Make it available or other spa users.
You should also have a spa user’s manual which ex-
plains how to care for your spa. Please read and follow
all instructions in your spa user’s manual. Maintaining
the proper levels of pH and the sanitizer will extend the
life of your spa equipment. Improper chemical levels
in the spa are sure to cause premature heater failure
as well as failure of other components in the system.
Failures caused by chemical imbalance are not cov-
ered by warranty.
NO Check for the following:
1- Voltage at the Heater Contactor Coil Relay. Across the White and Yellow wires. 120V or 240V depending on
power rating on contactor relay.
If power is present and contactor does not engage, replace contactor.
If there is no power replace PCBoard
2- Check power at load / output (right) side of contactor . If there is power go to next step. If not go back to step one.
3- Check power at Heater L M NT. If no power then High Limit relay on PCBoard is NOT -- closing. Remove plastic
dust cover off and inspect relay contacts. Replace PCBoard.
OVERHEAT ERROR CODES ( OH or HLEr) but spa water temperature is not.
Allow enough time for the sensors to cool down. Then clear the error code by pressing the S T button.
1-Turn temperature down to lowest setting & press the S T key
2- Press S T a second time and allow the low speed Jets to run for 2-3 minutes
3-Is temperature reading dropping? Does it match the thermometer reading in the spa ?
4-If Y S . there is flow restriction. Clean / inspect or remove filter cartridge. Or secondary bypass intake to the pump is
blocked or not installed.
5-Raise the temperature setting to 4 degrees above water temperature. Average heat gain is about 30 minutes. If there is
rapid heat gain go back to step #4.

Micro-processor technology is becoming a familiar name in the spa in-
dustry. Here, at Applied Computer Controls, we produced our first intelli-
gent microprocessor based spa control system, in 1981-82. The SC-100
and SC-200; the forerunners of intelligent electronic spa controls.
Today, SmarTouch Digital includes more than 30 years experience.
SmarTouch Digital, is a fourth generation microprocessor-based control
system. A reliable energy efficient spa controller, so advanced but easy
to operate, is conveniently located at your fingertips. A high intensity,
oversized characters, L D display or our multi colored LCD display, keeps
you informed of the spa temperature, time-of-day and elapsed time and
a list of error codes, to inform and identify a malfunction.
Safety and reliability are built-in to meet or exceed the most stringent,
up to date requirements set by (UL) Underwriters Laboratories.
SmarTouch Digital is the culmination of proven designs and extensive
testing… from Applied Computer Controls.

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for buying a spa equipped with a SmarTouch Digital con-
trol system. Many years of experience went into the design of this
family of controls. You can be assured your spa control system is the
most advanced, it is highly reliable and will serve you for many years
to come.
The control system has been designed with you, the user in mind. It
is very easy to operate and requires a minimal effort on your part.
You may use it just as it comes to you and without any programming.
Yet you have the option of getting deeply involved in the inner work-
ings of the control if you so choose. You can custom tailor it to fit
your needs.
Please take the time to read at least the first section (next page) “IN
A HURRY – R AD THIS” portion of the manual before starting to use
your spa for the first time. You can familiarize yourself with the rest
of the manual at your leisure.
The more e icient the system is the
less energy it uses.
The concept behind SmarTouch Digital is to maintain the desired
temperature setting and water filtration with the least amount of en-
ergy consumption.
Temperature and Overheat sensors are located at the Stainless Steel
heater manifold, the coldest and hottest spot where true tempera-
ture is measured and to detect Freeze and Overheat conditions.
Considering the large volume of cooler water in the plumbing, pump
and heater manifold, low speed primary pump is activated for five
minutes every three hours to stabilize spa temperature, prior to ac-
tivating the heater. stimated 102F water temperature drop at 55F
ambient air temperature is about half a degree Fahrenheit in a well
insulated spa. Heater will not start at this point until next cycle. Tem-
perature must drop by 1F before heater is activated.

IN A HURRY - READ THIS
SmarTouch Digital comes to you with a universal set o de ault
settings. I you choose to keep these settings, then you only
need to remember 2 things: how to set the spa temperature and
to press the SET key whenever you are done using the spa.
Setting Temperature
The UP(T MP) & DOWN(TIM ) arrows.
Press and hold for 2 sec. the UP (T MP) arrow key.
Controller will display current spa temperature.
Use the UP or DOWN arrow keys to select
desired temperature.
*To enter new temperature press → S T key.
The controller will:
- Lock-in the new temperature.
- Display current spa temperature.
IMPORTANT: Always turn down the heat before you drain the spa.
*Note:
Once you select the T MP or TIM and the S T key is not pressed within
30 seconds the controller reverts to the previous setting and the change
will not take effect.
The SET Key
After using the spa, press the S T key to tell the micro controller you are
done using the spa. It will then take over the spa’s management, including
the different filtration cycles, heat maintenance, economy modes and
protection against freezing.
Both buttons are used to select, increase
or decrease temperature or time setting.
Note: Both keys are active when pressed
individually and held down 2 seconds, to
eliminate accidental changes.
Page 23 Page 4

