230 Volt Electrical Installation
All 230V spas must be permanently connected (hardwired) to the power
supply. These instructions describe the only acceptable electrical wiring
procedure. Spas wired in any other way will void your warranty and may
result in serious injury.
This is the only acceptable electrical wiring procedure. Spas wired in any
other way will void your warranty. See the wiring diagram on page 15.
The electrical wiring of this spa must meet the requirements of any ap-
plicable local, state, and federal codes. The electrical
circuit must be installed by an electrical contractor
and approved by a local building / electrical inspec-
tor.
RCD and Wiring Requirements
The power supplied to the spa must be on a dedi-
cated RCD protected circuit with no other appliances
or lights sharing the power.
Use copper wire with THHN insulation. Do not use
aluminum wire.
Use the table on the next page to determine your
GFCI and wiring requirements.
When wires larger than #6 AWG are required, install a junction box near
the spa and use #6 AWG wire between the junction box and the spa.
Wire runs over 85 feet must increase wire gauge to the next lower num-
ber. For example: A normal 50 amp RCD with four #8 AWG copper wires
run over 85 feet would require you to go to four #6 AWG copper wires.
Testing the RCD Breaker
Test the RCD breaker prior to rst use and periodically when the spa is
powered. To test the RCD breaker follow these instructions (spa should
be operating):
Press the TEST button on the RCD. The RCD will trip and the spa will 1.
shut off.
Reset the RCD breaker by switching the breaker to the full OFF posi-2.
tion, wait a moment, then turn the breaker back on. The spa should
have power again.
