Automatically and remotely control pumps, heaters, valve actuators, pool and yard lighting, pool chemistry equipment and more. The OmniPL offers the next generation of technology to man- age pool/spa equipment, allowing communication to web connected computers and mobile devices. You can now conveniently monitor your pool/spa and change settings anytime, and from anywhere. Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install, configure or operate this unit. The functions and features described in this manual assume that the OmniPL is using the latest firmware version available from Hayward. Features The standard Hayward OmniPL offers the following functionality: • 100A service subpanel with 8 circuit breaker capacity • 4 high voltage (120/240V) relays to control pumps, pool lights, yard lights, water features, chemical dispensers and more (2 additional internal relays and 2 external Smart Relays can be added for up to 8 total) • control up to 4 automatic valve actuators including pool and spa valves, water feature valves, cleaner valves and more • control up to 4 heaters or low voltage equipment including gas heaters, electric heat pumps, and solar heaters as well as various low voltage devices • controls up to 8 variable speed pumps* (VSPs) without the use of a relay • up to 5 external inputs; 3 for temperature sensing, 2 for external input devices • built-in wireless and Ethernet port for connection to the home’s router/access point allowing communication to devices on the home network or on the web • connection for Hayward TurboCell used to generate chlorine • connection for a flow switch to detect water flow (GLX-FLO) • input for ORP and pH sensing (HL-CHEM) • control an optional Hayward Aqua Rite salt chlorinator for additional chlorination. If controlled by the OmniPL, the Aqua Rite must have a HLAQRPCB communication board installed Optional accessories (page 2) can expand the functionality of the OmniPL. Determine your needs and select the necessary accessories before you begin the installation. Equipment OmniPL Wiring Panel The Wiring Panel contains a 100A subpanel which will be connected to the main service. The included high voltage relays (and optional external Smart Relays) are used to automate high volt- age pool equipment like lights, water features, pumps and more. The remaining connections to the 3 USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS Wiring Panel, including the Controller, are all low voltage. Depending on your installation, these con- nections could be to a variable speed pump, Smart Relays, heaters, temperature sensors, actuator, flow switch and more. OmniPL Controller The Controller is weather resistant and comes with a 15 ft cord. Its resistive touch screen with flip down cover is designed to function year round directly in the elements. Because it plugs into the Wir- ing Panel, it should be mounted close by, but in a location that is convenient for the user to periodi- cally view and change pool/spa settings. Lastly, the Controller contains the wifi radio and its location should be considered if planning to use a wireless connection to the home router or access point. A wireless mobile device (phone, tablet, etc.) can be used to test the signal strength at the intended mounting location. The Controller features a USB connector for firmware updates and an Ethernet connector for an optional direct wire connection to your router (if wifi won’t be used). Temperature Sensors Depending on your installation, up to 3 temperature sensors may be used. The OmniPL requires a water temperature sensor for heater operation. If freeze protection is desired, an air temperature sensor is also required. For solar heating systems, a solar sensor is necessary. Even if your instal- lation doesn’t require the use of temperature sensors, installing water and air sensors provides a convenience to the user, especially during remote use. Flow Switch (not included) An optional flow switch can be used to detect leaks or clogs in the pool/spa plumbing. A flow switch is required if using chemistry Sense and Dispense accessories. Overview Before attempting to install the OmniPL, familiarize yourself with the installation steps on the fol- lowing pages. Also refer to the sample overview diagram on page 5 showing wiring to a variable speed pump. In this example the high voltage to the pump, heater and Smart Relay come directly from circuit breakers in the electrical panel. Low voltage communication from the OmniPL turns these devices on and off. If there was a single speed pump in the system, the power would come from one of the OmniPL’s internal relays or a Smart Relay. In that scenario, the relay would turn the pump on and off. The OmniPL offers connectivity to the web through the home’s network. Once connected, web en- abled devices such as a PC, laptop, tablet or phone can be used to control and monitor the OmniPL. For web connectivity, use the OmniPL’s internal wifi or an Ethernet cable must be run from the Controller to the router or access point. This overview diagram is offered as a guide and it’s likely that your installation will differ. Refer to the following pages for specific wiring information. Be aware of each circuit breaker’s rating and don’t exceed their rated load. * If a non-Hayward brand VSP or an older non-supported Hayward VSP will be used, the pump can only operate at one speed. The pump must be locally programmed to run 24 hrs/day at a fixed speed and the OmniPL will turn it on and off based on the desired programmed time. Follow instructions to install and function like a single speed pump. For some Pentair VSP pumps, a Hayward HLPMPCONV communication board can be used for full speed control. USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS 4 Installation Steps DANGER of Death, Injury or Property Damage if procedure not followed. Dead front removal is required for this installation. Power to the OmniPL panel MUST be shut off before the dead front is removed. This means a complete shutdown of power to the entire OmniPL panel. Details on each installation step are presented on the following pages: 1. Mounting the equipment (page 6) 2. Plumbing (page 10) 3. Electrical Wiring (page 14) 4. Prepare the pool water (page 25) 5. System Startup and Firmware Upgrade (page 28) NOTE: If replacing a Pro Logic Controller using networked ColorLogic Lights, the lights must be put into “Standalone” (default) mode before disconnecting the Pro Logic. The OmniPL can only control ColorLogic lights in “Standalone” mode.

