Jacuzzi K272000AF 7/06 manual Electrical Connections, Optional RapidHeatTM Electrical Connection

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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" (10,6 cm) above the floor. The duplex outlet is not provided. Be- cause these units are manufactured with a safe, convenient electronic control whirlpool ON/OFF switch on the bath itself, no remote switch or timer is necessary.

DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Connect only to a circuit protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).

CAUTION: Operating the motor/pump without enough water in the bath can cause leaking and permanent dam- age to the pump. Before power is applied to the installa- tion, make sure the switch is in the OFF position to avoid pump damage.

NOTE: Export units may or may not come with motor/pump or may come with motor specifications different than what is speci- fied here. In every case consult with a licensed contractor and electrician before installing power supply or connecting unit.

Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath makes no claims to the electrical compatibility or suitability of domestic or export units and is not responsible for any defects or failures that could have been discovered, repaired, or avoided by following the appli- cable building and local electrical codes.

On the Capella 55 with integral skirt, Capella 60 with inte- gral skirt, Capella Spacesaver with integral skirt and Tara with integral skirt a duplex junction box has been provided. To access, remove skirt access panel. See top views in ROUGH- IN section 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.

NOTE: Export units may or may not come with pre-installed motor/pump or may come with motor specifications different than what is specified here. In every case consult with a li- cenced contractor and electrician before installing power sup- ply or connecting unit.

Before installing electrical connection, inspect the heater nameplate and determine if you have a 120 VAC or a 240 VAC whirlpool unit (240 VAC unit not available in U.S.A.).

Install a separate 120 VAC 15 AMP or 240 VAC 15 AMP dedicated circuit with GFCI protection. With a #8 solid cop- per 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.
