* This unit requires a 230 volts, three-phase, 80 amp (4 wire) circuit - actual amp
draw of 58 amps - This unit has approximately 5 ft. of # 4 AWG wire (3 hots, 1
ground) coming out of the left side of the back panel through a 1-inch liquid-tight
flex connector. This wire must be sleeved with flex and brought into a junction box.
Do not shorten wire, as this additional length is necessary to move the bed for service.
Contact a licensed electrician. Check local code for disconnect requirements.
* If three-phase power is not available this unit can be converted to a single-phase
unit. The unit will then have approximately 5 ft. of # 1 AWG wire (2 hots, 1 ground)
coming out through the 1-inch liquid-tight flex connector. It will then require a 230-
volt, 130 amp, (3 wire) circuit – actual amp draw of 98 amps.
If you require a unit to be single phase you must contact the Forever Tan Delivery
Department before delivery at 1-800-447-0040.
All locations are given as if you were standing in front of the bed or unit.
*** IMPORTANT ***
If 230 volts are not available a transformer will be
required.
Transformers are not included in the price of the bed/unit and must be purchased
separately.
Transformers are available from the Forever Tan Parts Department.
Forever Tan also sells “Panel Boosting” Transformers. These are available in 200,
400, 600 and 800 amp versions. If multiple units require boosting it may be more
cost effective to boost a whole panel instead of using individual transformers for
each unit/bed. Please allow 6 to 8 weeks lead time for these transformers.
It is the contractor or owner’s responsibility to purchase and
provide a location and hook-up of any transformers.
Junction Box Placement
Center – 10” up
These measurements are where the
conductors
come out of the
back
of the unit and
are given as if you are standing in
front
of the equipment. The junction boxes should
be placed within 1 foot of this. These conductors must be sleeved with liquid tight
flex.
