User manual SUNDANCE SPA EQUIPEMENT SYSTEM

[. . . ] To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect this terminal to the grounding terminal of your electrical supply panel with a continuos green insulating copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment, but no smaller than No. (This equipment system may be installed within five feet of the spa if, in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990, each metal surface is permanently connected by a No. 8 AWG copper conductor attached to the wire connector on the terminal box provided for this purpose ­ Ill. CAUTION ­ This equipment system must be hardwired to the household electrical service box only. [. . . ] No plug-in connections or extension cords are to be used in conjunction with the operation of this equipment system. Supplying power which is not in accordance with these instructions will void the manufacturer's warranty. The power supplied to this equipment system must be a dedicated circuit with not other appliances or lights sharing the power provided by the circuit. 3. All electrical work must be done to National Electrical Code (NEC) and any other applicable electrical codes. 4. The electrical circuit must be installed by a qualified electrician and checked by a local building/electrical inspection authority. 5. The electrical circuit supplied for the spa must include a suitable ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) as required by NEC Article 680-42. 6. Refer to the table titled "Power Supply Requirements" (Ill. Select wire type and size based on the power requirements and the length of electrical run per National Electrical Code requirements. (Note: When using wire larger than #6, add a junction box near the equipment system and reduce to short lengths of #8 to connect to system. ) 7. To gain access to the main terminal connection for the spa equipment system, remove the front cover of the control box. 9. Using a connector feed the cable through the opening provide on the bottom of the control box (Ill. Do not neglect to run the ground line as serious damage could result. 5 11. To provide an additional measure of safety, connect a separate #8 solid copper bonding wire between the spa equipment system current collector (grounding buss bar inside the control box--Ill. 1, item 1) and a local UL-recognized ground rod fully driven into the ground. Ill. 7. External Ground Buss Power Supply Entrance Light Terminal Strip Internal Ground Buss Control Wiring Entrance Cover Screw Ozone Check Valve 8. Main Terminal Connection 6 Power Supply Requirements The power supply required by the equipment system depends on certain variables as indicated in the table below. Power for an external electric heater, if used, must be separate from, and in addition to, the power supplied to the equipment system. 2 Power Supply Required For Equipment System Only Using Integral In-Line Heater?NO YES YES Circuit Breaker 30A dual pole 50A* dual pole 60A dual pole Number of Wires 3 3 3 24 40 48 Current Draw (Amps) If the home's electrical service does not have the full 50A, 240V power available, the spa may be connected to 30A, 240V service if a minor circuit board modification is performed by the dealer. In this configuration, the heater will yield the same rate of temperature increase as in 50A operation, but will not operate while the high speed of either pump or the air blower is operating. This could result in rapid cooling of the water while the spa is being used during periods of cold ambient temperatures. *In 50A configurations, the heater will not operate while both pumps are operating at high speed. 7 Use of External Heater If a heater other than the in-line electric heater included in the Sundance equipment system is used, certain issues must be addressed to assure optimum operation of all components. [. . . ] If needed, the wire may be lengthened by splicing-in additional wire making certain that the splices are tight. The wire must be protected to ensure that it cannot be accidentally disconnected or broken. Run the connector through an opening in the bottom of the control box and plug it into the JP20 connection on the Sentry circuit board (Ill. To test the remote freeze sensor, place an ice cube on it before strapping it on the pipe. [. . . ]