SETTING TIME-OF-DAY
Setting Time-O -Day
Press and hold for 2 sec. the DOWN (Time) arrow key.
Controller will display 12:00 noon. Use OR to set the
correct time-of-day.
*After every selection “Hours , Minutes” press → S T key.
Cool-Down Timer
A 30-second timer keeps the low speed jets, ON, after the heater turns
OFF, to remove all residual heat from the heater element.
User Timer
A built-in, 20 minutes elapsed-time clock switches off any active function.
Economy mode. Water & Energy Management.
The Economy mode manages water temperature, filtration and energy
consumption knowing “when” to heat to maintain water temperature.
The conomy mode starts when the heater is turned off and the spa is
not in use.
Upon entering the CONOMY mode the message “ECON” is displayed.
During the conomy mode the spa controller is in stand-by, three hours
at a time, monitoring and sampling the water temperature.
At the end of every conomy period which is 3 hours the controller ac-
tivates the low jets only for 5 minutes to perform the following:
1-Filter and sanitize the water. Check your spa manual for the type of
sanitizer in your spa.
2- Stabilize the water temperature and heat if necessary, in that case the
low jets run more than 5 minutes for the duration of the heating cycle.
Important: Tie down your spa cover to minimize heat loss and to con-
serve energy.
Note: The message “ECON” is not an error code.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS.
NOTICE: All spa electrical wiring must be performed by a qual-
ified licensed electrician and must meet all N C (National lec-
trical Code) and state and local codes and requirements.
DANGER – RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
1. The lines carrying power to the spa must be dedicated to the
spa and should not be shared with any other appliance(s).
2. All electrical wiring lines must originate from the electrical
panel and terminate, hard wired, into the electrical wiring
compartment. The use of extension cords or plug type termi-
nation is expressly prohibited and voids the warranty.
3. Do not use aluminum wiring. Use only copper wiring.
4. Wire gauge must be in accordance with N C requirements for
the distance from current source to spa and the current rating
as stated on the ID label that is attached to the control enclo-
sure.
5. All wiring must be shielded by a grounded metal conduit. The
conduit must terminate at the electrical access compartment
either from the bottom of the spa or through a hole in the side
paneling of the spa.
6. For a 120 volt system the line wire (black) is connected to the
terminal block lug labeled LIN 1. The neutral wire (white) is
connected to the center lug labeled N UT, and the ground wire
(green) is connected to the ground lug labeled G or GROUND.
7. For a 240 volt 4 wire system, connect Line1, Neutral and
Ground wires as in #6 above. The fourth wire is the Line2 wire
(red) and it is connected to the lug labeled LIN 2.
8. For a 240 volt 3 wire system, if applicable, connect black line
wire to LIN 1 terminal, connect red line wire to LIN 2 terminal
and the green wire to the ground lug. There is no neutral.
S TA RT- UP P RO CE D U R E
Once the spa is delivered and the electrical installation accomplished, the next
step is to fill it and heat the water.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended to perform the following procedure when you
drain and refill the spa, to protect the heater element.
• Power must be turned OFF at the circuit breaker and at the G.F.C.I before you start.
• Open the access door and inspect all fittings to be tight and slide-valves fully extended.
• Fill the spa, using your garden-hose, to the proper water level (half way mark on
the skimmer door).
• To apply power, push the R S T (ON) button at the G.F.C.I. & reset Circuit Breaker
to the ON position.
• Push the Jets button at the Spa Side Control Panel activating the high speed
pump. Keep pump running for at least three minutes to purge the air out o the
plumbing.
• Once air bubbles stop coming out of the jets and the pump is primed select the
desired temperature.
IMPORTANT: TURN DOWN TH H AT B FOR YOU DRAIN AND R FILL
YOUR SPA TO PROT CT TH H AT R.
FOR YOU TO KNOW…….!
PSOL or PSOH error codes = NO WAT R PR SSUR
A pressure-switch protects the heater element when the water level drops below
the recommended level. The switch is activated by water pressure in the heater
housing, meaning the pump is running and there is water in the spa.
In a new installation, or when the spa is drained then refilled, a small volume of
air is trapped in the plumbing and in the heater-housing, lowering the pressure,
disabling the pressure-switch, consequently shutting down the heater.
Or, the opposite is also possible, where the trapped air exposes part of the
heater element but not enough to disable the pressure-switch resulting in a
burnt element. To avoid damage to the heater, refer to the start-up procedure.
The filter cartridge(s) must be cleaned periodically. It should be totally sub-
merged. If the top of the cartridge is above water level, air is sucked into the
pump's intake causing pump surges, lower pressure and damage to the heater.

