Section 1. Important Safety Instructions

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local codes. When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: DANGER To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, do not remove the suction ttings of your spa or hot tub. Never operate a spa or hot tub if the suction ttings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction tting with one rated less than the ow rate marked on the equipment assembly. WARNING Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The e󰀨ects of hyperthermia include: 1) unawareness of impending danger; 2) failure to perceive heat; 3) failure to recognize the need to exit spa; 4) physical inability to exit spa; 5) fetal damage in pregnant women; 6) unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia. WARNING To Reduce the Risk of Injurya) The water in a spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.b) Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub, and should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C). Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may be injurious to your health.c) Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices varies.d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.e) Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.f) Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may a󰀨ect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation. WARNING Risk of electric shock which could result in severe injury or death - Install the controller at least 2 ft. (0.6m) vertically o󰀨 the ground and ve (5) feet (1.52 m) from the inside wall of the pool and/or hot tub using non-metallic plumbing so children cannot use the equipment to access the pool and be injured or drown. Canadian installations must be at least three (3) meters from the water.PREVENT CHILD DROWNING: Do not let anyone, especially small children, sit, step, lean or climb on any equipment installed as part of your pool’s operational system.Children should not use spas or hot tubs without adult supervision.Do not use spas or hot tubs unless all suction guards are installed to prevent body and hair entrapment.People using medications and/or having an adverse medical history should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub.

Actuators (JVAs) to specic AUX relays, as intake or return in Pool Only mode.

NOTE By factory default the lter pump circuit is freeze protected. During freeze protection, the lter pump cannot be turned o󰀨. IMPORTANT Freeze protection is intended to protect equipment and plumbing for short periods of freezing only. It does this by activating the filtration pump and circulating the water to prevent freeze inside equipment or plumbing. Freeze protection does not guarantee that equipment will not be damaged by extended periods of freezing temperatures or power outages. In these conditions, the pool and spa should be shut down completely (e.g. drained of water and closed for the winter) until warmer weather exists. CAUTION Activating the spa during freezing conditions will override freeze protection. This means that if you are using your spa when freezing conditions exist, freeze protection will not circulate water to non-spa related equipment that you may have freeze protected (e.g. pool cleaner, booster pump.) Under these circumstances, the potential for equipment damage may exist.ENGLISH Polaris

10.1 Glossary of Safety Delays and

Lockouts Heater Cool Down Delay When the system is heating and the Filter Pump is turned o󰀨, the Filter Pump will remain on for ve (5) minutes, and will continue to circulate the water. This delay allows water to cool the heater down by circulating water through it, preventing equipment damage. The ve (5) minute delay starts counting down when the heater goes o󰀨. If the heater has been o󰀨 for ve (5) minutes or more, prior to turning o󰀨 the Filter Pump, there will not be a delay. Heater Start-up The heater will only come on if the water is circulating (for example, the lter pump is on and has been circulating for 15 seconds) and the actual water temperature is below the temperature you set with Temp Set in the Menu. If these conditions are not met, the heater will be enabled (ready to go), but will not re. Heater “Short Cycling” Prevention When the heater is activated and the desired temperature is reached, heater will turn o󰀨 and remain o󰀨 for three (3) minutes, even if the temperature falls below the desired temperature. This feature prevents heater short cycling (in other words, the heater turning o󰀨 and on in rapid succession). Cleaner Lockout The pool cleaner will only activate if the Filter Pump is on and water is circulating. The pool cleaner requires that water is circulating to the pool in order for it to operate. Enabled When activated allows the function to work. Disabled When activated does not allow the function to work.

10.2 Glossary of Alert Messages

FREEZE PROTECT This message indicates that freezing conditions have been detected by the freeze protection sensor, and that equipment assigned to freeze protection are active (for example, the lter pump). See Freeze Protection Menu for more information. NOTE: The lter pump is always protected; auxiliary circuits can be assigned to freeze protection. If a freeze protected Auxiliary is turned o󰀨 during freeze protection, a message will be displayed indicating that item is o󰀨 but will turn on in X amount of minutes. The minutes will vary depending on how long freeze mode has been active from one (1) to 15 minutes. SENSOR OPEN This error message indicates that the sensor is not installed properly or is malfunctioning. Call your pool service person to resolve this problem. NOTE: If the message reads Water TEMP Open, the heater will not re. If message Air TEMP OPEN is displayed, freeze protection will not operate correctly. PUMP WILL REMAIN ON WHILE SPILLOVER IS ON This message is displayed when you attempt to turn o󰀨 the lter pump while a spa spillover is on. Since the lter pump is necessary for spillover operation, the pump will remain on until the spillover is turned o󰀨. PUMP WILL TURN OFF AFTER COOL DOWN CYCLE This message indicates that the lter pump is circulating water to cool down the heater. The lter pump will continue to run for ve minutes to protect the heater from damage, whenever the heater has red and has been o󰀨 for less than ve (5) minutes. SERVICE MODE Service mode is used by the pool service person to aid them in servicing the pool. SENSOR SHORT This error message indicates that the sensor is not installed properly or is malfunctioning. Call your pool service person to resolve this problem. NOTE: If the message reads WATER TEMP SHORT, the heater will not re. If the message AIR TEMP SHORT is displayed, freeze protection will not operate correctly.
