UNDERSTANDING THE SMART
(BLACK)
SWITCH (HH1062)
The HH1062 Smart Switch was developed by Hammer-Head to add convenience, control, and protection to your
Hammer-Head Resort or Service unit. The internal circuit board monitors amperage and voltage levels to save the motor
from burnout during a jam, or while running out of the water. It has a built-in protection from reverse polarity wiring, as
well as an auto shut-off feature when out of the water. These are some of the key features and functions:
•
FULL
POWER
MODE
—
press ON once
— This turns on the motor with 100% power. The GREEN indicator light
around the switch will remain solid. There may be a brief delay before the motor runs, and you may see a temporary
flashing blue light and/or hear a sound before the light turns green. The blue light flash before startup is a diagnostic
light and does not indicate a problem.
SOLID GREEN LIGHT = FULL POWER MODE
•
LOW POWER (BATTERY SAVER) MODE
—
press ON, OFF, ON
— This turns on the motor with 80% power.
The
green indicator light will flash. In this mode the motor runs slower, conserves power, and can extend your run
time
and battery life.
FLASHING GREEN LIGHT = LOW POWER MODE
•
AUTO REVERSE MODE
— The motor can detect changes in resistance on the propeller. If the prop becomes
jammed and cannot spin, the motor will quickly reverse itself three times to clear the jam. If it cannot clear the jam
and spin freely, the switch will shut down the motor and you will see a red flashing light.
•
SAFETY (SHUT DOWN) MODE
— The motor has shut down because it cannot spin freely. The lights will flash
RED. Turn off the switch, pull the vacuum out of the water, and remove the obstruction. Return to vacuuming by
activating the switch in either full speed or low speed mode.
FLASHING RED LIGHT = SHUT DOWN MODE
•
WIRING FAULT MODE
— The motor will not run and the lights will flash RED AND BLUE. This indicates that there
is a short circuit in the wiring. Inspect the wiring and battery for faulty connections. A short in the blue floating power
cord may be caused by a kink or twist.
FLASHING RED AND BLUE LIGHT = WIRING FAULT MODE
The HH1062 Smart Switch can detect low
battery power levels and will not allow the
motor to run if the battery is undercharged
or has run out of power. If the motor stops
shortly after being powered up, and the
switch does not display any lights at all,
CHECK ALL WIRING CONNECTIONS
and BATTERY charge level first. Your
battery may not have enough power.
