Section 1. Important Safety Instructions
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
The Aqualink control system is for Pool and Spa applications only. NOT FOR USE with anything other than Pool and Spa equipment.
All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local codes. When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
DANGER
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, do not remove the suction fittings of your spa or hot tub. Never operate a spa or hot tub if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the equipment assembly.
WARNING
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 37^ C ( 98.6^ F). The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include: 1) unawareness of impending danger; 2) failure to perceive heat; 3) failure to recognize the need to exit spa; 4) physical inability to exit spa; 5) fetal damage in pregnant women; 6) unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.
WARNING
To Reduce the Risk of Injury -
a) The water in a spa should never exceed 40^ C ( 104^ F). Water temperatures should remain between 38^ C ( 100^ F) and 40^ C ( 104^ F). The water in a spa should never exceed 40^ C ( 104^ F). Water temperatures between 38^ C ( 100^ F) and 40^ C ( 104^ F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
b) Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 38^ C ( 100^ F). Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices varies.
d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
e) Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.
f) Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since some medication may induce drowsines while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock - Install the controller at least 3.5 metres from the inside wall of the pool and/or hot tub using non-metallic plumbing.
Children should not use spas or hot tubs without adult supervision.
Do not use spas or hot tubs unless all suction guards are installed to prevent body and hair entrapment.
People using medications and/or having an adverse medical history should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub.
WARNING
To avoid injury ensure that you use this control system to control only packaged pool/spa heaters which have built-in operating and high limit controls to limit water temperature for pool/spa applications. This device should not be relied upon as a safety limit control.
WARNING
People with infectious diseases should not use a spa or hot tub.
To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa or hot tub.
Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a spa or hot tub to avoid unconsciousness and possible drowning.
Before entering a spa or hot tub, measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.
Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.
Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.
Do not permit any electric appliance (such as a light, telephone, radio, or television) within 3.5 metres of a spa or hot tub.
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
Water temperature in excess of 38^ C ( 100^ F) may be hazardous to your health.
WARNING
A terminal bar marked "GROUND" is provided within the controller. To reduce the risk of electrical shock which can cause serious injury or death, connect this terminal bar to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply panel with a continuous copper conductor having green insulation and one that is equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment in accordance with the latest, enforced version of AS/NZS 3000 and any other applicable local installation codes. In addition, where required, bonding should be extended in accordance with the latest, enforced version of AS/NZS 3000 and any other applicable local installation codes to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within 3.5 m of the pool/spa.
CAUTION
Power to the Aqualink should be supplied by an isolating transformer or through a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA.

Attention Installer: Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components.

2.4.1 Plumbing for Pool and Spa Combination
The following plumbing diagrams illustrate simplified versions of standard plumbing setups for a pool and spa that share the same filter pump, filter, and heater. The intake and return JVAs turn simultaneously so when the spa button is pressed on the AquaLink M8 control panel, water circulation switches between pool and spa (consult the Jandy Pro Series Valve Actuator Installation and Operation Manual to ensure that the JVAs are synchronized and rotate properly). Please consult the Jandy Valve® Plumbing Manual for further examples of pool/spa plumbing.
For pool only/spa only or dual equipment plumbing, please refer to the Jandy Pro Series Valve Plumbing Manual for further examples.
NOTE When the filter system is shared (a pool/spa combo), the spa water must be able to overflow back to the pool.

Section 3. Installation
3.1 Power Center Mounting
-
The power center should be located at or near the equipment pad. Locate the power center at least 3.5M or more away from pool/spa and 1.5M off the ground. All national, state, and local codes are applicable.
-
Use the mounting brackets and instructions provided with the standard power center.
NOTE The power center is not to be considered as suitable for use as service equipment. Therefore, it is required to have the appropriate means of disconnection, circuit isolation, and/or branch circuit protection installed upstream of the power center.
WARNING
Potentially high voltages in the AquaLink Power Center can create dangerous electrical hazards, possibly causing death, serious injury or property damage. Turn off power at the main circuit of the AquaLink Power Center to disconnect the Power Center from the system. To properly and safely wire the system, be sure to carefully follow the applicable requirements of the latest, enforced version of AS/NZS 3000 and any other applicable local installation codes. All applicable local installation codes must also be adhered to.
3.2 High Voltage Wiring
3.2.1 System Power
Depending on the amount of equipment being controlled, run 1/2" or 3/4" conduit from the power supply panel to the bottom of the power center. Pull in appropriate wire for equipment.
3.2.2 Bonding the Power Center
Install a bonding lug to the power center enclosure. Connect the bond lug, using a #8 solid copper core wire, to an approved earth ground (an approved ground stake, grid, or conducting metal water pipe buried to a sufficient depth). See Figure 6.

