INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
ELECTRICAL
Electrical Power Supply: These instructions are written
assuming 60Hz, 120V power supply. Special notations are
also included for export versions of the equipment and power
supply.
WARNING: Verification of electrical requirements MUST
be made before installation. Refer to the equipment labels
for voltage and frequency requirements.
NOTE: Verify that the electrical service matches either the
120v or 240v system requirements for this bath.
NOTE: The bath is designed for indoor use only. The electri-
cal 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.
1. Electrical Service: 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
(152cm) away from the inside surface of the bath, acces-
sible 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.
WARNING: The electrical service to the GFCI must not
be interrupted by any control device. Likewise, the electri-
cal 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.
2. GROUNDING IS REQUIRED. The unit should be
installed by a qualified service representative and
properly grounded.
3. INSTALL SERVICE CONNECTION AT LEAST 6" (15cm)
ABOVE SUB FLOOR.
ALL LOCAL AND STATE ELECTRICAL AND PLUMB-
ING CODES MUST 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 spe-
cific code compliance prior to installation of the product.
NOTE: In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, installa-
tion is to be done by a Massachusetts licensed plumber.
DANGER: Do not alter the factory installed wiring.
All building materials and wiring should be routed
away from the equipment or other heat-producing
components of the unit.

6. AirMasseur
®
Equipment (120V,60Hz).
This AirMasseur
®
system comes equipped with an
Air On/Off switch and control box. The blower is pre-
wired with a 36" cord with a NEMA plug end. The air
switch control box and tubing is temporarily secured to
the bath’s plumbing for shipping. During installation the
tubing must be attached to the bath’s air switch actua-
tor and the air switch control box. The air switch control
box should be relocated to its dedicated circuit outlet.
Connect only to a dedicated GFCI protected, 120V, 15A,
60Hz circuit with a service ground. The air switch tubing
must be firmly attached to the air switch control box and
to the air switch actuator. A small bead of silicone may
be added to the air tubing connections to help prevent
the tubing from disengaging. The air switch tub-
ing must also be installed to allow for a “drop loop”
(See Figure 3c). This will prevent any moisture from
entering the air switch control box from the tubing. Finally,
the blower will plug into the control box.
