GFCI Safety Feature
The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or
Residual Current Detector (RCD) is an impor-
tant safety device and is required
equipment on a hot tub installation.
(The GFCI Test Feature is not available on CE rated
systems.)
Used for verifying a proper installation
Your spa may be equipped with a GFCI
Protection feature. If your spa has this feature
enabled the GFCI Trip Test must occur to allow
proper spa function.
UTILITIES – GFCI TEST FEATURE
Within 1 to 7 days after startup, the spa will trip the GFCI to test it.
The GFCI must be reset once it has tripped. After passing the GFCI Trip Test, any subsequent GFCI
trips may indicate a ground fault or other unsafe condition. Reset the GFCI breaker. It it will not
reset, contact your dealer.
Forcing the GFCI Trip Test (North America Only)
The installer can cause the GFCI Trip Test to occur sooner by initiating it using the above menu.
The GFCI should trip within several seconds and the spa should shut down. If it does not, shut
down the power and manually verify that a GFCI breaker is installed and that the circuit and spa
are wired correctly. Verify the function of the GFCI with its own test button. Restore power to the
spa and repeat the GFCI Trip Test. Once the GFCI is tripped by the test, reset the GFCI and the spa
will operate normally from that point. You can verify a successful test by navigating to the above
menu. “Passed” should appear after the Reset line is selected on the GFCI screen.
Warning:
On those systems that automatically test the GFCI within 1 to 7 days after startup:
The end-user must be trained to expect this one-time test to occur.
The end-user must be trained how to properly reset the GFCI.
If freezing conditions exist, the GFCI or RCD should be reset immediately or spa damage could
result.
CE Product:
CE registered systems do not have an RCD Test Feature due to the nature of the electrical service.
Some UL registered systems do not have the GFCI Test Feature activated.
The end-user must be trained how to properly test and reset the RCD.
