Page 3: Installation Steps
The ACHN requires an AQL2-BASE-RF base station to be installed on your pool con- troller. If the Pro Logic or Aqua Rite Pro doesn't already have an AQL2-BASE-RF, one must be installed. They can be purchased at your local Hayward dealer. Follow the included instructions for proper installation. - Page 4 LEDs. In extreme cases where radio communication is impossible, the ACHN may be con- nected directly to the pool controller by an RS-485 cable. Contact Hayward at aquaconnectsupport@haywardnet.com. Once a suitable location has been found, unplug the ACHN to terminate the range test.
- Page 5 Local Server Setup and Verification The ACHN includes local server software which can be accessed via any PC on the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the ACHN itself. All that is required is a web browser such as Internet Explorer (there is no special application needed to connect to the ACHN).
- Page 6 Figure 2 Once the local server starts, it will show a display that corresponds to the pool controller associated with your ACHN (Figure 3). If the display and buttons are functional, go to "Using the Local Server" (page 6) for more information. Figure 3 If the page appears but the buttons do not respond, your home network may not support URL access to the local server.

Figure 5 At the command prompt, type "ping mypoolnnn" where nnn is the last 3 digits in the ACHN's MAC address (see "ACHN's URL" on page 3) and press the ENTER key on your keyboard (Figure 6). Figure 6 After pressing ENTER, the system will reveal the IP address associated with the ACHN's URL.
- Page 8 Enter the IP address (found in step 4) into the address line of Internet Explorer and press the ENTER key on your keyboard (Figure 8). Figure 8 The local server should start and be functional. Figure 9 Using the Local Server The local server responds to single clicks and forwards the associated key to the pool controller.
