NORTH AMERICAN ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENT'S
HAVE YOUR ELECTRICIAN READ THE FOLLOWING
INFORMATION BEFORE INSTALLATION BEGINS
Electrical connections made improperly, or the use of wire incorrectly sized, may
continually blow fuses in the electrical equipment box, may damage the internal
electrical controls and components. Any of these conditions may be unsafe and will
void the warranty.
It is the responsibility of the spa owner to ensure that electrical connections are made
by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical 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 60Hz, alternating
current only, 240 volts are required. Make sure that power is not applied while performing
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 or 8 AWG copper wire and must be connected securely to a grounded metal
surface such as a cold water pipe. The electrical supply for your spa must include a 60
AMP switch or circuit breaker to open all non-grounded supply conductors to comply
with section 422-20 of the National Electrical Code. This disconnect must be readily
accessible to the spas occupants, but installed at least five feet from the spa but within
sight. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) must be used to comply with section 680-
42 of the National Electrical Code. A GFCI is designed to automatically shut off power
to a piece of equipment when a ground fault is detected.
Power hook-up to the spa must be a 240 volt 3 wire plus ground (6 AWG copper).
Route the cable into the equipment area for final hookup to terminals inside the control
panel. To install the wiring for the in.xe spa control, you'll need a Phillips screwdriver
and a flat screwdriver. Loosen the 2 screws of the Spa Pack door and open it. Remove
5 1/2" of cable insulation, Strip away 1" of each wire insulation, Pull the cable through
the cutout of the box and secure it with a strain relief (1" NPT strain relief; hole diameter:
1.335"). Make sure that only the uncut sheathing is clamped at this opening.
Push the color-coded wires into the terminals as indicated on the sticker and use the flat
screwdriver to tighten the screws on the terminals.
After making sure wire connec- tions are secure, push them back into the box and close
the door. Tighten the 2 screws of the Spa Pack door.
Connect the bonding conductor to the bonding lug on the front of the in.xe Spa Pack
(a grounded electrode conductor shall be used to connect the equipment grounding
conductors). The spa must be hooked up to a "dedicated" 240 volt, 60 amp breaker and
GFCI. The term "dedicated" means the electrical circuit for the spa is not being used
for any other electrical items (patio lights, appliances, garage circuits, etc.) If the spa is
connected to a non-dedicated circuit, overloading will result in "nuisance tripping", which
requires resetting of the breaker switch located in the house main electrical panel.
(Excludes any 110/120 volt models.)
