Heater Conversion

Step 1:

 Your system can be set for 

High Current (HC) or Low Current 
(LC) operation (the connection is pre-
configured at the factory for low current). 
In the Low Current configuration the 
heater will automatically turn off when the 
high-speed of the pump or the air blower 
is activated. For unrestricted High Current 
operation, simply turn input power off, 
locate and disconnect the conversion plug 
and receptacle. 

Step 2:

 Now reinstall the conversion plug 

into the High Current (HC) conversion 
receptacle. The conversion is complete. 
Reapply power and operate the spa 
normally. When the high-speed of the pump 
or the air blower are turned on, the heater 
will not shut off.

Step 1: 

Remove 2(ea) screws and open front 

cover of enclosure. Locate the conversion 
terminal block and desired connector. Use the 
Corresponding color wire for each receptacle to 
be converted.  Carefully remove connector from 
the Neutral side.

Step 2

Reinstall the connector onto the “Line 2” 

side. The conversion is complete and the circuit 
is now ready for a 240VAC component. Note: 
Repeat this procedure for each circuit.

System Configuration Cont.

We have made the conversion process simple and easy. After you have determined 
the voltage of your components (pump(s), air blower, ozonator etc.), you are now 
ready to complete the conversion process. Color-Coded Neutral Wire connectors 
have been provided to easily distinguish the circuit to be converted. By simply 
moving a Neutral wire from the Neutral side of the conversion terminal block, clearly 
marked and located inside the control enclosure, to the Line 2 side completes the 
circuit conversion. Follow the illustrations and step-by-step instructions.
