Hi All,
Got distracted for awhile - but, getting tired of walking outside around house every time I want to adjust something on my controller.
Had a previous thread started when I was going to go the wireless route, but determined I can run wire without too much trouble - and, I only want one location for a remote pad (inside the house).
I can install, but I understand the control boards within the ProLogic grouping have different firmware - and this causes some wired remote controllers to NOT work. This plus a lot of confusion on my part about which hard wired remote I need - especially, given I may want to add a fifth relay for a solar mat heater.
To the which firmware question - I am unable to determine from looking at the panel which firmware is on the PCB. The outside panel says SmartControl Automation, the PCB has several sets of numbers on tags:
- G1-015043H-1
- G1-011049F-1G 1736100006
- 090007-44601
I currently have what looks like a PL-P-4 that controls a two speed pump, pool lights, gas heater and a UV system (see photos). Is the Hayward AQL-WW-P-4 the correct wired solution for this basic setup? (no spa). The differences in P and PL are confusing me.
If I want to add a solar mat later - will I need a fifth relay position for this, which would mean a panel change to a PS-8 for that relay - or can I just bolt on another relay in one of the other four locations on the enclosure (see photo)? And, does this mean I would also need the local controller for (up to) eight relays - and the remote controller for (up to) eight relays?
Looking for a basic, but reliable solution - more confusing than I thought as the technical solutions have expanded
. The firmware differences are confusing, and add on top the future need for a solar heater ... gah ...
Would really appreciate some advice!
Thanks!!
