TP600 Control PANEL

__________________________________________________________________

NOTE: The look of your topside control panel design and buttons will vary according to

brand and features available on your spa. See table below for pictures and explanation of

TP 00 Control Panel button functions.

FILLING YOUR SPA

PREPARATION AND FILLING

Fill the spa 5-6” (13-15cm) below the lip of the spa. Open all valves and jets in the plumbin system before fillin to allow as much air as possible to

escape from the plumbin and the control system durin the fillin process.

PRIMING MODE

This mode will last 4-5 minutes or you can manually exit the primin mode after the pump(s) have primed. Re ardless of whether the primin mode

ends automatically or you manually exit the primin mode, the system will automatically return to normal heatin and filterin at the end of the

primin mode. Durin the primin mode, the heater is disabled to allow the primin process to be completed without the possibility of ener izin the

heater under low-flow/no-flow conditions. Nothin comes on automatically, but the pump(s) can be ener ized by pushin the “Jet” buttons. If the spa

has a Circ Pump, it can be activated by pressin the “Li ht” button durin Primin Mode.

PRIMING THE PUMPS

After the display has one throu h screens:

push “Jet” button once to start Pump 1 in low-speed and a ain to switch to hi h-speed. Push the Pump 2 button (if you have a 2nd pump) to turn it on.

The pumps will not be runnin in hi h-speed to facilitate primin . If the pumps have not primed after 2 minutes, and water is not flowin from the jets

in the spa, turn off the pumps and repeat.

NOTE: Turnin the power off/on a ain will initiate a new pump primin session. Sometimes turnin the pump off/on helps it to prime. If the pumps will

not prime after 5 times, turn power off and call for service.

IMPORTANT: A pump should not be allowed to run without primin for more than 2 minutes. Under NO circumstances should a pump be allowed to

run without primin beyond the end of the 4-5 minute primin mode. Doin so may cause dama e to the pump and cause the system to ener ize the

heater and o into an overheat condition.

EXITING PRIMING MODE

Manually exit Primin Mode by pressin either Temperature button. If you do not manually exit the primin mode, it 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 Primin Mode, the top-side panel will momentarily display the set temperature

but the display will not show the temperature yet because the system requires

approximately 1 minute of water flowin throu h the heater to determine the water temperature and display it accurately.

SPA B EHA VIOR

Pumps

Press the “JETS 1” button once to turn pump 1 on or off, and to shift between low- and hi h-speeds if equipped. If left runnin , the pump will turn off

after a time-out period. The pump 1 low-speed will time out after 30 minutes. The hi h-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 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 hi h speed may be started.

Circulation Pump Modes

The circ pump (if your spa is equipped with one) operates continuously (24 hours) with the exception of turnin 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).

Filtration and Ozone

On non-circ systems, Pump 1 low and the ozone enerator will run durin filtration. On circ systems, the ozone will run with

the circ pump.

The system is factory-pro rammed with one filter cycle that will run in the evenin (assumin the time-of-day is properly

set) when ener y rates are often lower. The filter time and duration are pro rammable. A second filter cycle can be enabled as needed.

At the start of each filter cycle, the blower (if there is one) or Pump 2 (if there is one) will run briefly to pur e its plumbin to maintain ood water

quality.

Freeze Protection

If the temperature sensors within the heater detect a low enou h temperature, the pump(s) and the blower automatically

activate to provide freeze protection. The pump(s) and blower will run either continuously or periodically dependin

on conditions.

In colder climates, an optional additional freeze sensor may be added to protect a ainst 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 off by a button press or after it has timed out, a clean-up cycle runs for 30 minutes. Pump 1 on Low Speed and the

ozone enerator will run for the set time.. The pump and the ozone enerator will run for 30 minutes or more, dependin on the system. On some

systems, you can chan e this settin .

TEMPERAT URE & T E MP RANGE

Adjusting the Set Temperature

Pressin Up or Down temperature buttons will cause the temperature to flash. Pressin a temperature button a ain will adjust the set temperature in

the direction indicated on the button. When the LCD stops flashin , the spa will heat to the new set temperature.

Press-and-Hold

If a Temperature button is pressed and held when the temperature is flashin , the temperature will continue to chan e

until the button is released.

Dual Temperature Ranges

This system incorporates two temperature ran e settin s with independent set temperatures. The Hi h Ran e desi nated in

the display by an “up” arrow, and the Low Ran e desi nated in the display by a “down” arrow.

