Using the Egg Timer (countdown) Feature
The “Egg Timer” feature allows you switch off a circuit automatically after a specified time. The time period is
from one minute to 24 hours or run continuously. The “Egg Timer” (countdown) feature is useful for switching
off lighting and spa therapy jets. For example, a jet pump can be setup to switch off in 15 minutes, even if you
switch it on using the iS4 Spa-Side Remote or QuickTouch
®
II Wireless Remote or whenever you switch your
spa on, you would like it to automatically switch it off in two hours. All Egg Timer programs are factory set to
switch off after 12 hours. You also have the option to use the “Don’t Stop” feature to run a circuit continuously
until manually switched off.
In the event of a power failure, the “Egg Timer” feature will not switch the circuit back on. They must
be switched back on manually. For running the filter pump continuously during new pool start up, it is
recommended to use the “Service” mode, which will automatically restart the filter pump in the event of a
power failure.
The following example describes how use the “Egg Timer” (once only) feature to program the spa circuit to
switch the filter pump on and rotate the valves into the “Spa” position and switch the heater on for one time
only. This example can also be used if you wanted to program when to filter and heat your pool, and switch
light or auxiliary circuits on.