Figure 6. Standard Power Center - Bonding
3.2.3 Variable Speed Pump to Power Center PCB Cable
The low voltage wiring for the variable speed pumps consists of the RS485 communications four conductor, 22 AWG or larger cable. Make provision for the cable to be run between the pump and the power center. Never run high voltage and low voltage in the same conduit. Pull cable through the knockout with the Heyco fitting and into the low voltage compartment. Strip back jacket 150mm. Strip each wire 6mm and connect to the red, 4-pin connector on the power center PCB.

3.5.4 Resetting the Cams

WARNING
Improper cam settings can result in dead heading of the water flow which can cause injury or property damage. Improper cam settings and/or operation will void the warranty.
NOTE: Before resetting cams, if the valve is plumbed in Standard Plumbing position and the actuator is in Standard Mounting position (see Figure 3). There is no need for resetting the cams. If a port other than "B" is plumbed as the common port or if the actuator is mounted other than Standard Mounting, the cam setting must be changed so the actuator shaft and the valve diverter rotate properly. Refer to the Cam Setting Chart for proper settings.
- Turn OFF actuator power. Unscrew the locking knob by turning the knob counterclockwise. Remove the locking knob and valve handle.
-
Remove the four (4) Phillips head screws that secure the actuator lid and then remove the lid.
-
Rotate the actuator shaft so the arrow mark on the top cam aligns with the microswitch actuator (bottom cam arrow mark should also align with the bottom microswitch actuator, see Figure 20).
Final minor adjustments may be necessary

text_image
Lower Cam Upper Cam Left Microswitch Right MicroswitchFigure 20. JVA Cams
- Determine the mounting position for the actuator (as per Figure 3, the mounting position will be either I, II, III, or IV). Next, determine what valve port is the common or inlet port (per Figure 3, the common port will be either A, B, or C). Refer to the Cam Setting Chart to determine what the cam settings should be.
- For example, if the actuator is in JVA mounting position "I", and the common port on the valve is port "A", the cam settings would be 90° for the top cam and 180° for the bottom.
NOTE: The cam is marked with the arrow at "0", a long hash mark at the 180° position, and 2 short hash marks at the 90° and 270° positions.
- To set the cams, rotate the cam(s) until the arrow mark on the cam(s) align with the microswitch actuator (see Figure 21).

4.1 OneTouch Programming
4.1.1 Basic Programming
To set a particular piece of equipment to turn on and off at predetermined times, highlight MENU/HELP and press SELECT (see Figure 28). Highlight PROGRAM and press SELECT. Use the UP or DOWN buttons to highlight the equipment (for example, filter pump) then press SELECT. Follow the on-screen prompts. Use the UP or DOWN buttons to pick each number, starting with ON hours, press SELECT to enter and move on to the next item to change, including picking what day(s) the program will run. If you make a mistake, use the BACK button to return to a number. If the program is already entered, highlight CHANGE PROGRAM and step through to the entry that should be corrected.
A VARIABLE SPEED PUMP can be programmed to run at any one of its eight (8) speeds. Power to the variable speed pump is switched on/off by a relay, so to program the pump you need to set a program time for the relay and for any speeds that you wish to run during the pumps on cycle.
In the example shown below, the variable speed pump is used for pool filtration, so it will be powered from the FILTER PUMP relay. Therefore to program the variable speed pump you must first set a program time for the FILTER PUMP relay, then you need to program the desired pump speeds to turn on/off during the FILTER PUMP cycle. If you do not program any speeds to run during the filtration cycle, then by default the variable speed pump will run at the POOL speed setting during its filtration cycle.
Example:
- The total length of the filtration cycle is to be from 8am to 5pm. So program the FILTER PUMP to turn on at 8am and to turn off at 5pm
- To run the variable speed pump at the SPEED3 setting from 8am to 1pm, highlight and select VSP SPD1 PGM, then highlight and select SPEED3, program it to turn on at 8am and off at 1pm.
- To run the variable speed pump at the SPEED4 setting from 1pm to 5pm, highlight and VSP SPD1 PGM, then highlight and select SPEED4, program it to turn on at 1pm and off at 5pm.
| ON OFF DESCRIPTION | ||
| FILTER PUMP | 8AM 5PM | M Total duration of filtration cycle |
| SPEED3 8AM | 1PM | Pump runs at the SPEED3 setting |
| SPEED4 1PM | 5PM | Pump runs at the SPEED4 setting |

If this function is on, as long as the heater/chiller is enabled for that body of water, the system will automatically turn on the pump every couple of hours for just enough time to test the water temperature. If the temperature meets the set point, the pump will return to off. If the measured temperature is different than the set temperature, the pump will stay on and the heater/chiller will operate long enough to bring the water to the set temperature.

