There is are 2 wires one black and one red, 20 gage each under one coating. They both have male factory installed ends. Where does that hook into?
The black and red wires with male factory-installed ends connect to the terminal block (TB-1) inside the spa control box. The black (L1) and red (L2) wires are typically line connections for power input. Specifically:
- The red wire (L2) connects to TB-1, terminal 3 or 4.
- The black wire (L1) connects to TB-1, terminal 2.
These connections provide the 230V line voltage to the spa.
