When Mounting the System

The design and technology behind the Revolution allows it to be used in most
any application, and can be mounted on the suction side or discharge side of
the pump.

TIP

To improve reliability, take steps to minimize vibration from the pump(s) that
could be transmitted to the Revolution.

Use rubber isolation pads under the pumps and flexible PVC between the t
filtration pump and the heater to help minimize vibration.

t Mount the system with the heater horizontal and as low as possible in the

equipment compartment.

To avoid any potential for water to drip directly on the system, do not mount t
the system directly under the control panel mounting location. Allow a drip­loop in the control panel wiring to keep any water that may travel down the
wire from wicking onto the system box.

Do not mount upside down. t

Firmly attach mounting holes on each
side of the system box with the screws
and washers provided.

Topside Panel Installation (cont.)

The topside panel is specifically designed to withstand the harsh spa
environment and is intended to be mounted in a location on, or close to the spa,
in order to provide the spa user with the greatest convenience when controlling
the spa equipment.

Cut a mounting hole as shown. (A more detailed view is shown on the 1.
following page.)

Fit the topside panel into the hole to make sure the hole is the proper size 2.
before proceeding.

Remove all dust and particles from the mounting surface around the hole. A 3.
clean smooth surface that is dry and oil free is required for the adhesive on
the back of the panel to attain a good bond.

Remove the paper backing from the adhesive on the rear of the panel. All of 4.
the adhesive should be exposed.

Route the connecting cable through the opening and place the topside 5.
panel into the opening. Align the panel and press firmly onto the mounting
surface. Route the cable to the control system.

Remove the top cover to the control system, and remove the cable retaining 6.
clamp.

Plug the 7. cable connector into the connector labeled J33. Replace the
connector clamp and secure the screw.

Preparing the Spa

Preparing refers to:

t Filling the spa

Priming the spat

Fill the spa

Fill the spa to its correct operating level. Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

TIP

Be sure to open all valves in the plumbing system before filling to allow as
much air as possible to escape from the plumbing and the control system
during the filling process.

Power-up the Spa

Each time the system powers up, a series of numbers is displayed as the system
runs a self diagnostic check. This is normal, and lasts for about 10 seconds.
Refrain from pressing any panel buttons during this time.

Manufactured under one or more of these patents. U.S. Patents: 5332944, 5361215, 5550753, 5559720, 5,883,459, 6253227, 6282370, 6590188, 6976052, 6965815, 7030343, 7,417,

POWER DOWN THE SPA. DO NOT ENTER THE WATER. Contact your
dealer or service organization.

This fault can be reset by powering up in Test Mode.

WARNING:

HOT FALT indicates a serious condition and should not be treated lightly. The
spa probably had a pump stuck in the ON position and could not be turned
off, thereby overheating the water. The system tripped the GFCI to avoid
additional heating.

NOTE: The GFCI Trip Feature must be enabled for this safety feature to function.
The system should be monitored carefully and the main circuit board may need
to be replaced.

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.

Glossary (cont.)

GFCI

A device intended to protect people in the event of an electrical malfunction.
Spa owners should know how to test the GFCI as routine maintenance.

Preferences

Programmed events according to personal preferences.

SSID

Software Self Identification (or, System Panel ID)

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.

Programming

Setting an order and time for planned events, such as filter times, clean-up
cycle, etc.

Electrical Protection

Local Disconnect 1.
A local disconnect (sometimes referred to as an “electrical disconnect”) is
installed apart from the main service panel. The local disconnect must be
installed where readily accessible and within sight of the spa, but at least 5’
(1.5 meters) from the inside wall of the spa.

GFCI 2.
It is required by code to install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in
the supply power for a spa.

NOTE: A GFCI power cord is included with a 120VAC spa. This can be used for a
cord-connected 120V setup only, and only in place of a stand-alone GFCI.

Safety and Electrical Systems

Use minimum t 6AWG copper conductors only.

Torque field connections between 21 and 23 in-lbs.t

Connect only to a circuit protected by a t Class A Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) CSA enclosure: Type 2.

The Revolution is classified as a “continuous duty appliance” and is t
intended primarily for installation at a single family dwelling. The installation
recommendations and instructions contained in this manual are directed
solely toward these issues.

General Spa Design Guidelines

System Orientations Supported

The Revolution supports two basic circulation configurations. When installing the
Revolution, keep in mind the following characteristics that each system has. It will help
in determining where to place and how to configure the Revolution. Follow these
guidelines.

Two Circulation Systems

t Non-circ System: A non-circ system uses a 2-speed pump to heat and filter

the spa.

t Circ System: A circ system uses a dedicated 1-speed pump to heat and filter

the spa. The circ pump motor must not exceed 2 amps.

Also, keep in mind that:

Spa Guidelines to Keep in Mind

Whether replacing an older control system, or if designing a new spa system,
keep these guidelines in mind.

The suction system for the 2-speed pump or for the circ pump must 1.
be dedicated. There must not be any other pumps connected to this
suction system.

The suction system for the 2-speed pump or for the circ pump must include 2.
the following:
a. 2 suction fittings, or
b. 1 suction fitting and a skimmer.

