10.1 Glossary of Safety Delays and
Lockouts
Heater Cool Down Delay
When the system is heating and the Filter Pump is
turned off, the Filter Pump will remain on for five (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. The five
(5) minute delay starts counting down when the heater
goes off. If the heater has been off for five (5) minutes or
more, prior to turning off the Filter Pump, there will not
be a delay.
Heater Start-up
The heater will only come on if the water is circulating
(for example, the filter pump is on and has been
circulating for 15 seconds) 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 fire.
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 (in other words, the heater turning
off and on in rapid succession).
Cleaner Lockout
The pool cleaner will only activate if the Filter Pump is on
and water is circulating. The pool cleaner requires that
water is circulating to the pool in order for it to operate.
Enabled
When activated allows the function to work.
Disabled
When activated does not allow the function to work.

10.2 Glossary of Alert Messages

FREEZE PROTECT
This message indicates that freezing conditions have
been detected by the freeze protection sensor, and that
equipment assigned to freeze protection are active (for
example, the filter pump). See Freeze Protection Menu
for more information.
ENGLISH
The filter pump is always protected; auxiliary
NOTE:
circuits can be assigned to freeze protection. If
a freeze protected Auxiliary is turned off during
freeze protection, a message will be displayed
indicating that item is off but will turn on in
X amount of minutes. The minutes will vary
depending on how long freeze mode has been
active from one (1) to 15 minutes.
SENSOR OPEN
This error message indicates that the sensor is not
installed properly or is malfunctioning. Call your pool
service person to resolve this problem.
If the message reads Water TEMP Open, the
NOTE:
heater will not fire. If message Air TEMP OPEN
is displayed, freeze protection will not operate
correctly.
PUMP WILL REMAIN ON WHILE SPILLOVER IS ON
This message is displayed when you attempt to turn off
the filter pump while a spa spillover is on. Since the filter
pump is necessary for spillover operation, the pump will
remain on until the spillover is turned off.
PUMP WILL TURN OFF AFTER COOL DOWN CYCLE
This message indicates that the filter pump is circulating
water to cool down the heater. The filter pump will
continue to run for five minutes to protect the heater from
damage, whenever the heater has fired and has been off
for less than five (5) minutes.
SERVICE MODE
Service mode is used by the pool service person to aid
them in servicing the pool.
SENSOR SHORT
This error message indicates that the sensor is not
installed properly or is malfunctioning. Call your pool
service person to resolve this problem.
If the message reads WATER TEMP SHORT,
NOTE:
the heater will not fire. If the message AIR
TEMP SHORT is displayed, freeze protection
will not operate correctly.
TIME-OUT MODE
Time Out mode is used by the pool service person to
aid them in servicing the pool. The automation system
user interface will not be functional for three (3) hours,
or until the switch at the Controller is turned back to
AUTO mode. The time remaining for TIME OUT mode is
displayed on the user interface screen
