ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
AND INSTALLATION
The following information is provided for hooking up electrical supply to
your new spa. A qualifi ed, licensed, electrician must perform this work.
Failure to follow these instructions will terminate all warranty coverage
and can cause serious injury or death.
Your Artesian spa is preset at the factory to run on 240V with a 48
amps input. This feature gives you the most performance out of your
spa. This will require a 240V, 60-amp GFCI. If a 60-amp service is not
available, your spa can be made to run with 32 or 40 amps input
rating. Press the SELECT key on the spa control pack to change the
input rating.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
WARNING: Your spa must be wired by a certifi ed electrician and
according to these instructions. Failure to do so will terminate all
warranties and all listings from the independant listing facility.
1) The Platinum Class Spa requires a 240 VAC dedicated
system. The spa must be hardwired to the power supply, with no
plug-in connections, extension cords, or sharing of service.
2) The spa requires that you run 6 or 8 AWG copper wire, depending
on the GFCI size. Do Not Use Aluminum Wire.
3) The power supply must have a suitable Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI), according to Section 422-20 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-7987. This could be used as the
shut-off switch, which must be installed in plain view of the spa. This
electrical service must be readily accessible to the spa occupants,
but must not be within 5 feet of the spa.
4) Use only non-metallic conduit and fi ttings when installing power to
the spa.
5) After your spa has been positioned, route lines through the knockout
on the left or right front corner of the spa.
6) Connect the power to the spa.