These ran es can be used for various reasons, with a common use bein a “ready to use” settin vs. a “vacation” settin .

The Ran es are chosen usin the menu structure below. Each ran e maintains its own set temperature as pro rammed by

the user. This way, when a ran e is chosen, the spa will heat to the set temperature associated with that ran e.

For example:

Hi h Ran e may be set between 80°F - 104°F (26˚-40˚C).

Low Ran e may be set between 50°F - 99°F (10˚-26˚C).

Freeze Protection is active in either ran e.

MODE - REST AN D READY

In order for the spa to heat, a pump needs to circulate water throu h 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, usin Pump 1 Low, in order to

maintain a constant water temperature, heat as needed, and refresh the temperature display. This is known as “pollin .”

REST Mode will only allow heatin durin pro rammed filter cycles. Since pollin does not occur, the temperature display

may not show a current temperature until the heater pump has been runnin for a minute or two.

Circulation Mode

If the spa is confi ured for 24HR circulation, the heater pump enerally runs continuously. Since the heater pump is always runnin , the spa will

maintain set temperature and heat as needed in Ready Mode, without pollin .

In Rest Mode, the spa will only heat to set temperature durin pro rammed filter times, even thou h the water is bein 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 the spa is bein used and will heat to set temperature.

While Pump 1 Hi h 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 enterin the Mode Menu and chan in it.

SHO W & S E T T IME-O F - DAY

Settin the time-of-day can be important for determinin filtration times and other back round features. From the main menu, activate the

temperature flashin . While the temperature is flashin , press “Li ht” repeatedly until “TIME” is displayed on the screen. Proceed to set current time

usin the up and down temperature buttons. When in the TIME menu, SET TIME will flash on the display if no time-of-day is set in the memory. 24-hour

time display 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 settin s will be stored. If filter

cycles are required to run at a particular time of day, resettin the clock will return the filter times to the actual pro rammed periods. When the system

starts up, it defaults to 12:00 Noon, so another way to et filter times back to normal is to start up the spa at noon on any iven 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 pro rammed.

FLIP (INVERT DIS P LA Y )

From the main screen, activate the temperature flashin . While the temperature is flashin , press “Li ht” repeatedly until “FLIP” is displayed on the

screen. While “FLIP” is displayed, press either the up or down temperature button to invert the screen. Follow the same procedures to flip it back.

RE S T RICTING OPERATIO N

The control can be restricted to prevent unwanted use or temperature adjustments.

From the main screen, activate temperature flashin . While temperature is flashin , press “Li ht” repeatedly until “LOCK” appears on the screen.

Pressin the temperature up button allows you to to le throu h “TEMP”, “OFF” and “ON”.

“TEMP” allows you to lock the temp./settin s.

“ON” allows you to lock all settin s/functions.

“OFF” does not lock the spa.

UN LOCKING

This Unlock sequence may be used from any screen that may be displayed on a restricted panel.While pressin and holdin the Temperature Up

button, slowly press the Li ht button twice. “UNLK” will display on the screen and after a few seconds, will revert to main screen.

ADJ US T ING FILTRATIO N

Main Filtration

Filter cycles are set usin a start time and a duration. Start time is indicated by an “A” or “P” in the bottom ri ht corner of the display.

Duration has no “A” or “P” indication. Each settin can be adjusted in 15-minute increments. The panel calculates the end time and

displays it automatically.

To enter filter cycles, activate temperature flashin and press the “Li ht” button repeatedly until the display reads “FLTR” (with a 1 in

the bottom ri ht corner). Pressin the Li ht button will brin you to the display “BEGN”. The numbers flashin indicate numbers that

can be chan ed. Scroll throu h with the up and down temperature buttons to choose what time your filter cycle will start and press

the Li ht button to make your choice. “RUN” “HRS” will be on the display next. A ain, scroll throu h the numbers to choose the

duration of your filter cycle.

Filter Cycle 2 - Optional Filtration

Follow the same procedures under “FLTR” (with a 2 in the bottom ri ht corner) to set up filter cycle 2.

It is possible to overlap Filter Cycle 1 and Filter Cycle 2, which will shorten overall filtration by the overlap amount.

Purge Cycles

In order to maintain sanitary conditions, secondary Pumps and/or a Blower will pur e water from their respective plumbin by runnin briefly at the

be innin of each filter cycle.