4.5 PDA Installation
4.5.1 AquaLink Transceiver J-box Installation
Installation Considerations. The remote will transmit through walls and around corners. Steel framing, aluminum siding, wrought iron, cyclone fences, leaded glass, and other 900 MHz frequency items may inhibit/prevent communication between the AquaLink Handheld Remote and the transceiver. The system does not require line of sight to communicate. To optimize communication, it may be helpful to try multiple transceiver locations before permanently mounting it to a location that maximizes its range.
- Turn off all power to the Power Center.
- When practical to do so, mount the Outdoor Transceiver J-box at least 6' above the ground and at least 8' from any air blowers that may be in the vicinity.
- The Transceiver J-box antenna must point towards the sky.
-
Open the door to the Power Center and remove the dead panel.
-
Feed the four conductor wire into the Power Center through the low voltage raceway.
- Cut off the excess wire. Strip the jacket back 6" and strip the individual wires approximately 14 ". Connect the four conductor wire to the red terminal bar on the Power Center PCB.
- Install the dead panel to the Power Center and restore all power.

9.1 DIP Switch Functions
S1 DIP #1 ON-AUX 1 Controls Pool Cleaner
If you installed a booster pump for a pool cleaner, the relay coil for the booster pump must be plugged into the AUX 1 relay socket. If a non-booster pump cleaner is installed, plug the JVA into the cleaner JVA socket. Turn ON DIP Switch #1.
- Main filter pump turns on whenever cleaner turns on.
- Cleaner will not turn on until filter pump has been on for three (3) minutes (to ensure priming of system).
- Cleaner turns off when water circulation is to spa.
- Cleaner turns off when spa spillover feature is activated.
- Cleaner turns off for three (3) minutes when solar is activated (to ensure air is purged from the system).
- AquaLink M8 control panel display reads "CLEANER" rather than "AUX 1".
S1 DIP #2 ON- AUX 2 Controls Low Speed of Filter Pump
Turn this switch ON if you want to control both speeds of a two-speed filter pump. With this switch on, the filter pump button on the AquaLink M8 control panel will control high speed and the AUX 2 button will control low speed.
IMPORTANT You must also install a Jandy two-speed relay.
S1 DIP #3 ON- AUX 3 Controls Spa Spillover (Operates with Pool/Spa Combination)
Turn this switch ON, and when the AUX 3 button on the AquaLink M8 control panel (or spa side switch) is pressed, the return valve actuator will rotate to spa circulation. Because the intake valve actuator does not rotate, the spa will fill with water and overflow into the pool.
NOTE Leave AUX 3 relay socket empty.
S1 DIP #4 ON-Heater Cool Down Disabled
Turn this switch ON to disable the heater cool down safety feature on the AquaLink M8.
S1 DIP #5 ON- Factory Use Only
This switch is used for calibration by Jandy ^® certified technicians only. Please leave this switch in the OFF position.
WARNING
Turn this DIP Switch ON only if you are using an electric heater or a heat pump that does not retain residual heat. If you are turning this switch ON for service purposes, be sure to turn it back off to ensure that equipment operates as specified.
SI DIP #6 ON
Change spare AUX to activate when filter pump is on and system is in spa mode (pool/spa combination units only). Spare AUX socket is on the front side of the power center PCB.
S1 DIP #7 ON- Not Used
This switch only applies to DUAL EQUIPMENT systems. When OFF a separate heater is used for the pool and spa. When ON the pool and spa share the same heater.
S1 DIP #8 ON- Heat Pump Instead of Gas Heater
Turn this switch ON if you have installed a heat pump instead of a gas heater. After thermostat setting has been reached, heater will remain OFF for 5 minutes.
S2 DIP #1 ON- Heat Pump Priority
This switch is used for configuring solar priority or heat pump priority. Set this switch to ON if heat pump priority will be used. Set this switch to OFF if solar priority is to be used.