The control must be mounted a minimum of 6 ft. (2 meters) horizontal distance from the pool/spa (more, if local codes require). The Wiring Panel is designed to mount vertically on a flat surface with the knockouts facing downward. Because the enclosure also acts as a heat sink (disperses heat from inside the box), it is important not to block the four sides of the control. Do not mount the Wiring Panel inside a panel or tightly enclosed area. When selecting a location, note that the standard cables lengths for flow switches and temperature sensors, as well as optional accessories like Hayward TurboCells and actuators are all 15 ft. (5m) long. The Wiring Panel weighs approximately 60lbs and will require two people to position and install. Select the proper location and mounting hardware given the size and weight of the unit. The Wir- ing Panel mounting brackets require a total of 6 mounting bolts to fasten the Wiring Panel to the mounting surface. In all cases the heat sink on the back of the Wiring Panel panel should not contact the wall behind the panel. This restricts air flow and makes the heat sink less efficient. A minimum separation of 1/8” (except for vinyl siding) should be maintained between any heat sink pin and the siding on the wall behind the enclosure. In the case of a flat wall the mounting flanges on the enclosure ensure that the minimum clearance is maintained. For shingles, clapboards or other siding with a non-flat profile, the installer must ensure the minimum separation. Refer to the diagram on page 7. Special Installation Instructions for Vinyl Siding IMPORTANT: The heat sink on the back of the OmniPL panel cannot be allowed to contact vinyl sid- ing; during normal chlorinator operation the heat sink pins get warm enough to deform vinyl siding on contact. An increased minimum separation of 3/8” should be maintained between any heat sink pin and the vinyl siding behind the enclosure. USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS 6 OmniPL Controller The Controller comes with a 15 ft cord and plugs into the Wiring Panel. It should be mounted in a location that is convenient for the user to view and change pool/spa settings. When considering the mounting location, make sure there is enough clearance above the enclosure so that the flip door is able to be opened fully. Also be sure to allow enough clearance below the Controller to access the USB and Ethernet connectors. For best viewing results, position the Controller where it won’t be subjected to direct sunlight. The Controller has two keyhole cutouts on the back of its enclosure. To mount, screw the two pro- Minimum Clearance between heat sink and mounting surface - 1/8” For Vinyl Siding - 3/8” 7 USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS vided fasteners into the mounting surface at the desired location as shown. Tighten until the bottom of the screw heads are 1/8” off the mounting surface. Position the Controller cutouts over the screw and slide the unit downward. You may have to tighten or loosen the screws slightly to fully engage the screw heads to get a snug fit. Smart Relay (HLH485RELAY) The OmniPL can control up to 6 internal high voltage re- lays and up to 2 additional external Smart Relays. Smart Relays are sold separately and are packaged with a single gang electrical box. They can also be used with any exist- ing comparable standard electrical box with a minimum volume of 16.2 in3. If using 115 VAC, make sure that there is a Neutral line inside the box before installation. If not, you must run a separate Neutral wire to power the Smart Relay. This is not a concern if using 230 VAC. Note that conduit and connections to the included plastic box must be non-metallic. Find a location within 15 ft of the Wiring Panel with conve- nient access to the pool equipment that you intend to con- trol with the Smart Relay. Three threaded 1/2” NPT knockouts are provided for high voltage power coming into the relay and for power out to the pool equipment. A Wiring Whip is included with the Smart Relay and will aid in the installation. The Smart Relay has a manual On/Off button that can be used if communication is lost with the Wiring Panel. Although this button is not functional during normal operation, mount the Smart Relay in an accessible location to use this feature in case of communication loss. Mount the Smart Relay to a wall or other flat surface using the mounting holes which are designed to accommodate #8 screws. 