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.
