If external chlorination is enabled. For larger pools or when you have an unusually high bather load,
a large amount of rain, a cloudy water condition, or any other condition that requires a large amount
of chlorine to be introduced to the pool, adjust the Superchlorination period to provide adequate
chlorination. Smaller pools require less hours of Superchlorination.
Group Function
The OnCommand offers the ability to assign one Group function to a particular button. Instead of the button
controlling one particular function, the button can be programmed to initiate a sequence of commands that are
programmed in the Configuration Menu. For example, instead of the Lights button turning on and off the pool light
only, the button can be programmed to turn on the pool light, turn on the bug light, turn off the pool cleaner, and turn
on the music all at the same time. This convenient feature can be assigned to either one of the Aux buttons, the
Lights button or the Valve 3 automated function.
Before assigning and configuring all the desired functions and their control parameters within the group, the group
itself must be configured. The options for controlling groups are Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, and Timeclock.
The group will turn on and off based on this selection.
When setting up a Group function in the Configuration Menu, the first menu allows you to select the control
parameter (how the group is activated and de-activated) and the second menu allows you to select which functions
are to be controlled in the group.
A table of functions and their corresponding control parameters are listed below.
Note that all functions in the table may not be offered. The available functions are dependent on how the OnCommand
is configured. Also, under some circumstances, functions will be displayed but can’t be changed. Note that the
function whose menu you are in, will not be displayed as an option and will automatically turn on when the group is
activated. For example, if programming a Group function under the Lights menu, the Lights function will not be
offered as an option and the Lights function will automatically turn on with the group.
The available control parameters vary with each function. All functions offer “Unaffected”, which should be
selected if you do not wish to control that particular function within the group. All other parameters will depend on
the particular function selected.

Filter Pump
For 2-speed pumps: When a 2-speed pump is configured, one of the AUX relays must also be
configured to control the low speed motor winding on the pump. Refer to the appropriate sections in
the Installation manual for specific information regarding the control logic for 2-speed and variable
speed pump operation.
For the Hayward Tristar variable speed pump: The Filter relay is used to supply input power to the
VSC pump control. The relay will be on when the filter pump output is on. When the filter pump
output is off, the relay will be off. On , off and speed is controlled by commands sent to the pump.
Lowest Speed
This is the lowest speed that the variable speed pump is allowed to run at. It is used as the lower limit
in the Low Speed Settings Menu. Set lowest speed from 10% (default) to 50%.
Highest Speed
This is the highest speed that the variable speed pump is allowed to run at. It is used as the upper limit
in the High Speed Settings Menu. Also, this is the speed that the pump will run at during the first 3
minutes of operation anytime the pump has been off for more than 30 seconds. Set highest speed from
20% to 100% (default).
Freeze Protection
Freeze protection is used to protect the pool and plumbed equipment against freeze damage. If freeze
protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the freeze threshold (see below), the
OnCommand will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water. If “Pool and Spa” is selected in the Pool/
Spa sub-menu, the valves will also alternate between the pool and spa every 30 minutes and the filter
pump will turn off while the valves are turning. The chlorinator will not operate if freeze protection is
the only reason the pump is running.
Freeze Protection Speed
This menu only appears if freeze protection is enabled and the pump is configured for 2-speed or
variable speed pump operation. This is the speed that the pump will run at during freeze protection
operation. Select high (default) or low speed operation.
Freeze Protection Temperature
Select the temperature to be used for freeze protection. Temperature is adjustable from 33ºF - 42ºF
(1ºC - 6ºC). 38ºF (3ºC) is default. This threshold will be used for all outputs that have freeze protection
enabled.
