Jandy VSP turning on when lights are turned on or off?!

[xendon]

Have a Jandy VSP and using an AquaLink PDA to control it. Noticed a really strange anomaly…when the pump is off, if I turn on the lights it kicks the pump on again. Also, if the pump is off and I turn off the lights, the pump turns on again too. What gives? Is something wired incorrectly or just poor design & functionality of the PDA software? Mentioned this to the builder and he had no clue. Even searched online to see if anyone else is having this issue and can’t find any mention of it. So perplexing

Welcome to TFP.
Is this a new setup? If so, it appears to be a wiring issue or a programming issue that the relay for the lights is also activating the pump. Is the PDA the only way that you access the system? Who did the programming and the wiring?

Thanks Herman, glad to be here.
Yes, this is a new setup. I only use the PDA to control the system and the wiring and programming was done by the pool builder.

Appreciate the link, I’ll review in more detail, but at a quick glance I read this and I have to agree …

“With a PDA system, you program from the PDA, which is super clunky (you will hate life).”

Truthfully, if this is a new system did the PB offer a iAquaLink set up that is accessible via your phone app and web?
The PDA system is really old, coming out well over 10 yrs ago.
