PROGRAMMING AND OPERATION

Operating the Pool Pilot with an Electronic Control System
Note: Refer to the instructions in the manual for the Electronic Controller to adjust and boost the
Pool Pilot Digital output setting.
When configured for operation with an electronic control system, the Electronic Control System takes control of the pump
operation, purifier % output, and Boost mode, and will display “Remote Operation”. To test the Pool Pilot, enter the Maintenance
menu and select Disable Remote, see pg. 33 for instructions. This will disable the electronic controller and restore the Pool Pilot
to the normal operating mode for diagnostics. Once completed, reactivate Ena ble Remote to restore Electronic Control operation.
Note: Remote Operation disables the Temperature Compensation feature and will require periodic testing and adjusting of your
chlorine level due to seasonal temperature changes.
Remote Operation also overrides the Pool Pilot Purifier % setting and operates as per the Electronic Control System setting.
When the pump stops or the electronic controller is in the Service mode, the purifier output will be turned off. The purifier output
and Boost operation are both functions within the electronic controller menus and are accessible only when the pump is running.
Programming the Pool Pilot Digital for an Electronic Control System
Programming must be done in two menu modes.
1. Press MENU, then press
∆ or ∇ until “Installer menu” is displayed, then press and hold the SELECT button for 13
seconds. (The display will update when the INSTALLER mode has activated.)
2. Press
∆ or ∇ until “Set Relay 1” is displayed, then press SELECT (Relay not used is the factory setting).
3. Press
∆ or ∇ until “Relay not used” is displayed (if previously adjusted from the factory setting), then press SELECT.
4. Press
∆ or ∇ until “Select Remote” is displayed, then press SELECT.
Select “
Remote 1” for the more common electronic control system interface, then press SELECT
Select “
Remote 2” for the modified Jandy Rev. L software, then press SELECT
5. Press
∆ or ∇ until “End menu mode” is displayed, then press SELECT.
Adjusting the Pool Pilot through the Electronic Controller Control Panel
The operating instructions for the electronic control system will describe how to adjust the output and boost settings. When
necessary, the display will alert the user to “Check Pool Pilot”.
Note: The Electronic Controller will recognize the Pool Pilot only when the circulation pump is operating.
The Pool Pilot will display “REMOTE OPERATION” once the Electronic Controller is connected and communicates. The
Electronic Controller will periodically display the Pool Pilot chlorine output setting and salt level.
The Electronic Controller Displays “CHECK POOL PILOT”
The Electronic Control System will display this message when the Pool Pilot reports a problem such as low salt, loss of flow, or a
cell problem. The problem should be checked on the Pool Pilot. Follow the instructions on pg. 33 to
“Disable Remote”, and then
check the Digital display message for fault. Once the Check System has been corrected,
“Enable Remote” to resume Electronic
Controller operation.
See pgs. 44 - 49, Troubleshooter Section for other Pool Pilot Error Messages.
