DIP Settings - what do they mean?

[davidlsantos]

I was investigating an issue with my pool equipment and one area I was checking out was the DIP settings on my my Jandy Aqualink RS with PDA. I also have a Jandy SWG, Jandy ePump, and solar heat. All the DIPs are in the default (off) state except 2 and 5. The enclosure says 5 should be in the off position during normal operation per the attached pic so I'm not sure why it's on. This system came with the house I purchased so I don't have the history on why it's set this way. Ideas?



Thanks in advance,
Dave

David,

Welcome to TFP... A Great Resource for all pool owners with DIP issues...

DIP switch 5 allows you to turn off delays.. as an example: if you are running your heater and turn off your pump.. the automated system may "delay" your pump turning off until the heater has had a chance to cool down.

I see no reason for you not to return switch 5 to its off or default position.

Switch #2 is on when you have a two speed pump. So in theory, if you select Aux 2 it should turn on the low speed for the pump.

Thanks for posting,

Jim R.

Thanks for the info Jim. Given your input, it looks like all switches should be in the off position. I have a VS pump so DIP 2 doesn't sound like it should be on. I'll set them all to default and ensure everything is working fine.
