Underwater LED Light Operating Instructions
4.1 Light Synchronization
NOTE This section only applies to the color (RGBW) lights. All fixtures
must be tied into the same transformer, circuit or switch for
synchronization to occur.
1. Turn the light ON. If the light has been off for 7 seconds or longer, the
light will turn on at the last color selected.
2. To synchronize multiple lights to the same color mode, you will need to
reset to the beginning of the color mode sequence. With the lights ON,
turn them OFF for five (5) seconds, then turn ON again. All of the lights
will reset to the Alpine White color mode. If all of the lights are not in
the Alpine White color mode, they have not been synchronized, repeat
step 2.

Section 5. Designer Lens Options
The Designer Lenses offer a unique set of
options for the LED Series of lights. Each
one has the ability to create unique lighting
effects within the pool's interior. See the
list below to learn more about the designer
lens options.
HALF DOME - This escutcheon adds over the existing lens to allow you to
direct 1/2 the light in a direction you want. Downwards -to light a pools
interior without light shining upwards. Upwards to light a water feature
or sideways to put light where it might be needed but no where else
HALO LENS - This lens allows for gentle lighting in an area but knocks
down the center beam. This allows for installation on walls, etc. where
there might be an opposite wall, etc. where you want to eliminate
generating a "hot" spot. Great general lighting but softly.
SPOT LENS - Just the opposite of the Halo. Concentrates the light and
reduces the output at wider beam angles in order to produce a spot -light
effect. Great for illuminating that special feature.
CATS EYE - This lens reduces the light to just a "slice" of light that is broad
but thin. An incredible effect for illuminating but without spilling light
all over.
DIAMOND - WOW want to really create something special? The Diamond
lens creates incredible points of light throughout the interior. The
points will be different the farther away from the light they are. Put the
LED colored light on DISCO TECH MODE AND WATCH THE FUN
BEGIN!

If water flow through the heat pump is reduced, performance will suffer and internal safety devices may
deactivate the heat pump with error codes MP and MPS, or (if equipped) an LP and LPS.
o Operate water filtration devices per manufacturer's specifications. Dirty filters can cause reduced water flow to the
heat pump. An increase of 7-10 psi higher than the clean filter pressure typically reduces flow rates. This requires
the filter to be cleaned or back -washed
o Keep baskets free of debris. Similar to a dirty filter, large volumes of debris in the pump and skimmer baskets can
reduce water flow.
Check for improper valve settings. A partially closed valve after the filter, or a full -open bypass around the heat
pump, will cause insufficient water flow through the heat pump.
The maximum static (or operating pressure) is 50 pounds -per -square -inch (PSI). These specifications relate to the
heat pump only. Code -specified whole system turnover rates must be satisfied.
4.1.c Adjusting Water Flow Using AT (Delta-T)
The Delta-T is the temperature difference between the water temperatures entering and leaving the heat
pump. The equipment can be fine-tuned for maximum performance by balancing water flow rates to
maintain an ideal AT.
o Installed Temperature / Pressure probes and ports are required to perform the following procedures.
a This adjustment procedure is to be completed with the unit in HER mode only; REM and 100 discharge
temperatures are not shown.
PLEASE NOTE -
Temperature /Pressure ports are required for all commercial applications.
They are strongly recommended (but not required) for residential installations.
1. Adjust heat pump thermostat to its lowest setting while in
HER mode.
2. Deactivate the water filtration pump.
3. Adjust valves to a halfway open position leading to the
heat pump.
4. Adjust valves to a fully open position leading away from
the heat pump.
5. Activate the pool water filtration pump.
6. Slowly turn the thermostat up until the heat pump
activates.
After a four -minute delay, the heat pump
compressor will start.
7. With the heat pump running, confirm water filtration
pump is operating properly with adequate flow and no
short cycling. If needed, clean filters leading to the heat

PUMP.
8. Wait for water and refrigerant pressure to stabilize (approximately 5 minutes).
9. Adjust valves in the following order:
A. Adjust valve leading away from the heat pump to correct temperatures measured with a temperature
pressure probe.
B. Allow pressure to stabilize. Then check temperature again. Re -adjust valve leading away from the
heat pump as needed.
10. Mark valves at these positions for future reference.

