TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Your Control System is designed to provide years of trouble-free pool and spa enjoyment. However, if at any time your
System should behave erratically, consult the following Check List, which should help to alleviate any problems caused
by operator error. If you are still unable to solve your particular symptom, refer the situation to a qualified Pool Service
Company.
GENERAL
1. Check all circuit breakers at electrical sub-panel.
2. At the LX-100 RF Power/Load Center, ensure that all the Service Switches are in the “AUTO” position.
NOTHING OPERATES
1. Check 3-amp circuit breaker which is located above FILTER PUMP Time Clock in LX-100 RF Power/
Load Center. Tripped circuit breaker is indicated by a white tab. Push to reset.
2. If circuit breaker continues to trip, refer to a qualified Service Company.
FILTER PUMP DOES NOT OPERATE
1. At the LX-100 RF Power/Load Center, check that the FILTER PUMP Time Clock is programmed on.
2. Turn the FILTER Service Switch to the “ON” position. If the pump still does not operate, consult a
qualified Service Company.
FILTER PUMP DOES NOT TURN OFF
1. At the LX-100 RF Power/Load Center, check that the FILTER Service Switch is not in the “ON”
position.
