If the display indicates the unit is under remote
control, an external control device has been
configured to control the heat pump. See the
external control device manual. Or contact
installer or manufacturer of that device.
PLEASE NOTE:
When using a SMART external control device, the time-out and service modes will
deactivate the Heat Pump.

When an external flow switch has been installed and enabled, the heat pump will automatically switch from
pool to spa temperature settings when there is flow through the external flow switch. The "Pool/Spa" button
