LED Indicator Lights
The topside panel function buttons (i.e. Pumps, Light, and Blower) feature a green LED light to clearly
indicate whether the accessory is ON or OFF. The green LED will light up when the accessory is ON. In
addition, the topside panels have three red indicator LEDs to advise the user the current status of the spa:

AUTOMATIC MODE

The AUTO LED indicator turns ON when the filtration pump is in automatic mode. In automatic mode the
filtration pump will turn on / off as required to satisfy heating and filtration requirements. If the filtration
pump is manually turned on or off the AUTO LED indicator turns OFF. The control will automatically return
to AUTO mode after a 45 minute idle timeout period if not returned to AUTO mode by the spa user.

HEATER ON

The Heater LED indicator turns ON when the heater element is active. The heater is automatically
controlled, it will turn ON and OFF as required (in conjunction with the filtration pump) to maintain the set
water temperature. If the filtration pump is manually turned OFF the heater will NOT operate.

NOTE: In some configurations, engaging high speed on a 2 speed pump or operating multiple pumps will
cause the heater to load shed and turn OFF (even if heating is required) to keep the system within its rated
power supply.

SLEEP CYCLE ON

The Sleep Cycle LED indicator turns ON when the spa control is within a designated sleep cycle (if set).
During a sleep cycle, all automatic system operation will stop so that the spa is silent – i.e. filtration and
heating will not occur.

Display Modes
The SV Mini has three (3) x display modes. The spa user can scroll through the different displays by
pressing a short single press of either the UP or DOWN button. Each display has a unique icon to
indicate the current mode being viewed. As you scroll through each mode a brief title screen will be shown
followed by the actual display mode (note change in icon). The available display modes are as follows:

ICON TITLE DISPLAY NOTES:

W.TMP Water Temperature 1. The default display mode is (W.TMP) water temperature.

2. There is a 10 second inactivity timeout on all non-default

S.TMP Set Temperature displays. No button press for 10 secs display reverts to default.

TIME Clock 3. If no icon is displayed the temp shown is from when the
filter pump last ran. Once the filter pump next runs for 10 mins
the temp will update and W.TMP icon will return.

OTHER DISPLAY ICONS

operation so that corrective action can be taken.
Take note of scrolling error code and consult
trouble shooting section of this manual.

V.1704 Page | 7
 SET DATE/TIME BEFORE USING THE SPA
Vital control functions require the date & time to be set correctly. Be
sure to accurately set the date and time before operating the spa.

WATER CHEMISTRY MAINTENANCE

It is your responsibility to regularly check and maintain the chemical

water balance of the spa pool to ensure it remains within reasonable
pH (acid/alkaline) limits => (7.4 - 7.6 pH). Unbalanced water
chemistry greatly accelerates corrosion and may lead to early
product or component failure. Product or component failures
caused as a result of poor water chemistry maintenance will
NOT be covered by the SpaNETTM Product Warranty. We
recommend you carry out a daily water chemistry test to correctly
maintain the pH balance within reasonable limits.

SETTING THE DATE/TIME

Be sure to set the date and time before operating the
spa. Vital functions such as filtration, sanitisation
cycles and sleep timer settings depend on the time and
date being set correctly.

- Press a short single press of the DOWN button

to change display to Time/Clock setting

- Press the OK button to enter date/time

adjustment

- The settings appear in the following order:

o Time Format (24 hr / 12 hr)

o Year (yyyy)
o Month (mm)
o Day (dd)
o Weekday (mon-sun)
o Hours (xx:oo)
o Minutes (oo:xx)

- Press the UP or DOWN buttons to adjust each

setting

- Press the OK button to confirm each setting

and skip to the next one

- Once the minutes have been selected and

confirmed the system will exit the date/time
adjustment and the display will return to the
default display mode

NOTES:
1. Leap years are taken into account.

2. The system does not automatically adjust for

daylight savings times. User must adjust manually.

