Light Button

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; 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.

Jet Control

If Jets are programmed, they will be set to shift between
low and high speeds if equipped. If left running, the
pump will turn off after a time-out period. The pump 1
low speed time-out on some systems may be as long as
4 hours.
On non-circ systems, the low speed of pump 1 runs
when the blower or any other pump is on. It may also
activate for at least 1 minute every 30 minutes to detect
the spa temperature (polling) and then to heat to the
set temperature if needed, depending upon the mode.
When the low speed turns on automatically, it cannot
be deactivated from the panel; however, the high speed
may be started.

Jets 2-6

If these are installed, and if it is a two-speed pump,
then the change in mode will be between low and
high speeds. If left running, the pump will turn off
after a time-out period. Please refer to "Optional
Auxiliary Panels".
