7. Plug the Wifi module ribbon plug into the Smartouch digital circuit board ribbon cable jack for
the spaside control panel. Be sure the plug key is aligned in the slot and press in firmly to make
the 2 side levers fold in automatically and lock.
8. Mount the wifi module enclosure, using the screws provided, in an appropriate spot oriented
with the ribbon cables coming down out of the wifi module.
DO NOT position the box with
cables coming out sideways, horizontal or pointing upward if the box is being mounted
outdoors.
This will prevent any possibility of moisture present (i.e. rain) from running along
the cable into the box and damaging the wifi board inside. Also make sure the spot chosen is
not directly next to any high current AC motors or located inside any metal boxes or covered
with any metallic or mylar materials (yes this includes that reflective bubble wrap insulation)
that will obstruct wifi signal. Household cordless phones that are labeled 2.4gHZ should not be
used near 2.4gHZ wireless networks or devices (like your new wifi module) as they will
adversely affect and even disrupt wifi connectivity. If you do have 2.4gHZ cordless phones,
consider replacing them with ones featured with 900Mhz, Dect 6.0 or 1.9Ghz. You can skip the
mounting step until the end if moving the module around for best wifi reception is required
during the setup process.
Configuring Wifi settings:
1. It is very important to insure you have strong wifi signal available from your preferred wireless
router. Test your wifi router's signal strength with your mobile phone or tablet while standing
right next to the spa and right next to the wifi module installation location. This device does
NOT support the 5 ghz spectrum due to range limitations that exist within that spectrum. The
2.4gHz spectrum is more reliable over greater distances. If you have a lot of devices sharing
your network, it's important to connect as many wireless devices using your network, that are
5ghz capable, to that spectrum instead of the 2.4gHz spectrum. The more devices sharing
2.4Ghz the slower that spectrum performs. An overloaded network in the 2.4Ghz spectrum will
cause connectivity issues and result in unreliable remote access to your spa.
