Spa operation - VL404 Control Pad
START UP
When your spa is first actuated, it will go into Priming mode, indicat-
ed by “Pr.” The Priming mode will last for less than 5 minutes (press
“Temp” to skip Priming Mode) and then the spa will begin to heat
and maintain the water temperature in the Standard mode.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
Temp/Set (80°F - 104°F / 26°C - 40°C)
The start-up temperature is set at 100F°/37°C. The last measured
temperature is constantly displayed on the LCD.
Note that the last measured spa temperature displayed is
current only when the pump has been running for at least 2
minutes.
To display the set temperature, press the “Temp” pad once. To
change the set temperature, press the pad a second time before the
LCD stops flashing. Each press of the “Temp” pad will continue to
either raise or lower the set temperature. If the opposite direction
is desired, release the pad and let the display revert to the current
water temperature. Press the pad to display the set temperature, and
again to make the temperature change in the desired direction. After
three seconds, the LCD will stop flashing and display the current spa
temperature.
Note: If there is not a blower on the system, an alternate panel with
separate “Up” and “Down” buttons in place of a “Set” or “Temp”
button may be used. Simply press “Up” or “Down” where a “Temp”
or “Set” button press is indicated. (Ignore the “direction reversal
paragraph.”)
JETS 1
Touch the “Jets” button once to activate the low speed of the pump
and again for the high speed. Press the “Jets” button again to turn
off the pump. If left running, the low speed of the pump will
automatically turn off after 4 hours, and the high speed will
automatically turn off after 15 minutes. It may also activate for at
least 2 minutes every 30 minutes to detect the spa temperature and
then to heat to the set temperature if needed, depending upon mode.
When the low speed turns on automatically in its Filtration cycle, it
cannot be deactivated from the panel; however, the high speed may
be started.
Note: Filtration Cycles will activate every 12 hours from the time spa
was first powered up.
Note: Circulation pumps may also be installed into some makes of
spas, which will run the heater and filtration cycles. The circulation
pump cannot be controlled on the topside panel and will run for
duration of heating or Filtration cycles.
JETS 2 / BLOWER (4 Button pad)
Touch the “Blower” button once to activate blower on and off. If left
on, the blower will automatically turn off after 15 minutes.
Note: The blower will turn on for 30 seconds at the beginning of every
filter cycle.
LIGHT
Press the “Light” button to turn the light on and off. If left on, the
light automatically turns off after 4 hours.
To change the light effect sequence: Press the light button on then
off, then immediately press the button again (within 5 seconds) to
allow you to select another lighting effect (i.e flashing, intermittent,
fading) repeat sequence until desired lighting effect is achieved.
MODE
Mode is changed by pressing the “Temp” button, then pressing the
“Light” button.
• Standard Mode (“St”) is programmed to maintain the desired
temperature. Note that the last measured spa temperature
displayed is current only when the pump has been running for at
least 2 minutes. “St” will be displayed momentarily when you
switch into Standard Mode.
• Economy Mode (“Ec”) heats the spa to the set temperature only
during filter cycles. “Ec” will alternate with temperature when
heater current, “Ec” will display solid when heater is not current.
• Sleep Mode (“SL” )heats the spa to within 20°F/10°C of the set
temperature only during filter cycles.
“SL” will alternate with temperature when heater current, “SL”
will display solid when heater is not current.
PRESET FILTER CYCLES
The first filter cycle begins 6 minutes after the spa is powered up.
The second filter cycle begins 12 hours later. Filter duration is
programmable for 2, 4, 6, 8 hours or for continuous filtration
(indicated by “FC”). The default filter time is 2 hours.
To program, press “Temp” then “Jets.” Press “Temp” to adjust.
Press “Jets” to exit programming.
The blower purges for 30 seconds at the beginning of each filter
cycle. The low speed of the pump runs during filtration and the ozone
generator (if installed) will be enabled.
Note: Setting filtration cycles for long periods on high cycles will
overheat pump, it is advisable to set on “F 2” or “F 4.” Only use
“F 8” or “F C” to help clear cloudy water for a short period.
FREEZE PROTECTION (IC / ICE)
If the temperature sensors detect a drop to below 44°F/6.7°C within
the heater, the pump will automatically activate to provide freeze
protection. “ICE” will alternate with temperature display until temp
reached. The equipment stays on until 4 minutes after the sensors
detect that the spa temperature has risen to 45°F/7.2°C or higher. 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 and
without a 4-minute delay in turn off. See your dealer for details.
