ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND
INSTALLATION
The following information is provided for hooking up electrical supply to
your new pool. A qualied, licensed, electrician must perform this work.
Failure to follow these instructions will terminate all warranty coverage
and can cause serious injury or death.
Your 60 Hz pool is preset at the factory to run on 240 V with a 48Ainput.
This feature gives you the most performance out of your pool. This will
require a 240 V, 60-amp GFCI
Your export 50 Hz pool is preset out of factory to run 230 V-240 V 3
wires 30 A max input. This product must always be connected to resid-
ual current device (RCD) having a trip current of not more than 30 mA.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
WARNING: Your pool must be wired by a certied electrician and
according to these instructions. Failure to do so will terminate all
warranties and all listings from the independent listing facility.
1) The TidalFit requires a 240 VAC dedicated system. The pool must be
hard wired to the power supply, with no plug-in connections, extension
cords, or sharing of service.
2) The pool requires that you run 6 (10 mm²) or 8 (8.4 mm²) AWG cop-
per wire, depending on the GFCI size. Do Not Use Aluminum Wire.
3) The power supply must have a suitable Ground Fault Circuit Inter-
rupter (GFCI), according to Section 422-20 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-7987 or other national installation requirement
with a residual current device (RCD) having a trip current of not more
than 30 mA. This could be used as the shut-off switch, which must be
installed in plain view of the pool. This electrical service must be readily
accessible to the pool occupants, but must not be within 5 feet of the
pool.
4) Use only non-metallic conduit and ttings when installing power to
the spa.
5)After your pool has been positioned, route lines through the knockout
on the left or right front corner of the pool.
6) Connect the power to the pool.
GFCI PROTECTION
NOTE: The GFCI section does not apply on EL systems used
outside the United States. This GFCI section does not apply to GL
Systems.
Your pool may be equipped with a GFCI Protection feature. If your pool
does not have this feature enabled, the GFCI Trip Test must occur to al-
low proper pool function.
Within 1 to 7 days after startup, the pool will trip the GFCI to test it. (The
number of days is factory programmed.) The GFCI must be reset once
it has been tripped. After passing the GFCI Trip Test, subsequent GFCI
trips will indicate a ground default or other unsafe condition requiring the
power to the pool to be shut off.
Warning: The owner should test and reset the GFCI on a regular basis
to verify it’s function
Once the GFCI is tripped by the test, reset the GFCI and the pool will
operate normally from that point. You can verify a successful test by
navigating to the “9FC” item as described above, pressing
“Jets 1” and then pressing the “Warm” button until you
see “9SP”. The code signies GFCI Status - Passed.
The system will exit this menu in 30 seconds if no buttons are pressed.
GFCI TRIP TEST PROCEDURE
The installer can cause the GFCI Trip Test to occur sooner by initiating
it with the following button sequence.
Press “Warm”, then “Jets 1”, then “Light.”
(Each press must be within 3 seconds of the previous press.) Press
the “Warm” button repeatedly until “9FC” is displayed.
Press “Jets 1” to select it. Press the “Warm” button until
“9t.n” is displayed.
Press “Jets 1” to initiate the GFCI Trip Test.
The GFCI should trip within several seconds and the pool 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 pool are wired cor-
rectly. Verify the function of the GFCI with it’s own test button. Restore
power to the pool and repeat the GFCI Trip Test.
