Pump
Key
The Pump key is used to turn the pump on or off at selected
speeds. If the pump is a single speed pump, the Pump key is
used to turn it on and off. If the pump is a two speed pump,
the first press will turn on the pump high speed, the second
press will change the pump to low speed, the third press will
turn the pump off or return to a heat or filtration mode (see
note). A built-in timer will shut the pump off 20 minutes after
it has been started unless the user does so manually. When the
pump is on, the Pump On Indicator will appear above the Pump
Key. NOTE: You may not be able to turn the pump off if it has
started an internal heat or filtration cycle. This is easily
identified by observing the status of the "Heater On Indicator"
or the "Filter Mode Indicator".
Light
Key
The Light key is used to turn light on or off. The first press
of the Light key will turn the light on. A second press will
turn the light off. The light will automatically turn itself
off after 2 hours. When the light is on the Light On Indicator
will appear above the Light Key.
Programming
Filter Cycles
You may choose to filter your spa 1, 2, or 3 times daily as
required to maintain clean, sanitary water.
At the same time, press and release both the Pump Key and the
Up Arrow Key. The current setting for filtration cycle frequency
will be displayed.
Do nothing and the control will revert to the monitoring mode,
OR, to change the frequency, press the Up or Down Arrow Key
To save the setting, at the same time, press and release the
Pump and Up Arrow Key. The cycles will repeat every 24, 12,
or 8 hours within a 24 hour period, starting from the time programmed.
It is recommended that the system is powered up at a time when
the programmed cycles do not interfere with sleeping hours.
Programming Cycle Duration
You may choose to filter your spa 60, 120 or 180 minutes per
cycle as required to maintain clean, sanitary water.
At the same time, press and release both the Light Key and the
Up Arrow Key. The current setting for filtration cycle duration
will be displayed (60,120,180).
Do nothing and the control will revert to the monitoring mode,
OR, to change the frequency, press the Up or Down Arrow Key.
To save the setting, at the same time, press and release the
Light Key and Up Arrow Key.
Important
Notes
(1) If a program change is not made within 5 seconds, the system
will default back to the monitoring mode.
(2) While programming, the Pump and Light features may have
been activated. Either can be turned off in the normal way after
programming is complete.
The display will return to indicate water temperature 5 seconds
after the keys are released.
Temperature
Set Keys
The Up/Down Temperature Set Keys are used to set the desired
water temperature. Press the Up or Down keys to increase (or
decrease) the desired temperature setting. The temperature can
be adjusted in 1ºF increments from 41ºF to 104ºF (or 5ºC to
40ºC.). The desired temperature setting will remain in the display
for 5 seconds as confirmation of the new value, after 5 seconds
the display will return to display the present water temperature.
Heater
Operation
When the water temperature drops 1ºF lower than the desired
temperature, the heater will be turned on until the water temperature
reaches the desired temperature plus 1ºF. The Heater On Indicator
will appear on the function panel when it is on. The Heater
On Light Indicator will blink on the function panel whenever
there is a call for heat and the heater has not yet been powered.
Freeze
Protection
If the water temperature falls below 40ºF, the system will start
a special process to circulate the water in the pipes. Pump
and heater will be turned on for one minute. The message FrE
will be displayed throughout the special cycle. During this
cycle all other functions of the unit (except the alarms) are
disabled.
High
Temperature Protection
If the water temperature exceeds 115ºF at the High Temperature
probe, the system will display the message HL and will turn
the heater off. If the water temperature exceeds 122ºF at the
High Temperature probe, the high limit circuit will turn off
all outputs. In either case, after the water temperature has
cooled down, pressing any key on the spaside panel control will
restart the system.
If the spa water temperature does not seem to be elevated, the
HL reading may have been caused by poor water flow or electrical
line interference (e.g. thunderstorms, voltage surges, etc.).
Simply reset and monitor the system.
NOTE: After the unit cools down below 115ºF, the Freeze Protection
Circuit can automatically engage if needed.

Default
System Operations
When power is applied, or there is a temporary loss of power,
the system will initiate its default programming. The filter
cycle starts 24 hours after the system has been powered up,
filters one hour, and then repeats every 24 hours. The maintained
temperature will default to 95ºF. The freeze protection feature
will stay in effect.