3. The date/time clock has a capacitor backup which

will hold the date/time even if mains power is turned
off. The capacitor backup will last 8-12 hours. If power
remains off for longer than this period the date/time
may need to be set again.

V.1704 Page | 8
AUTOMATIC HEATING / FILTRATION
The SV Mini spa controls have been designed with simplicity in mind. Their intelligent software constantly
monitors the spa water, automatically controlling the heater and filtration pump to ensure the desired set
water temperature is maintained and required level of daily filtration achieved.

With set-and-forget technology, the spa user simply selects their desired water temperature
(10oC - 41oC. Default = 38oC) and thereafter the spa control will automatically heat to and maintain that
selected water temperature. This is called demand heating - the filtration pump and heater will be activated
when required to maintain the set water temperature. The time spent heating the pool and running the
filtration pump under normal operation will be taken into account and where required the pump will run for
additional periods every three hours to maintain the minimum level of daily filtration as set by the user.

Dependant on the amount of normal spa use, set water temperature, minimum hours of filtration per day,
climatic conditions and season being experienced, the spa control will engage the heater and / or filtration
pump for differing periods of time, at differing times of day. The advanced software constantly monitors and
recalculates after each heating / filtration cycle to ensure the correct daily filtration time is achieved and
desired set water temperature is maintained.

Unless adjusted the SV controller will automatically heat to and maintain the default temperature of 38oC.
The water temperature set point can be adjusted from 10oC to 41oC in steps of 0.2oC increments.

Adjusting Set Temperature

- Press and hold the UP or DOWN button to begin set
temperature adjustment

- The display will show the (S.TMP) set temperature

indicator icon, the main digits flash and temperature will
begin adjusting

- Press the UP or DOWN buttons to adjust the set

temperature by 0.2oC increments to your desired
temperature

- Press OK to confirm and save setting, or wait for the 10

second idle timeout. The main digits will stop flashing
and display returns to default display mode

NOTES:

1. During a heating cycle the SV Mini may raise the water

temperature up to 0. 5oC above set temperature point to provide
an average water temperature of set point at most times.

2. If an optional heat pump is NOT fitted the spa controller has

NO ability to cool the spa water. Lowering the set temperature
point will NOT cause the water to cool.

3. If an optional heat pump IS fitted the spa water CAN be

cooled as well as heated. Lowering the set temperature point
will ensure the heat pump engages/disengages a cooling cycle
(if required) to maintain the desired set water temperature so
long as H.PMP mode is set to AUTO.

4. If the spa control has been in standby mode (idle) for some time and the set temperature point is
adjusted, the filtration/circulation pump may run for up to ten (10) minutes to complete a mixing cycle
before the heater / heat pump engages to heat or cool (heat pump only) the water. To skip this mixing
cycle and begin heating/(cooling) immediately press the PUMP A button multiple times to toggle the
filtration pump through ON/OFF/AUTO. Once AUTO is re-engaged the heater will activate immediately.

V.1704 Page | 9
PUMP OPERATION
A designated filtration pump (pump 1) will automatically switch on and off as required to perform filtration
and heating functions. All pump(s) will also operate for a short period during the daily sanitise cycle. In
addition, the following manual pump controls are provided and will override automatic control.

The pump buttons are located on the right-hand side of the topside panels. The functions of the pump
buttons change depending on pump configuration, however the Pump-A button is used to control the
filtration pump (pump 1). For every press of a pump button the screen will temporarily display the selected
pump state: ON, OFF, LOW, HIGH or AUTO and then revert to the default display mode. Possible pump
configurations & button sequences are referenced in the tables below:

AUTO DAILY SANITISE

The controller will automatically run a 10 minute sanitise cycle every day at 9:00am. This sanitisation cycle
runs the filtration pump and ozone/UV (if fitted) to filter the pool water to restore and refresh water quality.
If pump 1 is a 2 speed pump the pump will run in high speed for the duration of the cycle. In addition at the
start and end of the cycle the controller will sequentially run any additional accessories (auxiliary, pump2,
pump3 or blower if fitted) for one minute each to purge the plumbing and clear any unfiltered water trapped
in those accessory lines.

