Basic System Features and Functions

Any time you change a DIP Switch, other than A1, you must reset Persistent
Memory for your new DIP Switch Settings changes to take effect. If you do
not reset Persistent Memory, your system may function improperly.
To reset Persistent Memory:

s Power down by disconnecting power source from spa.
s Put a jumper across J43, covering both pins. (See illustration below)
s Power up by connecting power source to spa.
s Wait until is displayed on your panel.
s Power down again.
s Remove jumper from J43 (May also move to cover 1 pin only)
s Power up again.
About Persistent Memory and Time of Day Retention:
This system uses memory that doesnt require a battery to store a variety of
settings. What we refer to as Persistent Memory stores the filter settings,
the set temperature, and the heat mode.
Persistent Memory is not used for Time of Day. Only models with a
Serial Deluxe panel installed (VS5xxDZ and GS5xxDZ) can display the
time. However, during power loss to the spa, the system will lose the
correct time, and reset to 12:00 PM when power is restored.
Power Up Display Sequence

Upon power up, you should see the following on the display:
s Three numbers in a row, which are the SSID (the System Software
ID). The third display of these numbers is the Software Version,
which should match the version of your system. For example, if these
three numbers are
, that is a VS511SZ at version 38.
s Displayed next is: (indicating the system is configured for
a heater between 3 and 6 kW) or (indicating the system is
configured for a heater effectively* between 1 and 3 kW).
should appear for all VS models running at 240VAC.
should appear for all VS models running at 120VAC, as well
as all GS models. (*A heater which is rated at 4 kW at 240VAC will
function as a 1 kW heater at 120VAC.)
s will appear to signal the start of Priming Mode.
At this point, the power up sequence is complete. Refer to the Reference
Card for the VS or GS System model of your spa for information about how
the spa operates from this point on, including how to adjust the Time of
Day if using a Serial Deluxe style panel.

Jumper Key
J11
If using 3kW or higher wattage heater, jumper can be set in either position, but may perform better on Pins 1 and 2.
If using 2.5kW or lower wattage heater, jumper must be set on 1 Pin only.
J12
Factory set. DO NOT MOVE.

Jumper must be on Pins 1 and 2 for GS51xZ/GS52xZ/GS5xxSZ/GS5xxDZ software.
Jumper must be on Pins 2 and 3 for GS50xZ software.
J43
When jumper is placed on 2 pins during power-up, system will reset persistent memory.
Leave on 1 pin only to enable persistent memory feature.
WARNING:
sSetting DIP switches incorrectly may cause abnormal system behavior and/or damage to system components.
sRefer to Switchbank illustration on Wiring Configuration page for correct settings for this system.
sContact Balboa if you require additional configuration pages added to this tech sheet.
