Blower; Light; Preset Filter Cycles; Freeze Protection - Balboa ML550 Manual

ML550, 551, 554 Panel Operation (cont.)

Blower

1-speed operation: on/off;
2-speed operation: med/hi/off; or
3-speed operation: lo/med/hi/off.
If left on, the blower will automatically turn off after a time-
out period.
NOTE: If your system does not have a "Blower" button, and
is labeled as "Jets 3" instead, please refer to the respective
User Guide listed above.

Light

Some systems are equipped with both a spa light and a fiber
optic light; however, only one can be accessed by this panel.
(Larger panels may be purchased so that both the spa light
and fiber optic light can be utilized.) Depending upon how
your spa is equipped and configured, the "Light" button will
operate in one of three ways:
1) Press the "Light" button to turn the spa light on and off,
and to shift between dim and bright settings if your light
is dimmable.
2) If a fiber-optic light with wheel is installed, press the
"Light" button once to start the light and wheel; press
it again to stop the wheel, and then again to turn the
light off.
3) If a fiber-optic light without a separate wheel stop is
installed, press the "Light" button to turn it on and off.
Both a spa light and a fiber optic light may be used
simultaneously on the EL8000 and EL5000 systems with a
different panel.
If any light is left on, it will automatically turn off after a
factory programmed time period.

Preset Filter Cycles

On all systems, the pump and the ozone generator will run
during filtration. At the start of each filter cycle, the blower
will run briefly on its highest speed to purge the air channels.
The lowest speed of any other pumps and the mister will
also run briefly. On some circ systems, pump 1 may also run
for the duration of the filter.

(Note: This panel cannot be used to program filter cycles
for systems that are programmed by time rather than by
duration. For these systems, a larger panel is needed and the
following description does not apply.)
The first filter cycle ("day") begins 6 minutes after the spa is
powered up. The second filter cycle ("night") begins 12 hours
later. Filter duration is programmable for 1-12 hours ("
"-" "). The default filter duration can vary from system
to system. To program, press "Cool" or "Warm" , then " Jets 1" .
Press "Cool" or "Warm" to select the filter duration. Press
" Jets 1" to select the number of filter cycles. The display will
show " " (both "day" and "night" cycles); " " (day cycle
only); or " " ("night" cycle only). Press "Cool" or "Warm" to
adjust, then press " Jets 1" to exit the programming mode. For
continuous filtration, use "

Freeze Protection

If the temperature sensors within the heater detect a low
enough temperature, then the pump(s) and the blower
automatically activate to provide freeze protection.
The pump(s) and blower will run either continuously or
periodically depending on conditions.
In colder climates, an optional additional freeze sensor may
be added to protect against freeze conditions that may
not be sensed by the standard sensors. Auxiliary freeze
sensor protection acts similarly except with the temperature
thresholds determined by the switch. See your dealer
for details.
Locking Features
If this panel is used as the main panel, locking features will
not be available.
If this panel is used as a remote or additional panel, it will
lock when the main panel is locked. To unlock this panel,
unlock the main panel.
In the same way, the set temperature can be locked and
unlocked by a main panel. When the set temperature is
locked, it cannot be changed from either panel.
