IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

REPLACING THE BACK-UP BATTERY :

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Basic safety precautions should always be followed when operating
and servicing this electrical equipment.
WARNING : To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to
use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

There is a small 3 volt lithium battery located on the backside of the CP-2000 Controller.
In the absence of power, this battery will keep the clock running and retain the
programming in memory for approximately 48 hours.
While power is connected to the system, the battery will not be dra~ned.
However. it is not rechargeable.
To replace the battery :
1. Remove the four mounting screws from CP-2000 Controller (2 at each side)
2 Carefully fold Controller out, still connected to cable.
3. Pry-out old battery from battery clip, and replace it w ~ t ha new one.
Pay special attention to the polarity ( + sign).
The Replacement battery is available directly from Compool (model BAT-3), or can b e

CLEANING THE SPA :

SAFETY FEATURES
HEATER PROTECTION :
A built-in electronic delay c~rcuitautorr~aticallyruns the f~lterpump for an additional four
minutes whenever the system is turned off.
This feature enables the heater to cool down, so that the heat exchanger and plumbing
are not damaged from overheating.
For testing and servicing purposes, it is possible to override this delay circuit b y pushing
the DELAY CANCEL Button at the CP-2000 Controller.

POOL CLEANER PROTECTION :
If your system incorporates an automatic pool cleaner, it will have been plumbed in
conjunction with the filter pump so that it must have water circulation in order to operate.
The CP-2000 incorporates the following protection features against possible p u m p
damage if there is no water circulation:
1. Your pool cleaner will automatically be switched off whenever water is being circulated
to the Spa.
2. The filter p u m p will automatically be activated whenever the pool cleaner is running.
even if the filter p u m p has not been switched on.
3. Additionally, whenever the pool cleaner is turned on: a built-in electronic delay circuit
will prevent it from running until 4 minutes have passed. This protects the p u m p from
possible damage caused by air which may have entered the plumbing since the
system was last used.
For testing and servicing purposes, i t is possible to override this delay circuit b y
pushing the DELAY CANCEL Button at the CP-2000 Controller.
4. If your system incorporates solar, the pool cleaner will automatically be disabled for a
period of 4 minutes whenever the solar system turns on. This protects the pool
cleaner from possible damage caused by residual air within the solar panels.

BATTERY BACK-UP :
In case of a power failure, a long-life battery automatically maintains the program and
clock functions of your Control System This safeguards against the equipment
operating erratically once power has been restored, and also eliminates the need to
reprogram whenever there is a power failure

For cleaning or maintenance purposes, it is possible to use the Control System to
automatically empty your spa and then to refill with clean water from your pool.
At the LX-10 Service Center:
1. Set SYSTEM CONTROL Switch to the "SERVICE position.
2. Set FLOW CONTROL Switch to the "DRAIN' position.
3. At the MANUAL CONTROL, set FILTER Switch to the "ON" position.
4. The spa will begin to drain into the pool. Do not drain completely, or prime will be lost.
CAUTION: Do not leave equipment unattended when draining or filling the spa.
5. When cleaning is complete. set FLOW CONTROL Switch to the FILL" position.
The spa will begin to fill with clean water from the pool.
6. When the spa water level has returned to normal, return FLOW CONTROL Switch to the
"POOL" position, FILTER Switch at the MANUAL CONTROL to the "OFF" position, and
SYSTEM CONTROL Switch to the "AUTO" position.

WINTERIZING THE SYSTEM :
During the winter season, it is possible to drain your pool and disable the pool equipment
from your control system. but still be able to use your spa. Consult a qualified service
company to drain your pool and protect the plumbing from freeze damage.
The following procedure will disable the pool equipment :
1. At the LX-10 Service Center, turn SYSTEM CONTROLSwitch to the "SERVICE" position.
and FLOW CONTROL Switch to the "SPA" position.
2. Unplug cables from Valve Operators.
3. At the LX-10 Service Center, turn FLOW CONTROL Switch to the "POOL" position, and
SYSTEM CONTROL Switch to the "AUTO" position.
4. At the electrical supply panel, turn off the pool cleaner circuit breaker.
5. At the CP-2000 Controller, turn POOL Heat Select Switch to the "OFF' position.
6. If your control system incorporates solar, ensure that the panels are completely drained.
and, at the LX-10 Service Center, turn SOLAR CONTROL Switch to the "OFF" position.

If your system is equipped with Recirculating Freeze Sensors, it may not b e necessary to
drain the pool. However, it is recommended that all Freeze Sensors b e tested b y an
authorized Serviceperson before the onset of the winter season.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL :

SINGLE OCCURRENCE PROGRAM :

Separate electronic controls are provided for POOL and SPA heating.
Each control incorporates the following :

Occasionally, you may w~shto use your spa at a time which is different from your normal
