Coast Spas

The spa monitor window is a graphical interface that
allows visualization at a distance of actual water tempera­ture, the time of day and to easily monitor the state of
the pumps and light. When you activate any pump or the
light, its respective icon (displayed on the lower part of the
screen) becomes animated. Furthermore, information
messages may scroll on the Monitor Window to indicate a
spa function or condition such as:

• Heating

• Filtering

• Filtering suspended

• Economy

• Freeze condition-Pumps activated

• Low battery

• Problem detected-Call for service

• Call for maintenace

Reception Bar

Because it's possible to monitor spa status at a distance, the
icon lets you know the quality of the signal reception
(the waves on the icon become animated on data recep­tion). Thus 3 full bars indicate optimal reception while
missing bars indicate a lost of signal. Please note that in
order to control any device you must align the remote in
front of the spa receptor.

STATUS WINDOW

Status LED

The Status LED monitors spa system and warns when
service is required. This red light (see page 9) informs
users if the remote's batteries are low (in which case the
low battery icon will also appear) or if a problem has been
detected and the spa should be checked before entering
its water. The status LED indicates conditions such as:

• Communication lost (out of range signal)

• Battery low

• Power outage

• Spa problem detected-Call for Service
