Agenda • 13:00 Massage sequencer, power-up, electrical measures, solenoid valves and their functionality • 14:00 Troubleshooting tips, common issues, searching for defaults, practice • 15:00 Spa water treatment – specifics, ozonation, UltraPure system, water chemistry • 15:30 Hands-on Skirt light LFX • 16:00 Spa shell repair : UltraLife kit ingredients : chips, MEK, Plastic Welder Warranty conditions • Questions, Evaluation Test
Spa Power Requirements & Measurements Single phase type connection • Neutral & Line 1 = 230 VAC • Wire Requirements for 1 x 32 A : 3 x 6 mm² • Wire Requirements for 1 x 16 A : 3 x 2.5 mm² • Electrical cable with 3 conductors : Use industrial type cable : U-1000 R2V Ground (green/yellow), Neutral (blue), Phase (black, brown or red)
Spa Power Requirements & Measurements Two-phase type connection • Neutral & Line 1 = 230 V AC • Neutral & Line 2 = 230 V AC • Wire Requirements for 2 x 16 A : 4 x 2.5 mm² • Electrical cable with 4 conductors : Use industrial type cable : U-1000 R2V Ground (green/yellow), Neutral (blue), Phase 1 & 2 (black, brown or red)
Spa Power Requirements & Measurements Three-phase type connection • Neutral & Line 1 = 230 V AC • Neutral & Line 2 = 230 V AC • Neutral & Line 3 = 230 V AC • Wire Requirements for 3 x 16 A : 5 x 2.5 mm² • Electrical cable with 5 conductors : Use industrial type cable : U-1000 R2V Ground (green/yellow), Neutral (blue), Phase 1, 2 & 3 (black, brown or red)
Peripheral Power Requirements • 230 V AC = Jet pumps & Heater • 230 V AC = Circulation pump, Ozone Generator, Fan, Sequencer • 12 V AC = Light or LFX • 15 V DC = iWatch/Skirt Light • 24 V AC = Solenoid valve
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
Compatibility between upper control panels and PC boards • The old Gecko system MSPA-1 required a D1-CE PC board, ref. 01710-125E, with its specific sensors for temperature & hi-limitThis 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. 01560-310 * TSC-25, mid-range from 1999 and up ref. 01560-320, used on Arena
Upper control panels still in use • TSC-24-D13 ref. 01580-0001 with Gecko MSPA-MP system & scrolling messages used until end of 2006 with following PC boards : * D11-CE ref. 01710-1008E for Reflection Line * D12-CE ref. 01710-1010E for Bay Collection • TSC-42 ref. 01560-1005 for massage sequencer • TSC-17 ref. 01560-325 for secondary control
Present M’Drive used for Bays, Reflection Line & AFS • UPPER CONT-IN.K961.D15-MP, last revision, new ref. 01710-1026 • associated PC board for Bays D15-CE, ref. 01710-1018E • associated hi-limit sensor ribbon type, plug able ref. 01560-1016 • PC board for LFX spas D18-CE, ref. 01710-1020E • PC board for non-LFX spas D17-CE, ref. 01710-1019E
Relays & SnubbersMC Micro - controller Relay 230 VAC Pump R C
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

Upper Control Errors/Conditions Hard Failures • Flow open (FLO) / Flow closed (FLC) • High Limit (HL) – Temperature limit 48°C • Overheat (OH) of water 44°C Conditions • Communication Error – Lock-Up : - - - - F • Summer Mode – Lower set temp. to 15°C • Ice Condition at 20°C in the cabinet • Fan starts at 65°C -> 60°C or with pump (1 hour)
TSC-24 Upper Control Programming • High level programming menu Holding the Program key for 5 seconds • Low Level Service Menu Holding both Program and Icon keys for 10 sec • Upper Control Test Mode Hold Jets 1 key while powering up spa • Demonstration Mode (Reminders) Jets 1 key must be held for 10 seconds
Manual System Reset Press : Icon, Enter and then Program keys • Invert the LCD Press : Program key 3 times • Programming Lock Press : Icon, Icon and then Program keys • Control Panel Lock Press : Icon, Icon and Enter keys • Unlock Press : Enter, Enter and Icon • Stand-By Mode Press : Icon button for 5 seconds
