26、The product must be permanently connected to the fixed wiring.
27、Parts incorporating electrical components must be located or fixed so that they cannot fall into the bath.
28、The product should be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operated
current not exceeding 30mA.
29、If your SPA is placed in direct sunlight , as possible as you can, please avoid to place it on the glass floor or near
the location of the glass wall , specular reflection effects can lead too high temperature on partial skirt which
will cause skirt deformation.
30. The bearing of the water pumps may get stuck after this SPA hasn’t been used for a long time, so the water
pumps may not working when pressing the water-pump buttons on control panel. If the water pump not
working because of water bearing get stuck, then you can notice that no water current through jets or no
suction- force in the skimmer. Please shut down the power ,open the hem doors, find out the water pumps,
rotate the blade inside water pumps, turn on the power again, activate the water pumps by pressing the water-
pump buttons several times.
31. Sometimes, the water pumps may work or rotate slowly at the beginning and back to normal after working 2-3
seconds. If the water pumps still rotate slowly after 2-3 seconds, please press the water-pump buttons on panel
to re-activate the pumps.
32. When you notice the hum of the water pumps while pumps not working (no water current through jets) and
overheating water pump surface, please shut down power immediately. It results from air kept inside of water
pumps or pipes be block. Please check the water pumps and pipes, fix the problem , and turn on the power
again.
33. During installation of the SPA, please keep the whole construction area clean and clear .No mud or metal be
left beneath the SPA tub body or near the water pumps. Keep sufficient space for dissipating heat of the
working water pumps.

Complete Reference
User Interface and Programming Reference – Standard Menus
System Model: BP-Series Systems are BP5XX, BP6XX, BP1XXX, BP2XXX.
Software Version: 7.0 and later
Panel Model: TP600 Series TP400 Series
Software Version: 2.3 or later 2.4 or later
Navigating the entire menu structure is done with 2 or 3 buttons on the control panel.Some panels have separate
WARM (Up) and COOL (Down) buttons, while others have a single Temperature button. In the navigation
diagramsTemperature buttons are indicated by a single button icon.
Panels that have two Temperature buttons (Warm and Cool) can use both of them to simplify navigation and
programming where a single Temperature icon is shown.The LIGHT Button is also used to choose the various
menus and navigate each section.Typical use of the Temperature button(s) allows changing the Set
Temperature while the numbers are flashing in the LCD.Pressing the LIGHT button while the numbers are
flashing will enter the menus.The menus can be exited with certain button presses. Simply waiting for several
seconds will return the panel operation to normal.
Power-up Screens
Each time the System powers up,
a series of numbers is displayed.
****
Main Screen
While the Temperature is
still flashing, press Light.
Fill it up
Preparation and filling
Fill the spa to its correct operating level. Be sure to open all valves and jets in the plumbing system before filling
to allow as much air as possible to escape from the plumbing and the control system during the filling process.
After turning the power on at the main power panel, the top-side panel will display a splash, or startup screen.
Priming Mode – M019*
The mode will last for 4-5 minutes or you can manually exit the priming mode after the pump(s) have primed.
Regardless of whether the priming mode ends automatically or you manually exit the priming mode,the system
will automatically return to normal heating and filtering at the end of the priming mode.During the priming
mode,the heater is disable to allow the priming process to be completed without the posibility if energizing the
heater under low-flow or no-flow conditions. Nothing comes on automatically, but the pump(s) can be energized
by selecting the “Jet”buttons. If the spa has a Circ Pump, it can be turned on and off by pressing the “Circ
Pump”button during Priming Mode.
Priming the pump
As soon as the Priming Mode screen appears on the panel, select the “Jets 1”button once to start Pump 1 in
low-speed and then again to switch to high-speed. Also, select the other pumps, to turn them on. The pumps
should be running in high-speed to facilitate priming. If the pumps have not primed after 2 minutes, and water is
not flowing from the jets in the spa, do not allow the pumps to continue to run. Turn off the pumps and repeat the
process. Note: Turning the power off and back on again will initiate a new pump priming session. Sometimes
momentarily turning the pump off and on will help it to prime. Do not do this more than 5 times. If the pump(s) will
not prime, shut off the power to the spa and call for service.
Important: A pump should not be allowed to run without priming for more than 2 minutes. Under NO
circumstances should a pump be allowed to run without priming beyond the end of the 4-5 minute priming mode.
Doing so may cause damage to the pump and cause the system to energize the heater and go into an overheat
condition.
Exit Priming Mode
You can manually exit Priming Mode by navigating to the “Back”button on the Priming Mode Screen. Note
that if you do not manually exit the priming mode as described above, the priming mode will be automatically
terminated after 4-5 minutes. Be sure that the pump(s) have been primed by this time.
Once the system has exited Priming Mode, the top-side panel will display the Main Screen, but the display will
not show the temperature yet, as shown below. This is because the system requires approximately 1 minute of
water flowing through the heater to determine the water temperature and display it.
or
*M019 is a Message Code. See Page .