NOTES:

1. If the controller is in a programmed sleep period at 9:00am it will wait until the sleep period ends before
the daily sanitise cycle runs.

2. If the spa is in use prior to the 9:00am sanitise cycle start time the cycle is cancelled for the day. Spa in
use = button has been pressed and spa has not had the 45 minute inactivity time out expire since the last
button press.

SETUP MENU
The SV Mini controllers feature a setup menu which allows customisation of adjustable software settings.
These settings do not need to be modified often and in most cases the default settings are all that is
required, however if the spa owner wishes to customise any settings it is completed through the setup
menu.

2. A ten (10) second idle menu time out period exists. If a button press is not detected for 10 seconds the
menu will time out and the screen will return to the default display mode.

FILT – Filtration (total hours per day)

Automatic filtration is provided to ensure that the pool water is filtered for at least a minimum number of
hours each day. Total daily runtime can be adjusted from 1-24 hours (default = 2 hours). Total filtration
runtime is broken into smaller blocks which occur every three hours. All time spent running the pump under
normal operation (manual use, heating, sanitise cycle) will be taken into account and where required the
pump will run for additional periods throughout the day to maintain the minimum level of daily filtration as
specified by the user.

SNZE – Sleep Timer

The sleep timer is a very handy feature that enables the user to stop all spa activity and silence the spa
during certain times of day or night. While the controller is sleeping NO automatic heating or filtration
maintenance will occur, however the spa can still be operated by manual use without the need to adjust
sleep time settings. The sleep timer setup consists of defining days of operation and begin time and end
time of sleep period. Use the UP or DOWN button to adjust each setting within the sleep setup and press OK
to confirm and skip to the next setting. Sleep timer settings are referenced in the table below:

TITLE SETTING OPTIONS

1.DAY Selected days of operation Sat-Fri (7 days), Sat-Sun (weekend), Mon-Fri (weekdays), OFF
1.BGN Time sleep period begins Adjustable to any time 0:00 to 23:59 (Default = 22:00 PM)
1.END Time sleep period ends Adjustable to any time 0:00 to 23:59 (Default = 07:00 AM)

Notes:
1. SV Mini is preset with a default sleep timer – 7 days a week, begin 22:00 (10PM), end 07:00 (7AM)
2. Set 1.DAY=OFF to disable sleep timer
3. If spa in use at begin time of sleep period, spa will not sleep until 45 min inactivity timeout has elapsed

and connected to the SV Mini. This menu has three commands that can be executed. Use the UP or DOWN
buttons to select desired command and press the OK button to execute – display will show WAIT whilst the
WiFi module carries out the command.

HOT Puts WiFi module in hot spot mode for initial app setup. Note: Once initial app setup has been
completed if the HOT command is executed again all WiFi settings will be lost and the app setup
process must be run again.

INFR Forces WiFi module to disconnect/reconnect from the SpaNET app server to refresh connection if
spa is not automatically coming online once the app setup process has been completed.

RSET Deletes programmed settings from WiFi module and returns the module to its factory default state.
Note: If this command is executed settings are lost and the app setup process must be run again.

H.PMP – Heat Pump Mode

This setting is only visible if a SV Series heat pump is connected and defines heat pump operating mode.
The available operating modes are as follows:

AUTO Heat pump will heat and cool

HEAT Heat pump will only heat (Default)
COOL Heat pump will only cool
OFF Heat pump disabled

H.ELE – Heat Pump + SV Element Boost

This setting is only visible if a SV Series heat pump is connected and defines how the SV Mini electric
heating element operates with a heat pump. By default, this setting is set to OFF which disables the electric
heater using only the heat pump for heating. Set to ON to allow the electric element to run in conjunction
with the heat pump to boost heating speed if the water temperature is 2oC or more below set temperature
point or the heat pump has been operating for more than 1 hour and set point has not been achieved. The
H.ELE setting choices are:

