VOLTAGE VERIFICATION - MOST G.F.C.I. PROBLEMS ARE DUE TO LOW VOLTAGE

IMPORTANT:
IF THE VOLTAGE IS NOT WITHIN THE ACCEPTABLE RANGE, CALL AN ELECTRICIAN
OR THE LOCAL ELECTRIC COMPANY TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

CHECK THE VOLTAGES AT:
1. Breaker Box Voltage Check
2. G.F.C.I. Line-In Voltage Check.
3. G.F.C.I. Load Out Voltage Check
4. System Box Check At Tb1

CHECK UNDER PEAK LOADS -- TWO TYPES OF PEAK LOADS

1. Spa System Peak Loads - Pumps, Heater, Blower & Light On
2. Household Peak Loads - May Be In Afternoon On Hot Day

Use Recording Meter If Possible - Records Max & Min Volts

Communication Between Topside & System Board In Most Systems

Press Button - Message Sent To System Board

System Board Performs - Message Sent Back To Topside & Relay Opens or Closes

LED or Icon Is Turned On or Off - Hear Or See Relay Open Or Close

In Most Cases, If This Happens, There Is No Problem With The Topside Panel or System Board

Voltage Checks: Breaker Box, G.F.C.I. & System Box

When checking for proper voltage, keep in mind that the acceptable voltage range is

+/- 10% of the recommended voltage.

Acceptable voltage when 120 V is specified is between 108 and 132 V.

Acceptable voltage when 240 V is specified is between 216 and 264 V.

Diagrams are on the following pages.

120 Volt Systems - 120V ± 10% - 108V - 132V

240 Volt Systems - 240V ± 10% - 216V - 264V
No More Than 2% (5 Volt AC) Difference Between Voltage
at the Breaker Panel And Voltage at the System.
