IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
MAINTENANCE
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Basic safety precautions should always be followed when operating
and servicing this electrical equipment.
WARNING
: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to
use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
SAFETY FEATURES
HEATER PROTECTION :
A built-inelectronic delay c~rcuitautorr~aticallyruns the f~lterpump for an additional four
minutes whenever the system is turned off.
This feature enables the heater to cool down,so that the heat exchanger and plumbing
are not damaged from overheating.
Fortesting and servicing purposes, itis possible to override this delay circuit bypushing
the DELAY CANCEL Button at the CP-2000 Controller.
POOLCLEANER PROTECTION :
If your system incorporatesan automatic pool cleaner, it will have been plumbed in
conjunction with the filter pumpso that it must have water circulation in order to operate.
The CP-2000incorporates the following protection features against possible pump
damage if there is nowater circulation:
1. Your poolcleaner will automatically be switched off whenever water is being circulated
to the Spa.
2. The filter pumpwill automatically be activated whenever the pool cleaner is running.
even if the filter pumphas not been switched on.
3. Additionally, whenever the pool cleaner is turned on: a built-inelectronic delay circuit
will prevent it from running until4 minutes have passed. This protectsthe pumpfrom
possible damage caused byair which may have entered the plumbing since the
system was last used.
For testing and servicing purposes, itis possibleto override this delaycircuit by
pushingthe DELAY CANCEL Button at the CP-2000 Controller.
4. If your system incorporates solar, the pool cleaner will automatically bedisabled for a
period of
4 minutes whenever the solar system turns on. This protects the pool
cleaner from possible damage caused by residual air within the solar panels.
BATTERY BACK-UP :
In case of a power failure, a long-life battery automatically maintains the program and
clock functions of your Control System This safeguards against the equipment
operating erratically once power has been restored, and also eliminates the need to
reprogram whenever there is a power failure
REPLACING THE BACK-UP BATTERY :
There is a small 3 volt lithium battery located on the backside of the CP-2000Controller.
In the absence of power, this battery will keep the clock running and retain the
programming in memory for approximately
48 hours.
While power is connected to the system, the battery will not be dra~ned.
However. it is not rechargeable.
To replace the battery
:
1. Remove the four mounting screws from CP-2000Controller (2 at each side)
2 Carefullyfold Controller out, still connected to cable.
3. Pry-out old battery from battery clip,and replace it w~tha new one.
Pay special attention to the polarity

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
The CP-2000Controller houses a 24 hour Clock with a digital display, which can be used
to program daily pool filtration, cleaning, and other auxiliary functions such as pool and
spa lights. It can also be used to program and preheat your spa. so that it is ready for
use when you arrive home.
The Clock hastwo operating modes:
1. TlME MODE :
In Time Mode (normaloperation), the Clock will display the actual time of day, and
"TIME'will appear on the right of the Display.
While the Clock is in Time Mode,the poolequipment can be manually activated by
simply pushing the appropriate EquipmentButton (FILTER,CLNR, SPA or AUXI).
This will temporarily override any preset program which may be in effect.
2. PROGRAMMODE :
In order to preselect daily filtration cycles, pool cleaning, spa use,and an auxiliary
function (suchas spa light),the Clock must be switched to Program Mode.
To achieve this, push PROGRAM Button once.
Whenever Clock is in Program Mode, "PROGwill appear on the right of the Display.
After programming iscomplete, the Clock will automatically return to Time Mode.
SETTING THE CLOCK
If the Clock is not already in Time Mode,push PROGRAMButton until "TIME appears on
the right of the Display.
This indicates that the Clock is in Time Mode.
Push the HOURSand MINUTESButtons until
A 1
the correct time of day is displayed
Payspecial attention to the AM/PM indicator.
PROGRAMMINGDAILY OPERATING CYCLES :
Programming the daily operating cycles of your pool equipment is a "set and forget"
procedure,which is normally implemented by your Pool Builder at the completion of the
installation.
