Balboa MVP 260 / VL260 E4 Oval Topside Control Panel - Complete Assembly with 7-Foot Cord
This complete topside control assembly is designed for Viking Brand hot tubs and other compatible spa systems using Balboa controls. The panel features four intuitive buttons controlling Jets, Jets, Temperature, and Light functions, accommodating both single and dual pump configurations.
Technical Specifications:
Manufacturer: Balboa
Model Numbers: MVP 260, VL260
Button Count: 4
Panel Shape: Oval / Elongated
Panel Dimensions: 7" x 2-1/8"
Cable Length: 7ft (84 inches)
Connector Type: 8-pin Cat 5 phone-style plug
Configuration: Complete topside assembly
Installation Notes:
The 84-inch cord length works ideally when the topside is mounted on the same side as the control pack. For installations where the topside is positioned on the opposite side of the spa, a 3-foot extension cable (Topside Extension Cable, Balboa, 8-Pin Conductor, Male to Female) is required to achieve 10-foot total reach.
Common Failure Symptom: These topside panels frequently fail with a characteristic scrolling malfunction where the temperature display continuously cycles between 80 and 100 degrees.
Replacement Overlay Options:
Overlay components and blackout adapter plates are available separately for this topside model, including MVP260/VL260 overlays and blackout topside adapter plates for Hydro-Quip systems (8-1/2" x 3-1/2") compatible with Eco-1, 2, 5, 6, VL-200, VL-240, and VL-260 models.
