    AquaLink won't recognize AquaRite

    Yes. It's been a while but when it sees a non-Aqua pure device it will write 0x12345678 to 4 byte locations in the higher side of the memory and that will lock it out. Reading back the memory from the device will show you and allow you to clear its by overwriting these locations with 0x00000000...

    I just installed the IQ900-RS upgrade

    You do not need the translator, but you need to set your SWG to AL-5, otherwise, they set a few lockout bytes that will disable _ALL_ SWG support from there on. It is possible (and easy) to revert this, but it involves tapping into your bus with a $10 adapter. See my response here for more...

    AquaLink won't recognize AquaRite

    That's right. When the system sees a device announce itself as Aquarite (or others), instead of AquaPure, the Aqualink system will lock out ALL SWGs for ever. It is fairly easy to fix, but it will require you to tap into the RS-485 communications bus to reprogram the AquaRite (once). It uses a...

    AquaLink won't recognize AquaRite

    That's what Zodiac/Jandy will do to you. I had the same problem after upgrading to an iAqualink (rev T) device (see my post a week or so ago). I was sniffing my RS-485 bus and my Aquarite kept identifying itself as "Aquapure", but the system kept recognizing it as "Aquarite (not compatible)"...

    My Aquarite is displays 200.

    AL-0 is what your Aquarite reports to an RS-485 control system (like Aqualink). It means "Aqua Rite". 31.6 is the voltage on the cell, and 0.00 means there is no current going through the cell. -0 is the instantaneous salt level in ppm, and is 0 because the cell is not generating. I am not...

    Integrating new Intelliflo pump w/ Aquarite system

    The Aquarite and the Intelliflo are controllable over its RS-485 port. Depending on your pool controller, it might just be a matter of hooking it up and programming. I am running an Intelliflo VF, Aquarite (rev 1.59) on a Jandy Aqualink RS8 (rev R), and can program them all to turn on at the...

    I just installed the IQ900-RS upgrade

    dflynn60, did you find a solution? I had a rev T board and it also didn't work. I had it on AL-0 hooked up to the rev T board, before I switched it to AL-5. I snooped the bus, and the Aquarite was responding to the ID request with "AquaPure", so I know that it was emulating AL-5 right. The Power...
