Remove and Replace a System Circuit Board

Removing BP Expander Board, an Alternate Way

IMPORTANT!

BE SURE TO TURN THE POWER OFF BEFORE 
REPLACING ANY COMPONENT, ESPECIALLY A 
CIRCUIT BOARD. 

IMPORTANT!

DO NOT REMOVE AND REPLACE THE CIRCUIT 
BOARD UNLESS THE FAULT HAS POSITIVELY BEEN 
DETERMINED TO BE THE CIRCUIT BOARD.

REMOVING A SYSTEM CIRCUIT BOARD

Shut OFF line power to the spa at the main circuit breaker 

panel. Do not attempt to service a spa without shutting off 
the power. Serious injury or damage may result. Consider 
placing a padlock on the main service disconnect box while 
working on the spa. 
Before you begin, consider labeling all wires that will 

be removed from the board. This may help speed up 
reinstallation. Other technicians prefer to take the board 
out with wires intact, place both defective and new board 
side by side on a bench, then swap wires, recheck the logic 
jumpers, and DIP switch for proper configuration. Whatever 
technique is used, a wiring diagram should always be used 
to ensure proper wire placement.
Remove the sensor wire connectors at the board, and the 

J44 heater connector on the BP2000 Board (located to the 
left of the transformer). Be sure to use the release tab on 
the connectors; do not pull on the wires. 
Some BP spa control systems use an 

expander board. 

Removing the expander board first simplifies the process. 
To remove it, remove the screw, and then gently squeeze 
the locking flange on each standoff with needle nose pliers 
while lifting the board out. Some technicians, after removing 
the screw (and if the standoffs allow it), gently pry the board 
up where there’s a plastic stand off.  Do not use excessive 
force if the standoff will not yield. Do not pry up directly into 
the board as damage to the board may result.
Remove the seven screws (if BP2000, see illustration). 

The board should now be free and can be removed from the 

system box.
