GFCI Test
(North America Only. Feature not available on CE
rated systems.)
YoursystemsmayhaveGFCIconguredinoneof
three ways:
1. GFCI test is not enabled
2. Manual GFCI test is enabled but automatic GFCI
test is not enabled
3. Both manual and automatic GFCI tests are enabled.
The automatic test will happen within 7 days of the spa
being installed and if successful will not repeat. (If the
automatic test fails it will repeat after the spa
is restarted.)
The GFCI Test button (C) will appear on the
Diagnostics screen only if the GFCI is enabled.
TheGFCITestscreen(viewnextpage)allowstheGFCI
to be tested manually from the panel and can be used
to reset the automatic 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).
Used for verifying a proper installation
Your spa may be equipped with a GFCI Test 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.
On systems that do not have the automatic GFCI test,
the manual GFCI test must be done.
Forcing a manual GFCI Trip Test
The installer can cause the GFCI Trip Test to occur at
any time 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 operate normally from that point. You can
verify a successful test by navigating to the above
screen. “Passed” should appear on the GFCI screen.
Warning:
On those systems that automatically test the GFCI
within 1 to 7 days after startup:
Theend-usermustbetrainedtoexpectthisone-time
test to occur. The end-user must be trained how to
properlyresettheGFCI.Iffreezingconditionsexist,
the GFCI or RCD should be reset immediately or spa
damage could result.
