E.) Installing the SPA-1R (continued)
Choosing the Power Source
When locating the power source, the
SPA-1R
should turn on and off when the pump and motor does. The best
location is the spa/hot tub’s timer box. If no timer box exists, you can use the pump motor as its power
source by removing the back plate.
Connecting the control box to the timer box
6.) Connecting the control box to a power source.
If the spa/hot tub’s pump stays on 24 hours a day, then connect to the circuit that
supplies power to the spa/hot tub’s pump motor. This may change the size of the
circuit breaker required, a certified electrician may be required.
We recommend adding a timer box if the spa/hot tub’s pump is on 24 hours a day.
The control box would be wired directly into this timer. This will help prolong
the life expectancy of the control box. Also by having control of how long the
control box is on allows the user to regulate the copper ion production more
precisely.
YOU MUST FOLLOW ALL LOCAL, STATE, NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL CODES WHEN
INSTALLING. A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN MAY BE REQUIRED.
When Connecting to the Timer Box
230 VAC - Connect the black (3 stranded) wire
cable to the 230 VAC timer box by stripping
the 3 wires and connecting the black and
white wires to the LOAD side on the timer
box. It makes no difference which colored
wire goes to the two load screws. Connect the
green wire to GROUND. When installed
correctly, the
SPA-1R should come on and off
when the power comes on and off. If this fails to happen, you have installed the unit improperly.
115 VAC - Connect either the white wire or the
black wire to the LOAD side on the timer box.
It makes no difference which colored wire
goes to the two load screws. Connect the green
wire to ground. When installed properly, the
SPA-1R should come on and off when the
power comes on and off. If this fails to
happen, you have installed the unit improperly.