2 7/8” USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS 8 Temperature Sensors Water Sensor This sensor is used to measure the pool/spa temperature and is installed in the filtration plumbing after the filter but before either the solar or conventionally fueled heaters—refer to the plumbing overview diagram. 1. Drill a 3/8” (10mm) diameter hole in the PVC piping and remove all chips and burrs. 2. Insert sensor until O-ring collar sits flush on the hole. 3. Position hose clamp over the sensor and gently tighten until O-ring makes an adequate seal. Do not overtighten. Air Sensor Mount the air sensor outdoors. IMPORTANT: The air sensor must not be mounted in direct sunlight. Solar Sensor (not included) For solar applications, mount the solar temperature sensor near the solar collector array so that it is exposed to the same sunlight as the collectors. Use additional cable (20 AWG) if necessary. Optional Chlorination Function The OmniPL can generate chlorine using a Hayward chlorinator cell and plumbing kit. These items are not included with the OmniPL and can be purchased separately at your local Hayward dealer. Choose a chlorinator cell model based on the size of your pool; models are shown below. In addition to the chlorinator cell, a plumbing kit (P-KIT) must be purchased. This kit contains the cell unions and flow switch. Refer to page 13 for plumbing instructions. T-CELL-940 for pools up to 40,000 gallons T-CELL-925 for pools up to 25,000 gallons Optional HL-CHEM Sensing Kit The HL-CHEM is an ORP and pH sensing kit for the OmniPL. When chlorination is enabled (requires chlorinator cell, liquid chlorine feeder or tablet feeder), the OmniPL senses the pool’s ORP and pH levels and generates/dispenses the correct amount of chlorine to keep your pool properly sanitized. Wiring and plumbing requirements for the HL-CHEM should be considered before installing the OmniPL. Refer to the HL-CHEM manual for specific installation information. NOTE: OmniPL is not compatible with AQL-CHEM. Optional AQL-CHEM2 CO2 Dispensing Kit The AQL-CHEM2 is a CO2 dispensing device that connects directly to the OmniPL. When used with an HL-CHEM, the OmniPL will sense the pool’s pH level and automatically dispense the correct amount of CO2 to control the pool’s pH. Wiring and plumbing requirements for the AQL-CHEM2 should be considered before installing the OmniPL. Refer to the AQL-CHEM2 manual for specific installation information. 9 USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS Optional Valve Actuators For installation, refer to the mounting instructions included with the Hayward GVA-24 actuator or equivalent. After configuring and first operating the valve, note that the internal cams in the actuator may have to be adjusted depending on the way the actuator is mounted on the valve and the desired valve action. Plumbing 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.

The OmniPL can be programmed to accommodate spa spillover, if desired. 2. A conventional heater (gas or heat pump) and solar can be used to heat both the pool and the spa. 3. If the chlorinator cell is plumbed prior to the pool/spa return valve, then both the pool and the spa can be chlorinated 4. The water sensor should be installed prior to any heater or solar and will display either the pool or the spa temperature, depending on the current operation of the pool. The temperature will only be displayed when the filter pump is running. 5. If any water feature or pressure side cleaner boost pumps are used, be sure to enable the “in- terlock” feature (see CONFIGURATION for details) to ensure that the pumps operate only when the filter pump is on. 6. The plumbing diagram above is intended to be used as a general guideline and is not a com- plete plumbing schematic for the pool. 7. The air sensor must be installed if the freeze protection feature is enabled for the filter, valves, chlorinator, other pool functions. “Dual Equipment - Separate Heaters” for Pool/Spa Configuration These systems have 2 complete sets of equipment (filter pump, filter, heater)—1 set for the pool and the other set for the spa.