(2)SPA Behaviour
Pump
On the Spa Screen, select a “Jets”button once to turn the pump on or off, and to shift between low- and
high-speeds if equipped. If left running, the pump will turn off after a time-out period. The pump 1 low-speed will
time out after 30 minutes. The high-speed will time-out after 15 minutes.
On non-circ systems, the low-speed of pump 1 runs when the blower or any other pump is on. If the spa is in
Ready Mode, Pump 1 low may also activate for at least 1 minute every 30 minutes to detect the spa temperature
(polling) and then to heat to the set temperature if needed. When the low-speed turns on automatically, it cannot
be deactivated from the panel, however the high speed may be started.
Air Pump
Press the air pump botton “ “ once to turn the device on or off.
Circulation Pump Modes
If the system is equipped with a circ pump, it will be configured to work in one of three different ways:
1, The circ pump operates continuously (24 hours) with the exception of turning off for 30 minutes at a time when
the water temperature reaches 3°F (1.5°C) above the set temperature (most likely to happen in very hot
climates).
2, The circ pump stays on continuously, regardless of water temperature.
3, A programmable circ pump will come on when the system is checking temperature (polling), during filter cycles,
during freeze conditions, or when another pump is on.
The specific Circulation Mode that is used has been determined by the Manufacturer and cannot be changed in
the field.
Other device options may be available, like Blower, Light, Mist, etc.
Filtration and Ozone
On non-circ systems, Pump 1 low and the ozone generator will run during filtration. On circ systems, the ozone
will generally run with the circ pump, but can be limited to filtration cycles.
The system is factory-programmed with one filter cycle that will run in the evening (assuming the time-of-day is
properly set) when energy rates are often lower. The filter time and duration are programmable. A second filter
cycle can be enabled as needed.
At the start of each filter cycle, the water devices like blower, mist device (if these exist) and other pumps will run
briefly to purge the plumbing to maintain good water quality.
Freeze Protection
If the temperature sensors within the heater detect a low enough temperature, then the water devices
automatically activate to provide freeze protection. The water devices will run either continuously or periodically
depending on conditions.
In colder climates, an optional additional freeze sensor may be added to protect against freeze conditions that
may not be sensed by the standard sensors. Auxiliary freeze sensor protection acts similarly except with the
temperature thresholds determined by the switch. See your dealer for details.
Clean-up Cycle(Optional)
When a pump or blower is turned on by a button press, a clean-up cycle begins 30 minutes after the pump or
blower is turned off or times out. The pump and the ozone generator will run for 30 minutes or more, depending
on the system.
(3)Temperature and Temp Range
Adjusting the Set Temperature
When using a panel with Up and Down buttons (Temperature buttons), pressing Up or Down will cause the
temperature to flash. Pressing a temperature button again will adjust the set temperature in the direction
indicated on the button. When the LCD stops flashing, the spa will heat to the new set temperature when
required.
If the panel has a single temperature button, pressing the button will cause the temperature to fl ash. Pressing
the button again will cause the temperature to change in one direction . After allowing the display to stop flashing,
pressing the Temperature Button will cause the temperature to fl ash and the next press will change the
temperature in the opposite direction
The temperature can be set between 60°F and 104°F.
Press-and-Hold
If a Temperature button is pressed and held when the temperature is flashing, the temperature will continue to
change until the button is released. If only one temperature button is available and the limit of the Temperature
Range is reached when the button is being held, the progression will reverse direction.
Dual Temperature Range
This system incorporates two temperature range settings with independent set temperatures. The High Range
designated in the display by an”up” arrow, and the Low Range designated in the display by a “down” arrow.
These ranges can be used for various reasons, with a common use being a “ready to use” setting vs. a
“vacation” setting.
The Ranges are chosen using the menu structure below. Each range maintains its own set temperature as
programmed by the user. This way, when a range is chosen, the spa will heat to the set temperature associated
with that range. High Range can be set between 80º F and 104º F. Low Range can be set between 50º F and
99º F. More specific Temp Ranges may be determined by the Manufacturer.
Freeze Protection is active in either range. See Ready and Rest,for additional heating control information.
(4)Mode–Ready and Rest
In order for the spa to heat, a pump needs to circulate water through the heater. The pump that performs this
function is known as the “heater pump”.
The heater pump can be either a 2-Speed Pump 1 or a circulation pump.
If the heater pump is a 2-Speed Pump 1, READY Mode will circulate water every 1/2 hour, using Pump 1 Low, in
order to maintain a constant water temperature, heat as needed, and refresh the temperature display. This is
known as “polling”.
REST Mode will only allow heating during programmed filter cycles. Since polling does not occur, the
temperature display may not show a current temperature until the heater pump has been running for a minute or
two.
Circulation Mode (under Pumps, for other circulation modes)
If the spa is configured for 24HR circulation, the heater pump generally runs continuously. Since the heater pump
is always running, the spa will maintain set temperature and heat as needed in Ready Mode, without polling.
