Installation & Compatibility Notes
This remote requires a compatible base station (for example the AQL2-BASE-RF) properly connected to a compatible main control unit. Before installation, ensure the automation system has the required firmware revision and that the base station is installed. The remote must be paired (“taught”) to the base station so that its unique ID is recognized and commands are accepted. After pairing, test each control function from the spa-side location to ensure reliable communication.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the remote periodically for cracked housing or water intrusion—replace if compromised.
- If communication fails or LED does not flash at command, test battery status and re-teach the remote to the base station.
- Keep the remote’s protective cover and O-ring (if applicable) clean to maintain waterproof integrity.
- Store the remote in a location that avoids extreme heat when not in use to preserve battery life and electronics.
