ARIA™(AR) WIRING CONNECTIONS
1. Identify the TB-1 terminal block, located inside the control box at the lower left-hand corner.
2. Connect the #12 AWG, BLUE wire, from the subpanel 20 amp breaker, terminal L1 to TB-1, terminal 1
3. Connect the #12 AWG, RED wire, from the subpanel 20 amp breaker, terminal L2 to TB-1, terminal 3
NOTE: The WHITE neutral wire must be attached to the LOAD neutral on the 230 volt, 30 amp breaker (not to the neutral bus bar in the subpanel). The WHITE neutral wire
coming from the breaker itself is already connected to the neutral bus bar.
4. Connect the #10 AWG, BLUE wire, from the subpanel 30 amp breaker, terminal L1 to TB-1, terminal 2
5. Connect the #10 AWG, RED wire, from the subpanel 30 amp breaker, terminal L2 to TB-1, terminal 4
6. Connect the #10 AWG, WHITE wire, from the subpanel 30 amp breaker, terminal N (load neutral) to TB-1, terminal 5
7. Connect the #10 AWG, GREEN wire, from the subpanel GROUND bar to TB-1, system ground terminal.
8. Using the pressure wire connector provided on the outside of the control box, bond the spa to all exposed metal equipment or fixtures,
handrails, and the concrete pad (if applicable) per N.E.C. and local codes.
9. Replace the control box cover and securely tighten the fastening screws. Close and secure the equipment compartment door as follows:
• Place top of door or panel directly below bartop against the frame of the spa.
• Push bottom of door or panel against the spa frame.
• Slide door or panel upward (pushing in on center of door) until screw holes line up.
• Slightly pull on door or panel, if door remains against the spa then replace the screws.
• If the door does not lock into position, repeat the previous steps.
WARNING: FILL THE SPA WITH WATER BEFORE TURNING ON THE POWER! (See STARTUP AND REFILL PROCEDURES).
Once your spa has been filled with water, turn it on and test all of the circuit breakers.
NOTE: If both breakers immediately trip, verify that the #10 AWG WHITE neutral wire is connected from TB-1 terminal 5 to the N (load neutral) terminal of the 30 amp
subpanel breaker. Each breaker should be tested prior to each use. Here’s how:
1. Push the “TEST” button on each GFCI breaker, and observe it click OFF.
2. Wait 30 seconds, then push the breaker switch to the OFF (down) position (to ensure that it has completely disengaged), then push the
breaker switch to the ON (up) position. If you don't wait 30 seconds, the spa’s control panel may flash four lines on and off – try again.
If any of the GFCI breakers fails to operate in this manner, your spa may have an electrical malfunction, and you may be at risk of electrical shock. Turn off all circuits and do
not use the spa until the problem has been corrected by an authorized service agent.
WARNING: Removing or bypassing any GFCI breaker will result in an unsafe spa and will void the spa’s warranty.
IMPORTANT: Should you ever find the need to move or relocate your Hot Spring
®
spa, it is essential that you understand and apply these installation requirements. Your Hot
Spring spa has been carefully engineered to provide maximum safety against electric shock. Remember, connecting the spa to an improperly wired circuit will negate many of
its safety features.
NOTE: Long wiring runs may require larger-gauge wire than stated.
WILL VARY BETWEEN MANUFACTURERS. CONNECTING THE HOT WIRE TO THE
NEUTRAL TERMINAL WILL CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL BOX.
** Refer to NEC 250-122 (table)
NOTE: The wire connections to GFCI breakers are for reference only. Always ensure the white neutral wire is connected to the load neutral of the 30 amp breaker.
*PROVIDED WITH SPA. NOTE: ALL WIRING SHOULD BE COPPER.
