Electrical Requirements
IMPORTANT:
Fill the spa with water before turning on the power.
Your
HOT SPRING
spa has been carefully designed to give you
maximum safety against electrical shock. Connecting the spa to an
improperly wired circuit will negate many of the spa’s safety features.
Improper wiring may also cause electrocution, risk of fire, and other risks
of injuries. Please read and follow the electrical installation requirements
and instructions for your spa completely!
DANGER. RISK OF INJURY.
• Never leave a spa uncovered or unattended.
• Never leave a spa cover unlocked.
• Do not stand, sit, or lie on the cover.
HOT SPRING
SPAS MUST BE WIRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL
APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES. ALL
ELECTRICAL WORK SHOULD BE DONE BY AN EXPERIENCED,
LICENSED ELECTRICIAN. WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF
APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL CONDUIT, FITTINGS, AND WIRE FOR
ALL CIRCUITS.
The
RELAY
,
RHYTHM,
PROPEL & STRIDE
spas require a 16 amp,
single phase, 240 volt, three wire service (one line, one neutral, one
ground). Additionally, one main disconnect switch with at least 3 mm
separation between contacts must be used for all electrical circuits to
the spa.
The SX & TX models may be converted to 20 amp allowing the heater to
run concurrent with the high speed jet pump when heat is called for.
NOTE:
An Authorized
HOT SPRING
Spa Technician must reconfigure
spa using the soft jumpers to allow the heater to run concurrent with jet
pump.
Mount the subpanel according to local codes, but not closer than 1.5
meters (5 feet) away.
CONDUIT INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
1. To connect the electrical service, first remove the screws from the
equipment compartment door. Carefully pull the door panel down and
away in order to remove it completely from the spa.
2. Locate the control box. Loosen the screws on the front of the control
box. Remove the screws and the control box cover.
3. Route the electrical conduit through the access openin g of the spa.
4. Connect the supply conduit to the control box and connect the wiring
as detailed on the next page, or on the wiring diagram label on the
inside of the control box cover.
WARNING
: Your spa must be supplied by a residual current device
(RCD) - with a tripping rating not exceeding 30 mA in an electrical
subpanel.
Removing or bypassing any RCD breakers will result in an unsafe spa
and will void the spa’s warranty.
IMPORTANT
: Should you ever find the need to move or relocate
your
HOT SPRING
spa, it is essential that you understand and apply
these installation requirements. Your
HOT SPRING
spa has been
carefully engineered to provide maximum safety against electric shock.
Remember, connecting the spa to an improperly wired circuit will negate
many of its safety features.
NOTE
: Long wiring runs may require larger-gauge wire than stated.