In Rest Mode, the spa will only heat to set temperature during programmed filter times, even though the water is
being filtered constantly when in Circulation Mode.
Ready-in-Rest Mode
READY/REST appears in the display if the spa is in Rest Mode and Jet 1 is pressed. It is assumed that the spa
is being used and will heat to set temperature. While Pump 1 High can be turned on and off, Pump 1 Low will run
until set temperature is reached, or 1 hour has passed. After 1 hour, the System will revert to Rest Mode. This
mode can also be reset by entering the Mode Menu and changing the Mode.
(5)Show and Set Time-of-Day
Be sure to set the time-of-day
Seting the time-of-day is important for determining filtration times and other back-ground features.
TIME will flash on the display if no time-of-day is set in the memory-24-hour time diaplay can be set under the
PREF menu.
Note:
If power is interrupted to the system, Time-of-Day is not stored. The system will still operate and all other user
settings will be stored. If filter cycles are required to run at a particular time of day, resetting the clock will return
the filter times to the actual programmed periods.
When the system starts up, it defaults to 12:00 Noon, so another way to get filter times back to normal is to start
up the spa at noon on any given day. SET TIME will still flash in the TIME Menu until the time is actually set, but
since the spa started at noon, the filter cycles will run as programmed.
Flip (Invert Display)
Note:
Some panels may have a dedicated FLIP button,
which allows the user to flip the display with a single button-press.
(6)Restricting and Operation
The control can be restricted to prevent unwanted use or temperature adjustment .
Locking the panel prevents the contiroller from being used,but all automatic functions are still active.
Locking the temperature allows JETS1 and JETS2 and other features to be used,but the Set Temperature and
other programmed settings can not be adjusted
Temperature Lock allows access to a reduced selection of menu items.
These include Set Temperature, FLIP, LOCK, UTIL, INFO and FALT LOG.
(7)Unlocking
This unlock sequence may be used from any screen that may be display on a restricted panel.
While pressing and holding the Temperature Button (or UP button, if available),
Slowly press and release the Light Button two times.
NOTE: If the panel has both an UP and a Down button, the ONLY button that will work in the Unlock Sequence is
the UP button.
Hold (Standby)
Hold Mode –M037*
Hold Mode is used to disable the pumps during service functions like cleaning or replacing the filter. Hold Mode will
last for 1 hour unless the mode is exited anually.
Drain Mode
Some spas have a special feature that allows a pump to be employed when draining the water.
When available, this feature is a component of Hold Mode.

(8)Adjusting Filtration
Main Filtration
Filter cycles are set using a start time and a duration. Start time is indicated by “A” or “P” in the bottom right corner
of the display.Duration has no “A” or “P” indication.Each seting can be adjusted in 1-hour increments. The panel
calcualates the end time and display it actomatically.
Filter Cycle 2 - Optional Filtration
Filter Cycle 2 is OFF by default
It is posibble to overlap Filter Cycle 1 and Filter Cycle 2,which will shorten overfall filtration by the overlap amount.
Purge Cycles
In order to maintain sanitary conditions, secondary Pumps and/or a Blower will purge water from their respective
plumbing by running briefly at the beginning of each filter cycle.
If Filter Cycles 1 is set for 24 hours,enabling Filter Cycle 2 will initiate a purge when Filter Cycles 2 is programmed
to begin.
(9)Light Timer Programming

Utilities
Utilities –GFCI Test Feature
Not Available on CE Rated Systems.
A GFCI is an important safety device and is required equipment on a hot tub installation.
Your spa may be equipped with a GFCI Protection feature. (UL rated systems only.) If your spa has this feature
enabled by the manufacturer, the GFCI Trip Test must occur to allow proper spa function.
Within 1 to 7 days after startup, the spa will trip the GFCI to test it. (The number of days is factory programmed.)
The GFCI must be reset once it has tripped. After passing the GFCI Trip Test, any subsequent GFCI trips will
indicate a ground fault or other unsafe condition and the power to the spa must be shut off until a service person
can correct the problem.
Forcing the GFCI Trip Test
The installer can cause the GFCI Trip Test to occur sooner by initiating it using the above menu.
The GFCI should trip within several seconds and the spa 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 spa are wired correctly. Verify the function of
the GFCI with its own test button. Restore power to the spa and repeat the GFCI Trip Test.
Once the GFCI is tripped by the test, reset the GFCI and the spa will operate normally from that point. You can verify
a successful test by navigating to the above menu. PASS should appear after a temp button is pressed from the GFCI
screen.
The end-user must be trained to expect this one-time test to occur and how to properly
reset the GFCI.
Warning:
If freezing conditions exist, a GFCI should be reset immediately or spa damage could result. The end user should
always trained to test and reset the GFCI on a regular basis.
Utilities –Fault Log
A Little History can tell a lot
The Fault Log stores up to 24 events in memory and they can be reviewed under the Fault Log Menu.
Each event captures a Fault Message Code, how many days have passed since the fault, Time of the fault, Set
Temperature during the fault, and Sensor A and B temperatures during the fault.
