CONTROL PANELS
Hot Spring
®
spa models are equipped with a main control panel, located on the side of the spa, and an auxiliary control panel (except Jetsetter
®
)
located within the seating area of the spa.
The main control panel controls all of the spa functions, and uses indicator lights and an integrated LCD display to aid in determining the status of
the spa. At night, the main control panel and display are illuminated by a soft light from the top of the panel.
The auxiliary control panel (Landmark
®
, Grandee
®
, Vanguard
™
, Sovereign
®
Limited Edition, Sovereign
®
, Prodigy
®
) is conveniently located so that a
user inside the spa can operate the light or the jets.
NOTE:
If the SPA LOCK function has been initiated at the main control panel, the auxiliary control panel will not operate.
MAIN CONTROL PANEL
The main control panel provides a quick visual check of the spa’s status, and allows the user to set the temperature, activate the jets and light,
and lock the temperature and/or spa functions.
INDICATOR LIGHTS
At a glance, the indicator lights are readily visible on the main control panel. The three indicator lights (POWER, READY and CLEAN) work
independently from the rest of the control panel display. That way, even if the control panel is off, you can simply glance at the “READY” indicator
light to determine whether or not your spa is within the range of your set temperature.
Power Indicator:
The POWER indicator is ‘on’ when the spa is properly supplied with power. It also provides a diagnostic function–a blinking
power indicator indicates that the heater high limit has tripped, meaning that either the spa water is above its acceptable temperature range, or a
malfunction has occurred within the spa (such as low circulation due to clogged filters). An ‘off’ power indicator means that there is a problem with
the spa control box or the power supplied to the spa.
Ready Indicator:
The READY indicator will light when the spa water temperature is within 2-1/2°F of the set temperature, and will turn off when
the temperature is outside of that range. If you increase or decrease the temperature setting of the spa, the ready indicator will turn off until the spa
temperature reaches the acceptable range for the new set temperature. Additionally, a blinking READY indicator indicates that a problem exists
with the temperature sensor.
Clean Indicator:
The CLEAN indicator lights up when the CLEAN button is pressed. It remains on during the ten-minute clean cycle (used for
water maintenance), then automatically shuts off at the end of the cycle. The JET symbol will also illuminate on the display to indicate that the jet
pump is on.
NOTE:
When the SPA LOCK feature is activated, the CLEAN button is disabled. If the CLEAN button will not turn on the jet pump, refer to the
following section and verify that the SPA LOCK is off.
LOCKING FEATURES
The two locking features, TEMPERATURE LOCK and SPA LOCK, are enabled from the main control panel by pressing a specific combination of
buttons. Once enabled, a lock will remain active until the specific button combination is applied to disable the lock. Even if power is disconnected
from the spa and soon thereafter reapplied (such as in a power outage) the lock will remain in place.
SPA LOCK
The SPA LOCK feature deactivates all of the functions of the main and auxiliary control panels. It is
generally used to prevent unwanted use of the spa.
To activate the SPA LOCK, press the LIGHT minus (-) and TEMP minus (-) buttons at the
same time and hold them down until the word SPA and the lock symbol are illuminated
on the display (approximately two seconds).
When the SPA LOCK is activated, if a button is pressed, the control panel will
display the lock symbol and the word SPA for 30 seconds, then turn off.
To deactivate the SPA LOCK, press the LIGHT minus (-) and TEMP minus (-) buttons at the same time and hold them down until the word SPA
and the lock symbol are no longer illuminated on the display (approximately two seconds).
TEMPERATURE LOCK
The TEMPERATURE LOCK feature deactivates the temperature control function of the main control panel. All other functions on the main and
auxiliary control panels will operate normally. TEMPERATURE LOCK is most often used by people who do not want others to tamper with or
change the set temperature of the spa water.
