2.7 Connecting an iAquaLink
Some appliances are compatible with the iAquaLink™ protocol and can therefore have a two‐way exchange with
the AquaLink TRi®, allowing to retrieve functionalities and settings on AquaLink TRi® user interface.
These compatible appliances will be supplied both by an external power supply and connected to the iAquaLink™
"RS485" connector on the AquaLink TRi® electronic card.
iAquaLink™ compatible appliances are:
- Zodiac TRi® salt water chlorinator (with or without the TRi pH or TRi PRO module)
- Pentair® variable speed pumps of the "VS" type (speed management)
If more than 2 iAquaLink™ protocol compatible appliances are to be connected to the "RS485" connector
(including the iAquaLink™ antenna‐box), use a multiplexed interface board available as an accessory (not
included, see §5.2).
the appliance must have a protected, independent and permanent power supply.
For the TRi® salt water chlorinator other connections are possible, see §3.5.12.
With the appliance powered off, connect it (see the appliance instructions for connection and synchronisation)
to the AquaLink TRi® RS485 terminal block using an "RS485" cable (use the remainder of the iAquaLink™
antenna‐box cable if you did not use it all, or buy one as an accessory),
Only use "RS485" cable supplied by Zodiac® to connect an iAquaLink™ compatible appliance to the
AquaLink TRi® (available as an accessory, see §5.2).
the iAquaLink™ compatible appliance must not use its own operating time slots (or Timers) because the
AquaLink TRi® will directly manage the programming.
The procedure described above is valid for the TRi® salt water chlorinator.
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for all other iAquaLink™ compatible equipment.
