Spa Controls Micro-Controller = brains of spa Upper control is a means of communicating with the Micro-Controller to : - command - acknowledge - activate Battery 5.5 VDC to keep data in memory

Spa Controls

Compatibility between upper control panels and PC boards The old Gecko system MSPA-1 required a D1-CE PC board, ref E, with its specific sensors for temperature & hi-limit This PC-Board is not longer manufactured, at disposal while stocks last. It will be replaced with a D11 kit. Associated upper control panel : * TSC-24, intelligent base from mid 1999 to 2001, ref * TSC-25, mid-range from 1999 and up ref , used on Arena

Upper control panels still in use TSC-24-D13 ref with Gecko MSPA-MP system & scrolling messages used until end of 2006 with following PC boards : * D11-CE ref E for Reflection Line * D12-CE ref E for Bay Collection TSC-42 ref for massage sequencer TSC-17 ref for secondary control

M-Drive Upper Control

Present M’Drive used for Bays, Reflection Line & AFS UPPER CONT-IN.K961.D15-MP, last revision, new ref associated PC board for Bays D15-CE, ref E associated hi-limit sensor ribbon type, plug able ref PC board for LFX spas D18-CE, ref E PC board for non-LFX spas D17-CE, ref E

Feedback to the Microcontroller Temperature Probe – Tells Microcontroller to activate/deactivate the heater (also OH) High Limit Probe – Informs microcontroller if heater is getting too hot. Red LED Flow/Pressure Switch – Tells microcontroller if water is flowing through heater in a satisfactory quantity

Poly Planar Audio System Possible conditions Stereo Screen does not light up Screen lights up but no sound One or more speakers are not playing How to program the Dolphin II remote

Check purple J+J plug behind the control and make sure it’s connected; follow it to the main board and check power between P40 and P55 Do you get 230 VAC ? NO Stereo screen does not light up after pressing power. Get a good source of power, try : N – P40 L1 – P90 If you still don’t have 230 VAC, check the incoming power to the spa, you are not getting the required voltage. Behind the stereo, check power on red and black wires. Do you get 12 VDC ? YES Open the power supply and check the fuse; if bad replace it. Do you get 12 VDC now ? NO YES Check both inline fuses on the stereo (red and yellow wires); if bad replace them. Does the screen light up now ? NO YES Does it play now ? YES Problem solved NO Refer to screen lights up, but no sound. Replace Stereo head unit. Replace power supply If the stereo is equipped with an IMR-200 Module, with power off, remove it and then reset the power, does the screen light up now ? NO YES

Stereo screen lights up but no sound comes out. Scan for a good radio station or put a CD that you know is good. Put the volume at level 15. Balance and fade at center or zero and check 12 pin harness for loose connections. Does the stereo play now ? If the stereo is equipped with an IMR-200 Module, with power off, remove it and then reset the power. Does the stereo play now? NO Replace Stereo head unit. YES Replace IMR- 200 Module, reset power. Does it play now ? YES If all speakers play good, problem solved; if not refer to : one or more speakers are not playing. YES NO Replace IMR- 200 and Stereo head unit at the same time.

One or more speakers are not playing A pair of speakers One speaker (right or left channel) Remove, and disconnect the bad speaker and test a new one. Does it play now? To find out if the speaker is good, check ohms on green and yellow wire, you should hear a beep or read 4 to 6 ohms. Subwoofer YES NO Check for cut speaker wires or pulled pins on the connections, repair any problems. Does it play now? YES Solved Replace the speaker. NO Send a new speaker wire from your new speaker to the 12 pin harness and test by connecting it on the pair of gray or white wires,depending where it is coming from. Does it play now? YES NO Your are on your own!! I mean call us for help Tuck in the new wire thru the skirt If the stereo is equipped with an IMR-200 Module, with power off remove it and then reset the power, does that channel plays now ? YES NO Remove both speakers and test a new one. Does it play ? YES Replace both speakers. Replace stereo head unit. Do the speakers play now ? Test a new stereo head unit, Does it play now ? YES Replace IMR-200 Module NO Test a new 12 pin harness. Does it play now ? YES Replace 12 pin harness NO

How to program the Dolphin II remote SPA Poly Planar stereo Aiming at the top side control or I-watch, press on the remote SPA button, then at a function, (jets, light, etc) does it activate ? YES Already programmed Pointing at the Stereo, press on RCVR, then power; does it turn on ? (try also CD button) NO Press SPA button (Led will blink once) Press and hold Setup (Led will blink twice) Enter 1842 on the key pad. Aim at the top side and test again. Does it activate ? Solved NO Try again, replace batteries if it does not solve the problem. You might have an older Dolphin remote or a loose connection on the TSC harness at spas are not remote capable. NO Press RCVR button (Led will blink once) Press and hold Setup (Led will blink twice) Enter 1914 on the key pad. Aim at the top side and test again. Does it activate ? Also try for In-tune head unit. YES NO Try again, replace batteries if it does not solve the problem you might have an older Dolphin remote. Make sure this spa is equipped with an IMR- 200 to be able to use the speakers as an infra- red receiver.

Common Issues Circulation Pump Cleaning Sta-Rite Pump Seals & Volutes Solenoids & Valves Flow & Pressure Switches Check Valves – pop check / ozone check Heaters- Amp check – Insulation check Differential – Current to trip = 30 mA Jets LFX and skirt lighting

Technical news The new E 10 circulation pump The new plumbing on the AFS The most important problem last year: M-Drive: this problem is solved with the revision D 15. PC-Board D15 on Bays: to , the orginal PC-board contains a software error, the problem is then a OH Message, with or without a effective overheating.
