Important information about spa operation can be seen quickly from the Main Screen.
Navigating the entire menu structure is done with the 5 buttons on the control panel.
The Spa Screen shows all available equipment to control, as well as other features.
The Shortcut Screen requires no navigation. Each button is fixed on a specific function.
When instructions are given to “press a button
The Settings Screen is where all programming and other spa behaviors are controlled.
If an Up or Down button is pressed and held when an item in a Menu List is highlighted, the list can be scrolled quickly.
This system incorporates two temperature range settings with independent set temperatures.
In order for the spa to heat, a pump needs to circulate water through the heater.
Fill the spa to its correct operating level. Be sure to open all valves and jets.
After the initial start-up sequence, the control will enter Priming Mode and display a Priming Mode screen.
As soon as the Priming Mode screeen appears on the panel, select the 'Jets 1' button once to start Pump 1.
You can manually exit Priming Mode by navigating to the “Back
On the Spa Screen, select a “Jets” button once to turn the pump on or off, and to shift between low- and high-speeds.
If the system is equipped with a circ pump, it will be configured to work in one of three different ways.
On non-circ systems, Pump 1 low and the ozone generator will run during filtration.
If the temperature sensors within the heater detect a low enough temperature, then the water devices automatically activate to provide freeze protection.
Setting the time-of-day is important for determining filtration times and other background features.
The Time-of-Day screen is a simple, editable screen that illustrates a feature of the control that applies to all other editable screens.
Using the same navigation and adjustment as Setting the Time, Filter Cycles are set using a start time and a duration.
Filter Cycle 2 is OFF by default. Simply navigate to the Filter Cycle 2 line by pressing the Right Navigation Button.
In order to maintain sanitary conditions, as well as protect against freezing, secondary water devices will purge water.
If Light Cycle does not appear in the Settings Menu, the Light Timer feature is not enabled.
Selecting Invert Panel will flip the display and the buttons so the panel can be easily operated from inside or outside the hot tub.
If the panel has dedicated function buttons (TP800) or the spa has an Auxiliary Panel(s) installed, pressing those buttons will activate the device.
Locking the Panel prevents the controller from being used, but all automatic functions are still active.
Locking the Settings allows Jets and other features to be used, but the Set Temperature and other programmed settings cannot be adjusted.
Settings Lock allows access to a reduced selection of menu items. They can be seen, but not changed or edited.
An Unlock Sequence using the navigation buttons can be used from the Lock Screen.
Hold Mode is used to disable the pumps during service functions like cleaning or replacing the filter.
Some spas have a special feature that allows Pump 1 to be employed when draining the water.
The Utilities Menu contains the following: A/B Temps, Demo Mode, Fault Log, GFCI Test.
The Fault Log is a record of the last 24 faults that can be reviewed by a service tech.
GFCI Test is not always enabled, so it may not appear. This screen allows the GFCI to be tested manually.
The Preferences Menu allows the user to change certain parameters based on personal preference.
Change the temperature between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Change the clock between 12 hr and 24 hr display.
Turn the reminder messages (like “Clean Filter”) On or Off.
The System Information Menu displays various settings and identification of the particular system.
Displays the software ID number for the System.
Displays the Model Number of the System.
Displays the operating voltage configured for the heater. (Feature not used on CE rated systems.)
Your spa may be equipped with a GFCI Protection feature. If your spa has this feature enabled, the GFCI Trip Test must occur.
CE registered systems do not have an RCD Test Feature due to the nature of the electrical service.
After the pump has been running for 1 minute, the temperature will be displayed.
A potential freeze condition has been detected, or the Aux Freeze Switch has closed. All water devices are activated.
The system has detected a spa water temp of 110°F (43.3°C) or more, and spa functions are disabled.
There may not be enough water flow through the heater to carry the heat away from the heating element.
There is not enough water flow through the heater to carry the heat away from the heating element and the heater has been disabled.
There is not enough water in the heater to start it. The spa is shut down.
One of the water temp sensors has detected 118°f (47.8°C) in the heater and the spa is shut down.
Check for low water level, suction flow restrictions, closed valves, trapped air, too many closed jets and pump prime.
The temperature sensors MAY be out of sync by 2°F or 3°F. Call for Service.
