- The function turns off automatically after 20 minutes (if not turned
off by the user).
- If the electrical energy limiter has been activated, turning on a hy-
dromassage pump will switch off the heater.

Underwater spotlight



Press the “Pump”

button (display B) or the

button

(display A1/A2) to activate the spotlight on the tub wall

(activa-

tion is also signalled by the respective LED - display B - which may
also be flashing; on displays A1/A2, the button briefly lights up blue,
then returns to white).



The spotlight will stay on for 3 hours, but it can be turned off

before by pressing the key again

(please refer to the user manual

for information on operating the various colour sequences).

function

This function prevents automatic start of the pumps (filtering cy-
cle); it can therefore help to reduce noise levels in the environment
(e.g. at night).

The anti-freezing mode ("smart winter", see the respective sec-
tion) takes precedence over the "silence" function.

The function turns on through an external timer or time switch, to
be prepared as indicated on the pre-installation data sheet; the nor-
mally open contact of the timer must be connected to the hot tub's
electrical box (see wiring diagram).



The time can be used to program the periods in which the au-

tomatic operation of the pumps and/or the blower is to be turned
off (also refer to the documents that come with the timer).



However, it is possible to turn the hydromassage and/or spot-

light on

(in these cases, the “silence” function is suspended and re-

sumes about one minute after the hydromassage and/or spotlight
turns off).



During the function, “Sby” appears on the screen.

Operation of filtering cycles in relation to the "silence" function
If the "silence" function is programmed so that it coincides with
the time slots reserved for the filtering cycle, this will be tempo-
rarily suspended; it will resume at the end of the "silence" func-
tion for the remaining time

(example: if the function lasts 6 hours

and the filtering cycle 8 hours, the latter will resume operation for
the remaining 2 hours).

However, if the “silence” duration is greater than the filtering
cycle, this will not start at the end of the function, and the filtering
will be delayed to the next cycle: in this case, the hot tub water
quality could worsen, since the filtering cycle time was reduced.
Do not program too long time periods that could signifi-

cantly reduce the filtering cycle time: the water must always
circulate through the filter.

NOTES
-

Warning: only a normally open (not closed) contact must be con-

nected to the terminal provided on the electrical box.
- It is advisable to program the "silence" function so that it does not
coincide with the filtering cycles.
- If the pump and/or blower are operating when the "silence" func-
tion should start, it is suspended and then resumed for about one
minute after the pump and/or blower are switched off.
- If a new temperature value is set during the "silence" function, this
will be valid at the end of the function.
