Light
Some systems are equipped with both a spa light and a
fiber optic light; however, only one can be accessed by this
panel. (Larger panels may be purchased so that both the
spa light and fiber optic light can be utilized.) Depending
upon how your spa is equipped and configured, the
“Light” button will operate in one of three ways:
1) Press the “Light” button to turn the spa light on and
off, and to shift between dim and bright settings if your
light is dimmable.
2) If a fiber-optic light with wheel is installed, press the
“Light” button once to start the light and wheel, press
it again to stop the wheel, and then again to turn the
light off.
3) If a fiber-optic light without a separate wheel stop is
installed, press the “Light” button to turn it on and off.
Again, both a spa light and a fiber optic light may be
used simultaneously on the EL8000 and EL5000 systems
with a different panel.
If any light is left on, it will automatically turn off after a
factory programmed time period.
Ozone
(optional)
On most systems, the ozone generator (if installed) runs
during filter cycles (except when pump 1 is operating at
high speed on a non-circ system) and during clean-up
cycles. On some systems, the ozone generator operates
whenever the pump runs.
If your system is configured with the optional ozone
suppress feature, the ozone generator will turn off for
1 hour any time a function button (Jets, Jets 2, Blower,
etc.) is pressed.
Clean-up Cycle
(optional)
When a pump or blower is turned on by a button
press, a clean-up cycle begins 30 minutes after the
pump or blower is turned off or times out. The pump
and the ozone generator will run for one to four hours,
depending on the system (on some systems, you can
change this setting; see User Preferences section.)
Freeze Protection
If the temperature sensors within the heater detect a low
enough temperature, then the pump(s) and the blower
automatically activate to provide freeze protection. The
pump(s) and blower will run either continuously or
periodically depending on conditions.
In colder climates, an optional additional freeze sensor
may be added to protect against freeze conditions that
may not be sensed by the standard sensors. Auxiliary
freeze sensor protection acts similarly except with the
temperature thresholds determined by the switch. See
your dealer for details.
Locking Features
If this panel is used as the main panel, locking features
will not be available.
If this panel is used as a remote or additional panel, it
will lock when the main panel is locked. To unlock this
panel, unlock the main panel.
In the same way, the set temperature can be locked and
unlocked by a main panel. When the set temperature is
locked, it cannot be changed from either panel.
Preset Filter Cycles
On all systems, the pump and the ozone generator will
run during filtration. At the start of each filter cycle, the
blower will run briefly on its highest speed to purge the
air channels. The lowest speed of any other pumps and
the mister will also run briefly. On some circ systems,
pump 1 may also run for the duration of the filter.
(Note: This panel cannot be used to program filter
cycles for systems that are programmed by time
rather than by duration. For these systems, a larger
panel is needed and the following description does
not apply.)
The first filter cycle (“day”) begins 6 minutes after the
spa is powered up. The second filter cycle (“night”)
begins 12 hours later. Filter duration is programmable
for 1-12 hours (“
”-“
”). The default filter duration
can vary from system to system. To program, press
“Temp” then “Jets.” Press “Temp” to select the filter
duration. Press “Jets” to select the number of filter cycles.
The display will show “
” (both “day” and “night”
cycles); “ ” (day cycle only); or “ ” (“night” cycle only).
Press “Temp” to adjust, then press “Jets” to exit the
programming mode. For continuous filtration, use “
”
and “
”.
Displaying Information About Your Spa
There are several pieces of information about your
spa that can be called up from the panel, but are only
needed in special cases.
To access this information, press “Temp” then “Jets”, then
“Light”. (Each press must be within 3 seconds of the
previous press.) Then press “Temp” until you see “
”
on the display. Press “Jets” to see the SSID (a series
of 3 numbers, such as 100 133 10, which indicates the
precise revision of the software in your spa), followed
by the Mach software version number (such as 2.1),
followed by “
” and then your spa’s network ID
number (consisting of both letters and digits displayed in
5 steps).
If you need to see this series of numbers again,
and “
” is once again on the display, just press
“Jets” again.
When done, press the “Light” button (more than once if
necessary) until you see the normal temperature display.
