Prolonged immersion inhotwater may inducehyperthermia.
Hyperthermiaoccurs when the internaltemperature ofthe body reaches a level several
degrees above the normalbodytemperature of 98.6"
F.
The symptoms of hyperthermiaincludedizziness,fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an
increase inthe internaltemperature of the body.
The effects of hyperthermiainclude:
1) unawareness of impendinghazard;2) failureto
perceive heat;
3) failureto recognizethe needto exit the spa; 4) physicalinabilityto exit
the spa;
5) fetal damage in pregnant women; and 6) unconsciousness,resultingin a
danger of drowning.
WARNING: The useof alcohol, drugs or medication cangreatly increasethe risk
of fatal hyperthermia inhottubs and spas.
The water in a spa or hottub should never exceed 1040 F.
Water temperatures between 1 OOo F. and 1040 F. are considered safe for a healthy
adult. Lower temperaturesare recommendedfor extended use (exceeding
15 minutes)
and for young children.
Beforeenteringthe spa, the user should always check the water temperaturewith an
accuratethermometer.
Since excessivewater temperatures have a high potentialfor fetal damage dl~ringthe
early monthsof pregnancy, pregnant or possibly-pregnantwomen should limit spa
water temperaturesto
100" F.
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medicationbeforeor during spa use may leadto
unconsciousnesswith the possibility of drowning.
Personssufferingfrom obesity or with a medicalhistoryof heartdisease, low or high
blood pressure,circulatorysystem problems,or diabetes should consult a physicia~i
beforeusingthe spa.
Persons using medicationshould also consult a physiciar~before usingthe spa, since

INTRODUCTION
The CP-1000is an electronic control systemwhich is designedto coordinateand operate all of the equipment
associatedwith your spa or swimming pool.
The system iscomprisedof two principalcomponents:the CP-1000 CONTROLLER which is locatedinsideyour
house, andthe LX-1000POWER CENTERwhich islocatedat the poolequipment pad.
The Controllerautomatically controlsand monitorswater temperatureand the timing of allthe poolequipment.
The Power Center provideseasy maintenancefor your Pool Serviceperson.
Additionally,the CP-1000incorporatesimportantsafetyfeatureswhich protectyour poolequipmentfrom
accidentaldamage.
Your system mayalso includeadditional RemoteControls,solar heating, and special optionswhich further add to
the convenience, safety,and economy of operatingyour spa or swimming pool.
SAFETY FEATURES
HEATER PROTECTION:
A built-inelectronic delay circuit automatically runsthe filter pumpfor anadditionalfour minuteswhenever the
system isturned off. This feature enablesthe heater tocooldown, so that the heat exchangerand plumbingare
not damagedfrom overheating.
Fortesting and servicing purposes, it is possibleto overridethis delay circuit by pushingthe DELAY
CANCEL Buttonat the CP-1000 Controller.
POOLCLEANER PROTECTION:
Ifyour system incorporatesa poolcleaner pump, it will have been plumbeddownstreamof the filter pump.
This arrangement requiresthat the filter pump be runningwhenever the pool cleaner is on.
The CP-1000 incorporates the following protectionfeatures against possiblepumpdamage if there is nowater
circulation:
1. The filter pumpwill automatically be activatedwhenever the pool cleaner is running,even if the filter has not
beenswitched on.
2. Additionally, whenever the pool cleaner isturned on, a built-inelectronic delay circuitwill prevent it from
running until
4 minuteshave passed. This preventsthe pumpfrom possibledamage caused byair which may
have enteredthe plumbingsince the systemwas last used.
Fortesting and servicing purposes, it is possibletooverridethis delay circuit bypushingthe DELAY
CANCEL Buttonat the CP-1000Controller.
3. Ifyour systemincorporatessolar, the poolcleanerwill automaticallybedisabledfor a periodof 4 minutes
whenever the solar systemturnson. This protectsthe poolcleanerfrom possibledamage caused by residual
air withinthe solar panels.
BATTERY BACK-UP:
Incase of a powerfailure, a long-lifebatteryautomatically maintainsthe program and clockfunctions of your
ControlSystem. This safeguardsagainst the equipment operating erratically,once power has been restored,and
alsoeliminatesthe needto reprogramwhenever there is a power failure.