When the system is configured for Dual Equipment: a. The pool filter can be a one, two or variable speed pump. b. The spa filter can be a one, two or variable speed pump. 2. The water sensor should be installed on the pool loop prior to the heater and will display the pool temperature whenever the “Pool Filter” pump is running. 3. The dual equipment spa sensor should be installed on the spa loop prior to the heater and will display the spa temperature whenever the “Spa Filter” pump is running. 4. The OmniPL can be programmed to accommodate spillover if desired. Note that spillover operation will be automatically suspended whenever the spa filter pump is turned on. 5. The chlorinator cell must be installed in the pool plumbing. If spillover is enabled, then the OmniPL can chlorinate both the pool and spa (during spillover operation). If not using spillover, the OmniPL can control an AquaRite (purchased separately) for chlorination of both bodies of water. 6. If any water feature or pressure side cleaner boost pumps are used, be sure to enable the “in- terlock” feature (see CONFIGURATION for details) to ensure that the pumps operate only when the “Pool Filter” pump is on. 7. The plumbing diagram above is intended to be used as a general guideline and is not a com- plete plumbing schematic for the pool. “Dual Equipment - Shared Heaters” for Pool/Spa Configuration These systems have 2 complete sets of equipment (filter pump, filter) and shared heaters. Refer to the diagram below: Notes regarding the control of Dual Equipment Pool/Spa systems with shared heaters: In the Pool/Spa Config., select: 1. When the system is configured for Dual Equipment: a. The pool filter can be a one, two or variable speed pump. b. The spa filter can be a one, two or variable speed pump. c.

The dual equipment spa sensor should be installed on the spa loop prior to the heater(s) and will display the spa temperature whenever the “Spa Filter” pump is running. 4. The OmniPL can be programmed to accommodate spillover if desired. Note that spillover operation will be automatically suspended whenever the spa filter pump is turned on. 5. The chlorinator cell and flow switch must be installed in the heater return path. If spillover is enabled, then the OmniPL can chlorinate both the pool and spa (during spillover operation). If not using spillover, the OmniPL can control an AquaRite (purchased separately) for chlorination of both bodies of water. 6. If any water feature or pressure side cleaner boost pumps are used, be sure to enable the “in- terlock” feature (see CONFIGURATION for details) to ensure that the pumps operate only when the “Pool Filter” pump is on. 7. The plumbing diagram above is intended to be used as a general guideline and is not a com- plete plumbing schematic for the pool. Optional TurboCell The TurboCell (used for chlorine generation) must be plumbed AFTER the filter and heater. If installed on a pool/spa combination system, the cell must be plumbed BEFORE the pool/spa return valve in order to allow proper chlorination of both the pool and the spa. Refer to plumbing diagram below: The cell may be mounted vertically or horizontally, and water can move in either direction through the cell. Install using the 2” unions provided. Tighten unions BY HAND for a watertight seal. For systems with 1½” plumbing use adapters (provided by installer). Flow Switch A Hayward GLX-FLO flow switch (sold separately) is required if an HL-CHEM ORP & pH Sensing Kit will be used. If no chemistry equipment is installed, the GLX-FLO is optional and can be used to detect leaks or clogs in your pool’s plumbing system. If using the GLX-FLO, it must be plumbed in line with any chemistry sensing/dispensing equipment at the very end of the return plumbing. This will ensure that the OmniPL will detect a leak if it occurs anywhere at the pool pad. Understand that if a leak occurs after the flow switch (downstream), the OmniPL will not sense a no-flow condition. IMPORTANT: There must be at least a 12” (30cm) straight pipe run before (upstream) the flow switch.

