Iaqualink. IQ30-rs

[Shiva.n]

Hello all,

First time poster here.

I upgraded my old PDA version of jandy rs4 to the iq30. It works amazing. I noticed the pda layout changed a bit, I guess because the memory was wiped when I changed the board. I followed some YouTube videos and every thing was pretty straight forward. My aux controls my lights and that turns on and off fine. I also have aux2,aux3,and aux4. aux2 controls the valve that turns on my Botton heat, aux3 controls valve that turns on my water jets feature and aux4 controls valve that turns on my stairs jets. My issue is only Aux 1 works for some reason. Am I missing something? Ive saw the word "dip switches" come up in some post, Im not sure if that's my case. I just swapped out old board and put new board in and everything was basically plug and play. I had a rs4 before the new board is an rs8.
Can you guys help out a frustrated user here. Thanks in advance.

I think you need to associate the AUX buttons with the valve actuators on iAqualink.

@PoolGate can show you the screen.

As "smart" as these systems are, you still have to tell them everything. They don't come with any programming other than relay 1 is always the filter pump, whether you hook one up (single speed) or put nothing in the relay (VSP). They are not as plug-and-play as one might expect because every pool is different and has different requirements. If you have a SWG and a VSP, you can use relay 1 turn on the chlorine generator, but it will still be labeled pump.

The dip switches are at the far right of the board and set various parameters of operation. Don't start changing them unless you know what you are doing. The instructions are clear, but you must speak "pool" to completely understand.

ah. ok that sounds like what im missing. awaiting...

yes

yes that makes sense. the filter pump and heat had dedicated spots to plug in. so those work fine. but as @ajw22 mentioned, I think I have need to associate the AUX buttons with the valve actuators on iAqualink. Not sure how...

Its not that hard, but more info on your pool equipment is needed to help.

 

[ajw22]

Find the Assign JVA page...

yup found that. just not sure what to do

aux 2 = bottom heat. aux 3 = water jets feature, aux 4 = stairs jets.

on the pda when I used to hit it the valve would turn and open . pda memory was wiped when Installed the new board.

I am assuming you have actuators on diverter valves for those.

You need to determine what JVA sockets each actuator is plugged into.

You need to find each actuator on the valve and follow the wire to where it is plugged into on the Aqualink board.

Post pics of what you find.

yes. each actuator has a wire that is plugged into aux2,3,4
I just took the wire out the old board and put it in the new board at the same place. but as u said we need to associate the AUX buttons with the valve actuators. ill post pix for u. hang on

So in the pictures u will see my valve actuators. Each has the wire run to aux 2,3,4

Also a pic of my panel with new board. Even if I turn the aux on it doesn’t activate the jva

 

[ajw22]

You have not shown me where the other end of the actuator wires plug into the JVA sockets.

The AUX has sockets for the high voltage relays.

Each has the wire run to aux 2,3,4

The wires do not run to aux 2,3,4.

Follow the wires and see where they do run into.

ok I get it. Ill do that in the morning. see where it goes to.

Look closely and you will see actuators have 3 wire sockets. The AUX relays have 2 wire sockets.

These are the 3 actuator connections. You need to trace the wires to know which valve is connected to which of the JVA sockets...

These connection are for the high voltage AUX relays...

Ok. I’ll do that tomorrow and keep you posted. Thanks

The instructions specify to write all of that down before you swap the board out. Your pda also is now just an on/off device. You will program everything with the web interface.

Hello. The 3 jva run to “intake, cleaner and solar”

That’s where they were in the old board so I put them in the same spots.

Yes. I did. It was in intake, cleaner and solar. I put them back in the same spots.
