5. Wiring Configuration and DIP Settings
Setup 1 (As Manufactured) HIPot Testing Note:
Disconnect slip terminal with green
wires from J90 prior to performing
HiPot test. Failure to disconnect may
(Stereo) cause a false failure of the test.
(optional) Reconnect terminal to J90 after
successful completion of HiPot test.

DIP Switch Key
A1 Test Mode (normally OFF) Alert:
A2 “ON” position: Standard mode only Blower or 1-speed Pump 2 is
“OFF” position: Std/Ecn/Sleep mode changes allowed required, connect to J17/26.
A3 “ON” position: use Mini Panel * For no Blower and no Pump 2,
“OFF” position: use Digital Duplex or Light Duplex panel use GS500Z or GS515Z.
A4 Aux Freeze (must be OFF)

A5 A9 Circ Mode Pump 1 Speed
OFF OFF Non-circ 2-speed
ON OFF Circ "acts like Pump 1 low" (filters/polls/ect) 1-speed
OFF ON 24 hours with 3°F shut-off 1-speed
ON ON 24 hours with 3°F shut-off 2-speed
A6 “ON” position: 50Hz operation
“OFF” position: 60Hz operation
A7 “ON” position: Button layout will be: Pump 1, Light, Temp Down, Temp Up with J17/26 on 1-button Aux panel **
“OFF” position: Button layout will be: J17/26, Pump 1, Temp, Light
A8 “ON” position: temperature is displayed in degrees Celsius
“OFF” position: temperature is displayed in degrees Fahrenheit
A10 “ON” position: heater is disabled while any high-speed pump or blower is running (low amperage mode)
“OFF” position: heater can run while any/all high-speed pumps or blowers are running (high amperage mode)
* Panels with button layout are not compatible when either A3 or A7 is ON.
** J2 panel connector on Main Board must be a 6-pin connector. IR Receiver is not compatible.
Jumper Key
J11 If using 3kW or higher wattage heater, jumper can be set in either position, but may perform better on Pins 1 and 2.
If using 2.5kW or lower wattage heater, jumper must be set on 1 Pin only.
J12 Factory set. DO NOT MOVE.
Jumper must be on Pins 1 and 2 for GS51xZ/GS52xZ/GS5xxSZ/GS5xxDZ software.
Jumper must be on Pins 2 and 3 for GS50xZ software.
J43 When jumper is placed on 2 pins during power-up, system will reset persistent memory.
Leave on 1 pin only to enable persistent memory feature.
WARNING:
Setting DIP switches incorrectly may cause abnormal system behavior and/or damage to system components.
Refer to Switchbank illustration on Wiring Configuration page for correct settings for this system.
Contact Balboa if you require additional configuration pages added to this tech sheet.
