If you are looking for an inexpensive solution that anyone can do, I have found one. The antenna is a whip type. When you open the box up, you will see that it is mounted through the box and held in place by a nut. The cable leading from the antenna comes up through a hole in the PCB to a...

I was looking through this post and noticed that your salt level being reported is 7700. I'm assuming that is ppm since the next number is reporting pool temperature at 74F. If your salt level is 7700, then it is too high and the SWG will not turn on. I would take a water sample to the pool...

Ronald - If you do some search, you will see that the iAqualink Rev T.2 doesn't work with the AquaRite. Jandy decided to ignore AquaRite SWGs. If you have powered up the 2 products connected by the RS485, the iAqualink is now locked out of being used with any SWG. But this is not the end of...

If you look at other posts, you will see that Jandy changed the software so that it will no longer works with your AquaRite. Also post in the forums, people have reported using a device called "Chlorinator Translator" to allow the Aqualink to control the AquaRite. Search for Chlorinator...

@Ronald007, since you are now running Rev T2, using the webpage or app, you can check the status of the RS485 devices. To do this go to Help, then press next until the list of RS485 device is shown. Let us know when is listed.

Since it worked before, the old SWG might have been wired to be powered on when the pump is on. Since to replaced it, you might have disconnected the pump wires and not connect them back up. I would recommend checking your wiring. If you don't have a electrical knowledge, you should get...

Have you tried contacting the manufacture of the Chlorinator Translator and see if they can help?

BB - Yes the red box in your picture is the RS485 interface connector. As for the ground, the ground on the connector is the ground reference for both the RS485 and the ground for the 10V. So, yes connect the 10V ground to the RS485 ground. DO NOT connect this ground to earth ground in the...

I think you are a little confused. The RJ connector on the bottom of the case (flow control) is just an input from a switch that tells the AquaRite that there is water flow in the pipe. If there is no water flow, the AquaRite doesn't turn on the cell. This connector is not the RS485...

FYI - SWG stands for Salt Water Generator. The AquaRite is a SWG. So, what do you have connected to the AquaRite's communications connector? If you look at the manual for the AquaRite, there is a 4 pin connector on the board. This normally gets connected to the AquaLink or other pool control...

badabing - To answer this inquiry, yes, since the Aquarite was supported by the earlier Aqualink RS systems, you can see and control the SWG. The issue is if the SWG is already connected to an Aqualink system, all you can do is listen to the data packets going back and forth. If it isn't and...

badabing - I think you might have miss read something about the Chlorinator Translator. I believe it works with Aqualink RS and PDA systems. Also it works with the Rev T, T1, and T2 with the iAqualink. So, if you haven't found a solution, you might want to revisit it and even contact them...

This information has just come to me. At first it was thought that Jandy started locking out SWGs with Rev T. Well, on the 52 pin chip, they did it for Rev M, MM, and MMM.

Coolpool2008, since you indicated that you have iAqualink and have connected the AquaRite to it and power the system up, you have most likely locked out all SWGs from your system. If you had gone to the web page for your system and gone to the Help menu, you can press the NEXT button until you...

The reddish orange connector is a RS485 interface. It is design to have multiple devices connected to it. So you can place more than one wire in each of the screw terminal connection. Just note what wire you put in each position as Uncle Flappy told you. Waiting to hear if you get it working...
