ACC Topside Control Panel – KP‑1005
The ACC KP‑1005 is a robust 5‑button SmartTouch Digital topside control panel from Applied Computer Controls (ACC), tailored for single-pump (often with an air blower) spa systems. Compact yet powerful, the LED display and button layout allow seamless control over temperature, jets, lighting, and timer functions.
Product Overview
The KP‑1005 measures approximately 5″ × 2.5″ (140 × 64 mm) and fits a typical 1¾″ × 4¾″ cut-out, making it compatible with most spa topsides. It includes a 5 ft 14-pin Mate‑‘N’‑Lock ribbon cable, offering plug-and-play installation. The LED display, coupled with a water-resistant overlay, delivers reliable performance even in wet conditions.
Button Configuration
The keypad features five membrane buttons organized as follows:
-
Top Row: Temp Up · Light · Jets
-
Bottom Row: Time/Down · (blank) · Set
System Compatibility
Designed to work with ACC SmartTouch Digital spa packs (e.g., SMTD‑1000, Uni‑Pack), the KP‑1005 is also compatible with Acura systems. It often replaces earlier models like KP‑1000. Always verify compatibility by matching part numbers rather than appearance.