If Filter Cycle 1 is set for 24 hours, enablin Filter Cycle 2 will initiate a pur e when Filter Cycle 2 is pro rammed to be in.

TP800 Control PANEL

__________________________________________________________________

NOTE: The look of your topside control panel design and buttons will vary according to brand and features available on your spa. See table

below for pictures and explanation of TP800 Control Panel button functions.

THE MAIN S C REEN

SPA STATUS

Important information about spa operation can be seen quickly from the Main Screen.

The most important features, includin Set Temperature adjustment, can be accessed from this screen. The actual water temperature can be seen in

lar e text and the desired, or Set Temperature, can be selected and adjusted. Time-of-day, Ozone operation and Filter Operation status is available,

alon with other messa es and alerts. Hi h Temperature Ran e vs. Low Temperature Ran e is indicated in the upper ri ht corner. The Jets Icon in the

center will li ht up if any pump is runnin and chan es color when the heater is on. A Lock icon is visible if the panel or settin s are locked. The Menu

choices on the ri ht can be selected and the screen will chan e to show more detailed controls or functions.

NAVIGATION

Navi atin the entire menu structure is done with 5 buttons on the control panel. When a text item chan es to white durin navi ation, that indicates

the item is selected for action.

Operatin or chan in a selected item is enerally done with the center or “Select” button. The only item that can be chan ed on the left side of the

Main Screen is the Set Temperature. Press the Left Arrow button

to chan e the Set Temperature number to white. The Set Temperature can then be adjusted with the up and down buttons.

Pressin the Select button or the Ri ht Arrow button will save the new set temperature.

On the ri ht side of the screen, the menu selections can be selected with the Up and Down Buttons. Use the Select Button

to choose an item. Selectin one of these items will chan e to a different screen with additional controls.

MESSAGES

At the bottom of the screen, messa es may appear at various times. Some of these messa es must be dismissed by the user.

PRESS-AND-HOLD

If an Up or Down button is pressed and held when the Set Temperature is selected, the temperature will continue to chan e

until the button is released, or the Temperature Ran e limits are reached.

SPA & SHORTCUT SCREEN S

ALL EQUIPMENT ACCESS

The Spa Screen shows all available equipment to control, as well as other features, like Invert, in one easy-to-navi ate screen. The display shows icons

that are related to the equipment installed on a particular spa model. The navi ation buttons are used to select an individual device. The device that is

chosen is hi hli hted with a white outline and the text under the icon chan es to white. Once a device is selected, it can be controlled usin the center

Select Button. Some devices have low and hi h settin s which have different icons for low and hi h speed indicators.

If the Spa has a Circ Pump, a Circ Pump Icon will appear to indicate its activity, but outside of Primin Mode, the Circ Pump cannot be controlled

directly.

NOTE: The icon for the pump that is associated with the heater (Circ or P1 Low) will have a red low in the center when the

heater is runnin .

ONE-PRESS ACTIVATION

The Shortcut Screen requires no navi ation. Each button is fixed on a specific fuction and can be used as a very simple user interface for the spa.

THE SETT INGS SCREEN

PRESSING A “BUTTON”

When instructions are iven to “press a button” any of the followin can be done:

• Navi ate to the desired item on any Screen. When the desired item is hi hli hted, press the Select Button.

• Press the button for that device while on the Shortcuts Screen, if the device is one of the 4 functions available.

PROGRAMMING, ETC.

The Settin s Screen is where all pro rammin and other spa behaviors are controlled. This screen has several features that can be acted on directly.

These features include Temp Ran e, Heat Mode, and Invert Panel. When one of these items is hi hli hted, the Select Button is used to to le between

two settin s.

All other menu items (with an arrow pointin to the ri ht) o to another level in the menu.

PRESS-AND-HOLD

If an Up or Down button is pressed and held when an item in a Menu List is hi hli hted, the list can be scrolled quickly from top to bottom. The scroll

bar on the ri ht side of the screen indicates the relative position of the hi hli hted item in the list.

DUAL TEMPERATURE RANGES

This system incorporates two temperature ran e settin s with independent set temperatures. The specific ran e can be selected on the Settin s screen and

is visible on the Main Screen in the upper ri ht corner of the display.

These ran es can be used for various reasons, with a common use bein a “ready to use” settin vs. a “vacation” settin .

