Priming Mode – MO19
Each time the spa is powered up, it will enter Priming Mode.
The purpose of Priming Mode is to allow the user to run each
pump and manually verify that the pump is primed (air is
purged) and water is flowing. This typically requires observing
the output of each pump separately, and is generally not
possible in normal operation. Priming Mode lasts 4 minutes,
but you can exit it earlier by pressing any Temp button. The
heater is not allowed to run during Priming Mode.
Water Temperature is Unknown
After the pump has been running for 1 minute, the temperature
will be displayed.
Too Cold - Freeze Protection
A potential freeze condition has been detected, or the
Aux Freeze Switch has closed, and the pump is activated,
depending on how your system was built. The pump is ON
for at least 4 minutes after the potential freeze condition has
ended, or when the aux freeze switch opens. In some cases,
the pump may turn on and off and the heater may operate
during Freeze Protection. This is an operational message, not
an error indication.
Water is too Hot (OHS) – MO29
One of the water temp sensors has detected spa water temp
110°F (43.3°C) and spa functions are disabled. System will
auto reset when the spa water temp is below 108°F (42.2°C).
Check for extended pump operation or high ambient temp.
J29 Warning – MO44
J29 is typically used as a Heater Disable input. As such, it
should not typically be shorted at power-up. This message
appears if J29 is shorted at power-up.
