GFCI PROTECTION
NOTE: The GFCI section does not apply on EL systems used
outside the United States. This GFCI section does not apply to GL
Systems.
Your pool may be equipped with a GFCI Protection feature. If your pool
does not have this feature enabled, the GFCI Trip Test must occur to al-
low proper pool function.
Within 1 to 7 days after startup, the pool will trip the GFCI to test it. (The
number of days is factory programmed.) The GFCI must be reset once
it has been tripped. After passing the GFCI Trip Test, subsequent GFCI
trips will indicate a ground default or other unsafe condition requiring the
power to the pool to be shut off.
Warning:
The owner should test and reset the GFCI on a regular basis
to verify it’s function
Once the GFCI is tripped by the test, reset the GFCI and the pool will
operate normally from that point. You can verify a successful test by
navigating to the
“9FC”
item as described above, pressing
“Jets 1” and then pressing the “Warm” button until you
see
“9SP”
. The code signifies GFCI Status - Passed.
The system will exit this menu in 30 seconds if no buttons are pressed.
GFCI TRIP TEST PROCEDURE
The installer can cause the GFCI Trip Test to occur sooner by initiating
it with the following button sequence.
Press “Warm”, then “Jets 1”, then “Light.”
(Each press must be within 3 seconds of the previous press.) Press
the “Warm” button repeatedly until “
9FC”
is displayed.
Press “Jets 1” to select it. Press the “Warm” button until
“9t.n”
is displayed.
Press “Jets 1” to initiate the GFCI Trip Test.
The GFCI should trip within several seconds and the pool should shut
down. If it does not, shut down the power and manually verify that a
GFCI breaker is installed and that the circuit and pool are wired cor-
rectly. Verify the function of the GFCI with it’s own test button. Restore
power to the pool and repeat the GFCI Trip Test.
