DIP Switches Explained
Basic spa configuration is achieved by setting dip switches. The dip switches determine pump configuration and select the number of input phases wired to the spa pack. The installer must correctly configure the dip switches to match the pump and power configuration connected to the spa pack.
The dip switch bank has six individual switches. Switches set to the top of the switch bank are in the ON position. Switches set to the bottom of the switch bank (closest to the numbers) are in the OFF position. Refer to tables below for dip switch settings:
