Topside Installation

To determine the correct topside for your application: a) space required to fit the new topside when removing old topside and the hole into which it fits (the topside links take you to the topside page where there are schematics of hole fitment) b) your system output set up. 

We have produced a generic step by step guide for fitting your new topside here

Due to the vast array of sealants in the marketplace we only recommend using Silcoset Silicone Sealant - the industry leader

Amp cables plug into the PCB to operate the components

If upgrading from an even older system or a different manufacturer, typically the process is the same, but, you will probably have to convert your old cables (typically JJ plugs) over as this box uses plastic amp plugs to connect to the circuit board, from all internal components i.e. pumps, ozone & blowers.

An example of what you will need is:

1 x 4 pin cable (2 speed pump)
2 x 3 pin cable (1 speed pump, blower or ozone)
1 x 2 pin cable (Spa light)

You have your existing cables so these are not supplied with the packs, you typically just need some AMP plugs and the AMP chrimps.

This GS100 Control Box is an entry level system. It has a small and easy to mount and set up the control box with a separate remote heater, 2 dip switches allow you to program time out functions for both speeds of the pump via. This unit must be fitted by a competent individual or tradesman.

The Heater M7 comes with 1.5" connections.

The VL401 is part of Balboa's VL Duplex range & comes complete with a telephone cord style connector. It is designed to work with Global Series (GS) Series hot tub control systems. The sleek panels have LCD displays that have moving function indicator icons, maintenance reminders, and service alerts on the easy-to-read screen.
