Detecting and also Mending a Sta-Rite Pool and Health spa Heater Making use of a Systematic Strategy - Segment 2

We will proceed our methodical approach to identifying a swimming pool heater by looking at what to do when the light in the control pad on the leading of your Sta-Rite swimming pool as well as day spa heating unit that is identified "service heater" is lit. (We will certainly find out more wage the presumption that you know everything from segment one.) This time around you will have to eliminate the sides from the heating system prior to detaching power to the heater to make sure that you could read the codes on the board affixed to the topside. After removing the sides, you will certainly see the large topside that is still hooked up to the heating unit. Below the topside is a metal panel that keeps the topside in place. Under this panel there are 2 locking pins (wedge pins). Very carefully get rid of both pins and also keep them somewhere secure up until reassembly. Gently eliminate the top as well as transform it upside-down. You will view a light lit on the board you are checking out when you turn the topside over. The light will be close to a code that is written on the board.

The first code that you'll see on the left side of the board will be PS. This is the code for the tension switch. We covered the pressure switch in sector one. If this light is lit return to sector one as well as examine that sector. If needed comply with the directions to switch out the stress button.

The next code you'll view on the board is HLS. If you have a controller on the device you will certainly have to bypass it currently. You will need to carefully disconnect the power from the heating system. After you make sure that the power is disconnected, you will certainly have to discover and also open up the high-voltage cupboard. This closet is a metal box in the middle of the heating unit. If you are looking at the closet, there is typically a screw on the top ideal side. Release the screw and the door will turn down towards you. You have to be exceptionally cautious when working in this box and just do so when you make certain that the power to the heating system is OFF.

You will certainly need to bypass the firewall software security interface. To do this you will need a brief cord with stab-tab ports. If you have a controller and it was appropriately installed the wire could have been left in the box by the tech that installed the controller. If not you will need to make this jumper cord. At this factor search in your proprietor's handbook to locate the two proper pins to connect to. If you have a controller or are using a firefighter's button this is where your control should be attached. If you have a controller as well as it is not connected below, it could be the source of your issues as well as either have a certified tech remedy the trouble or remedy it on your own.

You need to be careful not to put the jumper cord on the power terminals or you will destroy your heating unit by burning up the digital system. Use your handbook to find where the fire fighter's button is supposed to be attached and also very carefully connect your jumper between these terminals. If you now switch on the power as well as the heating unit functions without any issues, your problem lies in the controller or the electrical wiring visiting the controller. You will should difficulty shoot this device.

If you still have the exact same trouble with your heating system. ("service heating system" light comes on), leave the jumper in place as well as validate that the pump is on which you have great water flow. See to it again with your meter that the pressure button is not cycling. It must read as a dead short. (View section one) With great water circulation confirmed and also the "solution heater" light on, your issue could be one of the thermo-regulators in the safety and security technology.

Given that we started this with the sign light on the board lit beside HLS, the first thing we are visiting inspect are the cords visiting the high restriction switch. The high restriction button is situated near all-time low on the left side of the water manifold as you face it. To see it you should eliminate the side cover on the water manifold. The screw that holds the cover is on the top of it. You should make sure that the orange wires visiting the button are in one piece, affixed as well as not corroded. If the electrical wiring is good, utilize your multi-meter to examine that the higher limitation switch checks out as a dead short. If it reviews open and also the water is not over 104 F, change the higher limit switch. If this does not fix your problem you might have a bad control board and also it will certainly have to be changed. Screening the control panel is an extremely involved process as well as will certainly be managed in a later sector.

This is completion of segment two and also has actually taken you through part of the security circuit in the heating system as well as 2 of the indication lights on the board. We will certainly continue on with our methodical diagnose of issues on the Sta-Rite pool and also medspa heating unit in the following section.
