Failure to follow these instructions will terminate all warranty coverage

and can cause serious injury or death.

Your 60 Hz Artesian spa is preset at the factory to run on 240V with a

48 amp input. This feature gives you the most performance out of your

spa. This will require a 240V, 60-amp GFCI If a 60-amp service is not

available, your spa can be made to run with 32 or 40 amps input rating.

Press the SELECT key on the spa control pack to change the input rat-

ing.

Your export 50 Hz Artesian spa is preset out of factory to run 230V-

240V 3 wires 30 amp max input. This product must always be con-

nected to residual current device (RCD) having a trip current of not more

than 30 mA.

ELECTRICAL WIRING

according to these instructions. Failure to do so will terminate all

warranties and all listings from the independent listing facility.

The spa must be hard wired to the power supply, with no plug-in connec-

tions, extension cords, or sharing of service.

2) The spa requires that you run 6 (10 mm²) or 8 (8.4 mm²) AWG copper

wire, depending on the GFCI size. Do Not Use Aluminum Wire.

3) The power supply must have a suitable Ground Fault Circuit Inter-

rupter (GFCI), according to Section 422-20 of the National Electrical

than 30 mA. This could be used as the shut-off switch, which must be

installed in plain view of the spa. This electrical service must be readily

accessible to the spa occupants, but must not be within 5 feet of the

spa.