After initial mains power on the SV Mini will perform a fast heat up cycle that enables continuous demand
heating regardless of programmed/default sleep timer. Once the set temperature has been reached the fast
heat up cycle is cancelled and normal operation resumes and sleep timer is obeyed. The purpose of a fast
heat up cycle is to help the spa reach set temperature as soon as possible after it has been powered up. For
new spas or spas refilled with cold water it is desirable not to have sleep time delaying the time to takes for
the spa to reach set temperature point.

NOTES:

1. A fast heat up cycle is cancelled by manually forcing the filtration pump to OFF via the keypad

2. For new spas or when a spa has just been refilled it is common for spa users to test the operation of each
pump when the power is first turned on. This process will cancel the fast heat up cycle. After completing
testing of the spa functions remember to reset mains power if you wish to reactivate fast heat up cycle.

Freeze Protection
Freeze protection will be activated whenever the water temperature drops below 4oC. It runs back to back
10 minute sanitise cycles and displays “WARM” on the LCD. It also runs each spa accessory (i.e. jet pumps
and air blower) in sequence to run water through the pipe work whilst running the filtration pump and
heater. During the “WARM” cycle the heater and heat pump (if fitted) will operate however heater load
shedding may occur when accessory pumps are running depending on control and load shed settings.

At the end of each 10 minute “WARM” cycle the water temperature is checked. If it is above 4oC freeze
protection stops and the controller returns to its prior state. If the temperature is not above 4oC another
cycle will run.

Note: Freeze protection overrides the sleep timer– if the water temperature drops below 4oC and the
controller is in a sleep period it will wake up. So even if high amounts of sleep time and a low set
temperature point have been programmed, the SV Mini will always maintain the water temperature at least
above 4oC.

Defrost Cycle (heat pump models only)

During periods of low ambient temperatures defrost cycles may be required to prevent the heat pump’s
condenser from freezing. Ambient and condenser temperatures are constantly monitored and defrost cycles
will be automatically activated if certain conditions are met. Defrost cycles run for a minimum of 3 minutes
to a maximum of 10 minutes.

Overheat Protection
All SV controllers feature three forms of overheat protection:

1. If sensed water temperature within the heater unit exceeds safe working limits the heating element
will be disabled and the controller will shut down and latch fault code (ER4 - Thermal Trip). Normal
operation will not resume until heater element has cooled and mains power is reset

2. If sensed water temperature exceeds 42oC filtration is stopped until the temperature falls below
42oC to prevent heat rise from filtration pump operation

3. If sensed water temperature exceeds 45oC the controller will shut down and latch fault code (Er5 -
Pool too hot). Normal operation will not resume until mains power is reset

ERROR CODES / TROUBLESHOOTING
SV spa controllers feature self-diagnostics and scrolling error messages to quickly troubleshoot possible
problems. Should the spa control encounter a problem the error code / message will scroll across the
topside panel screen until the problem is resolved. If an error condition is experienced all spa functions are
shut down and the spa should not be used until the error condition has been resolved. A list of error codes
with descriptions of problems and possible solutions is detailed below for your reference.

IMPORTANT NOTE

For most error codes mains power to the spa control must be turned OFF and then back ON
before the error condition will be cleared. Before attempting any troubleshooting always ensure
mains power is isolated and turned OFF.

Heartbeat LED

All SV Mini spa packs feature a red flashing heartbeat LED light. The heartbeat LED is located on the main
printed circuit board of the spa pack itself (spa pack enclosure cover needs to be removed).

The heartbeat LED flashes to indicate the current health/status of the spa pack. When the spa pack is
functioning correctly with no errors to report the heartbeat LED emits a single flash in a constant pulse
much like a heartbeat (ON, OFF, ON, OFF). If the spa pack encounters a fault the heartbeat LED will begin
flashing in sequence with the error code number being experienced (ie. ER2 = ON,ON; OFF ON,ON; OFF).

