J-300 Series
5.0 General electrical safety Instructions
Your new Jacuzzi® spa is equipped with a “state-of-the-art”
equipment system. It contains the most advanced safety
and self-protective equipment in the industry.
Nonetheless, this spa must be installed properly to insure
dependable usage. Please contact your dealer or local building
department should you have any questions regarding your installation.
Proper grounding is extremely important. Jacuzzi spas are equipped with
a current collector system. A pressure wire connector is provided on the
surface of the control box, located outside the equipment door (Figure
B, page 17) to permit connection of a bonding wire between this point
and any ground metal equipment, metal water pipe or conduit within 5
feet (1.5m) of the spa, or copper clad grounding rod buried within 5 feet
(1.5m) of the spa. Bonding wire must be at least No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm²)
solid copper wire. This is a most important safety assurance feature.
Before installing this spa, check with the local building department to
insure installation conforms to local building codes.
120/240 volt Convertible Models
A spa connected to a 120 VAC electrical service must be located close
enough to a grounded, grounding-type electrical outlet so that the
included 10 feet (3m) power cord can be plugged directly into it. Do noT
use an eXTensIon CorD as this could cause damage to the spa’s
equipment due to insufficient voltage. The power supplied to this spa
must be a dedicated circuit with no other appliances or lights sharing the
power provided by the circuit.
6.0 power requirements
Jacuzzi® spas are designed to provide optimum
performance and flexibility of use when connected to the
maximum electrical service listed below. Minor circuit
board modifications can be performed to allow your new
spa to accept an electrical service other than the factory
operation setting.
note: Refer to pages 42-45 for circuit board configuration details or
contact your authorized Jacuzzi dealer.
