Temperature
Adjusting the set temperature
When using a panel with Up and Down buttons
(Temperature buttons), pressing Up or Down will cause
the temperature to flash. Pressing a temperature
button again will adjust the set temperature in the
direction indicated on the button. When the LCD stops
flashing, the spa will heat to the new set temperature
when required. If the panel has a single temperature
button, pressing the button will cause the temperature
to flash. Pressing the button again will cause the
temperature to change in one direction (e.g. UP). After
allowing the display to stop flashing, pressing the
Temperature Button will cause the temperature to flash
and the next press will change the temperature in the
opposite direction (e.g. DOWN).
Press-and-Hold
If a Temperature button is pressed and held when the
temperature is flashing, the temperature will continue
to change until the button is released. If only one
temperature button is available and the limit of the
Temperature Range is reached when the button is
being held, the progression will reverse direction.
For the TP500 to be used at its max you need to have
it on Ready mode and high range. This will let you have
the temperature set to 40 and keep it set high.
