A18.0 Glossary Of Terms
Circuit Board:
Printed circuit board assembly that distributes voltage to selected components.
Control Panel:
Component that allows user to access functions provided by the circuit board.
Ammeter:
Device which measures electrical current conducted through a wire or electrical
device.
Eprom:
Chip on the circuit board that stores hot tub software.
Flow Switch:
Switch that informs circuit board there is suffi cient water movement to activate
heater. This switch identifi es water fl ow.
Hi-Limit Sensor:
Sensor that monitors water temperature inside heater.
Jumper:
Device on circuit board that mechanically connects (bridges) two points together.
Ohmmeter:
Device that measures the resistance in ohms (Ω) of a component or temperature
sensitive device (e.g. temperature sensor, heater element, etc.).
Ozonator:
A device that produces ozone gas by passing air by a UV light source or through
Corona Discharge (high voltage arc) methods.
ProClear:
A 24-hour ozone fi ltration system added to a hot tub's circulation pump line which
introduces Ozone while circulating the water.
Pin Assignments:
Locations identifi ed by numbers on circuit board.
Sensor Harness:
Plug in connector containing the temperature sensor, hi-limit sensor, fl ow switch
and interlock jumper device connections.
Summer Logic:
Deactivates circulation pump and ozone when hot tub water reaches 2ºF (1ºC)
above the set temperature. Hot tub water must be 95ºF (35ºC) or higher for sum-
mer logic to activate.
Temp. Sensor:
Sensor that monitors hot tub water temperature.
Transformer:
Device that converts primary high voltage AC signal to a secondary low voltage AC
signal.
Voltage Meter:
Device that measures AC or DC voltage potentials across components or from a
specifi c test point to ground.