Run properly rated conductors (L1, L2, N, and ground) from the primary house electri- cal panel to the main power connections on the OmniPL circuit breaker base. The connection at the main house panel should be to a 240VAC circuit breaker rated at 100A maximum. Grounding and Bonding Connect a ground wire from the primary electrical panel to the OmniPL ground bus bar. Also ground each piece of high voltage (120 or 240VAC) equipment that is connected to the OmniPL control relays or circuit breakers. The OmniPL should also be connected to the pool bonding system by an 8AWG (6AWG for Canada) wire. A lug for bonding is provided on the outside/bottom of the OmniPL enclosure. Circuit Breaker Installation and Wiring Circuit breakers are to be supplied by the installer. Refer to the circuit breaker chart below for a list of suitable circuit breakers that can be used. Follow the code and the circuit breaker manufacturer’s rating requirements regarding the size and temperature rating for wiring. Note that some pool equipment may be required to be connected to ground fault circuit breakers—check local and NEC (CEC) codes. OmniPL Power The OmniPL requires 120VAC, 5A power to operate the control logic circuits and the chlorinator. This power should be connected to a dedicated circuit breaker. WARNING: 120VAC only (perma-nent damage will occur if con- nected to 240V) 15 USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS 230 VAC Connection Table The OmniPL includes 4 high voltage relays, 4 low voltage/heater relays, 4 valve outputs and 4 temperature sensor inputs. Two additional HLRELAYS (HVR9 and HVR10) as well as two additional Smart Relays (HVR7 and HVR8) can be added. When wiring pool equipment to the OmniPL, keep a record of all connections. You’ll need to record which input/output is used and what equipment is attached. To aid in this process, use the table below.

Universal ColorLogic Lights (UCL): The OmniPL can be configured to synchronize multiple UCLs, even if their low voltage transformers are not wired to the same relay. If UCL(s) will be running in Omni Direct mode (lights built after June 2018), the transformer(s) can be wired to either an internal relay or a Smart Relay. Refer to your Universal ColorLogic manual for more information about Omni Direct mode. Hayward Variable Speed Pump Proper installation of a Hayward Variable Speed Pump (VSP) includes high voltage input wiring, low voltage communication wiring, and menu configuration/settings. The OmniPL can control up to 16 EcoStar VSPs without the use of a relay. Refer to the adjacent diagram for proper 220VAC input wiring to the VSP. Refer to “Low Voltage Wiring” section in this manual for information on commu- nication wiring. Refer to the VSP manual(s) for detailed wiring information.

Their 4 conductor cable is wired to the same connector as a VSP. Wire the cable as shown below. Up to two Smart Relays can be controlled by the OmniPL. Valve Actuators The OmniPL can control up to four automatic valve actuators. Two of the valve outputs are normally used for the pool/spa suction (Valve2) and return (Valve1) valves. Valve3 and Valve4 are for general purpose use (solar, water feature, in-floor cleaner, etc.). For installations with solar heating, Hayward 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 2 choices below: -1P 1.5” Positive Seal -2P 2” Positive Seal The OmniPL is compatible with standard valve actuators manufactured by Hayward, Pentair/Com- pool, and Jandy. Actuators will connect to the VLV outputs on the Main Board. Refer to the diagram on page 14 for the location of valve connectors (VLV) on the OmniPL Main Board.

Ensure that the connector catch “snaps” into place in order to provide a reliable connection. TurboCell Only applicable if the chlorinator function is enabled. The TurboCell should be plugged in AFTER the OmniPL cover panel is installed. Refer to page 14 for the location of the chlorinator cell connector. HLRELAY The HLRELAY is a single high voltage relay designed to be mounted in the #9 and/or #10 positions near the four on-board relays (see page 14). After installing the HLRELAY, a wire connection must be made at the OmniPL Main Board. At startup, the OmniPL will detect the HLRELAY and allow the user to configure the additional relay(s) in the CONFIGURATION WIZARD. Refer to the HLRELAY manual for installation and wiring instructions. Preparing Pool/Spa Water Salt Chlorination When used with an optional Hayward TurboCell and P-KIT, the OmniPL can generate all the chlorine needs for pools up to 40,000 gallons (150,000 liters), or the needs of most commercial pools up to 25,000 gallons (95,000 liters). If enabled (see Configuration Wizard), this operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool/spa water. The OmniPL automatically converts salt into free chlorine which kills bacteria and algae in the pool/spa. Chlorine will revert back to sodium chloride after killing bacteria. These reactions will continuously recycle, virtually eliminating the need to add sanitizing chemicals to your pool/spa. The only time you may need to add more salt to the pool/spa is when water is replenished due to backwashing, draining, or splashing (not evaporation). The actual amount of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies due to bather load, rainfall, temperature, and the pool’s cleanliness. General Water Chemistry Salt is required only if you are using the chlori- nator features on the OmniPL Control Center. If you are NOT using the chlorinator, it is recom- mended that you follow all of the other chemis- try recommendations besides salt. Water Chemistry This table summarizes the levels that are rec- ommended by the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP). The only special require- ments for the OmniPL are the salt level and stabilizer. 