Balboa ML550 Manuals

25 ML550, 551, 554 Panel Operation Cool/Warm ML500, 551, 554 Press the “Cool” or “Warm” button once to display the set temperature. Each time either button is pressed again, the set temperature will increase or decrease depending on which button is pressed. After three seconds, the LCD will automatically display the last measured spa temperature. Mode ML500, 551, 554 This button is used to switch between Standard, Economy, and Sleep modes. Press “Mode” to enter mode programming, press “Cool” to cycle through to desired mode (LCD flashes until confirmed), then press “Mode” to confirm selection. Sleep mode heats the spa to within 11°C (20°F) of the set temperature only during filter cycles. “ ” will appear on the display until mode is changed. Standby Mode Pressing “Cool” or “Warm” followed by “Blower” or “Jets 2” or “Aux” will turn off all spa functions temporarily. This is helpful when changing a filter. Pressing any button exits Standby mode. On some systems the “Jets 1” button will control the pump in Standby Mode (“Drain Mode”). In this case, press any other button to exit. System will revert to previous mode after 1 hour. Jets 1 Press the “Jets 1” button once to turn pump 1 on or off, and to shift between low and high speeds if equipped. If left running, the pump will turn off after a time-out period. The pump 1 low speed time-out on some systems may be as long as 4 hours. On non-circ systems, the low speed of pump 1 runs when the blower or any other pump is on. It may also activate for at least 1 minute every 30 minutes to detect the spa temperature (polling) and then to heat to the set temperature if needed, depending upon mode. When the low speed turns on automatically, it cannot be deactivated from the panel; however, the high speed may be started. Jets 2 (optional on some systems) Press the “Jets 2” button once to turn pump 2 on or off, and to shift between low and high speeds if it is a two-speed pump. If left running, the pump will turn off after a time-out period. Please refer to the following User Guides for more detailed information: ML551/ML554 User Guide: P/N 40632-99 ML 550 User Guide: P/N 40569-99 ML551 ML554 Heat Heat Warm Light Warm Jets 1 Jets 2 Light Mode Cool Blower ML550 Heat Heat Warm Light Warm Jets 1 Jets 2 Light Mode Cool Blower Heat Cool Warm Jets 1 Jets 2 Blower Light Mode 26 ML550, 551, 554 Panel Operation (cont.) Blower 1-speed operation: on/off; 2-speed operation: med/hi/off; or 3-speed operation: lo/med/hi/off. If left on, the blower will automatically turn off after a time- out period. NOTE: If your system does not have a “Blower” button, and is labeled as ”Jets 3” instead, please refer to the respective User Guide listed above. Light Some systems are equipped with both a spa light and a fiber optic light; however, only one can be accessed by this panel. (Larger panels may be purchased so that both the spa light and fiber optic light can be utilized.) Depending upon how your spa is equipped and configured, the “Light” button will operate in one of three ways: 1) Press the “Light” button to turn the spa light on and off, and to shift between dim and bright settings if your light is dimmable. 2) If a fiber-optic light with wheel is installed, press the “Light” button once to start the light and wheel; press it again to stop the wheel, and then again to turn the light off. 3) If a fiber-optic light without a separate wheel stop is installed, press the “Light” button to turn it on and off. Both a spa light and a fiber optic light may be used simultaneously on the EL8000 and EL5000 systems with a different panel. If any light is left on, it will automatically turn off after a factory programmed time period. Preset Filter Cycles On all systems, the pump and the ozone generator will run during filtration. At the start of each filter cycle, the blower will run briefly on its highest speed to purge the air channels. The lowest speed of any other pumps and the mister will also run briefly. On some circ systems, pump 1 may also run for the duration of the filter. (Note: This panel cannot be used to program filter cycles for systems that are programmed by time rather than by duration. For these systems, a larger panel is needed and the following description does not apply.) The first filter cycle (“day”) begins 6 minutes after the spa is powered up. The second filter cycle (“night”) begins 12 hours later. Filter duration is programmable for 1-12 hours (“ ”-“ ”). The default filter duration can vary from system to system. To program, press “Cool” or “Warm”, then “Jets 1”. Press “Cool” or “Warm” to select the filter duration. Press “Jets 1” to select the number of filter cycles. The display will show “ ” (both “day” and “night” cycles); “ ” (day cycle only); or “ ” (“night” cycle only). Press “Cool” or “Warm” to adjust, then press “Jets 1” to exit the programming mode. For continuous filtration, use “ ” and “ ”. Freeze Protection If the temperature sensors within the heater detect a low enough temperature, then the pump(s) and the blower automatically activate to provide freeze protection. The pump(s) and blower will run either continuously or periodically depending on conditions. 