  • Page 4: Important Notices

    Important Notices These instructions apply to the spa equipment systems and preplumbed spa shells designed and manufactured by Sundance Spas. If this equipment system is to be connected to a spa made by a manufacturer other than Sundance Spas, certain instructions may not apply.
  • Page 5: Important Safety Instructions

    Important Safety instructions 1. Read all instructions before installing this spa equipment system. 2. Danger – A wire terminal marked “ground” is provided within the power box (Ill. 1, Item 13). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect this terminal to the grounding terminal of your electrical supply panel with a continuos green insulating copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment, but no smaller than No.

    Instead use two 45 degree elbows or, better still, gradual flex hose sweeps to make turns when possible. The pipes on the Sundance spa shell are color coded. Connect the equipment components to these pipes as follows:...
  • Page 7 Blower Loop— If the equipment system is installed at a level lower than the maximum water level of any spa besides a Sundance spa, measures must be taken to keep water from backing up into the air blower. When connecting the pipe from the air blower to the spa, route the pipe so that it rises at least 12 inches above the maximum water level of the spa.
  • Page 8: Electrical Installation Instructions

    Electrical Installation Instructions This spa equipment system must be permanently connected (hard- wired) to the power supply. No plug-in connections or extension cords are to be used in conjunction with the operation of this equipment system. Supplying power which is not in accordance with these instructions will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
  • Page 9 To provide an additional measure of safety, connect a separate #8 solid copper bonding wire between the spa equipment system current collector (grounding buss bar inside the control box—Ill. 1, item 1) and a local UL-recognized ground rod fully driven into the ground.
  • Page 10: Power Supply Requirements

    Power Supply Requirements The power supply required by the equipment system depends on certain variables as indicated in the table below. Note that these requirements are for the equipment system only. Power for an external electric heater, if used, must be separate from, and in addition to, the power supplied to the equipment system.

    (1) supplying power, (2) connecting the Sentry controls, (3) water piping and (4) heater sizing. Note: If an external gas heater is to be used, Sundance Spas recommends against using a heater rated at more than 250,000 BTU. External Electric Heater Follow the heater manufacturer’s instructions for installation of...
  • Page 12: Gas Heater--Electronic Ignition

    Gas Heater (Electronic Ignition) Make certain that the voltage of the heater employed is 240V to match that of the equipment system and that current supplied to the equipment system is sufficient to also satisfy the power requirements for both the heater and the equipment system. Ill.

    5), then connected to the sensor harness (Ill. 1, item 9). IMPORTANT: If this equipment system is being connected to a spa shell other than a Sundance brand, you must order the 45’ remote temperature sensor accessory (P/N 6600-135) and install it into the spa shell.
  • Page 15: Start Up

    To install the remote freeze sensor, secure the sensor to the pipe where the temperature is to be sensed using plastic tie straps. If needed, the wire may be lengthened by splicing-in additional wire making certain that the splices are tight. The wire must be protected to ensure that it cannot be accidentally disconnected or broken.
  • Page 16 thoroughly tested so that any leaks or other problems can be detected. We recommend filling the spa to an identifiable level and covering it to avoid water loss through evaporation. For one 24- hour period, the spa should be operated continuously, occasionally switching the dual-speed pump to high speed and turning on the single-speed pump and the air blower to test the pressure-side pipes.