Each ran e maintains its own set temperature as pro rammed by the user. This way, when a ran e is chosen, the spa will heat to the set temperature

associated with that ran e.

Hi h Ran e may be set between 80°F - 104°F (26˚-40˚C).

Low Ran e may be set between 50°F - 99°F (10˚-26˚C).

Freeze Protection is active in either ran e.

HEAT MODE - READY VS. REST

In order for the spa to heat, a pump needs to circulate water throu h the heater. The pump that performs this function is known as the “heater pump.” The

heater pump can be either a 2-speed pump (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, usin Pump 1 Low, in order to maintain a constant water temperature, heat as needed, and refresh the temperature display. This is known as

“pollin .” REST Mode will only allow heatin durin pro rammed filter cycles. Since pollin does not occur, the temperature display may not show a current

temperature until the heater pump has been runnin for a minute or two. While Pump 1 Hi h can be turned on and off, Pump 1 Low will run until set

temperature is reached, or 1 hour has passed.

CIRCULATION MODE

If the spa is confi ured for 24HR circulation, the heater pump enerally runs continuously. Since the heater pump is always runnin , the spa will

maintain set temperature and heat as needed in Ready Mode, without pollin . In Rest Mode, the spa will only heat to set temperature durin

pro rammed filter times, even thou h the water is bein filtered constantly when in Circulation Mode.

READY-IN-REST MODE

READY/REST appears in the display if the spa is in Rest Mode and the Jets 1 Button is pressed. It is assumed that the spa is bein used and will heat to

set temperature. While Pump 1 Hi h 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 enterin the Settin s Menu and chan in the Heat Mode.

FILL ING YOUR SPA

PREPARATION AND FILLING

Fill the spa 5-6” below the lip of the spa. Be sure to open all valves and jets in the plumbin system before fillin to allow as much air as possible to

escape from the plumbin and the control system durin the fillin process.

After turnin the power on at the main power panel, the top-side panel will display a splash, or startup screen.

PRIMING MODE

After the initial start-up sequence, the control will enter Primin Mode and display a Primin Mode screen. Only pump icons appear on the primin

mode screen. The system will automatically return to normal heatin and filterin at the end of the primin mode, which lasts 4-5 minutes. Durin the

primin mode, the heater is disabled to allow the primin process to be completed without the possibility of ener izin the heater under low-flow or

no-flow conditions. Nothin comes on automatically, but the pump(s) can be ener ized by selectin the “Jet” buttons. Manually exit Primin Mode by

pressin the “Exit” Button.

PRIMING THE PUMPS

As soon as the Primin Mode screen appears on the panel, select the “Jets 1” button once to start Pump 1 in low-speed and then a ain to

switch to hi h-speed. Also, select the other pumps to turn them on. The pumps should be runnin in hi h-speed to facilitate primin . If the pumps

have not primed after 2 minutes, and water is not flowin from the jets in the spa, do not allow the pumps to continue to run. Turn off the pumps and

repeat.

Note: Turnin the power off and back on a ain will initiate a new pump primin session.

Sometimes momentarily turnin 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 primin for more than 2 minutes. Under NO circumstances should a pump be allowed to run

without primin beyond the end of the 4-5 minute primin mode. Doin so may cause dama e to the pump and cause the system to ener ize the

heater and o into an overheat condition.

EXITING PRIMING MODE

You can manually exit Primin Mode by navi atin to the “Back” button on the Primin Mode Screen. If you do not manually exit the primin mode, it

will terminate after 4-5 minutes. Once the system has exited Primin Mode, the top-side panel will display the Main Screen, but the display will not

show the temperature yet because the system requires approximately 1 minute of water flowin throu h the heater to determine the water

temperature.

SPA B EHA VIOR

PUMPS

On the Spa Screen, select a “Jets” button once to turn the pump on or off, and to shift between low- and hi h-speeds if equipped. If left runnin , the

pump will turn off after a time-out period. The pump 1 low-speed will time out after 30 minutes. The hi h-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 (pollin ) 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 hi h speed may be started.

CIRCULATION PUMP MODES

The circ pump operates continuously (24 hours) with the exception of turnin 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).

FILTRATION AND OZONE

On non-circ systems, Pump 1 low and the ozone enerator will run durin filtration. On circ systems, the ozone will enerally run with the circ pump,

but can be limited to filtration cycles. The system is factory-pro rammed with one filter cycle that will run in the evenin (assumin the time-of-day is

properly

set) when ener y rates are often lower. The filter time and duration are pro rammable.

