Specialised four-button main topside with programming controls for Gecko IN.Clear water treatment systems

🎛️ Product Overview

The Gecko IN.K200 Topside Panel (TS-AE201) is a specialised main topside control panel designed exclusively for Gecko IN.Clear water sanitisation systems. Unlike standard spa control panels, this In.Clear variant features dedicated programming controls for managing your spa’s advanced salt-water chlorination and water treatment functions.

Featuring the compact 120 mm × 51 mm form factor, the IN.K200 (In.Clear) includes an LED screen for status display along with four dedicated buttons: Pump, Prog (Program), Up, and Down.

💧 What is IN.Clear?

Understanding Gecko IN.Clear:

IN.Clear is Gecko Alliance’s advanced salt-water chlorination and water sanitisation system for hot tubs and spas. Instead of manually adding chlorine, IN.Clear automatically generates chlorine from salt dissolved in the spa water, providing:

Benefit	Description
Automatic Sanitisation	Continuous chlorine generation
Softer Water	Salt-water feels gentler on skin
Reduced Chemical Handling	No manual chlorine dosing
Consistent Levels	Maintains stable sanitisation
Lower Running Costs	Salt is cheaper than chlorine

The IN.K200 (In.Clear) panel is the dedicated control interface for managing all IN.Clear functions.

Choose IN.K200 (In.Clear) When:

• Your spa has a Gecko IN.Clear water sanitisation system
• You need to program and control salt-water chlorination
• You’re replacing a faulty IN.Clear topside panel

🎛️ Purpose & Application

What Does the IN.Clear Topside Control?

Unlike standard spa topsides that control jets, temperature, and lighting, the IN.K200 (In.Clear) is dedicated to water treatment functions:

Function	Description
Chlorine Output	Set sanitisation level (low to high)
Boost Mode	Increase output after heavy use
Pump Control	Operate circulation for water flow
System Status	Monitor IN.Clear operation
Programming	Configure system parameters

Why a Dedicated Panel?

The IN.Clear system requires specific controls not found on standard spa topsides. The Prog button and specialised LED display are essential for proper operation and adjustment of the salt-water chlorination system.

🛠️ Installation Guide

Before Installation:

• ⚠️ Disconnect power to system at the isolator/breaker before any work
• ⚠️ Verify your system is Gecko IN.Clear
• ⚠️ Download and use the drilling template for accurate cutout
• ⚠️ Plan cable routing to IN.Clear system
• ⚠️ Prepare mounting location for 120 mm × 51 mm panel

Installation Steps:

1. Turn off power at the isolator/breaker
2. Use the drilling template to mark cutout position
3. Cut opening according to template dimensions
4. Remove existing topside panel if replacing
5. Route cable from installation point to IN.Clear system
6. Connect the IN.LINK connector to the IN.Clear’s topside port
7. Mount the IN.K200 panel in the prepared cutout
8. Ensure watertight seal around panel

🔗 Wiring & Connection

Connector Information:

Specification	Detail
Connector Type	IN.LINK
Operating Voltage	12V

Connection Location:

The IN.K200 (In.Clear) connects to the IN.LINK port on the Gecko IN.Clear water sanitisation system. This is a dedicated connection for the IN.Clear unit, not a standard spa pack.

⚠️ Never force the connector. The IN.LINK plug should connect smoothly. If it doesn’t fit, verify you’re connecting to the correct port on a compatible IN.Clear system.

🔍 Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
LED screen blank	No power or loose connection	Check power and reseat IN.LINK connector
No chlorine output	Cell needs cleaning or replacing	Clean or replace IN.Clear cell
Low sanitisation	Output level too low	Increase level via Prog menu
Error codes	Various system issues	Refer to IN.Clear manual for meanings
Pump not responding	Pump fault or flow issue	Check pump and water flow
Buttons unresponsive	Connection or panel fault	Check IN.LINK connection

IN.Clear Specific Issues:

• Low salt level warning – Add salt to spa water
• Cell maintenance required – Clean electrolytic cell
• Flow error – Check circulation pump and filter

🔩 Maintenance & Care

Routine Care:

Task	Frequency
Wipe panel with soft damp cloth	Weekly
Check button responses	Monthly
Check LED display clarity	Monthly
Inspect watertight seal	Annually
Clean IN.Clear cell	As indicated by system

DO NOT:

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between this and other IN.K200 panels?

A: This IN.K200 (In.Clear) variant is specifically designed for Gecko IN.Clear water sanitisation systems. It has a Prog (Program) button for configuring chlorination settings, unlike standard spa topsides that control jets and temperature.

Q: Can I use this to control my spa’s jets and temperature?

A: No. This panel is designed only for IN.Clear water sanitisation control. For standard spa functions (jets, temperature, lighting), you need a different IN.K200 variant or appropriate topside for your spa pack.

Q: What is IN.Clear?

A: IN.Clear is Gecko’s salt-water chlorination system that automatically generates chlorine from salt in your spa water, providing hands-free sanitisation.

Q: Is my system compatible?

A: This panel is compatible ONLY with Gecko IN.Clear water sanitisation systems. Check your system label to confirm.

Q: What does the Prog button do?

A: The Prog (Program) button allows you to access IN.Clear programming modes to adjust sanitisation output levels, activate boost mode, and configure system parameters.

Q: What size is the panel?

A: The IN.K200 (In.Clear) measures 120 mm × 51 mm – the same compact size as the 2 pump variant.

Q: Is a drilling template available?

A: Yes, a drilling template PDF is available for download to ensure accurate cutout preparation.

Q: My IN.Clear shows an error – does this panel fix it?

A: If your existing panel is faulty, replacing it may resolve the issue. However, many IN.Clear errors relate to the cell, salt levels, or flow – not the topside panel. Diagnose the error first before replacing the panel.