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. See your dealer for details. Locking Features If this panel is used as the main panel, locking features will not be available. If this panel is used as a remote or additional panel, it will lock when the main panel is locked. To unlock this panel, unlock the main panel. In the same way, the set temperature can be locked and unlocked by a main panel. When the set temperature is locked, it cannot be changed from either panel. 27 Clean-up Cycle (optional) When a pump or blower is turned on by a button press, a clean-up cycle begins 30 minutes after the pump or blower is turned off or times out. The pump and the ozone generator will run for one to four hours, depending on the system (on some systems, you can change this setting.) Circ Pump (optional) If your system is equipped with a circ pump, it may be configured to work in one of three different ways: 1) The circ pump operates continuously (24 hours) with the exception of turning off for 30 minutes at a time when the water temperature reaches 1.5°C (3°F) above the set temperature (most likely to happen in very hot climates). 2) The circ pump stays on continuously, regardless of water temperature. 3) The circ pump will come on when the system is checking temperature (polling), during filter cycles, during freeze conditions, or when another pump is on. Ozone (optional) On most systems, the ozone generator (if installed) runs during filter cycles (except when pump 1 is operating at high speed on a non-circ system) and during clean-up cycles. On some systems, the ozone generator operates whenever the pump runs. If your system is configured with the optional ozone suppress feature, the ozone generator will turn off for 1 hour any time a function button (Jets 1, Jets 2, Blower, etc.) is pressed. Displaying Info About Your Spa There are several pieces of information about your spa that can be called up from the panel, but are only needed in special cases. To access this information, press “Cool” or “Warm” then “Jets 1”, then “Light”. (Each press must be within 3 seconds of the previous press.) Then press “Cool” until you see “ ” on the display. Press “Jets 1” to see the SSID (a series of 3 numbers, such as 100 133 10, which indicates the precise revision of the software in your spa), followed by the Mach software version number (such as 2.1), followed by “ ” and then your spa’s network ID number (consisting of both letters and digits displayed in 5 steps). If you need to see this series of numbers again, and “ ” is once again on the display, just press “Jets 1” again. When done, press the “Light” button (more than once if necessary) until you see the normal temperature display. User Preferences There are several aspects of spa operation that you can customize using the User Preferences submenu. Press “Cool” or “Warm” then “Jets 1”, then “Light”. (Each press must be within 3 seconds of the previous press.) At this point, if “ ” is not showing on the display, press “Cool” until you see “ ” on the display. Then press “Jets 1” to enter the User Preferences submenu. Once in the User Preferences submenu, press “Cool” or “Warm” to cycle between these settings: – Suppress Reminders When set to “ ”, reminders are never displayed on the panel. When set to “ ”, reminders are displayed on the panel periodically. – Temperature in Celsius When set to “ ”, temperatures are displayed on the panel in degrees Celsius. When set to “ ”, temperatures are displayed in Fahrenheit. – 24-hour Time Display When set to “ ”, time is displayed in 24-hour (military) format (00:00 is midnight, 23:00 is one hour before midnight). When set to “ ”, time is displayed in 12-hour (am/pm) format (12:00 is midnight, 11:00 pm is one hour before midnight). – Clean-up Cycle Duration (some systems only) When set to “ ”, Clean-up Cycles are disabled. When set to “ ” through “ ”, the number indicates how many hours each Clean-up Cycle will run. 28 ML550, 551, 554 Panel Operation (cont.) – Dolphin II Address When set to “ ”, no addressing is used. Use this setting for a Dolphin I, or for a Dolphin II which is set for no address (which is the Dolphin II factory default). When set to “ ” through “ ”, the number is the address (see your Dolphin II manual for details). Editing User Preferences View the setting. The left two characters (before the decimal point) tell you what setting you’re viewing or editing, the right most character (after the decimal point) tells you the value of that setting (for example, “ ” for Yes or “ ” for No). If the value is flashing, you’re editing it. If the value is not flashing, you’re just viewing it. Press “Jets 1” to switch editing of the value on (flashing) or off (not flashing). Once you’re editing the value (it’s flashing), use the “Cool” or “Warm” buttons to change the value to the one you want. After you change the value, you must press “Jets 1” again to stop the flashing before the change will register, and before you can view or edit another setting. If you don’t interact with the menu for more than 30 seconds, it may time out. If you press “Light” to back out of the menu, or pause long enough for it to time out, while a value was flashing, the changes you were making to that setting are not remembered. But changes you previously made to other settings will be in effect. Any User Preferences that you change will stay in effect “forever” or until you change them again (unless the spa’s “persistent memory” is reset by a service technician), and will override the factory defaults for those settings.
