An electrical subpanel containing two GFcI breakers is included with each spa. We recommend that this subpanel be used to supply power and

protect the spa.
This subpanel requires a 70 amp, single phase, 230 volt, four wire service (two line, one neutral, one ground). The ground wire must never be less

than #10 AWG. use Nec 250-122 (table) and local codes for more information. A minimum #6 AWG solid copper bond wire is also required.
Mount the subpanel in the vicinity of the spa, but not within five feet, in accordance with local codes.

1.  To connect the electrical service, first remove the screws from the equipment compartment door
2.  Locate the spa control box. Remove the screws on the front of the control box and remove the control box cover.
3.  Route the electrical service from the subpanel into the spa equipment compartment.

NOTE

: The subpanel must be placed in sight of the spa, no closer than five feet.

4. connect wire to bottom of control box using a minimum of c/v” liquid-tight, flex conduit fitting.
5. Remove power jumpers A from TB-1

Wiring ConnECtionS

1.  Identify the TB-1 terminal block, located inside the control box at the lower left-hand corner.
2.  connect the #12 AWG, BLue wire, from the subpanel 20 amp breaker, terminal L1 to TB-1, terminal 1
3.  connect the #12 AWG, Red wire, from the subpanel 20 amp breaker, terminal L2 to TB-1, terminal 3
4.  connect the #12 AWG, BLue wire, from the subpanel 20 amp breaker, terminal L1 to TB-1, terminal 2
5.  connect the #12 AWG, Red wire, from the subpanel 20 amp breaker, terminal L2 to TB-1, terminal 4

NOTE

: The WHITe neutral wire must be attached to the LoAd neutral on the 230 volt, 30 amp breaker (not to the neutral bus bar in the

subpanel). The WHITe neutral wire coming from the breaker itself is already connected to the neutral bus bar.

6.  connect the #10 AWG, BLue wire, from the subpanel 30 amp breaker, terminal L1 to TB-1, terminal 5
7.  connect the #10 AWG, Red wire, from the subpanel 30 amp breaker, terminal L2 to TB-1, terminal 6
8.  connect the #10 AWG, WHITe wire, from the subpanel 30 amp breaker, terminal N (load neutral) to TB-1, terminal 7
9.  connect the #6 AWG, GReeN wire, from the subpanel GRouNd bar to TB-1, system ground terminal.
10.  using the pressure wire connector provided on the outside of the control box, bond the spa to all exposed metal equipment or fixtures,

handrails, and the concrete pad (if applicable) per N.e.c. and local codes.

11. Replace the control box cover and securely tighten the fastening screws. close and

secure the equipment compartment door as follows:
a.  Place top of door or panel directly below bartop against the frame of the spa.
b.  Push bottom of door or panel against the spa frame.
c.  slide door or panel upward (pushing in on center of door) until screw holes line up.
d.  slightly pull on door or panel, if door remains against the spa then replace the

screws.
e. If the door does not lock into position, repeat the previous steps.

once your spa has been filled with water, turn it on and test all of the circuit breakers.

NOTE

: If both breakers immediately trip, verify that the #10 AWG WHITe neutral wire is connected from TB-1 terminal 7 to the N (load neutral)

terminal of the 30 amp subpanel breaker. each breaker should be tested prior to each use.

To test the breakers:

1. Push the “TesT” button on each GFcI breaker, and observe it click oFF.
2. Wait 30 seconds, then push the breaker switch to the oFF (down) position (to ensure that it has completely disengaged), then push the

breaker switch to the ON (up) position. If you don't wait 30 seconds, the spa’s control panel may flash four lines on and off – try again.

If any of the GFcI breakers fails to operate in this manner, your spa may have an electrical malfunction, and you may be at risk of electrical shock.

Turn off all circuits and do not use the spa until the problem has been corrected by an authorized service agent.

SERVICE NOTE

: All

Hot Spring

spas have diagnostic functions that are displayed on the main control panel when the Power Indicator, Ready

Indicator or both are blinking. Follow the instructions in the troubleshooting section to identify and correct the cause.

WaRNING: Removing or bypassing any

GFCI breaker will result in an unsafe spa

and will void the spa’s warranty.
