Glossary Of Controller Messages - Jandy AquaLink RS Owner's Manual

BATTERY IS LOW, BATTERY LOCATED AT THE POWER CENTER - This message (located in DIAGNOSTICS under the SYSTEM
SETUP) indicates that the battery supplying power to the Power Center clock (in case of power outage) is low, and should be replaced.
The battery is a standard 9V, and may be replaced by removing the battery door (marked on the Power Center - Power Center is located
by the pool equipment).
CLEANER CANNOT BE TURNED ON WHILE SPA IS ON - This message is displayed if the pool cleaner is activated when in spa mode
(i.e., water is circulating to spa). The pool cleaner requires that water be circulating to the pool in order for it to operate. Return to pool
mode to activate the cleaner.
CLEANER CANNOT BE TURNED ON WHILE SPILLOVER IS ON - The return valve has been rotated to the spa position to give the spa
spillover effect.
FREEZE PROTECTION ACTIVATED - This message indicates that freezing conditions have been detected by the freeze protection
sensor, and that equipment assigned to freeze protection (e.g., filter pump) are active. See the section on freeze protection on page 9 of
this manual for more information. (NOTE: Only the filter pump is protected unless the optional freeze sensor is installed.) If a freeze
protected Auxiliary is turned off during freeze protection, a message will scroll indicating that item is off but will turn on in X amount of
minutes. The minutes will vary depending on how long freeze mode has been active from 1 to 15 minutes.
SENSOR OPENED - This error message indicates that the sensor is not installed properly or is malfunctioning. Call your pool service
person to resolve this problem. NOTE: If the message reads WATER SENSOR OPEN, the heater will not fire. If message AIR SENSOR
OPEN is displayed, freeze protection will not operate correctly.
POOL HEATER ENABLED - This message indicates that the pool heater is ready to use but is not actually firing. The filter pump must be
on, and the water temperature must be below the setting for the heater to fire.
PUMP WILL REMAIN ON WHILE SPILLOVER IS ON - This message is displayed when you attempt to turn off the filter pump while a
spa spillover is on. Since the filter pump is necessary for spillover operation, the pump will remain on until the spillover is turned off.
PUMP WILL TURN OFF AFTER COOL DOWN CYCLE - This message indicates that the filter pump is circulating water to cool down the
heater. The filter pump will continue to run for five minutes to protect the heater from damage, whenever the heater has fired and has
been off for less than 5 minutes.
PUMP WILL TURN ON AFTER DELAY - This message is displayed during pool/spa switching. The AquaLink RS waits 35 seconds while
the valves turn from pool position to spa position (or vice-versa) before activating the filter pump.
SERVICE MODE IS ACTIVE - This message indicates that the Controller has been locked out from the Power Center and is not
operational. Service mode is used by the pool service person to aid them in servicing the pool. The Controller will not be functional until
the switch at the Power Center is moved back to AUTO mode.
SENSOR SHORTED - This error message indicates that the sensor is not installed properly or is malfunctioning. Call your pool service
person to resolve this problem. NOTE: If the message reads WATER SENSOR SHORTED the heater will not fire. If the message AIR
SENSOR SHORTED is displayed, freeze protection will not operate correctly.
SPA WILL TURN OFF AFTER COOL DOWN CYCLE - When the system is in Spa Mode (water is circulating to the spa) and the Spa
button is pressed to switch water circulation to the pool, the system will not switch to Pool Mode for five minutes, and will continue to
circulate the water (if the heater has fired and has been off for less than five minutes). This delay allows water to cool the heater down by
circulating water through it, preventing equipment damage.
TIMED AUX ON, WILL TURN OFF AFTER 30 MINUTES - This message indicates that a timed auxiliary (usually a blower) has been
activated and will turn off after 30 minutes. Some labels (e.g., blower, fill line) have a built-in 30 minute shut off.
TIMEOUT MODE IS ACTIVE - This message indicates that the Controller has been locked out from the Power Center and is not
operational. TIME OUT mode is used by the pool service person to aid them in servicing the pool. The Controller will not be functional for
three hours, or until the switch at the Power Center is turned back to AUTO mode.
SPILLOVER IS DISABLED WHILE SPA IS ON - This message is displayed when the spa spillover is pressed while in spa mode
(water circulation is to spa). The spillover requires that water circulation is to pool in order to operate. The spillover will activate when the
system switches back to pool mode.
