The PL-PS-4/8/16 models require 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 Hayward dealer. Choose a chlorinator cell model based on the size of your pool. The following models are available:...
Wireless Remote Controls A single Base Station must be installed on the Pro Logic in order to use any of the Hayward wireless remote controls. There is no limit on the number of wireless remotes that can used. The maximum distance between 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.
3. Plumbing “Standard” 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 LIGHTS High Voltage Relays Valve Outputs LOW VOLTAGE Filter Pump Pool/Spa Suction...
“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. Refer to the diagram below: High Voltage Relays Valve Outputs Heater Outputs HIGH VOLTAGE LIGHTS...
5. The chlorinator cell must be installed in the pool plumbing. If spillover is enabled, then the Pro Logic can chlorinate both the pool and spa (during spillover operation). Otherwise, the Pro Logic will only chlorinate the pool and the spa sanitization will have to be handled manually. 6.
4. The Pro Logic 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 Pro Logic can chlorinate both the pool and spa (during spillover operation).

Page 32
External Input When enabled, the filter pump will be forced off when the external input is active. Note that freeze protection will have precedence over this feature. NOTE: Heater1 and Heater2 configuration are identical. If Heater2 is enabled then Valve4 will automatically be disabled due to the fact that they use the same output relay and only 1 function can be assigned to that relay.
Page 33
Heater Extend If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off time until the pool (or spa) is heated up to the desired temperature setting (see Settings Menu). Heater extend will NOT cause the filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn off time when the heater is operating.
Page 34
Solar Extend If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off time if solar heat is still available. When solar heat is no longer available, both the solar valve/pump and filter pump will turn off simultaneously. Solar extend will NOT cause the filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn off time when solar is operating.
