7.1 
DIP Switch Functions
DIP #1 ON- AUX 1 Controls Pool Cleaner
If you installed a booster pump for a pool cleaner, 
the relay coil for the booster pump must be plugged 
into the AUX 1 relay socket.  If a non-booster 
pump cleaner is installed, plug the JVA into the 
cleaner JVA socket. Turn ON DIP Switch #1.
• Main 
fi lter pump turns on whenever cleaner 
turns on.
•  Cleaner will not turn on until fi lter pump 
has been on for three (3) minutes (to ensure 
priming of system).
•  Cleaner turns off when water circulation is 
to spa.
•  Cleaner turns off when spa spillover feature 
is activated.
•  Cleaner turns off for three (3) minutes when 
solar is activated (to ensure air is purged 
from the system).
•  AquaLink RS PDA Handheld Remote 
display reads "CLEANER" rather than 
"AUX 1".
DIP #2 ON- AUX 2 Controls Low Speed of Filter 
Pump
Turn this switch ON if you want to control both 
speeds of a two-speed filter pump. With this switch 
on, the filter pump button on the AquaLink RS 
PDA will control high speed and the HOT KEY 2 
(default) button will control low speed. 
IMPORTANT 
You must also install a Jandy Two-
             Speed Relay.
DIP #3 ON- AUX 3 Controls Spa Spillover 
(Operates with Pool/Spa Combination)
Turn this switch ON, and when the AUX 3 button 
on the AquaLink RS PDA (or Spa Side Switch) is 
pressed, the Return Valve Actuator will rotate to 
spa cir cu la tion. Because the Intake Valve Actuator 
does not rotate, the spa will fill with water and 
overflow into the pool. 
NOTE  Leave AUX 3 relay socket empty.
  CAUTION
Turn this DIP Switch ON only if you are using 
an electric heater or a heat pump that does 
not retain residual heat. If you are turning this 
switch ON for service pur pos es, be sure to turn 
it back off.
DIP #4 ON- Heater Cool Down Disabled
Turn this switch ON to disable the heater cool 
down safety feature on the AquaLink RS. 
DIP #5 ON- Factory Use Only
This switch is used for calibration by Jandy 
certified technicians only.  Please leave this switch 
in the OFF po si tion.
DIP #6 ON - Pool/Spa Combination Systems Only
Change Spare AUX to activate when Filter Pump is 
on and system is in spa mode. Spare AUX socket is 
on the back side of the Power Center PCB.
DIP #7 ON- Not Used
Dip #8 ON- Heat Pump Instead of Gas Heater
Turn this switch ON if you have installed a heat 
pump instead of a gas heater. After thermostat 
setting has been reached, heater will remain OFF 
for 5 minutes.
