Electrical connections made improperly, or the use of wire gauge sizes for
incurring power which are too small, may continually blow fuses in the electrical
equipment box, may damage the internal electrical controls and components, may
be unsafe and in any case will void your warranty.
It is the responsibility of the spa owner to ensure that electrical connections are
made by a qualified electrician in accordance to the National Electric Code and
any local and state electrical codes in force at the time of installation. These
connections must be made in accordance with the wiring diagrams found inside
the control box. This equipment has been designed to operate on 60 HZ
alternating current only, 240 volts as required. Make sure that power is not
applied while performing any electrical installation. A copper bonding lug has
been provided on the electrical equipment pack to allow connection to local
ground points. The ground wire must be at least 6 AWG copper wire and must be
connected securely to a grounded metal structure such as a cold water pipe.
All Down East Spa equipment packs are wired for 240 VAC only.
The only electrical supply for your spa must include a 50 AMP switch or circuit
breaker to open all non-grounded supply conductors to comply with section 422-
20 of the National Electrical Code. The disconnect must be readily accessible to
the spa occupants, but installed at least five feet from the spa.
A Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must be used to comply with section
680-42 if the National Electrical Code. A ground fault is a current leak from any
one of the supply conductors to ground. A GFCI is designed to automatically shut
off power to a piece of equipment when a fault current is detected.
Power hook-up to the spa must be 240 volt stranded copper #6 AWG-3. Route
the cable into the equipment for final hook-up to terminals inside the control
panel.
Master Spas, or its authorized service centers will not be held responsible for any
damage to the spa caused by improperly wired spas. Replacement costs shall be
the responsibility of the customer.
