POLARIS PAC PAGAUT - READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS - 1

DANGER

To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, do not remove the suction fittings of your spa or hot tub. Never operate a spa or hot tub if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the equipment assembly.

POLARIS PAC PAGAUT - DANGER - 1

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 effects 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.

POLARIS PAC PAGAUT - WARNING - 1

WARNING

To Reduce the Risk of Injury

a) 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 affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.

POLARIS PAC PAGAUT - WARNING - 1

WARNING

To avoid injury ensure that you use this control system to control only packaged pool/spa heaters which have built-in operating and high limit controls to limit water temperature for pool/spa applications. This device should not be relied upon as a safety limit control.

WARNING

People with infectious diseases should not use a spa or hot tub.

To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa or hot tub.

Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a spa or hot tub to avoid unconsciousness and possible drowning.

Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician before using a spa or tub.

Water temperature in excess of 100^ (38°C) may be hazardous to your health.

Before entering a spa or hot tub, measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.

Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.

Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.

Do not permit any electric appliance (such as a light, telephone, radio, or television) within five (5) feet (1.52 m) of a spa or hot tub.

The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.

WARNING

A terminal bar marked "GROUND" is provided within the controller. To reduce the risk of electrical shock which can cause serious injury or death, connect this terminal bar to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply panel with a continuous copper conductor having green insulation and one that is equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment, but no smaller than no. 12 AWG (3.3 mm ^2 ). In addition, a second wire connector should be bonded with a no. 8 AWG (8.4 mm ^2 ) copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within five (5) feet (1.52 m) of the pool/spa. In Canada the bonding wire must be minimum 6 AWG (13.3 mm ^2 ).

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or injury, service should only be attempted by a qualified pool service professional.

Risk of Electric Shock. Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). (in Canada: CONNECT ONLY TO A CIRCUIT PROTECTED BY A CLASS A GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER) Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.

Such a GFCI should be tested on a routine basis. (In Canada: TEST THE GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER BEFORE EACH USE OF THE SPA) To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to this equipment without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this equipment. Disconnect this equipment and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.

Do not bury the cords. Locate cords to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged cord immediately and do not use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply; provide a properly located outlet.

This equipment is for use with permanently-installed pools only. Do not use with storable pools. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage.

To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are supervised at all times.

CAUTION

The conductors on the load side of the ground-fault circuit-interrupter shall not occupy conduit, boxes, or enclosures containing other conductors unless the additional conductors are also protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter.

7.1 Freeze Protect

NOTE By factory default the filter pump circuit is freeze protected. During freeze protection, the filter pump cannot be turned off.

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.

POLARIS PAC PAGAUT - IMPORTANT - 1

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.

Set Temperature:

INSTALL SETTINGS > FREEZE PROTECT > SET TEMP

Set outside temperature at which freeze protect function is activated. Activation temperature can be adjusted between 34^ F and 42^ F. Default freeze protection activation temperature is 38^ F. The freeze protected equipment will turn off when the temperature increases 2^ F above the activation temperature.

  • Use Up/Down arrows to set new temperature value.

7.8 Solar Priority (if applicable)

INSTALL SETTINGS>SOLAR PRIORITY

NOTE: You will only see this option if solar heating is installed in your system.

Enable the system to use solar heat first, when available. If solar heat is no longer available, the system will automatically switch to the alternate heat source.

    A --> H["More ↓↓ ↓"]
    B --> I["Enable ✓ Disable"]
  • When solar and heater are enabled the solar will heat the water until either the thermostat setting has been reached or solar heat is no longer available.
  • If the solar panel is not hot enough, solar heat will shut off and the other heat source (usually gas heater) will take over to bring the water up to the thermostat setting.

7.9 Assign JVA

INSTALL SETTINGS>ASSIGN JVA

NOTE: If the system is a pool/spa combination, without solar, only the solar JVA is assignable. If the system is a pool or spa only system, without solar, all three JVAs are assignable. The example shown is for a pool or spa only system without solar.

Allow Jandy Valve® Actuators (JVAs) to be assigned to any auxiliary on the Polaris PAC controller, so that when you select this auxiliary, the valve turns. Assigning JVAs lets the pool owner control certain features like diverting water to a waterfall or bank of spa jets. Multiple JVAs can be assigned to one auxiliary without extra hardware.

Section 10. Glossaries

10.1 Glossary of Safety Delays and Lockouts

Heater Cool Down Delay

When the system is heating and the Filter Pump is turned off, the Filter Pump will remain on for five (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 five (5) minute delay starts counting down when the heater goes off. If the heater has been off for five (5) minutes or more, prior to turning off 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 filter 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 fire.

Heater "Short Cycling" Prevention

When the heater is activated and the desired temperature is reached, heater will turn off and remain off 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 off 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 filter pump). See Freeze Protection Menu for more information.

NOTE: The filter pump is always protected; auxiliary circuits can be assigned to freeze protection. If a freeze protected Auxiliary is turned off during freeze protection, a message will be displayed indicating that item is off 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 fire. If message Air TEMP OPEN is displayed, freeze protection will not operate correctly.

This message is displayed when you attempt to turn off the filter pump while a spa spillover is on. Since the filter pump is necessary for spillover operation, the pump will remain on until the spillover is turned off.

This message indicates that the filter pump is circulating water to cool down the heater. The filter pump will continue to run for five minutes to protect the heater from damage, whenever the heater has fired and has been off for less than five (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 fire. If the message AIR TEMP SHORT is displayed, freeze protection will not operate correctly.

TIME-OUT MODE

Time Out mode is used by the pool service person to aid them in servicing the pool. The automation system user interface will not be functional for three (3) hours, or until the switch at the Controller is turned back to AUTO mode. The time remaining for TIME OUT mode is displayed on the user interface screen
