2007 Sundance DCU-706 Document Includes Software, Operations and Final Testing Procedure Rosstech Digital Control Unit LED Light Controller for 2007 Production Software Notes, Testing and Operations Documentation Contact: Rob Love, Rosstech Engineering 71 15th Line South RR1, Orillia, Ontario, Canada, L3V 6H1, (705) 326-3761 Rev 1.9 2007 Sundance DCU-706 Document Includes Software, Operations and Final Testing Procedure 2 versions of software and hardware are required for 2007 production. Sundance DCU-6560-131, SD-880 Series, PN 6560-131 2007 Features inlcude:
Zone 3(1), RGBW, 4-O/Ps, Exterior Zone 2, RGB, 4-O/Ps, Top Side and waterfeature lights Zone 1(3), RGB, 2-O/Ps, Interior, underwater lighting 3 Button Auxiliary control panel functionality Single AC ON/OFF mode from the main control panel, to SW AC I/P Photocell enabled Temp probe and RF output enabled Music feature, not implemented Jacuzzi DCU-2560-131, Jac-J300/J400 and SD-780 series, PN 6560-132/2560-131 The feature list includes all of the above features with 2 changes, 2 Button Auxiliary control panel functionality No SW AC input control, constant 12vAC power only, all operations are handled from the AUX panel. Software Features to implement and Basic Operational Guidelines:
The original software design is based on the 2005/2006 version of the DCU-6600 Atmel processor software application. Basic operational features are very similar. Bryan Huff has supplied a chart for the modes of operation he would like to see included for both a Jacuzzi and Sundance version of the code. Basic Mode changes for the Standard 8 Modes are listed as per Bryan Huffs Excel Spreadseet chart, which will be included later in this document. The 5th draft rcvd Nov 14/06, has since been implemented in the Nov 27/06 final production code. There are 5 hidden modes on both the Jacuzzi and Sundance DCU. Standard Modes are all available with the use of the AUX Mode button only, both versions. Hidden Modes are available, if the lights are already ON, with a "Push and Hold" of the AUX button for 3 seconds, this will get you the first hidden mode, an additional Mode button press (short duration) will move to the next hidden mode and so on. A 5th push of the Mode Btn will get back to the standard modes of operation at the beginning of the sequence. A standard 2 Hr timeout is on all standard and hidden modes.
(** Question: can we make one of the hidden modes disregard the timeout for showroom operation**) 71 15th Line South RR1, Orillia, Ontario, Canada, L3V 6H1, (705) 326-3761 Rev 1.9 2007 Sundance DCU-706 Document Includes Software, Operations and Final Testing Procedure New Features Controls added for this DCU The Photocell feature and Default Mode The Exterior Zone 3(1) will operate on photocell control. ON during the night, OFF during the day, Exterior Zone3(1) only. When no photocell is installed the exterior lights and iPOD white lights will be ON all the time. If the Photocell Pins are shorted (jumpered) the lights will never be on, always OFF
**Note: A 10 second delay has been implemented in v1.40 software (Nov27/06) as per Charlie B. and Bryans 5th draft of the requested mode. The "default" colour mode will be initiated whenever the DCU is not in operation, so not turned on from the AUX panel or the SW AC input. To set/store the default colour mode:
With the interior lighting turned OFF (all lights off except the exterior on photocell control) Simply "Push and Hold" the Mode button for 3 seconds. Upon release of the button, a new mode will be selected, "Push and Hold" again for another 3 seconds to select the next default mode. Each "Push and Hold" button press will cycle through the STD mode list. Once a default mode is selected it will be remembered until the DCU power (tub power) is removed. Intensity of the default mode is not controlled. Temperature Probe and RF LCD Status Monitor The DCU contains an RF transmitter, operating at 433.92MHz, it has a periodic transmission of temperature data for a separate battery operated wireless LCD Status monitor. The intention is that the Status monitor can sit in a consumer's kitchen and have relaitvely up to date information ( approx. 15 minute intervals) on the status of the hot tub temperature in the backyard. This should aid in the ability to determine if a circuit breaker has popped or a tub is shut-down, especially during the critical cold winter months, where a freeze up would cause major disasters. The DCU transmits an updated temperature every 11 seconds.
"Unique ID"
Each DCU will have a Unique ID so it can transmit its code and not interfere with a neighbours LCD unit. There are 65,560 different combinations (0xFFFF), with 0xDEAD being an R&D test case.
