Basic safety precautions should always be followed when operating and servicing this electrical equipment.

WARNING

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

SAFETY FEATURES

HEATER PROTECTION

A built-in electronic delay c~rcuit autorr~atically runs the f~lter pump for an additional four minutes whenever the system is turned off. This feature enables the heater to cool down, so that the heat exchanger and plumbing are not damaged from overheating. For testing and servicing purposes, it is possible to override this delay circuit by pushing the DELAY CANCEL

Button at the CP-2000 Controller.

POOL CLEANER PROTECTION

If your system incorporates an automatic pool cleaner, it will have been plumbed in conjunction with the filter pump so that it must have water circulation in order to operate. The CP-2000 incorporates the following protection features against possible pump damage if there is no water circulation:

Your pool cleaner will automatically be switched off whenever water is being circulated to the Spa.

The filter pump will automatically be activated whenever the pool cleaner is running. even if the filter pump has not been switched on.

Additionally, whenever the pool cleaner is turned on: a built-in electronic delay circuit will prevent it from running until 4 minutes have passed. This protects the pump from possible damage caused by air which may have entered the plumbing since the system was last used. For testing and servicing purposes, it is possible to override this delay circuit by pushing the DELAY CANCEL Button at the CP-2000 Controller.

4. If your system incorporates solar, the pool cleaner will automatically be disabled for a period of cleaner from possible damage caused by residual air within the solar panels.
