Safety Delays and Lockouts
Lockouts
Any device can be locked out. This will prevent the locked
out device from being turned on manually. However, the
device will turn on/off when it is being controlled by a
program.
Pool/Spa Switching Filter Pump Delay
The fi lter pump turns off while valves rotate between pool
and spa to prevent damage to the pool equipment. The
valves take 35 seconds to rotate between pool and spa; the
fi lter pump will activate as soon as the valves have fi nished
turning.
Heater Cool Down Delay
When the system is heating (water is circulating to the spa)
and the Spa button is pressed, the system will remain in Spa
Mode for fi ve (5) minutes, and will continue to circulate the
water. This delay allows water to cool the heater down by
circulating water through it, preventing equipment damage.
Heater Start-up
The heater will only come on if the water is circulating (e.g.,
fi lter pump is on and has been circulating for 15 seconds) to
the corresponding body of water (e.g., spa for spa heater) and
the actual water temperature is below the temperature you set
with TEMP SET in the Menu. If these conditions are not met,
the heater will be enabled (ready to go), but will not fi re.
Heater "Short Cycling" Prevention
When the heater is activated and the desired temperature
is reached, heater will turn off and remain off for three (3)
minutes, even if the temperature falls below the desired
temperature. This feature prevents heater short cycling (i.e.,
heater turning off and on in rapid succession).
Cleaner Lockout
The pool cleaner will only activate if the system is in pool
mode (i.e., water circulating to pool). The pool cleaner
requires that water is circulating to the pool in order for it to
operate. Return to pool mode to activate the cleaner.
Spillover Lockout
The spillover will only activate if the system is in pool mode
(i.e., water circulating to pool). The spillover requires that
water is circulating to the pool in order for it to operate.
Return to pool mode to activate the waterfall. Also, if the pool
cleaner is on, it will turn off during spillover operation.

Spillover
When Dip Switch S1-3 is in the ON position, the Aux. 3
relay socket is activated and the return valve actuator turns.
The spillover is disabled while the spa is on. A message is
displayed when spillover is turned on while in spa mode
(water cir cu la tion is to spa). The spillover requires that water
cir cu la tion is to pool in order to op er ate. The spillover will
activate when the system switches back to pool mode.
Enabled
When activated allows the function to work.
Disabled
When activated does not allow the function to work.

Spare AUX
With DIP switch S1-6 turned OFF, the spare auxiliary socket
is energized in "Pool Mode" and off in "Spa Mode". With
DIP switch ON, the spare Auxiliary socket is energized in the
"Spa Mode" and off in the "Pool Mode". Operates only with
Pool/Spa combination units.
Extra AUX
System features (for example, light dimming, software
labeling, and timed aux) can be assigned to the extra AUX
button. Only freeze protection cannot be assigned to the extra
auxiliary.
Air Blower
When an AUX button labeled "Air Blower" is pressed, it
will turn on the air blower for 30 minutes, then automatically
turn it off. An air blower may be programmed like any other
auxiliary, except that you can program only the ON time.
The air blower will turn on at the programmed ON time, and
turn off 30 minutes later. This is to protect the blower motor
from overheating during extended operation. To change the
ON time from the default value of 30 minutes, refer to the
DEVICE RUNTIME feature.
Fill Line
When an AUX button labeled "Fill Line" is pressed, it will
turn on the fi ll line for 30 minutes, and then automatically
turn it off. A fi ll line may be programmed like any other
auxiliary, except that you can program only the ON time.
The fi ll line will turn on at the programmed ON time, and
turn off 30 minutes later. This is to avoid overfi lling the pool.
Choose the appropriate number of "fi ll" programs during the
week to keep your pool at the appropriate level. To change
the ON time from the default value of 30 minutes, refer to the
DEVICE RUNTIME feature.
