Section 1. Important Safety Instructions........ 4
DANGER
To reduce the risk of injury, 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.
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. 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.
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 should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C).
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.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock - Install the power center at least five (5) feet (152.4cm) from the inside wall of the pool
and/or hot tub using non-metallic plumbing. Canadian installations must be at least three (3) meters from the water.
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.
AVERTISSEMENT
Danger d'electrocution - Les installations canadiennes doivent se trouver à au moins trois (3) mètres de l’eau.
Ne pas laisser les enfants utiliser une cuve de relaxation sans surveillance.
Pour éviter que les cheveux ou une partie du corps puissent être aspirés, ne pas utiliser une cuve de relaxation si

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.
CAUTION
A terminal bar marked "GROUND" is provided within the power center. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
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 (3.3mm). In addition, a second wire connector should be bonded with
a no. 8 AWG (4.115mm) copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within five (5) feet (1.52m) of
the tub.
CAUTION
A ground-fault circuit-interrupter must be provided if this device is used to control underwater lighting fixtures. 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. Refer to local codes for complete details.
2.2 Controller
The power center supplies the controller 10 VDC via the two (2) outside wires (red and green) of the four (4)
conductor cables. If the voltage drops below 8 VDC, the display will flicker on and off. The two (2) inner wires
(yellow and black) provide the two-way communication link between the controller and the power center. They
communicate via serial communication, using signals like the standard "RS-485".
If either of the communication wires (inner pair) is broken or misconnected, but the power supply wires (the outer
pair) are connected properly, the controller will stop responding. It may show a steady screen of information, and stop
responding to its buttons. If power is then interrupted, the controller will lock up. The way it locks up will depend on
the type of controller.
1. Locked-up All Button. All LEDs will be on and the text will resemble the following: "6700 REV C".
2. Locked-up OneTouch. The screen will be covered with dots, with a line of text that resembles the following:
"Firmware Rev XXX".
2. OneTouch Controller. The reset switch can be used to show the revision code for the firmware for both the
controller's micro controller chip and the power center's firmware chip.

1. At the power center, check the voltage between the red and green wires at the red terminal bar (terminals 1 and 4).
See Figure 5. If the voltage is between 8 and 10 VDC and the polarity is correct, but there is less than 7 VDC at
the indoor control, check the wires for the following:
a. Broken or shorted red or green wires.
b. Wire size. The minimum gauge for one control no more than 300 feet away from the power center is 22 AWG.
To ensure a lower drop in current, use larger wire (16 to 20 AWG)

1. All Button Control: All the circuit LEDs are illuminated and the display is locked on a part number and revision
letter.
2. OneTouch Control: The screen is covered with dots and displays a firmware version number.
Communication problems can be caused by the following:
1. Broken communication wire(s). These wires are connected to the red terminal bar at terminals two (2) and three
(3 ) (yellow and black). See Figure 7.
2. The microprocessor was hit by a power surge. Turn off all power to the system. (If the PCB is prior to Revision N,
disconnect the nine (9) volt battery.) Wait two (2) minutes and then turn the power on. If this frees up the system,
you will need to reset the time and date, except with a Revision N board. Programming will not be lost. It is
advisable to install a Surge Protection Kit.

4. Other body of water is circulating (i.e., pool heater is enabled but spa is circulating).
To eliminate the control system as the cause of the heating problem, insert both wires to the heater into the same
terminal of the green terminal bar, as shown in Figure 8. If the heater does not operate, the problem is in the wires or
the heater, not the control system. Reinsert wires into the correct terminals after the test.

4.1.3 EEPROM
All programming, labeling, temperature settings, etc., are stored within an EEPROM (Electronically Erasable Pro-
grammable Read Only Memory) chip. This chip is located on the PCB and will retain all settings indefinitely, even if
power is lost for an extended period. If the Power Center PCB is prior to Rev N, a 9-volt battery will keep the clock
running during power outages.
4.1.4 Battery
If the power is off for more than 34 hours, the battery will drain below 6.3 volts. This is insufficent to keep the clock
running, therefore, the date and time will be lost. If the PCB is Rev N or newer, a three (3) volt lithium battery will
keep the clock running during a power outage. If the line power is off for more than three (3) years, this battery may
drain to the point where it will no longer keep the clock running. Even if the battery is dead, the user inputs (Pro-
grams, Labels, Temperature Settings, etc.) will never be lost.
Page 15
2. If there is less than 22 VAC at the secondary wires, check the voltage at the primary (black and white) wires for
105 to 130 VAC. If there is no voltage on the primary, check the supply source (the circuit breaker).
3. If there is 105 to 130 VAC on the primary and no voltage on the secondary, replace the transformer. Note: the
transformer and/or its fuse can be damaged by a short circuit. Water in the JVA can cause a short. A cut or spliced
JVA cord can cause a short. A damaged chip on the PCB (usually a driver chip) can cause a short.

