It is now acceptable to begin using the Fastlane Swim Unit. Remove and unwrap the two
(one for use, one extra) wireless controllers from the Controller Box on the Hydraulic Power
Unit (HPU). Press and hold the ON/OFF button to turn on the swim current.
The Fastlane features 52 incremental steps in speed. Press and release the FASTER
button to increase the speed of the current one step at a time. Alternatively, press and
continue to hold the FASTER button to ramp up the speed until the button is released or
the maximum speed is achieved. Reduce the speed in the same manner using the
SLOWER button.
Turn off the Fastlane by again pressing the ON/OFF button. Because the Fastlane
"remembers" its speed setting when it is turned off, so the unit will return to that same
setting the next time it is used. NOTE: The circuit card on the HPU is programmed to
"ramp down" the speed of the current before completely shutting off. It will also "ramp up"
the speed of the current when the unit is turned on.
The circuitry of the HPU is equipped with an automatic safety timer that will shut down the
system thirty minutes after receiving its last command. If this happens in the middle of a
swim, simply turn the unit on again and it will return to its previous setting.
The Fastlane wireless controller transmits radio waves, similar to a garage door opener.
Should the Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) be placed too far away from the Fastlane Pool, the
wireless controller may not be able to perform its functions. To operate the Fastlane more
effectively, it may be helpful to install the antenna closer to the pool than the HPU, so there
is less of a chance of interference occurring. A longer length of coaxial cable can be used if
needed to move the antenna even closer to the pool.
Parts List
10' length of coaxial antenna cable
Coaxial grounding block (antenna mount)
Instructions
If the antenna is already installed, detach it from the upper left hand side of the
Controller Box mounted on the HPU.
Attach and finger-tighten the antenna cable.
Attach the coaxial grounding block (antenna mount) to the surface where the
electrical disconnect box is mounted.
The antenna should be just above the height of the box so that the metal box does
not interfere with the wireless controller's radio waves. NOTE: The antenna can
be placed even closer to the pool by purchasing antenna cable from a local
supplier.
Attach and finger-tighten the antenna to the upper end of the coaxial grounding
block (antenna mount).
