Using Shortcuts - Aquacal TropiCal T170 Operation Manual

1.7 Using Shortcuts

The shortcuts menu provides quick access to model specific options and features. The following outlines some
of these options.
Group Access
As a group is created, a shortcut automatically appears in the shortcuts menu. The user can activate the
group by shortcut and will be asked how long to operate that group.
Multiple group shortcuts can operate at the same time. The time remaining for each group to operate will
l
appear on the status screen.
After the group shortcut timer expires, the heat pump group will resume its normally scheduled activity.
l
To cancel the group shortcut's operation before its timer expires, go to the shortcut menu, select it, and
l
choose "STOP".
See "Using a Group Shortcut" on the facing page.
l
See "Stopping a Group Shortcut" on the facing page.
l
PLEASE NOTE:
The Spa and Pool groups (if applicable) will not appear in the shortcuts menu. Use the
schedules or the Pool / Spa button to activate those groups.
Schedule Mode
There are three modes that can be set when running schedules.
"AUTO" - The default mode. This allows schedules to run normally.
l
"AWAY" - This mode is generally used when the user is away on vacation and doesn't want to maintain a
l
water temperature. The heat pump will be deactivated while the rest of the schedules (including filtration) are
allowed to continue.
"OFF" - This mode turns off all schedules. The schedules resume when the schedule mode is set to "AUTO"
l
again.
(See "Schedule and Program Modes" on page 23 for more information.)
l
Service Mode
This mode will deactivate the heat pump as well as all equipment connected to the heat pump.
(See "Service Mode" on page 54 for more information.)
l
Turbo Boost (Variable Speed Heat Pumps Only)
Upon demand, the heat pump's compressor can be set to maximum speed to heat or cool the water
quickly. This is regardless of any previously set efficiency mode settings.
The system will heat or cool the water with the compressor speed set to maximum. This will continue until
l
the set temperature is reached. Then the configured efficiency mode (either 24-hour or scheduled) will
resume.
(See "Configure Variable Speed Compressors (Select Units)" on page 46 for more information.)