Most systems only requirethat you program the filtration and (in some cases) the
cleaning cycles of the pool. However, it is possible to program the spa (if you plan to use
it at the same time every day),and also AUXl (if you are using this circuit to activate
lights or some other equipment which you wish to operate at the same times every day).
It is possible to preset six program steps during a 24 hour period.
Each of the six steps can be used for turning equipment ON or OFF.
Morethan one piece of equipment can be turned ON or OFF at each program step.
However,to turn the same piece of equipment ON and OFF requires two program steps
Oncethe programming is complete, the pool and spa equipment will operate at the
same times every day.
Before commencing programming, itisadvisableto determine at what time you would
likethe equipment to turn on, andfor how longyou would like each pieceof equipment
to run.
To better understandthe programming sequence, let's follow a sample program,step by
step. For demonstration purposes, our example assumes that we would like to activate
all four pieces of equipment on a daily basis, as follows
:
Filter the poolfrom 7:00 am until 12:00 pm.
Turnthe poolcleaner on from 10:00 amuntil 12:00pm.
Turn the spaonfrom 6:30 pmuntil8:00 pm.
Turn auxiliary 1 (spa light) onfrom 6:30 pmto 10:00 pm.
To begin programming,push PROGRAMButtononce.

SYSTEM OPTIONS
TWO SPEED PUMP CONTROL :
If your system incorporates a Two Speed Filter Pump, the CP-2000has been designed to
provideyou with the maximum energy-efficient usage of this feature.
Although your Pool Builder may have adjusted the two speed control circuitry to your
specific requirements,the CP-2000typically switches the pumpto high speed under any
of the following conditions:
1. Fortwo minuteswhen the filter isfirst turned on. This features establishes proper flow
through the system, and packs the filter grids. After two minutes, the pump will
automatically switch to low speed.
2. Wheneverthe poolcleaner isrunning. This provides sufficient flow for the pool
cleaner to operate effectively.
3. During spa operation to increasethe jet action.
4. Wheneverthe heater ison. This feature will conserve energy by bringing your pool
and spa up to the desired temperature more quickly.
5. Whenever your solar system isoperating. This provides high flow rate through your
solar panels,which ensures the most efficient usage of the available solar energy.
SPA WATERFALL CONTROL :
If your spa water level is elevated above that of the pool,your Pool Builder may have
included a Spa Waterfall Control (model RLY-WRFL).
With this feature, you can circulate the pool water back to the spa, creating an overflow
(waterfall effect) from the spa to the pool. This effect will cease during spa circulation.
Depending upon which circuit has been used to connect the Spa Waterfall Control,either
the AUX1. AUX2 or AUX3 Button will activate this feature.
FREEZE PROTECTION :
Recirculating Freeze Sensors (modelFPSC)may have been added to your system.
These Sensors protect the plumbing and equipment from possible freeze damage by
running the filter pump whenever the temperature falls to approximately 41" F.
Similarly,Auxiliary Pump Freeze Sensors (modelFPSAUX) may have been added to
activate auxiliary equipment (such as a fountain or jet pump) during freezing conditions.
CAUTION
: FreezeSensorswill not provide circulation of water through your solar panels.
Solar freeze protection must be accomplished by draining the panels. (See below).
SOLAR PANELDRAINDOWN :
Ifyour control system incorporatessolar heating, it is advisable that a draindown feature
be included to protect the solar panels against potential freeze damage.
For conventional solar systems which permit gravity drainage of panels, the Compool
Solar Valve with built-in check valve (model SOL-2T)will automatically drain the panels
whenever the solar turns off and the filter pump is not running.
For solar systems with glazed panels. damage can occur from overheating ifthe solar
turns off and the filter pumw is still running.
In this instance, a motorized Draindown Valve (modelHW-5B)should be plumbed at the
solar feedline. This will automatically drain the panels whenever the solar is turned off,
even if the filter pump is still running.
This feature may also be incorporated if your solar system does not facilitate gravity
drainage of panels,or where panels are located below pool water level.