3. 3.15 amp fuse. Fuse will blow to protect the transformer when there is a short circuit in the JVA(s) or the circuit
board driver chip is damaged.
4. CPU Board
5. U2 Communication Chip. This chip will be damaged if a lightning strike hits the four (4) conductor wires. It will
turn brown when damaged. This chip is mounted on the PCB board and is located underneath the top edge of the
CPU board.
8. Spare Auxiliary. Operates with pool/spa combo units only. With firmware prior to Rev. I this socket is on when
the filter pump is on and the system is in pool mode. It turns off when the spa is activated. With Rev. I or newer,
turning on dip switch 6 will reverse the operation of this socket (i.e. on in spa mode and off in pool mode).

When the Power Center PCB is put in Service or Time Out Mode, the thermostat setting will automatically be
switched to 104° F for testing. If the heater circuit is activated and the water heater temperature is less than 104° F, the
LED above the heater button should turn on. If it does not fire, the problem is caused by either the Water Temperature
Sensor or the PCB. Test the sensor as indicated below.
Remove the green terminal bar from the Power Center PCB. Place a good thermometer in the flow of water for the
body of water to be tested (e.g. pool skimmer) and turn on the filter pump. Set your test meter to resistance at or above
20 K Ohms. Test between terminals five (5) and six (6) on the green terminal bar. Compare the reading to the chart. If
the reading and chart do not match, replace the sensor.

5.4 3 HP Relay
5.4.1 Operation
1. A standard 3 HP Relay's coil is supplied with 24 VDC from the power center PCB via one (1) of the driver chips.
When 24 VDC is received by the relay's coil wires, it closes the contacts that complete the circuit to turn on the
equipment (i.e., power supplied to Line 1 goes out Load 1 to the equipment). See Figure 16.
2. Standard 3 HP Relays may be wired to activate a 120 VAC circuit (i.e. Line 1/Load 1) or a 240 VAC circuit (i.e.
Line 1/Load 1 and Line 2/Load 2).
Note If a relay's coil wires are shortened, or an AC relay coil is plugged into a relay socket, when that circuit is activated, it will
damage one of the relay driver chips on the power center PCB.

5.5.1 Operation
1. The two speed relay operates in conjunction with a standard relay to operate a two speed pump/motor. The
standard relay is the on/off relay and the two speed relay is the switching relay. Activating the relay coil for the
standard relay will complete the contact circuit between Line 1 and the motor common, Line 2 and the two speed
relay common. If the two speed relay coil wires are deactivated, the motor runs at high speed. When the two speed
relay coil is activated, the motor switches to low speed.
2. If the two speed motor is the filtration pump, plug the relay coil wires for the standard relay into the filter pump
relay socket. Next, plug the two speed relay coil wires into the Auxiliary 2 socket. Finally, turn on DIP switch 2 to
set the circuitry to two speed operation. This will interlock the low speed and high speed together. If low speed is
activated, the control will turn on high speed first for three (3) minutes (to prime the system) before switching to
low.
3. If the two speed motor is in a dual equipment system, plug the relay coil wires for the standard relay into the
Auxiliary 7 socket. Next, plug the two speed relay coil wires into the Auxiliary 2 socket. Finally, turn on DIP
Switch 2 to set the circuitry to two speed operation.
Note: Turn off the power to the system before moving any DIP Switches.

The controller signals the light dimming relay to turn "fully on", "partially dimmed", or "completely off" by sending
a specific number of pulses in a set period of time to the light dimming relay. The circuitry of the light dimming relay,
which requires 120 VAC to operate, interprets the number and timing of pulses to determine whether the light should
be on, off, or dimmed.
The circuitry of the light dimming relay is driven by the 120 VAC power from the circuit breaker for the light. Un-
like a standard relay, which receives a constant 24 VDC to its coil to hold the relay contacts closed (and which opens
when that voltage is removed), the light dimming relay receives only signal pulses on the relay coil wires, and it is the
circuitry on the relay that actually turns the light on and off and dims it. Therefore, if the light is fully on or dimmed,
unplugging the relay coil wires to the light dimming relay will not turn the light off. The light will remain on as long
as 120 VAC is supplied to the relay.
Note: In addition to needing a light dimming relay installed, the auxiliary to operate the light dimming circuit must be assigned at
the indoor controller.

When the coil of the SPDT relay is de-energized, voltage is supplied from one leg of the transformer secondary to
the common terminal of the relay and then down the red wire of the JVA cord to the toggle switch at the rear of the
JVA. The toggle switch then routes the voltage to either the lower microswitch (toggle in ON 1 position), the upper
microswitch (toggle in ON 2 position), or to neither microswitch (toggle in OFF position). If the voltage is routed to
the lower microswitch, and that microswitch is closed, the voltage passes through the motor to the black wire and then
back to the other leg of the transformer secondary to complete the circuit. The motor will then rotate clockwise, turn-
ing the gear train (and ultimately the output shaft) until the lower cam comes in contact with the lower microswitch,
which opens the circuit and stops the motor. If the voltage is routed to the upper microswitch, the motor rotates in the
opposite direction until the upper cam lobe comes into contact with the upper microswitch, which stops the rotation.
If the coil of the SPDT relay is energized, the voltage travels through the white wire to the toggle switch, which as
above, routes it either to the lower microswitch for clockwise rotation or upper microswitch for counterclockwise
rotation, with the voltage traveling back to the black wire to complete the circuit.
The capacitor, which is wired in parallel with the motor, keeps the motor rotating in the correct direction and ensures
that the JVA rotates with the proper torque.