SmartTouch Digital comes with factory settings. Programming the
SmartTouch controller is optional. The following options are nec-
essary only if you have certain requirements or you need to in-
crease the filtration and heating cycles.
Parameter Programming is a means by which the spa owner
/ user can change the various timing elements and calibrate tem-
perature. The process is simple and intuitive. Only 3 keys are
used: UP, DOWN, and S T. To program one or more parameters
follow the outlined this procedure:
1. Press S T and DOWN keys together. The first message
in the menu, FP1 will be displayed.
2. Use the UP & DOWN keys to scroll thru the messages
in the menu.
3. Press the S T key to display the current value
associated with the current message.
4. Use UP or DOWN keys to increase or decrease the value.
5. Press S T to lock in the new value and return to menu.
6. If another item needs programming go to number 2 above.
7. To Save changes scroll to message S ND and press S T.
8. To discard changes and restore previous values scroll
to message CANC and press S T.
The menu of the parameters is circular. Scrolling is from first to
last or from last to first.
When in programming mode please note that this mode will be
cancelled if there is no key activity for a period of 60 consecutive
seconds. Programming mode is aborted and all changes will be
restored to previous values.
On the following page is an example of how to program a filtra-
tion period. When in programming mode you may program as
many parameters as needed.

CALB 198 208 218 This is not a time element. It is one of
the distinctive features of the Smartouch
Control System. The number is internal
and in indicative of what the processor
sees as temperature. It is used to calibrate
the temperature reading. Increase this
value by 1 to decrease the displayed
temperature by 1⁄2a degree. Decrease this
number by 1 to increase displayed
temperature by 1⁄2a degree. For example
the controller is displaying a temperature 2
degrees lower than real temperature
increase the number by 4 to get a correct
reading. The total range of this parameter
is 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Before doing a
calibration Please read warning note at
end of this page.
S ND This menu message has no numerical
value. Pressing S T while it is displayed
records and saves all changes made to all
parameters.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS.
NOTICE: All spa electrical wiring must be performed by a qual-
ified licensed electrician and must meet all N C (National lec-
trical Code) and state and local codes and requirements.
DANGER – RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
1. The lines carrying power to the spa must be dedicated to the
spa and should not be shared with any other appliance(s).
2. All electrical wiring lines must originate from the electrical
panel and terminate, hard wired, into the electrical wiring
compartment. The use of extension cords or plug type termi-
nation is expressly prohibited and voids the warranty.
3. Do not use aluminum wiring. Use only copper wiring.
4. Wire gauge must be in accordance with N C requirements for
the distance from current source to spa and the current rating
as stated on the ID label that is attached to the control enclo-
sure.
5. All wiring must be shielded by a grounded metal conduit. The
conduit must terminate at the electrical access compartment
either from the bottom of the spa or through a hole in the side
paneling of the spa.
6. For a 120 volt system the line wire (black) is connected to the
terminal block lug labeled LIN 1. The neutral wire (white) is
connected to the center lug labeled N UT, and the ground wire
(green) is connected to the ground lug labeled G or GROUND.
7. For a 240 volt 4 wire system, connect Line1, Neutral and
Ground wires as in #6 above. The fourth wire is the Line2 wire
(red) and it is connected to the lug labeled LIN 2.
8. For a 240 volt 3 wire system, if applicable, connect black line
wire to LIN 1 terminal, connect red line wire to LIN 2 terminal
and the green wire to the ground lug. There is no neutral.

Once the spa is delivered and the electrical installation accomplished, the next
step is to fill it and heat the water.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended to perform the following procedure when you
drain and refill the spa, to protect the heater element.
• Power must be turned OFF at the circuit breaker and at the G.F.C.I before you start.
• Open the access door and inspect all fittings to be tight and slide-valves fully extended.
• Fill the spa, using your garden-hose, to the proper water level (half way mark on
the skimmer door).
• To apply power, push the R S T (ON) button at the G.F.C.I. & reset Circuit Breaker
to the ON position.
• Push the Jets button at the Spa Side Control Panel activating the high speed
pump. Keep pump running for at least three minutes to purge the air out o the
plumbing.
• Once air bubbles stop coming out of the jets and the pump is primed select the
desired temperature.
IMPORTANT: TURN DOWN TH H AT B FOR YOU DRAIN AND R FILL
YOUR SPA TO PROT CT TH H AT R.
FOR YOU TO KNOW…….!
PSOL or PSOH error codes = NO WAT R PR SSUR
A pressure-switch protects the heater element when the water level drops below
the recommended level. The switch is activated by water pressure in the heater
housing, meaning the pump is running and there is water in the spa.
In a new installation, or when the spa is drained then refilled, a small volume of
air is trapped in the plumbing and in the heater-housing, lowering the pressure,
disabling the pressure-switch, consequently shutting down the heater.
Or, the opposite is also possible, where the trapped air exposes part of the
heater element but not enough to disable the pressure-switch resulting in a
burnt element. To avoid damage to the heater, refer to the start-up procedure.
The filter cartridge(s) must be cleaned periodically. It should be totally sub-
merged. If the top of the cartridge is above water level, air is sucked into the
pump's intake causing pump surges, lower pressure and damage to the heater.
