PCB to check that the water sensor is connected and is functioning correctly. Thermal Cut-out Each SP601 contains a thermal cutout device (also known as a klixon). It is an electro- mechanical device that acts as a switch. When it is heated above 50° C +/-3° C it switches off creating an open circuit. -
Page 10: Temperature Sensor
It is housed in a tubular pocket that extends into the heater tube’s water flow. The temperature sensor is sealed into the pocket and plugs into the SP601 PCB. This sensor configuration is known as ‘in-heater’ temperature sensing. -

Spa Power Variable Colour Light (SPVCL) All SP601 controllers can operate one ‘Spa Power Variable Colour Light’ (SPVCL). Utilising the latest in efficient LED lighting technology, the SPVCL offers long life and a range of vibrant colours to make any pool look stunning. The SPVCL is controlled via the controller’s poolside touchpad. -

They are generally between 80W and 375W and have flow rates of up to approx 200l/m. All SP601 controllers have been designed to operate in conjunction with small circulation pumps but care must be taken to ensure that the following points are considered. -

If a pump is used 24hrs/day it will wear out faster than if it were used 12hrs/day. On SP601-T models the circulation pump is turned off when the system is asleep. This feature may be used to extend the circulation pump’s life. -

This is a special case in that it is not a latching error. It is not necessarily a problem with the SP601 itself but indicates that no water is being detected in the heater. The LED display will show “H2O”. Pressing the Pump button will run the pump associated with the heater (Pump1 or Circ Pump) for 10 or 60 seconds respectively, to try to flood the heater tube. - Page 17 45° C or more. This is not necessarily a problem with the SP601 itself. It might be caused by excessive pump use during hot weather. In this case reduce the filtration time and increase the sleep time.

1) The clock won’t keep time. • Check that the power is always connected to the SP601. • Check the clock is plugged into the SP601 PCB and check the connection for corrosion. • The clock is faulty and needs to be returned for service. -
Page 19: Part Replacements
Every precaution has been taken to insure the highest quality and reliability is delivered in each SP601. However in the unlikely event that something does go wrong, it is normally a simple operation to replace the faulty section of the controller or the entire controller if necessary. -

Report Number : TEC135 Issue : Two Date : Mar 2006 Page : 21 Circuit B oard Taking anti-static precautions. The main anti-static precaution to take is to make sure your body is at the same electric potential as the circuit board. To do this first disconnect the power, then touch the neutral terminal on the mains terminal block. -

2) Can I mount the SP601 on its side? Yes, the SP601 can be mounted so that its heater tube is vertical with the water senor at the top. The water must flow from the bottom of the tube to the top. This will force out all air in the tube. -