Light ]Freeze Conditions
There are two freeze conditions requiring heat pump attention. A light freeze is when the ambient air
temperature falls below 32 degrees Fahrenheit for less than 8 hours. Typically during light freeze conditions
circulating (moving) water will not freeze. Override time clocks and allow filtration system to run
continuously during light freeze conditions.
Hard Freeze Conditions
A hard freeze is when the ambient air temperature falls below 32 degrees Fahrenheit for more than 8 hours.
In areas where this condition is prevalent and sustained, the heat pump MUST be winterized for hard freeze
conditions. Follow the correct procedure depending on the type of heat exchanger found in the heat pump.
RdeuQify Exchanger

6. If an error code is displayed, diagnose and correct cause of code. See "Fault Codes" on page 16.
7. Confirm that filter pump has a sufficient run-time. The heat pump will not run (or heat the water)without
water flow. Heat Pump equipment will generally be set to run 24 hours a day in commercial appliations.See
"Initial Heating Recommendations" on page 22.
8. If heating a spa, deactivate air blower or venturi (if equipped) to al low for quicker heating times. For pools,
deactivate water features, such as slides, waterfalls, or fountains to allow water to retain heat. Useof a liquid
pool blanket product, such as an Aqua BlanketrM, can also compensate for excessive heat loss. See "Liquid
Blankets" on page 23.
Heat Pump Is Running, Not Cooling (Reversing Models)
L If the heat pump is using an external controller, confirm the heat pump is programmed properly to allow for
cooling. See "Operating Heat Pump (With an External Controller)" on page 8.
2. Confirm the heat pump mode is set to COD operating mode.
3. Confirm the thermostat is set below the current water temperature.
4. Confirm valves are correctly positioned to cool the correct body of water (either the pool or the spa). If
cooling a spa that overflows into a pool, confirm the spa is isolated when being cooled (not flowing into the
pool).
5. If an error code is displayed, determine and correct the condition causing the code. See "Fault Codes" on page
16.
6. Confirm heat pump is transferring heat out of the water.
Measure the temperature of air discharge coming out of heat pump fan. If discharge air is between 80 to
10' warmer than outside ambient air (not coming out of heat pump), then the heat pump is moving heat
out of the water.
7. Confirm that filter pump has a sufficient run-time. The heat pump will not run (or cool the water) without
water flow. Heat Pump equipment will generally be set to run 24 hours a day in commercial appliations.See
"Initial Cooling Recommendations" on page 22.

Water Coming From beat Pump
The water may be normal condensation produced as a by-product of the heat pump's refrigeration process.
The heat pump can produce 8 to 10 gallons of condensation per day depending on the humidity of the
ambient air. Determine if the water is condensation or a possible leak.
1. If using chlorine or bromine as a pool / spa sanitizer, use a test strip in the water at heat pump to determine if
sanitizer is present. If sanitizer is present, a leak may exist.
2. Deactivate heat pump, leaving the filter pump on. After several hours, determine if water is still coming from
the heat pump.

b.2Initial Heating Recommendations
The following recommendations will reduce the amount of time required to heat a pool. If unsure of
equipment heating capability, review equipment data plate. See "Identifying Model Specifications" on
page 21.
1. Confirm heat pump mode has been set to HER.
2. Set thermostat to desired water temperature.
3. Temporarily override the filter pump's time -clock for continuous operation.
o This will allow the Heat Pump the time required to heat the water at start-up.
o After the water has reached the desired temperature, the time -clock can be reset to normal operating
time -frames.
6.3 Initial Cooling Recommendations
The following recommendations will reduce the amount of time required to cool a pool or cold plunge
application. If unsure of equipment cooling capability, review equipment data plate. See "Identifying
Model Specifications" on page 21.
1. Confirm heat pump mode has been set to 100.
2. Set thermostat to desired water temperature.
3. Temporarily override the filter pump's time -clock for continuous operation.
