Electrical Connections - Jacuzzi BUILDER Serie Manual De Instalación Y Operación

Electrical Connections

A separate circuit, which must be protected by a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), is required. Install a duplex outlet to the
studwall underneath the bathtub, at least 4 inches above the floor.
The duplex outlet is not provided. Because these units are manufac-
tured with a safe, convenient Magic Touch whirlpool ON/OFF switch
on the bath itself, no remote switch or timer is necessary. If an op-
tional timer is desired, one is available from Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath
for 115 VAC operation.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Connect only to a circuit
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.
CAUTION: Operating the motor/pump without enough water in
the bath can cause leaking and permanent damage to the pump.
Before power is applied to the installation, make sure the switch
is in the OFF position to avoid pump damage.
On the Capella 55 with integral skirt, Capella 60 with integral skirt,
Capella Spacesaver with integral skirt and Tara with integral skirt a
duplex junction box has been provided. To access, remove skirt ac-
cess panel. See top views for location.
A separate GFCI protected outlet* (not provided) is required for
pump/motor and is to be installed in the junction box. The junction
box is to be hard wired. The motor is bonded to the junction box at
the factory.

Electrical Connection RapidHeat
Before installing electrical connection, inspect the heater name-
plate and determine if you have a 120 VAC or a 240 VAC unit (240
VAC unit not available in U.S.A.).
Install a separate 120 VAC 15 AMP or 240 VAC 15 AMP dedi-
cated circuit with GFCI protection. With a #8 solid copper wire, bond
the heater to the house electrical panel or approved local bond. A
bonding lug is provided on the heater.
At initial start-up and before each use thereafter with power ON,
push the GFCI test button. The reset button should pop out. Push
this button in to reset. If the interrupter fails to operate in this manner,
there is a ground current flowing or a device malfunction, indicating
the possibility of electrical shock. Turn off power and do not use
the bath until the source of the problem has been identified and
corrected.
