module find its mating connector on the relay board. Nowhave an assistant turn on the circuit breaker while youwatch for three flashes of red light from the card insidethe module, near the back left side. If you don’t see thislight on power up, and the message is still present, the redmodule must be replaced.21. If the flashing red light is seen, but the “COMM Error”message is still present, another topside should be tried.Do not remove the old topside yet. Just turn off thebreaker, remove all modules, plug in another topside,replace the cover with 2 screws, install just the redmodule, and turn the breaker back on. If the message isstill there, turn off the breaker and install a new relayboard. (This should rarely be necessary.)22. A message of “ Replace Relay Board” will occur whenthere appears to be a failed component on the RelayBoard. Before replacing the board, however, verify theincoming ac power. Use a voltmeter to measure 120Vbetween Neutral and L1 and between Neutral and L2.Then look for 240V between L1 and L2. If these voltagesare not present, within 10%, call a qualified electrician forwiring corrections.23. If voltages are within range, verify that the 3 red jumpersare correctly installed on the board. All three should beconnected to L2, or 240V. Verify that all crimps are tight.24. If no other issues can be seen, the relay board must bereplaced. Turn off the circuit breaker and proceed tounplug all pumps, transformer, heater sensor, topside,LEDs, speakers, mp3, and antenna. It might be helpful tomake a sketch of actual connections before you start.The relay board is held by 4 screws, which can now beremoved.Re-connect all components according to your sketch. Becareful not to connect anything to the “AUX” connector,which has constant power on its pins. Turn the breakerback on and observe the self-test routine. The spa shouldnow be ready to use, since there is nothing else that couldhave caused the “Replace Relay Board” message.25
