Testing the GFCI Breaker
Test the GFCI breaker prior to first use and periodically
when the spa is powered. To test the GFCI breaker
follow these instructions (spa should be operating):
Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will trip
and the spa will shut off.
Reset the GFCI breaker by switching the breaker to the
full OFF position, wait a moment, then turn the breaker
back on. The spa should have power again.
Configuring the 6300 Control System
The 6300 control system requires higher power than
other 240V systems. Dip switch #10 is factory set in the
ON position. This causes the heater to shut off when
any pump is running in high speed. To allow the heater
to continue operating, dip switch #10 must be set to the
OFF position.
To ensure your spa functions properly, ensure the
following steps are performed before starting your spa:
When installing the electrical system, use a 60 amp
GFCI. Follow the GFCI wiring diagram on the next
page.
Have your dealer or installer set dip switch #10 to the
OFF position on the circuit board as shown below.
