Overview The functions and features described in this manual assume that the OmniLogic is using the latest firmware version available from Hayward. The OmniLogic HLBASE is a multifunction pool automation control that is expandable to meet all your needs and fully manage your pool/spa system. The OmniLogic can control pumps, valves, lighting, heaters, pool chemistry and more.
Page 6
Features The standard Hayward HLBASE OmniLogic offers the following features: • control up to 4 (expandable to 10) high voltage (120/240V) relays to control pumps, pool lights, yard lights, water features, chemical dispensers and more • control up to 4 (expandable to 8) automatic valve actuators including pool and spa valves, water feature valves, cleaner valves and more •...
NOTE: If replacing a Pro Logic Controller using networked ColorLogic Lights, the lights must be put into “Standalone” (default) mode before disconnecting the Pro Logic. The OmniLogic can only control ColorLogic lights in “Standalone” mode. USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS...
When selecting a location, note that the standard cables supplied with the included flow switch and temperature sensors, as well as optional accessories like Hayward TurboCells and actuators are all 15 ft. (5m) long. Try to mount the OmniLogic at a height where the touchscreen can be accessed easily.
The OmniLogic model requires the use of a chlorinator cell and plumbing kit to provide pool chlorination. These items are not included with the OmniLogic and can be purchased separately at your local Hayward dealer. Choose a chlorinator cell model based on the size of your pool; models are shown below. In addition to the chlorinator cell, a plumbing kit (P-KIT) must be purchased.

The water sensor should be installed on the pool loop prior to the heater and will display the pool temperature whenever the “Pool Filter” pump is running. The dual equipment spa sensor should be installed on the spa loop prior to the heater and will display the spa temperature whenever the “Spa Filter” pump is running.

“Pool Filter” pump is on and the system is in the “pool only” operating mode. The plumbing diagram on page 6 is intended to be used as a general guideline and is not a complete plumbing schematic for the pool. USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS...
Flow Switch (supplied with P-KIT) A Hayward flow switch is required if using the optional TurboCell for chlorination, a liquid chlorine dispenser, chlorine tablet feeder or an AQL-CHEM2 for pH dispensing. The flow switch is a safety device that ensures that water is flowing before the OmniLogic starts to generate/dispense chlorine or dispenses acid. It must be plumbed in the same section of plumbing as the TurboCell or dispenser.

The OmniLogic requires 120VAC, 5A power to operate the control logic circuits and the chlorinator. This power should be connected to a dedicated circuit breaker. WARNING: 120VAC only (permanent damage will occur if connected to 240V) USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS...

Requires two relays for proper operation of both speeds. NOTE: When selecting relays for two speed operation, note that both relays must be within the Relay Bank (HLRELAYBANK) or neither relay should be within the Relay Bank. The diagram below shows the pump connected to relays outside of the Relay Bank. USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS...
Speed Pump. Valve Actuators The OmniLogic HLBASE can control up to four automatic valve actuators. When used with the op- tional Input/Output Expander Board (HLIOEXPAND), up to 8 valve actuators can be used. Two of the valve outputs are normally used for the pool/spa suction (Valve2) and return (Valve1) valves. Valve3 and Valve4 are for general purpose use (solar, water feature, in-floor cleaner, etc.).

(usually identified as “2-wire” remote control). For millivolt or line voltage heaters, contact Hayward Tech support, 908-355-7995. Refer to the diagram on page 12 for the location of heater connections (LVR) on the OmniLogic Main Board.

Smart Heaters are programmed with a Hayward Unique Address (HUA) which allows it to be fully controlled by a Hayward Omni pool automation control. Similar to other Smart Devices such as select Hayward variable speed pumps, you will be able to remotely create schedules and setpoints for both heating and cooling while displaying real time heater status and diagnostics for the Smart Heater.

If both solar and dual equipment are desired, another temperature sensor must be purchased separately. The sensors are provided with a 15 ft. cable. If a longer cable is required, contact the Hayward service dept. (908-355-7995) for information on suitable cable types and splices.

The HLWLAN can be mounted up to 25ft away from the OmniLogic and requires an ethernet connection to the OmniLogic, a power connection to the Omni- Logic’s Main Board, and a 2.4GHz connection to the router. Refer to the HLWLAN manual for detailed installation instructions. USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS...
Salt Chlorination When used with an optional Hayward TurboCell and P-KIT, the OmniLogic can generate all the chlorine needs for pools up to 40,000 gallons (150,000 liters), or the needs of most commercial pools up to 25,000 gallons (95,000 liters). If enabled (see Configuration Wizard), this operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool/spa water.
A high salt level can cause the OmniLogic to stop chlorinating. The salt in your pool/spa is constantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout the swimming season should be minimal. This loss is due primarily to the addition of water because of splashing, backwashing, or draining (because of rain). Salt is not lost due to evaporation.

The OmniLogic’s firmware is the basic operating system that runs the unit. The OmniLogic was shipped with the version of firmware that was available at the time of release. There may be a newer version available and if so, we encourage you to upgrade. Also, if you have experienced problems, Hayward Technical Support may advise you to upgrade your OmniLogic firmware.
In this case, a keyboard will be displayed and you’ll be able to type the desired name. After naming the equipment, save then advance. This method is repeated throughout the Configuration Wizard. USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS...
