It is required by code to install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in the
supply power for a spa. This device will trip the breaker if there is an unsafe
electrical condition caused by a malfunctioning component or even the slightest
short to ground.

Note: Connect the control system only to a circuit protected by a Class A GFCI
mounted at least 5’ (1.52M) from the inside walls of the spa/hot tub and in line of
sight from the equipment compartment.

Refer to NEC (National Electrical Code), 2005 Edition, Article 680 for more
information.

Dual Temperature Ranges

The BP500 system incorporates two temperature range settings that allows an
independent set temperature within each range. The High Range is designated
in the display by an “up” arrow, and the Low Range is designated in the display
by a “down” arrow.

These ranges can be used for various reasons, with a common use being a
“ready to use” setting vs. a “vacation” setting. Each range maintains its own set
temperature as programmed by the user. This way, when a range is chosen, the
spa will heat to the set temperature associated with that range.

t High Range can be set between 80°F and 104°F.

t Low Range can be set between 50°F and 99°F.

The water temperature display will show

whether the system is in High or Low Range.

Mode -- Ready and Rest

In order for the spa to heat, a pump needs to circulate water through the
heater. The pump that performs this function is known as the “heater pump.”

The heater pump can be either a 2-Speed Pump 1 or a circulation pump.

2-Speed Pump 1

If the heater pump is a 2-Speed Pump 1, READY Mode will circulate water
every 1/2 hour, using Pump 1 Low, in order to maintain a constant water
temperature, heat as needed, and refresh the temperature display. This is
known as “polling.”

REST Mode will only allow heating during programmed filter cycles. Since
polling does not occur, the temperature display may not show a current
temperature until the heater pump has been running for a minute or two.

24 Hour Circulation Mode

If the spa is configured for 24HR circulation, the heater pump generally runs
continuously. Since the heater pump is always running, the spa will maintain set
temperature and heat as needed in Ready Mode, without polling.

In Rest Mode, the spa will only heat to set temperature during programmed
filter times, even though the water is being filtered constantly when in
Circulation Mode.

Mode -- Ready and Rest (cont.)

Ready Mode

READY Mode will allow the spa to t Poll and determine a need for heat. The
panel will maintain a “current” temperature display.

Rest Mode

After one hour...

Rest Mode: The Screen will display RUN PUMP FOR TEMP if the
filtration pump has not run for over 1 hour.

REST Mode will not Poll and will only heat during filter cycles. The panel will t
not display a current temperature at all times.

The Main Screen will display normally during Filter Cycles or when the spa is t
in use.

If the t filtration pump has been off for an hour or more, and when any function
button (except Light) is pressed on the panel, the pump used in conjunction
with the heater will run so that the temperature can be sensed and displayed.

Ready-in-Rest Mode Appears in the Display

READY/REST appears in the display if the spa is in Rest Mode and Jet 1
is pressed. It is assumed that the spa is being used and will heat to set
temperature. While Pump 1 High can be turned on and off, Pump 1 Low will run
until set temperature is reached, or 1 hour has passed. After 1 hour, the System
will revert to Rest Mode. This mode can also be reset by entering the Mode
Menu and changing the Mode.

Filtration and Ozone

On non-circ systems, Pump 1 low and the ozone generator will run during
filtration. On circ systems, the ozone will run with the circ pump.

The system is factory-programmed with one filter cycle that will run in the
evening (assuming the time-of-day is properly set) when energy rates are often
lower. The filter time and duration are programmable. A second filter cycle can
be enabled as needed.

At the start of each filter cycle, the blower (if there is one) or Pump 2 (if there is
one) will run briefly to purge its plumbing to maintain good water quality.

Circulation Pump Modes

If the system is equipped with a circ pump, it may be configured to work in one
of three different ways:

The circ pump operates continuously (24 hours) with the exception of turning t
off for 30 minutes at a time when the water temperature reaches 3°F (1.5°C)
above the set temperature (most likely to happen in very hot climates).

The t circ pump stays on continuously, regardless of water temperature.

