Prologic + MasterTemp 400 Please help!

[Izhe13]

Hello, I have my Pentair MasterTemp 400 connected to my Hayward Prologic board via the 2 wire method (18AWG per spec)

Fireman Switch to the Heater1 relay on the Prologic

I have enabled heater1 in the configuration menu on the ProLogic. I press heater1 and no light illuminates and it says Gas Heater Auto Control and no response from my MasterTemp 400.

When I remove the 2 wires and connect the jumper at the fireman switch the MasterTemp 400 immediately works. I used a multimeter at the Prologic to ensure I am receiving voltage and continuity. I am indeed getting around the 24VAC per spec and continuity.

Any ideas on resolving would be greatly appreciated

When you turn the heater on at the ProLogic, there should be continuity between the two terminals labeled "Heater 1 Relay." Is that what you have? Test with the wires removed. If so, the ProLogic is working correctly. Be sure both wires are stripped clean and completely inserted into the terminals. Before doing that, with the wires removed, twist them together and see it the heater lights. If not the problem is in the wiring. Also, what is the water temperature reading? If the water temp sensor is bad the ProLogic won't allow the heater to light. You usually have to be in service mode to manually light the heater from the ProLogic, or take it out of "auto control" in the menu.

One side has a black wire and the other side has only red and white?

The wires look like a different size?

Is it the same wire?

Did this ever work?

Thank you for the feedback everyone I was able to resolve this by using this guide from Hayward. The heater was working in service mode and as soon as I set the pool and spa to 104F on the ProLogic and exited service mode it worked.

You want to heat the pool to 104 degrees?

Thank you for the feedback everyone I was able to resolve this by using this guide from Hayward. The heater was working in service mode and as soon as I set the pool and spa to 104F on the ProLogic and exited service mode it worked.

Hopefully you set the heater itself to 104 and not the ProLogic.

I can adjust the heater itself manually and then toggle between the spa and pool. If I change the ProLogic temp the heater function stops entirely. Can anyone confirm if this is ProLogic's intended function? Being able to set comfortable pool/spa temps on the Prologic and not have to think about it would be great!

Here are the instructions from the manual on setting up heater operation for a Pro Logic.

Thank you, will look now! In the meantime I was able to change the temperature settings and have the Pro Logic control the temp. When the ProLogic is power cycled though I do have to set 104F in service mode, exit service mode, and then set the desired temp.
