Pre-Installation Checklist

Networked ColorLogic lights must be set in “Standalone” mode or they will fail to operate after the upgrade.
All equipment settings and schedules will be lost after the upgrade.
This upgrade will convert the old control to the Omni family of products and will require Omni-specific accessories. Old remote controls, AQL2-BASE antennas and AQL-CHEM Sense and Dispense will no longer be compatible after the upgrade.
For systems using a Hayward Ecostar VSP running firmware version less than R3.0.5 (pumps built before 2014), a Hayward SPX3400LCD display must be purchased and installed on the EcoStar pump if variable speed operation is desired with the Omni automation control. If single-speed control is desired, no changes are necessary.
Power is removed to all equipment in the system.
All safety precautions have been read in the Installation manual.
All parts listed in the Installation manual are included in the box.
All of the necessary tools and mounting hardware have been gathered (drill, drill bits, Phillips & flathead screwdrivers, level, wire cutters/strippers, mounting anchors, and fasteners).
The Controller will be mounted a maximum of 15’ from the OmniPL and will be mounted a minimum of 6’ horizontal distance from the pool or spa.

Record Current Configuration and Wiring

Set ColorLogic Network lights into standalone mode before proceeding! All settings will be lost after upgrading. Before starting the installation, record all of the current settings and connections using the worksheets in the Installation manual. If there are accessories being used (ColorLogic lights, AQL-CHEM Sense and Dispense, etc.), you may have additional settings beyond what is covered in the worksheets. A Connection Table is provided to record all connected equipment. All of this information will be used to configure the new OmniPL and return your system to its original function.

Access Mainboard

With power disconnected to the control, remove the door by opening it, then lift it up and off of the hinges. Remove the dead front panel, this will not be reused. Remove the keypad by pulling it straight out (away from the mainboard) and disconnecting the cable. Record the location of all wiring connections by taking a photo or writing them down.

Remove Wiring from Old Mainboard

After taking a photo, start removing the wiring from the printed circuit board (PCB). The green terminal blocks can be lifted off of the old board without the need to remove individual wires. Except for AquaLogic, these terminal blocks will connect to the new board in exactly the same manner. For AquaLogic, remove the individual wires that will be used and attach them to the OmniPL mainboard separately. Many of the connections from the old board will connect to the new OmniPL board at the same locations.
Some high voltage wiring will be removed and not used. Refer to the callouts for each of the connections shown below in the diagram.

Replace the Old PCB with the OmniPL PCB

Depending on your model, use either a screwdriver or 5/16 nut driver to loosen or remove the fasteners securing the old PCB to the enclosure. Slide the board up to remove it. Place the new OmniPL PCB in the same location and secure it with the original fasteners.

Mount Controller

HAYWARD HLPROUPG OmniPL Retrofit Kit - Fig 5

The OmniPL Controller has a 15 ft cord that must plug into the OmniPL PCB. When considering a suitable mounting location, refer to the Pre-Installation Checklist on the front of this Quick Start Guide and mount in a location that is convenient for viewing and changing settings. Allow enough clearance above the enclosure so that the flip door can open fully.
A mounting template is provided in the Installation manual. To install, screw two appropriate fasteners into the mounting surface at the desired location as shown. Tighten until the bottom of the screw heads is 1/8” off the mounting surface then hang the Controller firmly on the screws.

Install Wiring to OmniPL PCB

Connect the wiring from the old PCB to the new OmniPL PCB. Unless upgrading an AquaLogic, green terminal blocks can connect in the same locations as the old PCB. Refer to the wiring connection callouts below.

Start-Up, Configuration, and Registration

With all connections complete, tuck back all the wiring to prepare for the dead front installation. Locate the new dead front and knock out all appropriate breaker locations. Install the new dead front panel and reattach the door. Turn on power to the OmniPL. The OmniPL will power on and prompt you to begin configuration (see below). The Configuration Wizard will ask you general questions relating to your pool/spa and specific questions about connected pool equipment. Configuring the OmniPL requires knowledge of all of the connected pool equipment. Refer to your worksheets and Connection Table from Step 1 while configuring the OmniPL.
