Editing Settings
Each submenu has a list of settings
shown with its current value.
Settings are cycled through using the Temp button, and Jets1 puts the
current setting in edit mode. While in edit mode the value portion will
flash, and the Temp button is used to cycle between possible values for
the setting. Once the desired value is displayed the Jets1 button is pressed
again to accept the new value. If the Light button is pressed, or the menu times out, before
the Jets1 button is pressed the new value is discarded and the original value of the setting
restored.
The Test Mode Submenu
The Test Mode Submenu is used during service by a qualified technician and is not intended
for normal spa use or settings.
The User Preference Submenu
The User Preference submenu is entered by pressing Jets1 when USr is displayed on the panel.
This menu has three settings:
Sr - Suppress Reminders
When set to Y, reminders are never displayed on the panel. When set to n, all reminders to
be displayed.
tc - Temperature in Celsius
Temperatures are displayed on the panel in degrees Celsius if this is set to Y, Fahrenheit if n.
24 - 24-hour Time Display
Time is displayed in 24-hour (military) format if Y, 12-hour (am/pm) if n.
These settings need to be reset after a service call, they do not affect the safe operation or
performance of the spa.
The SSID Display
The SId selection is not a menu. Pressing Jets1 while SId is displayed will cause the
manufacturer, model, and software version IDs to be displayed in sequence just as they are at
system power-up (such as 100 - 133 - 10) followed by the firmware version number (e.g. 2.1).
This menu is useful for service technicians.
Note: System firmware may be updated from time to time. If your spa is ever reprogrammed
with new firmware, request a new Installation and Configuration Guide to determine if any
new user settings have been made available. Call Balboa at 800-645-3201 for information
regarding updated documentation and software.
Time of Day: Time of day is preserved in 30-day battery backup on EL 5000 and
EL 8000 Systems. Only panels that have a “Time” button can display time-of-day. All spa
settings except time of day are preserved in persistent memory indefinitely, unless reset during
service. EL1000 and EL2000 systems reset the time of day on each power-up, requiring time of
day to be reprogrammed.
Reference cards for the different control panels are supplied with the spa.
