Re: Guidance Needed: Hayward Check System "Exp. Unit Software PS-16 Comm Error"
His old board did not give the error. His system is PS-8, but at some point, the display was switched to a PS-16. This did not create an error.
So, I’m thinking there might be a way that they set the board at the time of system assembly. Maybe a hidden menu. If the board was not preset, the new display should have caused the error.
Replacement boards are all the same for all systems. So the board has to read the display type and set accordingly. This is what’s causing the error.
I’m thinking that if they can preset a board to PS-8, then it might work without an error.
There might even be a hidden menu that can change the setting, but I don’t think that Hayward would want to tell everyone.
