HAVE YOUR ELECTRICIAN READ THE FOLLOWING
INFORMATION BEFORE INSTALLATION BEGINS
Electrical connections made improperly, or the use of wire gauge sizes for
incurring power which are too small, may continually blow fuses in the
electrical equipment box, may damage the internal electrical controls an
components, may be unsafe and in any case will void your warranty.
It is the responsibility of the spa owner to ensure that electrical connec-
tions are made by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and any local and state electrical codes in force at the time
of installation.
These connections must be made in accordance with the wiring diagrams
found inside the control box. This equipment has been designed to oper-
ate on 60Hz. alternating current only, 120 volts arerequired. Make sure
that power is not applied while performing any electrical installation. A
copper bonding lug has been provided on theelectrical equipment pack to
allow connection to local ground points. The ground wire must be at least
14 AWG copper wire (unless local orstate codes require a heavier gauge
wire) and must be connected securelyto a grounded metal structure such
as a cold water pipe. All equipment packs are wired for 120 VAC only. The
only electrical supply for your spa must include a 15 AMP switch or circuit
breaker toopen all non-grounded supply conductors to comply with sec-
tion 422-20of the National Electrical Code. The disconnect must be readily
accessibleto the spa occupants, but installed at least five feet from the
spa. A Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) (provided with the spa) must
be used to comply with section 680-42 of the National Electrical Code. A
ground fault is a current leak from any one of the supply conductors to
ground. A GFCI is designed to automatically shut off power to a pieceof
equipment when a ground fault is detected.
Power hook-up to the spa must be 120 volt 2 wire plus ground
(14 AWG copper).
Route the cable into the equipment area for final hook-up to terminals
inside the control panel. The spa must be hooked up to a “dedicated” 120
volt, 15 amp. The term “dedicated” means the electrical circuit for the spa
is not being used for any other electrical items (patio lights, appliances,
garage circuits, etc.). If the spa is connected to a non-dedicated circuit,
overloading will result in “nuisance tripping”which requires resetting of
the breaker switch at the house electrical panel.
