UTILITIES - GFCI TEST FEATURE
The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) or Residual Current Detector
(RCD) is an important safety device
and is required equipment on a
hot tub installation.
(The GFCI Test Feature is not
available on CE rated systems.)
VERIFYING A PROPER INSTALLATION
Your spa may be equipped with a GFCI Protection feature. If your spa
has this feature enabled by the manufacturer, the GFCI Trip Test must
occur to allow proper spa function.
On some systems:
Within 1 to 7 days after startup, the spa will trip the GFCI to test it. (The
number of days is factory programmed.) The GFCI must be reset once it
has tripped. After passing the GFCI Trip Test, any subsequent GFCI trips
will indicate a ground fault or other unsafe condition and the power to the
spa must be shut off until a service person can correct the problem.
FORCING THE GFCI TRIP TEST (NORTH AMERICA ONLY)
Touching the GFCI Test Icon on the Utilities Screen takes you to the
GFCI Test screen.
The installer can cause the GFCI Trip Test to occur sooner by pressing
Test on the GFCI Test screen.
The GFCI should trip within several seconds and the spa should shut
down. If it does not, shut down the power and manually verify that a GFCI
breaker is installed and that the circuit and spa are wired correctly. Verify
the function of the GFCI with its own test button. Restore power to the spa
and repeat the GFCI Trip Test.
Once the GFCI is tripped by the test, reset the GFCI and the spa will oper-
ate normally from that point. You can verify a successful test by navigat-
ing to the above screen. “Passed” should appear after the Reset line is
selected on the GFCI screen.
