E:: If both breakers immediately trip, verify that the #12 AWG WHITE neutral wire is connected from TB-1 terminal 5 to the L1 (load neutral)

terminal of the 20 amp subpanel breaker. Each breaker should be tested prior to each use. Here’s how:

1. Push the “TEST” button on each GFCI breaker, and observe it click off.

2. Wait 30 seconds, then push the breaker switch to the OFF (down) position (to ensure that it has completely disengaged), then push the

breaker switch to the ON (up) position. If you don’t wait 30 seconds, the spa’s power indicator may continue to blink – try again.

If any of the GFCI breakers fails to operate in this manner, your spa may have an electrical malfunction, and you may be risking electrical shock.
Turn off all circuits and do not use the spa until the problem has been corrected by an authorized service agent.

G!! The exact physical location of the terminals on the GFCI

breaker will vary between manufacturers. Connecting the hot wire to the

neutral terminal will cause irreversible damage to the control box.
