PERATION SYSTEMS

Programming the filter cycles

When a filter cycle begins, pump 1 will turn on high speed for one minute to purge the plumbing. After the
minute has elapsed, pump 1 will run on low speed for the duration of the cycle, filtering and pumping ozone
into the water.

- 200 S

Setting filter cycle duration

Press and hold Light key until the display shows dxx, with “xx” representing
the duration in hours. (default: 2 hours)
Use Up or Down key to change setting.
0 = no filtration
24 = continuous filtration
Note: it is not recommended to set this to “0”.

ERIES CONTROL

Filter cycle frequency

This function tells the electronic control center how many times a day you
would like it to run the filter duration. It essentially is multiplying the filter
duration by however many units of frequency that you choose. Example­duration=6, frequency=2, the spa will run two filter cycles, each having a
duration of six hours, for a total of twelve hours per 24 hour period. The
control center will not allow you to enter any combination equaling more
than 24 hours. To set the frequency:
Press Light key again. The display will show Fx, with “x” representing the
number of filter cycles per day (up to 4). (default twice a day)
Use Up or Down key to change setting.
When the desired setting is displayed, press Light key to confirm. A filter
cycle will start up immediately.

The “Filter” indicator light lights up when a filter cycle is on.

ERIES CONTROL

Water temperature regulation

In a regulation cycle, the system first gener­ates water flow through the heater housing and
the plumbing, in order to ensure accurate wa­ter temperature readings as well as avoiding
heater activation in dry conditions.
After verifying pump activation and taking a
water temperature reading, if required, the
system automatically turns the heater on to
reach and maintain water temperature at Set
Point.

The “Heater” indicator lights up when
the heater in on. It flashes when there is
a request for more heat but the heater has
not yet started.

Troubleshooting

Hr

An internal hardware error has been detected in in.xe.
Contact dealer or service supplier.

HL
The system has shut the heater down because the water temperature at the heater has
reached 119°F (48°C). Do not enter the water! Remove the spa cover and allow the water
to cool down, then shut power off and power your spa up again to reset the temperature.

Smart Winter Mode

Our Smart Winter Mode protects your system
from the cold by turning pumps on several times
a day to prevent water from freezing in pipes.

The “Smart Winter Mode” indicator
lights up when the Smart Winter Mode
is on.

Cooldown

While performing this task, the heater is not allowed
to turn on and its icon flashes.

AOH
Temperature inside the spa skirt is too high, causing the internal temperature in the
in.xe to increase above normal limits. Open skirt and wait until error clears.

FLO

The system does not detect any water flow while the primary pump is running. Check and
open water valves. Check for water level. Clean filter. If the problem persists, call dealer
or service supplier.

Prr

A problem is detected with the temperature probe. Call your dealer or service supplier.

OH

The water temperature in the spa has reached 108°F (42°C). Do not enter the water!
Remove the spa cover and allow the water to cool down to a lower temperature. Call
your dealer or service supplier if problem persists.

INTERVALS AND, IF NEEDED, TO CONTROL ALGAE GROWTH

ROMINE IS THE BEST-SUITED SANITIZER FOR SPA WATER
A SWIMMING POOL SANITIZER, THE HIGH TEMPERATURES AND AERATION OF A SPA GREATLY ACCELERATE
CHLORINE LOSS
WHICH IS A POOR DISINFECTANT THAT CAUSES OFFENSIVE ODORS AND OFTEN CAUSES EYE BURN
