8.1 Glossary of Safety Delays and Lockouts
Lockouts - Any device can be locked out. This will prevent the locked out device from being turned on, both manually and
through programming.
Pool/Spa Switching Filter Pump Delay - The fi lter pump turns off while valves rotate between pool and spa to prevent damage
to the pool equipment. The valves take 35 seconds to rotate between pool and spa; the fi lter pump will activate as soon as the
valves have fi nished turning.
Heater Cool Down Delay - When the system is heating (water is circulating to the spa) and the Spa button is pressed, the system
will remain in Spa Mode for fi ve minutes, and will continue to circulate the water. This delay allows water to cool the heater down
by circulating water through it, preventing equipment damage.
Heater Start-up - The heater will only come on if the water is circulating (e.g., fi lter pump is on and has been circulating for 15
seconds) to the corresponding body of water (e.g., spa for spa heater) and the actual water temperature is below the temperature
you set with TEMP SET in the Menu. If these conditions are not met, the heater will be enabled (ready to go), but will not fi re.
When the heater is enabled, the LED below the DOWN button on the OneTouch Control Panel will be green. When it is fi ring, the
LED will turn red.
Heater “Short Cycling” Prevention - When the heater is activated and the desired temperature is reached, heater will turn off and
remain off for 3 minutes, even if the temperature falls below the desired temperature. This feature prevents heater short cycling
(i.e., heater turning off and on in rapid succession).
Cleaner Lockout - The pool cleaner will only activate if the system is in pool mode (i.e., water circulating to pool). The pool
cleaner requires that water is circulating to the pool in order for it to operate. Return to pool mode to activate the cleaner.
Spillover Lockout - The spillover will only activate if the system is in pool mode (i.e., water circulating to pool). The spillover
requires that water is circulating to the pool in order for it to operate. Return to pool mode to activate the waterfall. Also, if the
pool cleaner is on, it will turn off during spillover operation.
Spillover - When Dip Switch 3 is in the ON position, the Aux. 3 relay socket is activated and the return valve actuator turns. The
spillover is disabled while the spa is on. A message is displayed when spillover is turned on while in spa mode (water cir cu la tion
is to spa). The spillover requires that water cir cu la tion is to pool in order to op er ate. The spillover will activate when the system
switches back to pool mode.
Enabled - When activated allows the function to work.
Disabled - When activated does not allow the function to work.
8.2 Glossary of Special Auxiliary Labels
Spare AUX- With DIP switch 6 turned OFF, the spare auxiliary socket is energized in "Pool Mode" and off in "Spa Mode". With
DIP switch ON, the spare Auxiliary socket is energized in the "Spa Mode" and off in the "Pool Mode". Operates only with Pool/
Spa combination units.
Extra AUX- System features (for example, light dimming, software labeling, and timed aux) can be assigned to the extra AUX
button. Only freeze protection cannot be assigned to the extra auxiliary.
Air Blower - When an AUX button labeled “Air Blower” is pressed, it will turn on the air blower for 30 minutes, then
automatically turn it off. An air blower may be programmed like any other auxiliary, except that you can program only the ON
time. The air blower will turn on at the programmed ON time, and turn off 30 minutes later. This is to protect the blower motor
from overheating during extended operation. To change the ON time from the default value of 30 minutes, refer to the DEVICE
RUNTIME feature.
Fill Line - When an AUX button labeled “Fill Line” is pressed, it will turn on the fi ll line for 30 minutes, and then automatically
turn it off. A fi ll line may be programmed like any other auxiliary, except that you can program only the ON time. The fi ll line will
turn on at the programmed ON time, and turn off 30 minutes later. This is to avoid overfi lling the pool. Choose the appropriate
number of "fi ll" programs during the week to keep your pool at the appropriate level. To change the ON time from the default
value of 30 minutes, refer to the DEVICE RUNTIME feature.
