Aqua LogicAqua Logic Aqua LogicAqua Logic Aqua Logic Base Receiver Installation/Operation Manual for model AQL-BASE-RF LDLINE CONTROLS INC. G North Kingstown, RI USA www.goldlinecontrols.com ® Compatibility This product is compatible with all Aqua Logic controls operating software revision r1.10 or higher. To verify the software level of your Aqua Logic control: Press the Menu button (possibly multiple times) until “Diagnostic Menu” is displayed. Next, press the “>” or “<“ keys (possibly multiple times) until the main and display soft- ware revision levels are displayed (the “main” rev should be r1.10 or higher). If the software revision level is less than r1.10 contact the Goldline Technical Service Dept. from Monday through Friday, 8AM to 8PM Eastern at 888-921-7665 for infor- mation on upgrades. This Aqua Logic base receiver can communicate with the Aqua Logic spa-side remote (AQL-SPASIDE-RF) and also the wireless in-house remote display/keypads (AQL- REMOTE-RF-PS-4/8/16). 1 Installation Installation is very easy and should just take a few minutes. Disconnect power and then remove the panel from the Aqua Logic control unit. Re- move the knock-out on the upper left side of the Aqua Logic main unit and mount the RF base station. Secure the base receiver in place by firmly tightening the nut from inside the Aqua Logic unit. Lastly, plug the pigtail cable into the “wireless connector” connector on the Aqua Logic main circuit board. Base Receiver (AQL-BASE-RF) Tighten nut Aqua Logic Main PCB Connector for Base Receiver 2 Operation Every Base Receiver is manufactured with a unique ID code. This allows private, secure communication with all of your remote devices while ignoring any signals transmitted by other wireless devices including any other Aqua Logic controls in the neighborhood. IMPORTANT: Before trying to use any remote device: You must "teach" the correct ID code to the remote device so it knows which base receiver to communicate with. Refer to the Aqua Logic Operation Manual or the manual for your remote device for "teaching" instructions . The Aqua Logic Base Receiver and remote devices are programmed with a sophisti- cated protocol that automatically switches frequencies if other devices are interfering. In the unlikely event that it can not find a usable frequency, it may be necessary to change channels. Refer to the Aqua Logic Operation Manual for instructions. 3 Troubleshooting If you believe that your system is not operating properly or if you have a general question regarding system operation, you may call the Goldline Technical Service Dept. from Monday through Friday, 8AM to 8PM Eastern at 888-921-7665. 1.Can’t find the “Teach Wireless” display: Press the “menu” button (possibly more than once) until “Settings Menu” is displayed. Next, press the “<“ or “>” buttons (possibly more than once) until “Teach Wireless” display appears. If you go through all of the displays without ever seeing the "Teach Wireless" and you get to the point where “Settings Menu” appears again, then this means that the Aqua Logic control unit is not communicating with the Base Receiver. Check that the 4 wire cable from the base receiver is plugged into the “wireless connec- tor” on the main printed circuit board (refer to the Installation section for connec- tion diagram). If this connector is already plugged in (for more than 30 seconds), then call Goldline Technical Service for assistance. 2.“Teach Wireless” failed: Ensure that the remote is powered when pressing the button. This is indicated by a single flash on the LED on the spa-side remote or a message on the display of the in-house remotes. If the remote is powered, then the next most likely cause is that the distance between the base receiver and the remote is too great—try moving the remote closer to the receiver. Lastly, there may be other equipment in the neighborhood that is using the same frequency. To see if this is the case, go to the Settings Menu/Wireless Channel and select another channel. Note that after you change the channel you will have to “re- teach” every wireless remote device in the system. 3.Unreliable communication with remote devices: The most likely cause is that the distance between the base receiver and the remote is too great—try moving the remote closer to the receiver. Lastly, there may be other equipment in the neighborhood that is using the same frequency. To see if this is the case, go to the Settings Menu/Wireless Channel and select another channel. Note that after you change the channel you will have to “re-teach” every wireless remote device in the system. 4.No communication with remote controls: Try the “Teach Wireless” procedure to ensure that the remote knows the ID code of the base receiver and also what channel to communicate on. If this procedure is not successful, then refer to the “Teach Wireless” failed section above. 4 5 Aqua RiteAqua Rite Aqua RiteAqua Rite Aqua Rite ® , Aqua LogicAqua Logic Aqua LogicAqua Logic Aqua Logic ® & Aqua TrolAqua Trol Aqua TrolAqua Trol Aqua Trol ® Limited Warranty This warranty statement is applicable to all Aqua Rite ® Aqua Logic and Aqua Trol ® units with product date codes of January 1, 2002 and after, and supersedes all warranty statements dated prior to January 1, 2002.

Product and General Information Manufacturer: Goldline Controls, Incorporated Model No.: Aqua Logic Base Serial No.: Engineering Unit # 104 Description: Wireless Remote Spa Controller 7. Product Description The Goldline AquaLogic RF Base Station provides a remote wireless solution for a Spa controller system . The system is composed of a “Base Unit” containing the transceiver and control circuitry for the Spa, and a “Remote Controller Unit” containing a transceiver and keypad. The base and remote units comprise a remote control system that utilizes a 5 channel scanning scheme to obtain a clear channel. Base receiver will continuously scan 5 channels for a signal from the remote. The remote is normally in sleep mode and wakes up and transmits upon keypad activation. The RF design is based upon the ‘Chipcon’ CC1020 transceiver IC (half-duplex) for operation in the 902-928 ISM band. The system uses Manchester-encoded binary data at 9600 bps, frequency modulated with a 19.8 kHz peak to peak deviation. The base unit is powered from an external power supply source providing 10 volts DC, which is then regulated to 3.3 VDC internally. The system uses a frequency modulation technique, and is capable of utilizing 25 different frequency channels in the 902-928 MHz band. Three channels were selected for testing: Set 1, channel 1 (902.5 MHz), set 3, channel 3 (914.5 MHz), and set 5, channel 5 (926.5 MHz). The channel and sets are defined as follows: Channel Set Channel Set 1 Set 2 Set 3 Set 4 Set 5 1 902.5 903.5 904.5 905.5 906.5 2 907.5 908.5 909.5 910.5 911.5 3 912.5 913.5 914.5 915.5 916.5 4 917.5 918.5 919.5 920.5 921.5 5 922.5 923.5 924.5 925.5 926.5 MHz MHz MHz MHz MHz L.S. Compliance, Inc. Page 9 of 24 Test Report Number: 303459-TX Rev. 1 Prepared For: Goldline Controls 8. Test Requirements The tests were performed in order to determine the compliance of the Goldline AquaLogic RF Base Station with limits contained in various provisions of Title 47 CFR, FCC Part 15, including 15.109, 15.205, 15.207, and 15.249. All radiated emissions tests were performed to measure the emissions in the frequency bands described by the above sections, and to determine whether said emissions are below the limits established by the above sections. These tests were performed in …
