End User Warning

This Installation Manual is provided solely to aid qualified spa
service technicians in installing spas with control systems manu-
factured by Balboa Water Group. Balboa controls have absolutely
no end user serviceable parts. Balboa Water Group does not
authorize attempts by the spa owner/user to repair or service
any Balboa products. Non-qualified users should never open or
remove covers, as this will expose dangerous voltage points and
other dangerous risks. Please contact your dealer or authorized
repair center for service.

GFCI

It is required by code to install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) in the supply power for a spa. This device will trip the
breaker if there is an unsafe electrical condition caused by a
malfunctioning component or even the slightest short to ground.

Note: Connect the control system only to a circuit protected by a
Class A GFCI mounted at least 5’ (1.52M) from the inside walls of
the spa/hot tub and in line of sight from the equipment compart-
ment.
Refer to NEC (National Electrical Code), 2005 Edition, Article
680
for more information.
