SAFETY COMES FIRST. WHEN INSTALLING & USING THIS ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT,
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED!
1 READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
2 Electrical installa on must be completed by a qualified
electrician in accordance with all Na onal, Regional and
Local Codes and Regula ons in effect at the me of
installa on.
3 Connect only to a dedicated circuit protected by a class ‘A’
two - pole ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
4 Use copper conductors only!
5 The hot tub equipment and all electrical plugs, outlets and
lights within 1.5m (5 ) of the unit must be G.F.C.I
protected. Consult your electrician or local electrical
authority for further details.
6 A green colored terminal or a terminal marked “G”, “GR”,
“Ground”, or “Grounding” is located inside the supply
terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this terminal must be connected to the grounding
means provided in the electric supply service panel with a
con nuous copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit
conductors supplying the equipment.
7 At least two lugs marked “BONDING LUGS” are provided on
the external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal
box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
connect the local common bonding grid in the area of the
hot tub to these terminals with an insulated or bare copper
conductor not smaller than No.6 AWG (Canada/Europe) /
No.8 AWG (USA).
8 All field installed metal components such as rails, ladders,
drains or other similar hardware within 3 m (10 ) of the
hot tub shall be bonded to the equipment grounding bus
with copper conductors not smaller than No.6 AWG.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
• This guide is for standard installa ons where the wire run
is 15 m (50 .) or less. For longer wire runs, consult a
qualified electrician.
WIRE SIZE
NORTH AMERICA
• The minimum wire size for systems that require a 40A GFCI is # 8/3 c/w ground (also referred to as # 8 gauge / 4 conductor).
• The minimum wire size for systems that require a 50A GFCI is # 8/3 c/w ground (also referred to as # 8 gauge / 4 conductor).
• The minimum wire size for systems that require a 60A GFCI is # 6/3 c/w ground (also referred to as # 6 gauge / 4 conductor).
EUROPE
Standards for amperage breakers may vary from country to country in the CE controlled area. Please consult your local
installer for advice on breaker level and wire specifica ons. Some examples are below:
Breaker of 13A – wire must be 1.5 mm2
Breaker of 16A — wire must be 2.5 mm2
Breaker of 20A — wire must be 4.0 mm2
Breaker of 32A — wire must be 6.0 mm2
NOTE: Please consult your applicable electrical codes related to the size of conductors as they may vary from what is stated
above. Take into considera on the length of cable as well and increase as required.
