🎛️ Balboa AX10-A2 Auxiliary Control Panel – Remote Jets 2 Control for Larger Spas

💫 Single-button auxiliary panel for Jets 2 control from a secondary location – the current replacement for all AX10-A2 models

📋 Product Overview

The Balboa AX10-A2 Auxiliary Control Panel (TS-AX112) is the current production model for remote Jets 2 (second jet pump) control in larger hot tubs and spas. This compact single-button panel allows users to activate Jets 2 from a secondary location away from the main topside controls, providing convenient access to your second jet pump without needing to reach the main control panel.

Featuring a circular design with 54 mm diameter, the AX10-A2 fits into a standard 32 mm hole and comes with an impressive 5-metre cable length, allowing flexible installation at various positions around the spa. Operating at 12V, this panel connects via a 6-pin connector (2 rows of 3 pins) to the spa pack’s auxiliary port.

This model (TS-AX112) uses the current Balboa reference G8912 and replaces previous AX10-A2 topsides including part numbers 52764 and 52804. Please note that the overlay is not included with this model and must be purchased separately.

🔗 AX10 Series Comparison

Choosing Between AX10-A1 and AX10-A2:

Model	SKU	Balboa Ref	Controls	Use Case
AX10-A1	TS-AX111	G8911	Jets 1	Primary jet pump remote

🎯 Purpose & Application

What is an Auxiliary Panel?

Unlike main topside control panels that provide full spa control (temperature, all pumps, lights, modes), auxiliary panels are secondary controls designed to operate specific functions from remote locations around the spa.

Why Use an AX10-A2?

Scenario	Benefit
Large hot tubs with 2+ pumps	Control second pump from remote location
Swim spas	Activate Jets 2 from swimming area
Therapy zones	Dedicated control for therapy jets
Multi-zone spas	Independent control of different jet zones

Typical Installation Locations:

• Near seating areas served by Pump 2
• Opposite end of spa from main topside
• Adjacent to therapy jet zones
• Secondary user positions in large spas

⚙️ Installation Guide

Before Installation:

• ⚠️ Disconnect power to spa at the isolator/breaker before any work
• ⚠️ Verify your spa pack has Jets 2 (second pump) configured
• ⚠️ Locate available 6-pin auxiliary port on PCB
• ⚠️ Plan cable routing (5 m available length)
• ⚠️ Prepare 32 mm hole at desired location
• ⚠️ Purchase overlay separately if required

Installation Steps:

1. Turn off power at the isolator/breaker
2. Drill or prepare 32 mm hole at desired auxiliary control location
3. Route the 5 m cable from installation point to spa pack
4. Connect the 6-pin connector to the spa pack’s auxiliary port
5. Mount the AX10-A2 panel in the 32 mm hole
6. Apply overlay (purchased separately)
7. Secure panel and ensure watertight seal
8. Restore power and test Jets 2 function

Mounting Information:

Specification	Detail
Panel Diameter	54 mm
Required Hole Size	32 mm
Cable Length	5 m
Connection	6 small plastic pins (2 rows of 3)

⚠️ Professional installation recommended for drilling into spa shell and ensuring watertight sealing.

⚡ Wiring & Connection

Connector Information:

Specification	Detail
Connector Type	6 Small Plastic Pins
Pin Configuration	2 Rows of 3 Pins
Cable Length	5 metres
Operating Voltage	12V

Connection Location:

The AX10-A2 connects to the auxiliary panel port on compatible Balboa spa packs. Refer to your spa pack documentation for the specific auxiliary port location.

⚠️ Never force the connector. The 6-pin auxiliary connector is different from the 8-pin main topside connector. Ensure you connect to the correct port.

🔍 Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Button not responding	No power or loose connection	Check power and reseat 6-pin connector
Jets 2 don’t activate	Pump 2 not configured or faulty	Check pump 2 configuration and connections
Jets 1 activates instead	Connected to wrong auxiliary port	Check wiring corresponds to Jets 2
Intermittent operation	Cable damage or poor connection	Inspect cable and connectors
Panel loose in hole	Incorrect hole size	Check 32 mm hole size

Important Notes:

• The AX10-A2 only controls Jets 2 – it cannot control Jets 1 or other functions
• Ensure your spa pack has a second pump installed and configured
• If Jets 2 doesn’t work from the AX10-A2 but works from main topside, check auxiliary port connection

🧹 Maintenance & Care

Routine Care:

Task	Frequency
Wipe with soft damp cloth	Weekly
Check button response	Monthly
Inspect cable condition	Annually
Check watertight seal	Annually
Check overlay condition	Annually

DO NOT:

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between AX10-A1 (TS-AX111) and AX10-A2 (TS-AX112)?

A: The AX10-A1 controls Jets 1 (first jet pump) while the AX10-A2 controls Jets 2 (second jet pump). They are otherwise identical in specifications.

Q: I have an old AX10-A2 (52764 or 52804) – is this the correct replacement?

A: Yes, the TS-AX112 (Balboa reference G8912) is the current production model that replaces all previous AX10-A2 variants including part numbers 52764 and 52804.

Q: Is the overlay included?

A: No, the overlay is NOT included with the TS-AX112 and must be purchased separately. This differs from the older discontinued TS-AX102 which included the overlay.

Q: Can this panel control Jets 1 or other functions?

A: No, the AX10-A2 is specifically configured for Jets 2 control only. For Jets 1 remote control, you need the AX10-A1 (TS-AX111).

Q: Do I need a second pump for this to work?

A: Yes, the AX10-A2 controls Jets 2, which requires your spa to have a second jet pump installed and configured in the spa pack.

Q: What is the Balboa reference number?

A: The current Balboa reference for this model is G8912.

Q: What size hole do I need?

A: The AX10-A2 requires a 32 mm diameter hole. The panel itself is 54 mm in diameter (the flange that sits on top of the spa shell).

Q: Is the 5-metre cable long enough?
