Marquis Spas Destiny Owner's Manual page 12

• For units used in other than single-family dwellings, a clearly labeled emer
gency switch shall be provided as part of the installation. The switch shall be
readily accessible to the occupants and shall be installed at least five feet (1.52
m) away, adjacent to, and within sight of the unit.
• A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of the control box to
allow connection of a bonding wire to any metal ladder, metal water pipe,
common bonding grid (reinforced concrete slab, ground plate beneath the
spa), or any other metal within 5 feet (1.52 m) of the spa. The bonding wire
shall be copper and at least #8 AWG (8.42mm²), #6 in Canada.
NOTE: Ensure the GFCI is properly installed. Failure to do so may result in spa
malfunction or damage which is not warranted. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
are available from your Marquis Spas dealer.

a GFCI Trip Test that must be performed to assure safety and allow proper spa
function.
AUTOMATIC TEST: Approximately 24 hours following startup, the spa will trip the
GFCI, testing it to insure it is functioning properly (do not call your dealer; this is a
signal that the spa is wired correctly). After the trip test is complete, reset the GFCI
as per the manufacturer's instructions and the spa will function normally.
-OR- MANUAL TEST: The installer can manually initiate the GFCI Trip Test at start
up with a button sequence on the control panel.
1. Press TEMP+, then JETS 1, then SPA LIGHT.
2.Press TEMP+ repeatedly until "gFC" is displayed, then press JETS 1.
3.Press TEMP+ until "Gt.n" is displayed, then press JETS 1 to initiate the test.
The GFCI should trip within several seconds and the spa should shut down. After
the trip test is complete, reset the GFCI as per the manufacturer's instructions and
the spa will function normally. If the test does not trip theGFCI, manually shut
down the power and verify that a GFCI breaker is installed and that the circuit,
GFCI, and spa are wired correctly. Restore power to the spa and verify the
function of the GFCI with its own test button. Reset the GFCI and repeat the GFCI
Trip Test.
After passing the GFCI trip test, subsequent GFCI trips indicate a ground fault or
other unsafe condition, requiring the power to the spa to be shut off. You can
verify a successful test by navigating to the "gFC" item as described above,
pressing JETS 1 and then pressing TEMP+ until you see "gS.P", a code that
signifies "GFCI Status – Passed".
WARNING: The GFCI Trip Test does NOT take the place of locating,
testing, and resetting the GFCI on a regular basis to verify its function.
If the spa is to be rewired, moved, or resold, the GFCI Trip Test should be reset so
it will test the new GFCI. The "GFCI status – Passed" must be cleared before the
test can be run.