If the suction system for the 2-speed pump or for the circ pump includes 3.
a filter, it is desirable that the filter incorporate a by-pass around the
filter cartridge that opens when the cartridge gets dirty. (Spring tension
holding the by-pass valve closed must be overcome by the vacuum of the
pump.) This by-pass should be capable of flowing a minimum of 20 GPM
during the low speed operation of the 2-speed pump or during circ pump
operation with the cartridge 100% blocked. The inclusion of a suction fitting
appropriately plumbed into the suction circuit in conjunction with a vacuum
filter may also meet this requirement.

The pressure system for the 2-speed pump or for the circ pump must 4.
be dedicated. There must not be any other pumps connected to this
pressure system.

Revolution

The pressure system for the 2-speed pump or for the circ pump must 5.
discharge water freely into the spa.

If the pressure system for the 2-speed pump includes a diverter valve, or a 6.
diverter jet, there must not be an “off” position that would stop water flow
from the pump or any other position that would throttle or reduce water flow
from the pump.

If the pressure system for the 2-speed pump includes flow adjustable jets 7.
that can be 100% closed, at least 2 non-adjustable jets must be included in
each possible inlet circuit so that a minimum of 20 GPM can flow during low
pump operation with all the jets closed. Any other means of by-passing flow
around the closed jets is acceptable as long as the by-pass means is down
stream from the heater and allows a minimum of 20 GPM to flow through the
heater during low speed operation.

If the pressure system for the 2-speed pump includes flow adjustable 8.
jets that do not close 100%, at least 20 GPM must flow during low speed
operation through each possible inlet circuit with all the jets closed.

If the pressure system for a 2-speed pump or for a circ pump includes a filter, 9.
the filter must be equipped with a by-pass around the cartridge that opens
when the cartridge gets dirty. (Spring tension holding the by-pass valve
closed must be overcome by the pressure of the pump.) This by-pass must
be capable of flowing a minimum of 20 GPM during low pump operation
with the cartridge 100% blocked.

If the pressure system for a 2-speed pump or for a circ pump includes branch 10.
circulation lines such as circuits intended to operate ozone injection systems,
these branch circulation lines must be connected downstream from the
heater.

Avoid inter-connection of the plumbing circuits for the 2-speed pump or for 11.
the circ pump with other pumps in the spa plumbing system for the purpose
of freeze protection. The Revolution control system will provide freeze
protection. There is also provision for remote sensing freeze protection
if required.

Position inlets and jets in the spa so that they do not direct water flow 12.
towards suction fittings or skimmers. This will avoid a “thermal short circuit”
and prevent excessive heater and pump cycling.

If service valves are a part of the circulation system for the 2-speed pump 13.
or for the circ pump, be sure to use valves that incorporate a means of
“locking” in the open position.

If the 2-speed pump or the circ pump is replaced in the field by service 14.
personnel, the replacement used must equal or exceed the hydraulic
specifications of the original pump.

To assure adequate performance, the spa plumbing must be 11⁄2” minimum. 15.
The use of 2” is highly recommended. Either schedule 40 or flexible PVC
pipe is acceptable.

It is recommended that 16. shut-off valves be installed in the suction and
discharge lines.

Transforming the Control of Hot Tubs

Revolution

Pressure and Suction Side Mounting

The Revolution can be used in most any application. If installing in a newly t
built spa system, study the diagrams in order to plan the location of the
Revolution. Also, keep in mind that:

The heater requires at least 20 Gallons Per Minute (GPM) of flow for t
proper function.

Some systems may require at least 25 GPM.t

Pressure-Side System:t
A pressure side heater system is a heater that is located on the discharge
side of the pump.

Vacuum-Side System:t
A vacuum side heater system is a heater that is located on the suction side of
the pump.

Revolution

Mounting

Revolution technology allows mounting flexibility. The Revolution can be t
mounted on either the suction or pressure (discharge) side of the pump.
However, it must be mounted on a flat surface parallel to the ground.

To improve reliability, take steps to t minimize vibration from the pump(s) that
could be transmitted to the Revolution.

Use t rubber isolation pads under the pumps and flexible PVC between the
filtration pump and the heater to help minimize vibration.

Mount the system with the heater horizontal and as low as possible in the t
equipment compartment.

To avoid any potential for water to drip directly on the system, do not mount t
the system directly under the control panel mounting location.

Allow a t drip-loop in the control panel wires to keep any water that may travel
down the wire from wicking onto the system box.

The Revolution can not be mounted upside down. The Revolution is not to t
be mounted sideways. The Revolution is only to be mounted upright on a
flat horizontal surface.

Suction-Side System Mounting

When mounting the system on the suction (vacuum) side of the pump, care t
must be taken to mount the system in such a way that it is aligned with
the suction port on the pump wet-end. The suction-side mounting can
generally be done much lower in the system, making it easier to keep proper
water flow in the heater at all times. The system should be mounted with
appropriate fasteners.

Note: t When employing suction-side mounting, the system may need to be
placed on a spacer block so that it complies with UL height requirements for
electrically live components, in the same manner as a pump motor.
