Fitting SmartLINK Module to Spa
The SpaNET SpaLink WiFi module is simple to install. It
does not require any power, it just requires the black data
cable to be connected to the Expand Port 1 (EXP1) socket
on the top right hand corner of the SV controller.
The WiFi module should be installed as close to the front of
the spa cabinet as possible, ideally in a corner of the
cabinet where the silver foil insulation material is minimal
or not present. The silver foil insulation can often shield the
WiFi signal coming from the home router and therefore
diminish the WiFi signal strength the module will receive. If
WiFi strength is poor (low) a SMA antenna extension cable
should be used to enable the SMA WiFi antenna to be
mounted and installed external to the spa cabinet to
improve WiFi reception and online reliability. Alternatively
the existing black CAT5 data cable could be removed and
replaced with a longer cable to enable the SmartLINK WiFi
module to be located in or near the household to ensure
good signal strength to the home router.
Connecting SmartLINK Module when Expand Port 1 (EXP1) is already in use
Certain brand spas have features that use the Expand Port 1 socket. In this case when you
attempt to connect the SpaLINK Module the socket you need to connect to will already have a
cable connected. In this situation the existing cable gets disconnected from the SV controller
and re-connected inside of the SpaLINK WiFi Module, therefore allowing the SpaLINK black data
cable to be connected directly to the EXP1 socket on the SV controller as required.
