HEATING- QUICK START & STOP Note to Dealer/Installer: This, and the “Owner Level Programming” sections were originally writ- ten for use by the home owner/operator. As such, much of the language will be owner-directed. The intent of this section is to provide rapid access to very basic operational information. Indi- viduals who will be routinely using, installing, maintaining, and servicing the heat pump, are strongly encouraged to read this entire manual.

CFO..Call Flex Options. This is a programming entry point; when used in conjunction with an AquaCal Call/Flex add on kit, permits the use of CALL or FLEX options. FS..Heater in Defrost Mode (Applicable to Heat-Only Units, only). This code appears as a normal display during periods of lower air temperatures.
HEATER CONTROLS...continued Start Up & Setting Operating Controls Owner-Level Programming Instructions (Complete) Covered within this section are features and settings typically accessed first by the installer, and then remaining accessible by the end user (the owner). These features reside at the Level-1 access point within the microprocessor.

Press the [POOL/SPA] key to toggle between the pool and the spa temperature set points. B. The pool/spa LED indicator lights, located to the left of the temperature display, will confirm the selected set point.

Generally speaking, the installer’s main focus within Level-2 programming will be in configuring for external controller compatibility. And, unless instructed to do otherwise by the AquaCal Technical Support Group, the installer should not adjust sensor calibration or dead-band values.

With the [dEL] (4 minute time delay) code message displayed use the [UP] or [DOWN] arrow key to select either “1” to allow the time delay to remain active or “0” to deactivate the time delay.

Once [dEL] is displayed, press the [POOL/SPA] key until the display shows [tSC] (Water Temperature Calibration). Using either the [UP] or [DOWN] arrow keys, calibrate the water temperature sensor by increasing or decreasing the numeric value displayed to match the measured water temperature.

Once the correct temperature value has been selected, not pressing any buttons for 15-seconds will allow the controller to save the selection and return to the normal operating mode.
Connecting External Controllers • See document entitled: “Connecting External Controllers to AquaCal Heat Pumps”; this document is shipped with every AquaCal heater. For extra copies, contact AquaCal Customer Support (800-786-7751); request literature piece: “LTP0050.” • For Call-Flex option, reference instructions received with the Call-Flex kit.
Then, if after working through site-related issues the heater is still not functioning correctly, the Service Representative will offer to set up a service visit. As necessary, please Contact AquaCal Customer Support Group (800- 786-7751).
Microprocessor Mode Jumper Positioning Mode Jumper Explained The HP7R microprocessor is designed to operate as a Heat-Only or a Heating & Cooling controller. The selection between the two choices is made through the positioning of a mode jumper contained on the microprocessor board. The position of the jumper is set at the factory, and is dependant upon the design of the heater being controlled.
Controls Configuration & Adjustments... Defrost Systems- Described DEFROST CYCLE (HEAT ONLY UNITS): The microprocessor controller monitors the heater’s air-coil temperature, minimizing air-coil freeze- up during cooler weather conditions. If the controller senses air-coil temperatures conductive to mak- ing ice, the heater’s compressor operation is interrupted while the fan is allowed to continue in opera- tion.