If the keypad display is ever blank a spa user can still determine the health / status of the SV Mini controller
by removing a panel from the spa skirt and checking the heartbeat LED on the front of the spa pack itself.

ER-2 HEATER PLUG

Problem: No heater sensor communication

Cause: Heater sensor communication problem. Sensor cable is not correctly connected to spa
control or is damaged

Solutions: Turn mains power OFF, remove spa cabinet panel and SV Mini enclosure cover
Check heater sensor cable is firmly plugged into spa control socket labelled HEATER
Unplug and re-plug heater sensor cable to re-establish connection to spa control
Check for damage to sensor lead, replace covers and test spa again
Contact spa reseller if problem is not resolved

ER-3 WATER PRIME

Problem: Water prime failed – air detected in heater tube

Cause: Airlock in pipe work, low water level, dirty filter cartridges

Solutions: Press Pump A button to retry water prime

Check spa water level (refill if necessary)
Remove filter cartridges and press Pump A button to retry prime
Bleed airlock from pipe work by slightly loosening couplings on front of filtration pump
Remove filter cartridges and flush water down pipe work with a hose

ER-4 THERMAL TRIP

Problem: Heater thermal trip activated. Heater has been active and has had insufficient water flow
over the element. Low or no water flow has caused the heater temperature to exceed its
maximum limits and the spa control has shut down operation to prevent any damage to the
heater unit

ER-4 THERMAL TRIP

Cause: Low water level, airlock in pipe work, closed shut-off valves, dirty filter cartridges, filtration
pump failed or operation intermittent

Solutions: Turn mains power OFF and wait 20-30 minutes for element to cool and thermal cut-out
device to reset. Then turn power back ON
Check spa water level (refill if necessary)
Remove filters and clean as per manufacturer’s recommendations or replace cartridges if
required
Check under spa cabinet to ensure all shut-off valves are in the OPEN position
Bleed airlock from pipe work by slightly loosening couplings on front of filtration pump or by
removing filters and flushing water down pipe work with a hose.
Contact your spa reseller if problem persists

ER-5 POOL TOO HOT

Problem: Pool over temperature. Temperature sensor reading ≥ 45oC

Cause: High ambient temperatures (especially in summer months) have caused water temperature
to rise above set temp point, Excessive filtration time, Jet pumps have been operating for
extended periods with the spa cover still on

Solutions: Turn mains power OFF, remove spa cover, allow spa to cool then turn power back ON
Check daily filtration time (refer filtration section) and reduce daily filtration time if required
Check spa cover is not resting on topside panel buttons causing jet pumps to start when
cover is on. Use keylock function to lock keypad buttons when spa not in use.
Contact your spa reseller if problem persists

ER-6 12V OVERLOAD

Problem: 12V (port) current draw over 1A limit

Cause: Total 12V current drawn by keypad(s), light(s), expansion ports and in pool temp sensor is
excessive, 12V power supply is overloaded, too many LED light bulbs installed, faulty LED
light

Solutions: Turn mains power OFF and restart spa to see if problem reoccurs
Perform EPRM software reset to factory defaults
Reduce number of LED lights connected to spa control
Systematically unplug lights, keypads and expansion port loads from spa pack (one by one)
to identify the faulty 12v device
Contact your spa reseller if problem persists

ER-8 CTRL FAULT HVS

Problem: Heater relay is on when it should be off

Cause: Power surge, periods of low or high voltage, water on spa pack terminal block, relay fault

Solutions: Turn mains power OFF and back ON again to see if spa control recovers from ER8 fault
Inspect under spa cabinet for evidence of water leaking onto spa control. If water present,
turn mains power OFF and isolate, then resolve leak, dry up excess water, and allow spa
control to dry out before restoring power.
Contact your spa reseller if problem persists
