INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
ELECTRICAL
Electrical Power Supply: These instructions are written as-
suming 60Hz, 120v power supply. Special notations are also
included for export versions of the equipment and power supply.
WARNING: Verification of electrical requirements MUST
be made before installation. Refer to the equipment labels
for voltage and frequency requirements.
NOTE: The bath is designed for indoor use only. The
electrical equipment must not be exposed to direct or indirect
water or moisture contact. The electrical equipment must
also be protected from dust and other airborne debris before,
during, and after installation.
1. Electrical Service: A licensed electrician must provide
the “dedicated” electrical service protected by a GFCI. The
location of the GFCI must be at least five (5) feet (152cm)
away from the inside surface of the bath, accessible for
regular testing. Use copper conductors only.
DANGER — RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Connect only
to a circuit protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI). In the unlikely occurrence of a current imbalance
in the power conductors, the GFCI will interrupt the power
to the bath.
WARNING: The electrical service to the GFCI must not
be interrupted by any control device. Likewise, the electri-
cal service from the GFCI to the bath control should be
direct and not interrupted by a switch. Never use a switch
in conjunction with a control device. This will VOID THE
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.
2. GROUNDING IS REQUIRED
The unit should be installed by a qualified service
representative and properly grounded.
