Hayward AQL2-BASE-RF Wireless Base Station (RF Receiver) for ProLogic® / AquaLogic® / AquaPlus® / OnCommand®
The Hayward AQL2-BASE-RF is the OEM wireless base station (RF receiver) that enables communication between compatible Hayward/Goldline automation controls and supported wireless remotes. It mounts at the equipment pad and acts as the central “hub” for wireless keypads, spa-side remotes, tabletop/wall-mount remotes, and AquaPod-style handheld controllers (when paired with the correct remote type).
Key Features
- Adds wireless remote capability to compatible automation systems
- Mounts to the side of the main control unit at the equipment pad for a clean install
- Supports multiple wireless devices (system dependent) using a single base station
- Designed for reliable RF communication and range testing (remote/system dependent)
Compatibility
- Hayward/Goldline ProLogic automation systems
- Hayward/Goldline AquaLogic automation systems (software revision dependent)
- Hayward/Goldline AquaPlus automation systems
- Hayward/Goldline OnCommand and E-Command 4 systems (software revision dependent)
Important compatibility note: Wireless accessories that require an AQL2-BASE-RF will not communicate with the older AQL-BASE-RF base station. If you’re upgrading wireless accessories, confirm you have the correct base station model and required control software revision before ordering.
Common Reasons to Add/Replace
- Adding a wireless wall-mount, tabletop, spa-side, or handheld remote to an existing automation system
- Replacing a failed base station causing remotes to lose connection or fail range tests
- Upgrading from an older base station when installing newer wireless accessories
Installation Notes
- Install at the equipment pad on/near the automation panel as directed by the automation system manual.
- After installation, pair/train the wireless remote(s) and perform any available range test from the controller/remote menu.
- Wireless performance depends on distance, walls/structures, and RF interference; place the base station with the clearest practical signal path.
- Electrical work should be performed by a qualified professional and must follow applicable codes.

Maintenance Tips
- Keep the automation enclosure sealed and dry—moisture intrusion is a common cause of RF/board issues.
- If wireless range becomes inconsistent, inspect antenna/base placement and check for new sources of interference (metal enclosures, added Wi-Fi gear, etc.).
- If remotes won’t connect after a power event, re-run the system’s wireless “teach/pair” process and confirm software revisions meet requirements.