25 USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS Saturation index The saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in the water and is an indicator of the pool water “balance”. Your water is properly balanced if the Si is 0 ± 0.2. If the Si is below -0.2, the water is corrosive and plaster pool walls will be dissolved into the water. If the Si is above +0.2, scaling and staining will occur. Use the chart below to determine the saturation index. The pool’s chemistry must be balanced BEFORE activating the OmniPL’s optional chlorinator func- tion. NOTE: If the pool does not have new water, add metal remover and non-copper based algae- cide to the pool, per manufacturer’s instructions. This ensures a quick, troublefree transfer to the OmniPL system. Salt (When using optional chlorinator function) Use the chart on the bottom of the page to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) should be added to reach the recommended levels. Use the Pool Sizing Formula below (measurements are in feet/gallons and meters/liters) if pool size is unknown. Si = pH + Ti + Ci + Ai - TDS Hardness Calcium 75 100 125 150 200 250 300 400 600 800 Total Dissolved Solids Total alkalinity°C °F Ti Ci Ai TDS 12 16 19 24 29 34 39 53 60 66 76 84 94 102 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.9 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.4 2.5 75 100 125 150 200 250 300 400 600 800 1.9 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.8 2.9 0-1000 1001-2000 2001-3000 3001-4000 4001-5000 12.10 12.29 12.35 12.41 12.44 Use: Measure the pH of the pool water, the temperature, water hardness, total alkalinity, and total dissolved solids. Use the table above to determine Ti, Ci, Ai, and TDS in the formula shown above. If the Si is equal to 0.2 or more, stains may appear. If the Si is equal to -0.2 or less, corrosion or deterioration may occur. Corrosion Stain Ok -0.2 0.2 USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS 26 The operating salt level is between 2700-3400 PPM (parts per million) with 3200 PPM being opti- mal. Before adding any salt, test the salt level. This is especially important for retrofit installation to older pools where all of the chlorine added to the pool over time is ending up as salt. If the level is low, determine the number of gallons in the pool and add salt according to the chart below. A low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the sanitization and result in low chlorine production. A high salt level can cause the OmniPL to stop chlorinating. The salt in your pool/spa is constantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout the swimming season should be minimal. This loss is due primarily to the addition of water because of splashing, backwashing, or draining (because of rain). Salt is not lost due to evaporation. 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. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt pellets, however, it will take longer for them to dissolve. Do not use rock salt, or salt with more than 1% of yellow prussiate of soda, salt with anti-caking additives, or iodized salt. How to Add Salt For new plaster pools, wait 10-14 days before adding salt to allow the plaster to cure. Turn the circulating pump on and add salt directly into the pool. Brush the salt around to speed up the dis- solving process—do not allow salt to pile up on the bottom of the pool. Run the filter pump for 24 27 USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS hours with the suction coming from the main drain (use pool vacuum if there is no main drain) to allow the salt to evenly disperse throughout the pool. The salt display may take 24 hours to respond to the change in salt concentration. Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will most likely decline together. Use the chart below to determine how much stabilizer must be added to raise the level to 40 ppm. System Startup Before Startup Before starting the OmniPL 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 25. 2. If using chlorinator function, pool/spa salt level is between 2700 – 3400 PPM. 3. Properly rated circuit breakers are installed in the OmniPL subpanel. 4. All wiring is performed according to NEC and local codes. 5. The OmniPL is properly grounded and bonded. Firmware Upgrade The OmniPL’s firmware is the basic operating system that runs the unit. The OmniPL was shipped with the version of firmware that was available at the time of release. There may be a newer version available and if so, we encourage you to upgrade. Also, if you have experienced problems, Hayward Technical Support may advise you to upgrade your OmniPL firmware. To upgrade the OmniPL firmware, refer to the procedure shown in the OmniPL Operation Manual. Upgrading firmware can be performed before or after Configuration but should be done before the OmniPL begins operation. Configuration Initial Configuration When all input and pool related wiring is complete, replace and secure the deadfront. The OmniPL can now be powered on for the first time. Apply power at the main panel and wait for the OmniPL to completely start. This may take a full minute or two.