"Offset"
Each DCU has a transmission delay upon startup based on the unique ID, this should enable tubs in the neighbourhood, that start at the same time, possibly after a power blackout, a chance to receive a clear transmission and not have 2 tubs broadcast at the same time. (16 variations, 1 second each) The LCD Status monitor will need to "Bond" to the unique ID of it's respective DCU. This is a one time procedure and does not need to be repeated for battery changes. 71 15th Line South RR1, Orillia, Ontario, Canada, L3V 6H1, (705) 326-3761 Rev 1.9 2007 Sundance DCU-706 Document Includes Software, Operations and Final Testing Procedure The DCU code must be able to be told to send the "Bond" command, while the LCD Status monitor is in a
"listening" for a "Bond" code, and cannot pickup a random transmission from a different tub. To send the "Bond" command from a DCU, it must be available during any operation status (lights on or off, 2 hr timeout On or off, AC On or Off for Sundance)
"Press and Hold" the Intensity button for 5-seconds (There is only 1 on Jacuzzi so it must be that one) The DCU will broadcast it's "Bond" command for a period of 4-minutes along with it's temperature transmission. Any LCD (with it's batteries freshly inserted within 20-minutes) listening during this procedure, will be bonded to this DCU, if it does not receive it's own tranmission first. The DCU, as long as it is powered, regardless of it's lighting status (ON or OFF), will send a periodic transmition of its temperature. (approx every 11 seconds, for a 0.11mS 4680 baud, packet) The actual baud rate and transmission scheme is as follows:
All packets with a 1 start bit, 0 stop bits and odd parity 11 bits/byte, 55 byte packet
(1) Sync byte and type of transmission (Bond or Temp)
(2) ID, with LSB first and inverted for Linx modules
(1) Temp packet in degrees F only now, as of v1.40
(1) CHKSM Temperature Probe Input The first specification for the Temperature probe to be used was the US Sensor Corp Probe. Sundance Part # 6600-144, now changed to the GE version DC95H303W, as per Tony S. The DCU is to be made to read the values of this probe with a provided R/T temperature curve chart. The DCU hardware is currently set to have the Resistive thermocouple to operate from the +5v line to the IC analog input pin, with a 18K resistor used to linearalize the termocouple for the intended range. When a thermocouple is not installed the pin will be pulled to GND. The LCD Status Display will read "Lo" when no probe is installed or the thermocouple cable is broken. Upper and Lower Limits are currently set to 55F-115F, or 13C-46C. Above or below that limit will display "Hi" or "Lo".
"Data Transmission", (4680 Baud, 8,0,1) Data is transmitted approx every 11 seconds. Initial data time is offset based on the inuque ID of the DCU, so all transmissions will not be happening at the same time after a power failure. Consists of: Sync Byte and command type(1), Unique ID Word (2), Temp (1), CHKSM(1).
"Bond" transmisstion: (4680 Baud, 8,0,1) Sent after a 3 second intensity button push transmission packcet is sent for 4 minutes upon regular 11 second intervals Consists of: Sync Byte and command type(1), Unique ID Word (2), Temp (1), CHKSM(1). 71 15th Line South RR1, Orillia, Ontario, Canada, L3V 6H1, (705) 326-3761 Rev 1.9 2007 Sundance DCU-706 Document Includes Software, Operations and Final Testing Procedure The Music Option (not operational for the 2007 production year) The music option will have to have some hardware additions (space available on the PCB already) for a stereo or mono music input. In the future this will allow the lighting to functionally "beat" with the music. Either on a simple Low frequency beat (drums, base etc) or on a 3 frequency spectrum of highs, mediums and lows for different colours to different beats.

Batteries are inserted, waits for a 20 minute period for new "Bond" command Flashes green if it already has a unique ID number in memory. Displays -- (2 dashes). Once the unit receives an update or the "Bond" command, it will display the current temperature. Wakes up listens for signal:
rcvs signal checks timing value displays temp value changes status to flash green (which is the same as previous?) if no signal is rcvd after 34 seconds, go to sleep wait for 15 minutes, lsiten for signal for 34 seconds. Change status LED to flash RED if it misses 2 updates (30 minutes) Change the display to remove the temperature reading and display -- , after 2 additional losses of signal
(total time 1Hr) Continues to flash Red with no display, until a return of the signal or the battery dies. If the signal returns (ie: after power failure), changes status LED to flash green Displays Temp Test condition:
A new LCD unit that is not "Bonded" to a unique ID will always recognize and display a temperature from a unique ID of 0xDEAD for test purposes. 71 15th Line South RR1, Orillia, Ontario, Canada, L3V 6H1, (705) 326-3761 Rev 1.9 2007 Sundance DCU-706 Document Includes Software, Operations and Final Testing Procedure LCD Status Monitor Point Form Installation and Operation Notes Remove unit from packaging Remove 2 screws from back cover Monitor is factory set to indicate degrees in Fahrenheit, for Celsius display, move the small black jumper
(located on a 3-pin header below the battery housing) from the left two pins to the right two pins. Insert 3 x "AAA" batteries (Alkaline or Lithium recommended) Replace the cover and screws First time installing batteries:
o Set the Status Monitor on or near the hot tub o Within 15 minutes of installing the batteries, on the hot tub lighting controls, press and hold the light intensity button (waterfall intensity on SD 880 series) for 10 seconds to bond the receiver. o Within 1 minute of bonding, the display will update with a temperature indication and the LED indicator will start flashing green every 15-30 seconds. Future battery changes simply replace ALL 3 BATTERIES and allow the unit time to receive several updates (30 minutes to 1 hour) If unit does not appear to update properly (after 1 Hr) o Ensure the tub is powered properly. o Move the unit closer to the tub to ensure it receives an update. o It is recommended to wait for 1Hr to ensure reception of several updates. Effective range is approx 150 ft in clear line of sight. Each obstacle (ie. wall, fence, window, pet, family member) will decrease this range. Range can also be affected by battery condition. If the unit indicates 'Lo' with no temperature units displayed, it could be indicating a problem with the thermocouple connection to the Lighting Controller. You may reverse the stand included on the back of the unit to make it a desk top unit. o Squeeze the arms at the top of the stand together to release it from the housing. o Reverse the stand and re-install the arms, forming a tripod stand. 71 15th Line South RR1, Orillia, Ontario, Canada, L3V 6H1, (705) 326-3761 Rev 1.9 2007 Sundance DCU-706 Document Includes Software, Operations and Final Testing Procedure Current Mode List Summary:
