INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
ELECTRICAL
NOTe:
Verify the electrical service to match either the 120v
or 240v systems.
NOTe:
The bath is designed for indoor use only. The electrical
equipment must not be exposed to direct or indirect water
or moisture contact. The electrical equipment must also be
protected from dust and other airborne debris before, during,
and after installation.
Standard Edition Air-Whirlpool
The blower and pump are prewired to their control boxes. The
control boxes have a 36” cord with plug end. The blower and
pump control boxes are mounted on a stand that is temporarily
secured to the packing board for shipping. These boxes must
remain on the control box bracket so that the two boxes can
communicate properly through their infrared communication
feature. During installation, the control box bracket and controls
must be positioned horizontally and located to permit access
for inspection and servicing. The blower control box must be
plugged into a dedicated 120v (volt), 15A (amp), 60Hz (hertz),
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit and
the pump control must be plugged into another dedicated
120v, 20A, 60Hz, gFCI protected circuit.
If an optional 1kw (kilowatt) heater is operated with this control,
then the pump control and heater must be wired into a dedicated
30A (amp) service. Note: The pump and blower dedicated
circuits must only power their specified controls.
Signature Edition Air-Whirlpool
The blower and pump are prewired to individual control
boxes. The control boxes have a 36” cord with a junction box
connection. The blower and pump control boxes are mounted
on a stand that is temporarily secured to the packing board for
shipping. These boxes must remain on the control box bracket
so that the two boxes can communicate properly through their
infrared communication feature. During installation, the control
box bracket and controls must be positioned horizontally
and located to permit access for inspection and servicing.
The blower and pump junction box must be connected into
a dedicated 240v, 20A, 60Hz, gFCI protected circuit. note:
The pump and blower dedicated circuits must only power their
specified controls.
INSTALL SERVICE CONNECTION AT LEAST 6” ABOVE SUB
FLOOR.
A licensed electrician must provide the “dedicated” electrical
service protected by a GFCI. The location of the GFCI must be
at least five (5) feet away from the inside surface of the bath,
accessible for regular testing. Use copper conductors only.
DANGER — RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
: Connect only to a
circuit protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
In the unlikely occurrence of a current imbalance in the power
conductors, the GFCI will interrupt the power to the bath.
GROUNDING IS REQUIRED.
The unit should be installed by a qualified service representative
and properly grounded.
WARNING
: The electrical service to the GFCI must not be
interrupted by any control device. Likewise, the electrical
service from the GFCI to the bath control should be direct and
not interrupted by a switch. Never use a switch in conjunction
with a control device. This will
VOID THE MANUFACTURER’S
WARRANTY.
DANGER
:
Do not alter the factory installed wiring.
All building
materials and wiring should be routed away from the blower
body or other heat-producing components of the unit.

BE OBSERVED.
Where there are no local codes the
National
Electric Code (NEC)
and
Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC)
shall be
observed. It is the responsibility of the installer/owner to
determine specific code compliance prior to installation of
the product.
NOTe:
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
installation is to be done by a Massachusetts licensed
plumber.
REMOTE MOUNTING OF AIR BLOWER
The Jason Air-Whirlpool system has been factory installed
following E.T.L. Guidelines. During installation, if remote
mounting of the blower is desired or required, the following
procedures should be followed.
NOTe:
Do not remote mount the blower more than 15 feet away
from the air inlet of the bath. Choose a location as close as
possible to the bath to assure maximum efficiency.
1. The installer must determine the layout of the piping;
exact remote mount location; and service access before
beginning any work. Use 1.5” ABS or PVC plastic tubing.
Locate the blower in an area accessible for servicing.
NOTe:
A 15 foot extension replacement cable set can be
purchased from your Jason supplier, if needed. To insure
proper functioning of the system, avoid remote mounting in
a location which requires more than six (6) piping direction
changes. A 90° direction change should be made up of
two 45° elbows for maximum efficiency.
2. If the blower has been factory installed, disconnect the
blower from the air bath plumbing by removing the two
(2) screws on the check valve outlet and disconnect the
short piece of flex pipe between the check valve and the
elbow by removing the two (2) screws in the elbow. (Omit
this step on baths where the blower is not factory installed
and remote mounting is required.)
3. Install the blower in the remote location. The remote
mount locations’ ambient air temperature should remain
at approximately 22°C (72°F) for optimum air heating.
Make sure the blower is well ventilated. The blower mount
should be attached firmly to the floor. piping between the
remote blower location and the bath can be insulated using
a minimum of 1/2” thick insulation. Attach new piping to
the elbow of the existing piping.
