the pump may not operate as expected. Other possible causes include issues with DIP switch settings, a misconfigured valve actuator, or a problem with the relay connections. If the heater cool-down feature was disabled or a related DIP switch was changed, it could also affect pump operation.

@Mr. Anderson thanks but how do I get the pump to come back on and circulate the water?
from my phone, connection error: could not connect to devise and has a red dot
The red dot in the iAquaLink app indicates that the device is not properly connected to the cloud server, even if it is connected to the local network.

all lights stay on and buttons do not respond
The issue seems to be that the AquaLink RS panel is not responding to button presses except for the "Service" button, while the remote app (iAqualink) is functioning correctly. Possible causes include:
1. Panel Lock or Mode Conflict – The panel may be in "Service" mode, preventing button operation.
2. Firmware or Software Glitch – A system reset might be needed.
3. Wiring or Connection Issue – Even though connections were checked, a loose or faulty wire could still be the cause.
4. Defective Control Board – If relays are not clicking when buttons are pressed, the board may be malfunctioning.
5. Settings or Configuration Issue – The system may be set to only allow remote control.
To fix this, try resetting the panel, checking mode settings, and inspecting the control board for faults.

My Aqualink program is set to turn on my filter pump at 9am and turn off at 4pm. It turns off at odd times before 4pm. What might cause this
The Jandy AquaLink RS may turn off the filter pump at odd times before the scheduled 4 PM due to several possible reasons:
1. Spa Circulation Activation – If water circulation is switched to the spa, the cleaner and possibly the pump may turn off.
2. Spa Overflow Feature – Activating this feature may cause the cleaner and pump to turn off.
3. Solar Activation – When the solar system is activated, the cleaner turns off for 3 minutes to purge air from the system, which may also affect the pump.
4. DIP Switch Settings – If DIP switch #2 is ON, AUX 2 controls the low speed of a two-speed filter pump, which could cause unexpected behavior if not configured correctly.
5. Electrical Issues – Loose wiring connections, a failed capacitor, or overheating could cause the pump to turn off unexpectedly.
6. Automation Conflicts – If the AquaLink RS is trying to control different equipment with conflicting schedules, the pump may turn off earlier than expected.
Checking these conditions and settings should help determine why the pump turns off before the scheduled time.

My pump and pool sweep are working fine and came on at appropriate time. However, on inside panel lights for such are not lit. Would it be helpful to reset system at pool side panel?