A second filter cycle can be enabled as needed. At the start of each filter cycle, the water devices like blower and other pumps will run briefly to pur e

the plumbin to maintain ood water quality.

FREEZE PROTECTION

If the temperature sensors within the heater detect a low enou h temperature, then the water devices automatically activate to provide freeze

protection. The water devices will run either continuously or periodically dependin on conditions. In colder climates, an optional additional freeze

sensor may be added to protect a ainst 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 off by a button press or after it has timed out, a clean-up cycle runs for 30 minutes. Pump 1 on Low Speed and the

ozone enerator will run for the set time. The pump and the ozone enerator will run for 30 minutes or more.

TIM E - OF-DA Y

Settin the time-of-day is important for determinin filtration times and other back round features. “Set Time” will appear on the display if no time-of-

day is set in the memory. On the Settin s Screen, select the Time-of-Day line. On the Time-of-Day screen, simply navi ate ri ht and left to select the

Hour, Minutes, AM/PM and 12/24 Hour se ments. Use the Up and Down Buttons to make chan es.

SAVING SETTINGS

The Time-of-Day screen is a simple, editable screen that illustrates a feature of the control that applies to all other editable screens as well. When

chan es are made, the icon to o “Back” chan es to “Save” and a new icon for “Cancel” appears under the Save icon. Navi atin to the left will

hi hli ht the Save icon, and navi atin down from there will allow the user to cancel the pendin chan e. Pressin the “Select” button will save or

cancel the chan es and o back to the previous screen.

NOTE: If power is interrupted to the system, you may have to reset your spa’s time.

ADJ US T ING FILTRATIO N

MAIN FILTRATION

Usin the same navi ation and adjustment as Settin the Time, Filter Cycles are set usin a start time and a duration. Each settin can be adjusted in

15-minute increments. The panel calculates the end time and displays it automatically.

FILTER CYCLE 2 - OPTIONAL FILTRATION

Simply navi ate to the Filter Cycle 2 line by pressin the Ri ht Navi ation Button, and when “NO” is hi hli hted, press Up or Down to to le Filter

Cycle 2 on and off. When Filter Cycle 2 is ON, it can be adjusted in the same manner as Filter Cycle1 by navi atin to the ri ht. It is possible to overlap

Filter Cycle 1 and Filter Cycle 2.

CIRCULATION PUMP MODES

Some spas may be manufactured with Circ Pump settin s that allow pro rammin filtration cycle duration. Some circ Modes are pre-pro rammed to

operate 24 hours a day and are not pro rammable.

PURGE CYCLES

In order to maintain sanitary conditions, as well as protect a ainst freezin , secondary water devices will pur e water from their respective plumbin by

runnin briefly at the be innin of each filter cycle.

If the Filter Cycle 1 duration is set for 24 hours, enablin Filter Cycle 2 will initiate a pur e when Filter Cycle 2 is pro rammed to be in.

RE S T RICTING OPERATIO N

The control can be restricted to prevent unwanted use or temperature adjustments.

Lockin the Panel prevents the controller from bein used, but all automatic functions are still active. Lockin the Settin s allows Jets and other

features to be used, but the Set Temperature and other pro rammed settin s

cannot be adjusted. Settin s Lock allows access to a reduced selection of menu items. These include Set Temperature, Invert, Lock, Utilities, Information

and Fault Lo . They can be seen, but not chan ed or edited.

UN LOCKING

An Unlock Sequence usin the navi ation buttons can be used from the Lock Screen. The Unlock Sequence is the same for both Panel Lock and

Settin s Lock. Press the followin buttons: SELECT - SELECT - DOWN ARROW.

SCE N E S

Your TP800 control has an icon labeled “Scenes” that is not enabled. Future versions of your spa’s software may contain functionality related to the

Scenes settin s, but please disre ard this icon unless you receive notification from your dealer otherwise.

COLOR AND LANGUAGE

By pressin the Select button, you can chan e the color and the lan ua e.

GF CI TEST FE ATURE

The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is an important safety device and is required

equipment on hot tub installations in North America. Used for verifyin a proper

installation, the GFCI Trip Test must occur to allow proper spa function. Within 7 days after startup, the spa will trip the GFCI to test it. The GFCI must be

reset once it has tripped. After passin the GFCI Trip Test, the spa will

operate normally.
