Alpinespas HIMALAYA PLATINUM User manual

HIMALAYA PLATINUM - ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
OVERVIEW
ANY ELECTRICAL WIRING WORK MUST BE PERFORMED BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.
The Himalaya Platinum uses two seperate controllers, one for each ‘zone’:
Swim Zone - SpaNet SV3 (32A or 45A)
Spa Zone - SpaNet SV-SMART (15A or 25A)
The two controllers should be supplied by seperate feeds where possible
with seperate isolation switches. This will give the user the ability to disable a
zone individually (e.g drain the spa zone over summer but keep the swim zone
functioning).
The Himalaya Platinum can be setup in different ways depending on how much
power supply is available and also if a heat pump is being used.
The Swim Spa may seem like it requires a lot of power (32A + 15A), however
the Swim Zone will only draw 32A when powering all three swim pumps. On
standby/heating, the Swim Zone will only draw a maximum of 25A, or less than
15A if equipped with a heat pump.
Both controllers can be setup in different ways depending on how much power
supply is available and also if a heat pump is being used. See available setups
on the following page for the list to choose from.

SWIM ZONE SETTINGS
The ‘Circuit Breaker Limit’ (C.LMT) value needs to be set to match the rating of
the circuit breaker that feeds the Swim Zone controller (it is already set to 40A
by default). To update this value, see ‘Touch Panel Input Settings’ on page 3-4
of this document.
SPA ZONE SETTINGS
*We recommend 15A (default setup) for the Spa Zone to keep power draw low
and a 15A cable and plug is already wired to the controller. 15A will load shed
the heater when the main jet pump is turned on. This is generally not an issue
unless customers are in a very cold climate and want to run the spa jet pump
for hours at at time (an unlikely scenario). If the customer requests, you can
change this controller to a 25A setup to avoid load shed:
25A Setup
If you are hardwiring a 25A feed, replace the cable with your own feed as per
the diagram on pages 5-6. Do not alter the dip switch settings. Special settings
need to be applied to the controller via the touch panel, see pages 5-6 for
instructions.
AVAILABLE SETUPS
AMPS Setups Conditions
15A (or 25A) Spa Zone
45A Swim Zone no heat pump
Spa Zone fully functional however 15A setup will load shed heater*
No heating available in Swim Zone when all four pumps are running. This
is okay as heating of water not usually required while exercising.
15A (or 25A) Spa Zone
45A Swim Zone w/ heat pump
Spa Zone fully functional however 15A setup will load shed heater*
No heating available when all three pumps are running. This is okay as
heating of water not usually required while exercising.
15A (or 25A) Spa Zone
55A Swim Zone no heat pump
Spa Zone fully functional however 15A setup will load shed heater*
When running all four pumps there is roughly 10A leftover for heating so
about 1/3 of the power of the 6kW variable heater will engage.
15A (or 25A) Spa Zone
55A Swim Zone w/ heat pump
Spa Zone fully functional however 15A setup will load shed heater*
Enough power available to run the heat pump simultaneously with all
four swim zone pumps.

SWIM ZONE CONTROLLER LOCATION
The below diagrams shows exactly where the swim zone controller is located
within the swim spa (marked X).

TOUCH PANEL INPUT SETTINGS (MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE USE)
Before Powering On
Ensure that the Swim Zone is lled with water before turning on the power. If the
Swim Zone still requires lling, you will need to power on and apply settings with
circulation pump disconnected.
Setting the Circuit Limit
The OEM menu item C.LMT (current limit) should be set to match the rating of
the circuit breaker that feeds the spa pool. In multi phase installations the C.LMT
should be set to match the current limit of Phase 1. To take full advantage of the
variable element and maximise heater power level when spa in manual use the
circuit breaker rating must be programmed correctly. By default, C.LMT is already
pre-set to 40A.
Follow the bellow instructions to set the C.LMT adjustment to match the circuit
breaker rating.

Swim Spa is Empty
Powering on without water in the Swim Spa can damage the pump. To get around
this, disconnect the circulation pump from the controller, then power on.
The system will attempt to prime and will fail (because no pump detected). Once
an error (ER3) shows on touch panel screen, demo mode must be accessed by
pressing ‘PUMP A’ + ‘LIGHT BUTTON’ quickly in succession (not together
at once). Note: See above panel image to locate ‘Pump A’. Once in demo mode,
settings below can be then be applied to the controller and will be saved for when
Swim Spa is lled and powered.
Swim Spa is Filled - Touch Panel & Startup
Once the Swim Spa is lled, locate the touch panel (seen below) and turn power on.
If nothing shows on the display, just power off and back on again (data relay error).
At rst the system will go through a purge cycle which is automatic. This gives the
pump a chance to expel any air left in the pipes.

SPA ZONE CONTROLLER LOCATION
The below diagrams shows exactly where the Spa Zone controller is located
within the swim spa (marked X). A pre-connected 15A cable with plug can be
found coiled inside. If keeping defaut 15A, just plug into a 15A socket and install
is complete.

A 15A cable and plug is already wired to the spa zone controller. If you are
hardwiring a 25A feed, replace the cable with your own feed as per the diagram
below. Do not alter the dip switch settings.

CHANGING TO 25A - TOUCH PANEL INPUT SETTINGS
Before Powering On
Ensure that the Spa Zone is lled with water before turning on the power. If the
Spa Zone still requires lling, you will need to power on and apply settings with
pump-1 disconnected.
Applying Load Shed ‘L.SHD’ Setting for 25A
To setup 25A, Load Shed (L.SHD) must be set to the value of ‘2’ - follow below
instructions.
