1.9.b Operating Heat Pump (With an External Controller)

If the display indicates the unit is under remote control, an external control device has been configured to
control the heat pump. See the external control device manual. Or contact installer or manufacturer of that
device.

PLEASE NOTE:

When using a SMART external control device, the time-out and service modes will
deactivate the Heat Pump.

1.9.c Operating Heat Pump (With an External Flow Switch)

When an external flow switch has been installed and enabled, the heat pump will automatically switch from
pool to spa temperature settings when there is flow through the external flow switch. The "Pool/Spa" button
will be disabled when this device is configured in the system.

Confirm with the installer if an external flow switch has been installed on the system.

1.9.d Operating Multiple Connected Heat Pumps

Each heat pump will indicate whether it is a primary or secondary unit on the display. Changes in mode and
operation are made on the primary heat pump only.

l

The primary heat pump will automatically start and stop the secondary heat pumps in a timed and controlled
sequence.
