IMPORTANT
: Fill the spa with water before turning on the power.
Your CALDERA 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 specific spa model completely!
All CALDERA spa models, are equipped with a power indicator
(CALDERA Logo orange light) which, in addition to showing the spa
has power to it, has a diagnostic function as well. It will begin blinking
if the heater high-limit thermostat has tripped. If the power indicator
light is blinking, follow the instructions in the Troubleshooting section
to identify and correct the cause. The power indicator will stop blinking
once the problem has been corrected. The Power and Ready indicator
lights on the control panel also provide the same diagnostic function.
220 - 240 VOLT PERMANENTLY
CONNECTED
CALDERA spas must be wired in accordance with all applicable
National and Local Electrical Codes. All electrical work should be done
by an experienced, licensed electrician. We recommend the use of
appropriate electrical conduit, fittings, and wire for all circuits.
All UTOPIA spas require a dual electrical service using a 16 & 25
amp breaker and wired per the illustration found on the next page.
Additionally, one main disconnect switch with at least 3 mm separation
between contacts must be used for all electrical circuits to the spa.
NOTE: The CANTABRIA will require an additional 16 amp breaker in
order to operate the heater and the Lounge seat (jet pump 3) at the
same time. Without the additional 16 amp breaker, the heater will NOT
operate while the jets in the lounge (jet pump 3) are on.
• Mount the subpanel according to local codes, but not closer than
1.5 meters (5 feet) away. Your spa must be supplied by a ground
fault circuit interrupter - residual current device (RCD) - with a
tripping rating not exceeding 30 mA in an electrical subpanel.
• Open spa using Door Panel Removal instructions.
• Insert power wires into spa from either side towards the bottom front,
you will find a plastic cap attached to spa.
• Once your spa has been filled with water, turn it on and test all of
the circuit breakers.
IMPORTANT: If both breakers immediately trip, verify that the wires are
correctly connected. 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 power indicator may continue to blink – 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.
