SELECTING THE VOLTAGE FOR
YOUR SPA
The
TARINO and AVENTINE spas are designed to operate at either
115 volt 20 amp or 230 volt 50 amp while the
PALATINO, MARINO
&
VANTO spa models require a dedicated 230 volt 50 amp power
supply. When the
TARINO or AVENTINE spa is connected to 115
volts 20 amp, the heater will provide approximately 1000 watts of heat
only when the pump is operating in LOW speed and the thermostat is
calling for heat (NOTE: The heater does not operate when the pump
is on high speed). When the
PALATINO, MARINO, VANTO, TARINO
and
AVENTINE spas are connected to 230 volts, the heater will
provide approximately 4000 watts of heat when the pump is operating
in LOW or HIGH speed and the thermostat is calling for heat.
All electrical connections must be made in accordance with the wiring
information contained in the electrical control box or on the back of the
field wiring access panel of the equipment module.
115 VOLT INSTALLATION
Spas provided with a factory-installed power supply cord are to be
plugged into a grounded, grounding type 20 ampere receptacle
(
TARINO & AVENTINE) models. No other electrical appliance or fixture
can be used on this circuit.
IMPORTANT: Under NO circumstances should an extension cord be
used. Use of an extension cord will seriously degrade the performance
of the equipment module and can create an electrical hazard.
230 VOLT INSTALLATION
When using 230 volt power supply, installation of a 30 or 50 amp
dedicated circuit is required. Your spa must be hardwired direct to a
GFCI-protected subpanel by a licensed electrician. A wiring diagram is
provided inside the equipment module showing where the connections
are to be made.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND
PRECAUTIONS
Your
VACANZA series spa has been carefully designed to give you
maximum safety against electrical shock. Connecting the spa to an
improperly wired circuit will negate many of the spa’s safety features.
Improper wiring may also cause electrocution, risk of fire, and other
risks of injuries. Please read and follow the electrical installation
requirements and instructions for your spa completely!
115-230 VOLT CONVERSION
(
TARINO
&
AVENTINE MODELS)
Refer to the following instructions to convert your 115 volt
TARINO or
AVENTINE spa to a 230 volt 30A or 50A spa.
NOTE: Converting the spa to 230 volts operation should only be done
by an authorized service agent or a qualified electrician. A
CALDERA
Spa Technician must reconfigure spa using the soft jumpers to allow
the heater to run at 4K, and the jet pump Not to run concurrent with
heater @ 30A and run concurrent with heater @ 50A.
The conversion requires a subpanel (230 volt) which may be purchased
from your Authorized dealer. Ask for part # 301758.
1. Disconnect the power cord from the house receptacle.
2. Remove the screws and open the equipment compartment door.
3. Remove the screws from the control box.
4. Open the control box cover.
5. Remove the power cord wires, and the power jumper wire (from line
2 and neutral) on the line side of the terminal block.
A licensed electrician must install the subpanel (available from your
dealer) to supply power to the spa. The subpanel must be placed in
sight of the spa at a minimum distance of 5 feet away. All electrical
connections must be made in accordance with the wiring information
contained in this manual and on the back of the field wiring access
panel of the control box.
NOTE: Bond the spa to all exposed metal
equipment or fixtures, handrails, and concrete pad per N.E.C. and all
local codes.
