9. Make Electrical Connections

NOTE:

The product model number is printed on a label on the pump side of the whirlpool bath. This

label also identifies the electrical rating of the product. All whirlpools come equipped with a wiring
junction box and are designed to operate between 220 V and 240 V at either 50 Hz or 60 Hz.

WARNING: Risk of electrical shock.

Make sure the power has been disconnected before

performing the following procedures. Refer to the “Important Information” section.

WARNING: Risk of electrical shock.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect the pump to a

properly grounded Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD). This
will provide additional protection against line-to-ground shock hazard. A 220-240 V, 20 A, 50/60 Hz
dedicated circuit is required.

IMPORTANT!

The load neutral is not used. There should be no connection to the load neutral terminal

on the Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) breaker. The green wire with the yellow stripe is the
equipment ground

and needs to be connected to the neutral bus in the main circuit breaker box.

The whirlpool bath control and system have been pre-wired at the factory. A licensed electrician
should make a routine service connection to the junction box.

Connect service to the junction box. The junction box contains blue, brown, and green with a yellow
stripe colored wires.

Follow local electrical codes. Bond in accordance with national and local codes.

A wiring harness has been pre-wired at the factory, allowing communication between the keypad,
all features, and the control. No additional wiring is required, but ensure that all wires are securely
fastened.

NOTE:

Your wiring harness included an antenna for the optional remote control. Do not alter or damage

this antenna during installation.
