Introduction:
Thank you for purchasing a Spa Power 500 spa
control system. This controller has been designed to
offer more powerful accessories, superior control and
better ease of use than other controllers in its class.
It makes use of an optimal combination of proven,
reliable technology and innovative new sensor design.
Quick operating instructions:
(1) Pump Mode button
The default state is Auto mode in which the pump and
heater are controlled automatically to maintain the
pool temperature. Three pushes on this button cycle
the system as follows.
Push 1 = Auto off, Pump on, Heater automatic.
Push 2 = Auto off, Pump off, Heater off.
Push 3 = Auto on, Pump and Heater controlled
automatically (back to default state).
(2) Auxiliary Air, Jets or Light button
The default state is off.
Two pushes of this button cycle the output as follows.
Push 1 = Output on.
Push 2 = Output off.
(3) Temperature setting - Digital display
The default setting is 37.0°C.
Holding down the Up or Down button will
automatically adjust the spa temperature setting
shown on the digital readout.
Up: increases the setting 0.5°C per beep.
Down: decreases the setting 0.5°C per beep.
The minimum setting is 20.0°C.
The maximum setting is 40.5°C.
Detailed operating description:
(1) Pump Mode button:
The Spa Power 500 controls the water pump and
heater automatically to maintain the water at the
desired temperature. The user can leave the system
to look after the pool and know it will be at the correct
temperature whenever he or she wishes to use it.
(2) Auxiliary Air, Jets or Light button:
This button gives the user on/off control over an
additional pool accessory which may vary in different
pool designs. In some cases this accessory may not
be fitted. Operation is clearly indicated by a coloured
light on the panel. If left on, this accessory will
automatically switch off after a fixed time (30
minutes). Usually switching on this accessory will
cause the heater to switch off (loadshedding). This is
in order to keep the total power load to a safe level.
(3) Up and Down Temperature Control buttons:
The Spa Power 500 gives the user direct control of
the pool temperature from the poolside control panel.
There is no need to look under the pool for the
temperature adjustment. To adjust the temperature
simply press the Up or Down button on the panel until
the display corresponds with the desired temperature.
There is a slight delay before the buttons operate to
reduce the risk of accidental adjustment.
Pushing the Up and Down buttons together produces
a flashing temperature display which indicates the
current sensed temperature of the water in the heater
housing. This is not the pool temperature but when
the pump is running it should approximate the pool
temperature. The pool temperature will be maintained
very close to the set temperature.
IMPORTANT:
Before using, check that the spa pool has been
connected to a suitable weather protected outlet
socket, equipped with a double polled isolating
switch, which is of the correct rating and complies
with the local wiring regulations.
When installing refer to your local wiring code.
In particular refer to ECP 2 and ECP 25 (AS / NZ).
and EN 60364-4-1 and EN 60364-7-1 (EU). The
system must be installed in such a way that live parts
are not accessible by a person in the pool.
This appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision. Young
children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
The Pump Mode button allows the user to switch the
pump on or off as desired when using the pool. For
safety the heater is always automatically controlled.
Automatic operation is the default and the system
returns to automatic mode by itself at a fixed time (90
minutes) after the user last pushed the pump mode
button. Pushing the pump mode button then switches
the pump on and terminates automatic mode. If the
pump was already on in auto mode then it will stay on.
Pushing the pump mode button again will switch the
heater and pump off. The pump will run for a few
seconds to cool the heater before switching off. One
more push of the pump mode button will return the
system to automatic mode. These operations are
clearly indicated on the panel by coloured lights.
Clean up cycle:
If desired, a clean up cycle can be initiated to filter the
water after the pool has been used. This is done by
simply pushing the pump mode button to leave auto
mode and switch on the pump. This will run the pump
for a fixed period of time (90 minutes) circulating the
water through the filter. The system will then return to
auto mode and maintain the temperature ready for the
next time the pool is used.
Auto Sanitising (filtration):
The Spa Power 500 monitors the total time the pump
is running in normal pool operation. If the pump has run
for only a short time it will automatically run the pump
for an additional period to maintain the filtration/
sanitisation of the pool water.
