ELECTRICAL
WARNING: The power supply circuit to this heater
shall be protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI), in accordance with Art. 680 of the latest edi-
tion of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Failure to
do so could result in severe personal injury or death.
The GFCI devices shall be of the self-contained types,
circuit breaker types or the receptacle types. Feeder
ground-fault protection is not required where GFCI is
already provided in the branch circuits or receptacles
supplying power to the heater.
Electrical Disconnect
An electrical disconnect and over-current protection
device must be provided in accordance with local

RANGE FOR POOLS
codes. Keep wire runs as short as possible to mini-
mize voltage drop. Bring wires of size indicated from a
fused disconnect switch (customer furnished) with an
amp rating of at least 125% of the amp rating shown
on the spa heater nameplate. A ground lug is provided
for connection to the supply ground. A wiring diagram
of the heater is shown at right. It is also affixed to the
inside front cover of the units.
Field Wiring
Heater requires three-wire service. With 240 VAC
there are two hot wires and a grounding conductor.
Even when metallic conduit is used, the grounding
conductor must be run to the supply ground.
Field wiring connections are made to the electrical
entry at the left side of the unit. A hole in the jacket is
provided for a 1" trade size conduit hub. The location
of the field wiring box is shown below. Wire nuts are
used to connect all leads except the grounding con-
ductor, for which a pressure lug is provided.
NOTE: Heater grounding conductor shall be the
same or larger than the live power supply conductor.
Recommended Wire Sizes
for Field Connection
Use type THWN copper wire to the unit, with the AWG
wire sizes (Internal wire sizes may differ) listed in Table
A on the following page.
