Setting V.ELE (Variable element operation) to “VARI”

Tech Note – Setting V.ELE (Variable element operation) to “VARI”

Variable element operation allows the SV controller to automatically adjust the heater power level to match the residual current available when accessory devices (ie pumps and/or blower) are operating. The benefit of this feature is the element can automatically reduce its power level and remain on instead of load shedding and turning off when spa is in manual use and jet pumps have been
activated.

Note: If disabled (OFF) the heating behaviour is the same as a standard element. Load shed settings may need to be configured to ensure the spa pack does not exceed its maximum current limit. The controller will not restrict power draw to the C.LMT value.

	To access and adjust this setting in the hidden OEM menu
	1. Simultaneously press and hold the “Air Blower” & “Water Clean” buttons together until “C.LMT” appears on the display (fig. 1)
	2. Use the UP arrow button to navigate through the configuration menu items V.ELE until “V.ELE” is displayed
	3. When “V.ELE” is displayed on the screen press the     OK and view the current setting (either “OFF” , “STEP” or “VARI”)
	4. Using the UP or    DOWN arrows navigate to “VARI”.
	5. Press OK and “V.ELE will be displayed on the screen.
	4. The touchpad can be either left and the screen will automatically timeout after approx 10 seconds, or you can use the down arrow to navigate to exit and press OK.