A t programmable circ pump will come on when the system is checking
temperature (polling), during filter cycles, during freeze conditions, or when
another pump is on.

Transforming the Control of Hot Tubs

BP500

Freeze Protection

If the temperature sensors within the heater detect a low enough temperature,
then the pump(s) and the blower automatically activate to provide freeze
protection. The pump(s) and blower will run either continuously or periodically
depending on conditions.

In colder climates, an optional additional freeze sensor may be added to protect
against freeze conditions that may not be sensed by the standard sensors.
Auxiliary freeze sensor protection acts similarly except with the temperature
thresholds determined by the switch. See your dealer for details.

Clean-up Cycle (optional)

When a pump or blower is turned on by a button press, a clean-up cycle begins
30 minutes after the pump or blower is turned off or times out. The pump and
the ozone generator will run for 30 minutes or more, depending on the system.
On some systems, you can change this setting.

System Default Operation Settings

PUMPS

Press the “Jets 1” button once to turn pump 1 on or off, and to shift between low
and high speeds if equipped.

If left running, the pump will turn off after a time-out period.

The pump 1 low speed will time out after t 30 minutes.

The high speed will time out after t 15 minutes.

On non-circ systems, the low speed of pump 1 runs when the blower or any other
pump is on.

TIP

If the spa is in t Ready Mode, Pump 1 low may turn on for at least 1 minute
every 30 minutes to detect the spa temperature (polling) and then to heat to
the set temperature if needed.

When the low speed turns on automatically, it cannot be deactivated t
from the panel; however, the high speed may be started by pressing the
“Jets” button.

Adjusting Filtration

FILT1: Main Filtration

Filter cycles are set using a start time and a duration. Start time is indicated by
an “A” or “P” in the bottom right corner of the display. Duration has no “A” or
“P” indication. Each setting can be adjusted in 15-minute increments. The panel
calculates the end time and displays it automatically.

FILT2, Filter Cycle 2: Optional Filtration

Filter Cycle 2 is OFF by default.

It is possible to overlap Filter Cycle 1 and Filter Cycle 2, which will shorten overall
filtration by the overlap amount.

Purge Cycles

In order to maintain sanitary conditions, secondary Pumps and/or a Blower t
will purge water from their respective plumbing by running briefly at the
beginning of each filter cycle.

If Filter Cycle 1 is set for 24 hours, enabling Filter Cycle 2 will initiate a purge t
when Filter Cycle 2 is programmed to begin.

Pump Purge default time is 60 seconds.

Blower Purge default time is 30 seconds.

The following pages describe how to set up filtration times.

Glossary

Circ Pump (or circulation pump)

Low horse power pump designated especially for maintenance of filtration and
heating. It often runs all day.

Clean-up (or purge) Cycle

An action designed to circulate water to maintain sanitary conditions. Pumps or
blowers purge standing water to prevent the water from becoming stagnant.

Filtration Cycle

Period of time designated to filter the system. Oftentimes there are two filter
cycles, 12 hours apart, and designated as F1 and F2.

Freeze Protection

A safety feature detecting water or air temperature approaching freezing. Once
a set low temperature is reached, an action is often initiated automatically.
Oftentimes pumps will start to keep water circulating in all plumbing and the
heater may operate.

Priming Mode

Act of water flow through the plumbing to purge air from the spa system.

Normally, priming mode can be bypassed. The priming mode is necessary only
if the spa is refilled and if there’s the possibility of air being in the system.

What Priming Mode does:

Each time the spa is powered up, it will enter Priming Mode. The purpose
of Priming Mode is to allow the user to run each pump and manually verify
that the pumps are primed (air is purged) and water is flowing. This typically
requires observing the output of each pump separately, and is generally not
possible in normal operation. Priming Mode lasts 4 minutes, but you can exit
it earlier by pressing any Temp button. The heater is not allowed to run during
Priming Mode. NOTE: If your spa has a Circ Pump, it will turn on with Jets 1 in
Priming Mode. The Circ Pump will run by itself when Priming Mode is exited.
