Persistent Memory and Powering UpAny time you change DIP Switches or Software Configuration Settings thataffect parameters the user can change (any filter settings, set temperaturedefault, Celsius vs Fahrenheit, 12-hour vs 24-hour time, reminderssuppression, etc), you must reset Persistent Memory for your DIP Switch orSoftware Configuration Settings changes to take effect. You should also resetPersistent Memory after loading a new file into a board (using the ESM,purchased seperately).To reset Persistent Memory: Power down. Set A12 ON (See illustration below). Power up. Wait until “ ” or “ ” is displayed on your panel.Note: If “ ” appears see section below. Set A12 OFF. (This can be done safely with power on if you use a nonconductivetool such as a pencil to push the switch back to the OFFposition. Otherwise, power down before setting A12 OFF) Power up again (if you powered down in the previous step). For all other power ups, leave A12 OFF.About Persistent Memory and Time of Day Retention:This system uses memory that doesn’t require a battery to store a varietyof settings. What we refer to as Persistent Memory stores all the UserPreferences, as well as all the filter settings, the set temperature, and theheat mode.Persistent Memory is not used for Time of Day. Time of Day needs to be“kept running” (not just stored) while the power is off, so a separate RealTime Clock feature (on all models except the EL1000) keeps track ofTime of Day while the unit is off. Time of Day Retention, and Time of DayRetention alone, is controlled by the J91 jumper. J91 must be set accordingto main system panel used.RTCEnabled(Not Jumpered)Switchbank AJ91RTCDisabled(Jumpered)J91Switchbank Bmessage on power up:If “ ” appears before (and instead of) “ ” or“ ”, you have not configured DIP Switches and/orSoftware Configuration Settings in a valid manner. This must be correctedbefore you can reset Persistent Memory.The switch numbers, jumpers, or configuration settings displayed after“ ” are ones with which the system has found a configuration problem.For example: “” would mean that the combination of how you’ve setA5 and how you’ve set B2 is not supported on this system. “ ” would mean that there is a problem with jumper J99 “ ” would mean that the combination of howyou’ve set pump 3 for 1-speed and blower for 1-speed is not supportedon this system. “ ” would mean that the combination of how you’veset DIP switches which have been assigned to pump 3 and blower is notsupported on this system.Power Up Display SequenceUpon power up, you should see the following on the display: Three numbers in a row, which are the SSID (the System SoftwareID). The third display of these numbers is the Software Version, whichshould match the version of your system. For example, if these threenumbers are , that is a Mach 3 EL8000 at version 26. If there is a Configuration Error, the message (see above) willappear at this point (and none of the messages below will display).Otherwise what comes next is: An indication of either the input voltage detected (EL1000/EL2000), orthe heater wattage range supported (EL8000/GL2000/GL8000). Heater wattage display: “ ” means the system supports a heaterfrom 1 kW to 3 kW. “ ” means the system supports a heaterfrom 3 kW to 6 kW. “ ” means the system supports a 3 kWheater only. (These ranges may be modified slightly in the case ofspecial heaters, which the next bullet covers.) Input voltage display: A system showing “ ” supports 3 kWto 6 kW heaters. A system showing “ ” supports the very sameheaters, although at 120V those heaters will function at only 1/4 oftheir 240V rated wattage. (The system shows only either “ ” or“ ” as a general indication of input voltage; it does not show theactual input voltage.) If your system is using a special type of heater, a display such as “ ”may appear next. If your system is using the generic Balboa heater, noheater type display will appear. “ ” or “ ” will appear to signal the start ofPriming Mode.At this point, the power up sequence is complete. Refer to the User Guidefor the ML Series panel on your system for information about how the spaoperates from this point on.Page 455064-04_97_A

Ozone ConnectionsOzone Connector Voltage: The EL circuit board is factory configured to deliver a preset voltage (120Vor 240V) to the on-board ozone connector (J4). See the ratings table on the wiring diagram attached tothe cover of the enclosure for the configured voltage. For 240V output W13 connects to Red AC and for120V output W13 connects to White AC.The voltage to the ozone connector can be changed in the field if required. W13 just needs to be set forthe required voltage.Balboa Ozone Generator: If the board is set up to operate a 120V ozone generator, the connector on theozone generator is likely to be configured correctly, but should be compared to the illustration below.If a 240V ozone generator is required, be sure the red wire in the ozone cord is positioned in theconnector next to the green ground wire as described below.Note: A special tool is required to remove the pins from the connector body once they are snapped inplace. Check with your Balboa Account Manager for information on purchasing a pin-removal tool.Balboa Ozone connector configuration for 120V 60HzLine - Black conductorUse this slot for the leftover Red conductorCommon - Install the White conductor here for 120V ozoneGround (Green) conductorBGBalboa Ozone connector configuration for 240V 60HzLine - Black conductorUse this slot for the leftover White conductorCommon - Install the Red conductor here for 240V ozoneGround (Green) conductorFlat sides of sockets as shownBGW13 wire determines voltageJ93FUSE 10A 250VF59 J79J5 J4K10W15J6TRC6Line - Black conductorUse this slot for the leftover conductorCommon - Red for 240V or White for 120V ozone (See W13 wire)Ground (Green) conductorG NW8W13F4FUSE 3A 250VW12J10G NG NW9J21NELSJ16 12 VACJ81 J45 J41 J33Page 855064-04_97_A
