Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since some medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation. For Cord and Plug Connected Units Must be connected to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only. NEVER connect the spa to an extension cord.
Electrical Installation A licensed electrician must accomplish the electrical installation in accordance with the National Electric Code(NEC) Article 680, and any local codes in effect at the time of installation. Refer to the System Data Label for equipment voltage and maximum amperage draws.

Electrical Installation If your system was configured to include a 120VAC power cord, ensure that the proper receptacle has been installed (a dedicated circuit is required). DO NOT under any circumstances modify a 20 Amp plug to fit into a 15 Amp receptacle or use an extension cord.
Heater Installation The Lite-Leader Series Fixed Heater and "US" Series Slide Heater systems will arrive from the factory with the heater mounted in the bottom location as pictured in Step 1. The "US" Series Slide Heater can be installed and used in this configuration or you can move the Slide Heater to the back of the control as shown below to align easily with your particular plumbing arrangement.
10’ x 3/8” temperature sensor to replace the existing temperature sensor for “Drywell” applications. Option #3 Using your existing sensors: If you are replacing an existing Balboa Lite Leader system, you may use your existing sensors. This will be optional in applications with the temperature sensor installed in a “Wetwell”...
Temperature Sensor Connections Pressure Switch High-Limit Temp Sensor 1/4” Bulb 3/8” or 1/4” Bulb It is important to connect the sensor(s) to the correct position(s) on the PCB. Please refer to the photo above for the correct connection points. The Hydro-Quip Lite-Leader sensor kit has been developed to offer the maximum in flexibility.
Power Connection Use the illustrations and instructions below to connect your input power wiring. Always refer to the wiring diagram provided with your control (located inside the hinged cover) prior to connecting any wires. 120-Volt Blue & White Neutral Wires Crimped Together BLUE NEUTRAL WHITE...

Equipment Connections Voltage Conversions - All equipment circuits in this control system are convertible from 120v to 240v. Pump 1 is a two-speed pump utilizing the black wire for low speed and the red wire for high speed. Pump 1 is factory configured for 120V. To convert pump 1 to 240V, move the red coded white wire (Common) from N to L2.
Circuit Board Configurations Jumper J23 - 50 amp (high amp mode) / 20 amp (low amp mode). 50 amp 20 amp (default) J23 50A / 20A J23 50A / 20A Connector J1 - Spaside plug. Connector J20 - High Limit and Temperature sensor plug. While looking at the board in the above orientation, the high limit plugs in to the left side of the connector and the temperature sensor plugs in to the right side of the connector.
System Start-Up 1) Unplug the power cord (120-volt system only) or turn the electrical power “OFF” at the service or breaker panel (120 or 240 volt permanently connected units.) 2) Open all WATER shut-off valves. 3) For spas equipped with a hose bib or drain valve, make sure that it has been closed. 4) For spas equipped with in-line or pressure water filters, make sure that the filter nut, housing drain plug, and air relief valve are closed and tight.
Operation Considerations The following describes situations you may encounter and situations to be aware of. Warm Weather Conditions Since your spa will normally be expected to maintain warm to hot water ready for use, a great deal of attention has been directed to the energy conservation detail of insulation to keep electrical cost down.
Spaside Control Operation Displays water temperature and diagnostic messages. LED is lit when spa is heating. Controls the light and pump. Controls the water temperature. Temperature Adjustment (80°F - 104°F) The last measured water temperature is constantly displayed. To display the set temperature, press “Warm” or “Cool” once. To change the set temperature, press a temperature button again before the display stops flashing.
Spa Side Messages Overheat Protection (Spa is deactivated.) DO NOT ENTER THE WATER. If the spa water has reached 112°F, the display will flash “OH ”(meaning overheat). Remove the spa cover to cool the water. Overheating may occur if the filter cycle is set too long.

TroubleShooting Cont. Low Speed Pump Not Operational Circuit board configuration is Incorrect - Contact your local dealer. Pump Not Plugged-In - Plug in the Pump. Blown Fuse - Contact your local dealer. Jets Not Operational Pump Not Plugged-In - Plug in the Pump. Blown Fuse - Contact your local dealer.
Fixed Heater Pressure Switch Adjustment The function of the pressure switch is to turn the heater off if the pump stops operating or if there is a restricted water flow (dirty filter, obstruction in the spa plumbing etc.). The pressure switch has been preset at the factory to operate properly with your spas specific plumbing.
Slide/Versi-Heat Pressure Switch Adjustment **FOR ALL TESTS & ADJUSTMENTS UNPLUG THE “HEATER POWER” CORD** 1) With power to system turned OFF, unplug the Lt. Purple colored Heater Control cord. 2) Place an Ohmmeter across the pressure switch test points on the cord to verify a OPEN circuit.
System Data Label Note: This information will be necessary if you should ever have to request warranty or any other type of service. The system data label is located on the control box. This label is very important and contains information you will need to establish your electrical service. The voltage and amperage ratings are shown on the bottom of the label.
