Electrical Installation Instructions
A copper bonding lug connector has been provided on the Spa Control Pack to allow for
connection to local ground points. A 6 AWG copper ground wire is required and must be
connected securely to a grounded metal structure item such as a cold water pipe or the main
ground lug inside of the connecting electrical panel.
1. A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, GR, Ground, Grounding, or the symbol * 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 continuous copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors
supplying this equipment.
*IEC Publication 417, Symbol 5019.
2. A bonding lug has been provided on the outside of the Equipment Package electrical control
box. The lug permits the connection of No. 8 AWG (8.42mm
2
) solid copper bonding
conductor between the Equipment Module and all other electrical equipment and exposed
metal in the vicinity, as may be needed to comply with local regulations. 02895224
3. All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or other similar hardware
within 5 feet of the spa or hot tub shall be bonded to the equipment grounding bus with
copper conductors of No. 8 AWG.
4. This unit must be hardwired only to supply circuit that is protected by ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI). A GFCI is required by all building codes and should be provided by the
installer and must be tested before use. Consult GFCI manufacturers’ instructions for correct
testing and operation.
5. The electrical supply for this product must include a suitable rated switch or circuit breaker to
open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with the National Electrical Codes. The
disconnection means must be readily accessible to the tub occupant but installed at least 5
feet (1.5M) from spa water.
6. Spas must be installed with drainage for electrical equipment compartment.
7.
Do not permit any electrical appliance such as a light, telephone, radio, or television within 5
feet (1.5m) of a spa.
*Note:
Connections made improperly, or the use of wire gauge sizes for power connection which
are too small, may continually blow fuses in the spa control pack, may damage the internal
electrical controls and components, and/or may be unsafe and in any case will VOID the spa
Warranty.
