SPA COVER INSTAllATION
• Place the cover squarely on the spa.
• Position the tie-down locks included with your cover on the side of the spa so that they are easily reached by the cover tie-down straps.
Allow for about ½ inch (1.3cm) to ¾ inch (1.9cm) slack in the straps to make it easy to insert straps into locks and to compensate for vinyl
shrinkage in cold weather.
• Attach the locks with the screws provided and insert the cover tie-down straps into the locks.
Note:
Keeping the cover in place any time the spa is not in use will reduce the amount of time the
heater operates, thereby minimizing operating costs
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
SElECTING THE VOlTAGE FOR YOUR SPA
The TX operates on 115 volts 15 amp and the sX operates on 115 volts 20 amp 60 Hz. Both the sX and TX can also be converted to either 115 volt 30
amp or 230 volt 50 amp. The
tempo
,
Relay
and
RHytHm
models require a dedicated 230 volt power supply. When the TX or sX spas are connected
to 115 volts 15/20 amp, the heater will provide approximately 1000 watts of heat only when the pump is operating in LoW speed and the thermostat is
calling for heat. When the TX, sX spas are connected to 115 volts 30 amp, the heater will provide approximately 1000 watts of heat when the pump
is operating in LoW or HIGH speed and the thermostat is calling for heat. When the TX or sX are connected to 230 volts 50 amps, the heater will
provide approximately 4000 watts of heat when the pump is operating in LoW or HIGH speed and the thermostat is calling for heat.
All electrical connections must be made in accordance with the wiring information contained in the electrical control box or on the back of the field
wiring access panel of the equipment module.
115 volT InSTAllATIon
spas provided with a factory- installed power supply cord are to be plugged into a grounded, grounding type, 115 volt, 15 ampere receptacle (TX)
or 20 ampere receptacle (sX model). No other electrical appliance or fixture can be used on this circuit.
ImpoRtaNt
: under
No
circumstances should an extension cord be used. use of an extension cord will seriously degrade the performance of the
equipment module and can create an electrical hazard.
230 volT InSTAllATIon
When using 230 volt power supply, installation of a 50 amp dedicated circuit is required. your spa must be hard wired direct to a GFcI-protected
subpanel by a licensed electrician. A wiring diagram is provided inside the equipment module showing where the connections are to be made.
ElECTrICAl rEQuIrEMEnTS And prECAuTIonS
your
Hot Spot
spa has been carefully designed to give you maximum safety against electrical shock. connecting the spa to an improperly wired
circuit will negate many of the spa’s safety features. Improper wiring may also cause electrocution, risk of fire, and other risks of injuries. Please
read and follow the electrical installation requirements and instructions for your spa completely!
