50 AMP SUB-PANEL WIRING INSTRUCTIONS (SX & TX MODELS)
NOTE: The sub-panel must be placed within 100 feet (30.5m) of the main electrical service panel, and between 5 and 50 feet (1.5 and 15 meters)
away from the spa. Refer to the wiring diagram above.
1. Connect the #8 AWG, WHITE [NEUTRAL] wire from the main electrical service panel to the sub-panel NEUTRAL bar.
2. Connect the #10 AWG, GREEN [GROUND] wire from the main electrical service panel to the sub-panel GROUND bar.
3. Connect the #8 AWG, BLACK [L1] wire from the main electrical service panel to the sub-panel [terminal L1].
4. Connect the #8 AWG, RED [L2] wire from the main electrical service panel to the sub-panel [terminal L2].
5. Check the connections internal to the sub-panel and be sure that a pigtail wire exists between the neutral bar and the 50 amp breaker. NEVER
remove the pigtail wires!
6. Inside the control panel, locate the terminal block (TB-1).
7. Remove existing power cord.
8. Connect the #8 AWG, BLACK wire from the sub-panel 50 amp GFCI breaker [terminal L1] to TB-1 terminal L1.
9. Connect the #8 AWG, RED wire from the sub-panel 50 amp GFCI breaker [terminal L2] to TB-1 terminal L2.
10. Connect the #8 AWG, WHITE wire from the sub-panel 50 amp GFCI breaker [terminal N, load neutral] to TB-1 terminal N.
11. Connect the #10 AWG, GREEN wire from the sub-panel GROUND bar to TB-1 terminal GROUND.
The GFCI breaker inside the sub-panel supplies all of the power to the spa. Before each use, open the sub-panel and press the TEST button
located on the sub-panel GFCI breaker. The breaker should snap into the "tripped" position and the spa should stop operating. Reset the sub-panel
GFCI breaker by completely pressing the breaker switch down, into the off position. Then, flip the breaker switch up, into the on position. Power
should be restored and the spa should resume operation.
If the GFCI breaker fails to operate in this manner, it is an indication of an electrical malfunction and the possibility of an electric shock. Disconnect
the power until the fault has been identified and corrected.
IMPORTANT: Should you ever find the need to move or relocate your HOT SPOT spa, it is essential that you understand and apply these
installation requirements. Your spa has been carefully engineered to provide maximum safety against electric shock. Remember, connecting the spa
to an improperly wired circuit will negate many of its safety features.
