Manual System Operation
Turn the power on at the main panel and turn the ECOMMAND 4 control power circuit breaker on. The
keypad will show the default display. The default display alternates between the day/time, air and pool (or
spa) temperature. Under certain circumstances, additional displays may be added to the default menu to
inform you about system operation. Refer to the Programming Menu Flowchart on page 5 to view all
possible displays. The ECOMMAND 4 will automatically scroll through all of the available default menu
displays or you can press “<” or “>” to manually scroll.
While the main objective of the ECOMMAND 4 is to automate the operation of your pool/spa system,
there may be certain times when you want to override the automatic operation and control the equipment
manually. To operate the pool equipment manually while keeping the automation active, perform the
following procedures. Note that if you turn a relay on manually, it will remain on until either you turn it off
manually, or the next time the programmed automatic operation would normally turn that relay off. Ex-
ample: the filter pump is programmed to run from 9:00A to 5:00P daily. If you turn the filter pump on
manually at 8:00PM, it will run continuously until the next day at 5:00PM at which time it will turn off and
follow the normal program from then on. Manually turning off a relay works in a similar fashion.
Filter Pump
Single Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, press the FILTER button to turn on the pump.
Pressing the FILTER button again will turn off the pump. However, if there is a heater in the system, and
it is operating, and the “Heater Cooldown” feature is enabled (Configuration Menu) then: when you press
the FILTER button to turn off the filter, only the heater will turn off, the Filter LED will flash and the display
will indicate “Heater Cooldown”. At this point the filter pump will automatically turn off after 5 minutes of
heater cooldown operation. If you want to override the heater cooldown, simply press the FILTER button
again to turn off the filter pump.
Two Speed or Variable Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, simply press the “FILTER”
button to turn on high speed operation of the filter pump. The “Filter” LED will illuminate continuously.
Pressing the “FILTER” button again will switch to low speed operation and the “FILTER” LED will flash.

If external chlorination is used
Salt level of the pool is 3200. This is measured by the Goldline Aqua Rite or Hayward
Swimpure when external chlorination is used.
This display will be shown only if external chlorination is used and requires a Aqua Rite or
Swimpure chlorine generator. For the chlorinator to be operating, several other things must
be happening: the filter pump must be running, the flow switch must be detecting flow, the
chlorinator setting must be set greater than 0%, the water temperature at the cell must be
between 50ºF and 140ºF, and the salt level must be within the operating range. If any of these
conditions are not met, the chlorinator diagnostic display will tell you the reason. It’s
possible to have more than one reason, in which case after you rectify what was displayed
the first time, a second display will appear.
Possible error messages are:
• PCB Error
• Low Salt/Amps/Minerals
• High Salt/Amps/Minerals
• Test Salt Level (Test Minerals)
Refer to the Aqua Rite or Swimpure manual to correct error.

If the sensor appears to operating properly, then the temperature will be displayed. If this
temperature is not correct then check the placement of the sensor. If the problem is not
placement related, then the sensor will, most likely, require replacement. If the display is
“Open Circuit” or “Short Circuit” then check the wiring to the sensor and also make sure that
the wires are secure in the terminal block in the ECOMMAND 4 main unit.

Available displays depend on configuration. If you call the Hayward/Goldline Technical
Service Dept. for assistance, they may ask for the software revisions of both the main unit
and each of the display/keypads or other devices that are attached to the system. Note that
it is possible that different display/keypads have different software revision levels. For this
reason, it is advisable to check this diagnostic menu item on every display.
