To change settings on an Applied Computer Controls (ACC) spa topside panel, you primarily use the UP, DOWN, and SET keys. The specific method depends on whether you are making a quick adjustment (like temperature) or entering the deeper programming menu for filtration and system behavior.
1. Adjusting Temperature
- Access: Press and hold the UP (TEMP) arrow key for about 2 seconds until the display flashes the current set temperature.
- Change: Use the UP or DOWN arrows to reach your desired temperature.
- Save: Press the SET key to lock in the new temperature. If you don't press SET within 30 seconds, the change will not take effect.
2. Setting the Time of Day
- Access: Press and hold the DOWN (TIME) arrow key for 2 seconds. The display will show the current time (default is 12:00 noon).
- Change: Use the arrow keys to adjust the hours, then press SET. Repeat to adjust the minutes.
- Save: Press SET after the final minute adjustment to lock it in.
3. Entering Programming Mode (Advanced Settings)
This menu allows you to change filtration periods (
FP1 to FP4), durations, and other system parameters.
- Enter Menu: Press the SET and DOWN keys simultaneously. The code
FP1(Filter Period #1) should appear on the screen. - Navigate: Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to scroll through available parameters (e.g.,
FP1,FP1d,FP2). - Edit Value: When you reach a setting you want to change, press SET. Use the arrow keys to change the value.
- Confirm: Press SET to lock in that specific value and return to the menu.
- Save & Exit: To save all changes, scroll until the word SEND appears and press SET. To exit without saving, scroll to CANC and press SET.
4. Common Quick Controls
- Invert Display: To flip the temperature display (useful when viewing from inside or outside the tub), press SET and the UP arrow keys together.
- Locking the Panel: Some models use a 10-second hold on specific buttons or specialized menu icons to lock/unlock the panel to prevent accidental changes.
- Post-Use Filtration: Press the SET key after you finish using the spa to manually trigger a filtration cycle and instruct the system to resume automated management.

SmarTouch Digital comes to you with a universal set of default settings.
If you choose to keep these settings, then you only need to remember 2 things : how to set the spa temperature and to press the SET key whenever you are done using the spa.
Setting Temperature
♦ Press and hold the TEMP key for 2 seconds. Release all keys The display will flash the current selected temperature.
♦ Using the TEMP and TIME keys (UP and DOWN arrows) scroll to the desired temperature.
♦ Press the SET key to lock in the new selection The SET Key After using the spa, press the SET key to tell the microcontroller you are done using the spa.
It will then take over the spa’s management including the different filtration cycles, heat maintenance, economy modes and protection against freezing. Upon entering this mode the FILTER light is turned on and a post use filtration cycle is executed - that is when the spa needs filtration the most. The default system setting includes a 3 hour economy mode, the pump will come on at most once every 3 hours to sample water temperature and heat if necessary.
The controller remembers when you have used the spa and in anticipation of your next usage will perform a 3 hour Auto Filtration cycle before your next spa use.
SmarTouch Digital Series 1000 and 2000 is a family of intelligent, spa control systems. These systems are rich with features and can be extensively programmed to fit just about any need.
The rest of this manual will explain the function of each of the keys on the control panel, how to change programmed settings and what each setting does.
It will also explain all the error messages that you may encounter, and their significance and way to correct them.
