Feature Macro Circuits Overview

Feature Macro Circuits can control equipment that is not controlled byAUX circuits. In general, AUX circuits are used for high voltage equipment like pumps and lights, whereas Feature Macro Circuits are used for low voltage equipment like valve actuators. However, Feature Macro Circuits can go beyond this definition, and be used in other creative ways. For example, a Feature Macro Circuit can be used to create a Macro circuit in which several other circuits can be switched on or off with the same button. There is a limit of 10 Feature Macro circuits in the system. Feature Macros are not available with i5 or i5S systems.

•Valve Actuators - Feature Macro Circuits may be assigned for controlling up to five valve actuators per Load Center. To control a total of five actuators requires the installation of the optional Valve Module (P/N 520285) which includes three additional actuators outputs (C, D, and E) per Load Center. For more information about configuring valve actuators, refer to page 45.

Note: When using solar heat, note that for shared equipment pool and spa combination, valve A is always used for solar. For dual body dual equipment, valve A is always the pool and valve B is always the spa.

•Two-Speed Pump - A Feature Circuit may be assigned as a way to switch a two-speed Filter Pump from high speed to low speed.

•Spa Spillway - A Feature Circuit may be assigned to activate the Spa Spillway effect, where in a pool/spa combination, pool water is diverted to the spa then spilled back into the pool.

Note: For details on setting up Feature Circuits, see “Creating a Feature Circuit Macro,” page 41.

Freeze Protection

Freeze protection switches on a circuit if the outdoor air temperature sensor detects the temperature is getting close to freezing (below 36° F). The system cycles through all circuits that have been assigned freeze protection, and runs the circuits for 15 minutes to stop the pipes from freezing. This is especially important if there is a pool and spa combination. If freeze protection is set to both the spa and pool circuits, the filter pump switches on and the pool and spa valves alternate every 15 minutes to keep the water moving in both the pool and spa. This process continues until the freeze condition is over.
