Low Voltage Wiring

Valve Actuators

The Aqua Logic can control up to four 24V automatic valve actuators. Two of the valve outputs are

dedicated to the pool/spa suction (Valve2) and return (Valve1) valves. Valve3 and Valve4 are for general

purpose use (solar, water feature, in-floor cleaner, etc.).

For installations with solar heating, Goldline offers the AQ-SOL-KIT-xx solar kit that contains a valve,

actuator, and extra temperature sensor. The “xx” indicates the valve type from the 3 choices below:

-1P

1.5” Positive Seal

-2P

2” Postive Seal

-2NP 2” Non-Positive Seal

The Aqua Logic is compatible with standard valve actuators manufactured by Jandy, Pentair/Compool,

and Hayward. See diagram on page 10 for the location of valve connectors.

Heater Control

The Aqua Logic allows for independent control of up to 2 heaters plus a solar heating system if applicable.

A typical use for this feature is on a pool that has both a gas heater (for rapid heating of the spa) and a heat

pump (for economical heating of the pool). IMPORTANT: If you chose to use the “Heater2” control

output, then you will not be able to use the “Valve4” output. These 2 functions use the same internal

relay and only one can be enabled. In the configuration menu, if “Heater2” is enabled, then the configura-

tion for “Valve4” will never appear. The heater interface wiring, as described below, is identical for “Heater1”

and “Heater2” except for the terminal connections at the Aqua Logic control.

The Aqua Logic provides a set of low voltage dry contacts that can be connected to most gas heaters or

heatpumps with 24V control circuits. Refer to the diagram below for a generic connection. The manuals

supplied with most heaters also include specific wiring instructions for connecting the heater to an external

control (usually identified as “2-wire” remote control). For millivolt or line voltage heaters, contact Goldline

Tech support, 888-921-7665. Refer to the diagrams and the information on the following pages for more

details on the connection to several popular heaters.