CONTROLLER
Installed ina convenient locationinsideyour house, the CP-1000CONTROLLER gives you fingertipcontrol ofall
the equipment associatedwithyour swimming pool or spa.

EQUIPMENTCONTROL:
The Controller housesa 24 hour Clock with a digitaldisplay,which is usedto programdailyfiltration cyclesand
auxiliary equipment (suchas pumpsand lights).
There are five
Equipment Buttons which are usedfor switchingthe poolequipment ON or OFF:
FILTER Button: Activatesfilter pump, and circulates water throughthefiltration and heatingsystem.
Enableswater to be heated.
AUX 1 Button:
Activates auxiliary 1equipment (suchas spa light or pool cleaner).
Note: If poolcleaner is used, itwill bedelayedfor 4 minuteswhenever it isactivated,and
it will also automaticallyactivatethe filter pump (evenif FIIXER Button is not switchedON).

VALVE OPERATORS:
Your controlsystemis designedto activatean optional motorized solar valve (modelVOR-24),which
automaticallydivertstheflow of water through your solar panelswhenever solar energy is available.
Your system mayalso includeadditionalmotorizedvalvesfor custom hydraulicapplications,such as afountain or
waterfall, or (inlieuof a boosterpump)for your poolcleaner.
TWO SPEED PUMPCON'TROL:
If your system incorporatesatwo speed filter pump,the CP-1000has beendesignedto provideyouwith the
maximum energy-efficientusage of this feature.
Although your Pool Builder may have adjustedthetwo speed control circuitryto your specific requirements,the
CP-1000will typicallyrunthefilter pumpat low speed during normaloperation, but automaticallyswitchthe pump
to highspeed underany of thefollowing conditions:
1. Forfour minuteswhen thefilter pumpisfirst turned on. This feature establishesproperflow throughthe
system, and packsthe filter grids. After four minutes,the pumpwill automaticallyswitchto low speed.
2. Whenever your solar system isoperating. This provides highflow ratethroughyour solar panelswhich
ensuresthe most efficient usageof the available solar energy.
3. Whenever auxiliary 1 isrunning.
If AUX 1is used for a poolcleaner,this provides sufficientflowfor the pool cleanertooperate effectively.
If AUX
1 is used for ajet pump,this will provideadditionaljet actionduringspa use.
4. Wheneverthe heater ison. This featurewill conserve energy by bringingthe water uptothe desired
temperature more quickly.
FREEZE PROTECTION:
A recirculatingfreezesensor (model FPS-C) may have beenaddedtoyour controlsystem. It protectsthe
plumbingand equipment from possiblefreeze damage by runningthe filter pumpwhenever thetemperature falls
to approximately41
" F.
Similarly,an auxiliary pumpfreeze sensor (model FPS-AUX) may be added toactivateauxiliary equipment (such
as afountain or jet pump)duringpotential freezing conditions.
CAUTION: Freezesensors will not provide circulation of water through your solar panels.
Solar freeze protectionmust beaccomplished bydraining the panels. (See below).
SOLAR PANEL DRAINDOWN:
If your controlsystem incorporatessolar heating, it is advisablethat a draindownfeature be added to protect
against possiblefreeze damage.
For conventionalsolar systems which permit gravity drainage of panels,a panel drain-downkit (model PDD-K)
may beadded. This will enable your solar panels toautomatically drainwhenever thefilter pump is not running.
For solar systems with glazed panels, damage can occur from overheatiqgif the solar turns off and thefilter pump
is still running. Inthis instance,adraindownvalve (model HW-SB) should be plumbedat the solar feed line.
This will automaticallydrain your solar panelswhenever the solar isturned off, even if the filter pump is still
running.
This feature mayalso be incorporatedif your solar systemdoes not facilitategravity drainage of panels, or where
panelsare located below poolwater level.
Consult your Solar Company for moredetails.
