General Information
All electrical connections must be accomplished by a qualified electrician in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and in accordance with any local codes in effect at the time of installation.
All electrical connections must be made in accordance with the wiring information in this manual
or on the back of the field wiring access panel of the Equipment Module.
The Equipment Module is designed to operate at 240 volts 60 Hz. When the Equipment Module is
connected to 240 volts, the heater will provide approximately 6000 watts of heat when the
Circulation pump is operating, the Jet Pump is in HIGH or LOW speed, and the thermostat is
calling for heat. Shown on the following page are instructions for connection to a 240 volt
electrical service.
Connections must be made using copper conductors only. Field provided GFCI conductors,
circuit breakers or fuses must be sized to accommodate the total amperage load of the Equipment
Module.
WARNING: Improper electrical connections or conductor sizing may cause the
Equipment Module to operate improperly, create the potential for an electrical hazard and
may void the warranty.
CAUTION: Use only approved pressure type wire splicing or connectors suitable for the
size and type of wiring used.
The electrical supply for the product must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to
open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with Section 422-20 of the National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA 70. The disconnecting means must be within sight and readily accessible to
the user of the spa. It must be installed at least 5 feet (1.4M) from the spa.
Connect a NO. 8 AWG (8.4mm) solid copper bonding conductor between the Equipment
Module bonding lug and all other electrical equipment and exposed metal in the vicinity as may be
needed to comply with local regulations.
The Electrical supply must also include a suitably rated Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
to comply with Article 680-42 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
