ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
To ensure you will have an opportunity to use your spa soon after delivery, it is very important that the required
electrical service has been installed. Unless otherwise stipulated by your dealer,
THIS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
.
IMPORTANT:
All electrical circuits must be installed by a qualified, licensed electrician.
230 VOLT INSTALLATION
Your spa contains a control box designed to operate at 230V, 60Hz. Installation of a 50 amp. dedicated circuit
is recommended. The control box must be hard wired directly to a subpanel protected by a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). The subpanel containing GFCI breakers is included with the spa.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
All electrical connections to the control box must be accomplished by a qualified electrician in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and in accordance with any local electrical codes in effect at the time
and place of installation.
All electrical connections must be made in accordance with the wiring information contained in this manual and on
the back of the field wiring access panel of the control box. A licensed electrician should install a four-wire electrical
service (two line voltages, one neutral, one ground) from the main electrical service panel to the subpanel. The
equipment pack requires a MINIMUM of 112 volts per line under load.
The grounding conductor must be at least #10 AWG. Your electrician should mount the subpanel in the vicinity of the
spa but it should not be closer than 5 feet (1.5 m) from the spa water edge (NEC 680-38 to 41-A-3).
INSTALLATION NOTE:
After the spa has been installed, your electrician can connect the conduit from the subpanel
to the spa’s control box and then complete the wiring connections in the control box.
NOTE:
Complete step-by-step Installation and wiring instructions for all models are included in the Owner’s Manual
and with each sub-panel, which can be obtained from your dealer.
WARNING:
Removing or bypassing the GFCI breakers in the subpanel at any time will result in an unsafe spa and
will void the warranty.
POWER CONNECTION
To connect power to the spa, refer to “230 VOLT WIRING SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM” and "POWER CONNECTION
ACCESS” illustrations. Then proceed with the following steps:
When supplying power, remove the screws securing the equipment door. Push the panel up to disengage the clip
and remove the panel to allow access to the input power wiring.
NOTE:
The 230V wiring diagram is located on the inside of the Control Box Cover.
IMPORTANT:
The following must be followed to properly install the equipment compartment door.
•
Place top of door or panel directly below bartop against the
frame of the spa.
•
Push bottom of door or panel against the spa frame.
•
Slide door or panel upward (pushing in on center of door to
ensure door clips catch) until screw holes line up, making
sure that the exterior fiber optic light cable will fit into the
fixture.
•
Slightly pull on door or panel. If door remains against the
spa, then replace the screws.
•
If the door does not lock into position, repeat the previous
steps.
