important: All of the alternative electrical configurations require
a qualified technician to perform minor circuit board modifications. To avoid
damage to the spa, do not activate power to the spa until these modifications
have been made. We recommend Square-D or Cutler Hammer circuit
breakers.
Power Configurations for 880 Altamar, Cameo, Majesta, Marin, and
Optima Models (North America, 60Hz)
This section describes the power configuration choices (Standard 50 Amp, Alternate 40
Amp, or Alternate 60 Amp) for Altamar, Cameo, Majesta, Marin, and Optima hot tub models.
Config. #
1
Standard 50A Configuration
(factory setting)
240 VAC/50A 3-wire configuration •
(2 hots and ground)
50A dual-pole GFCI breaker
•
(hard wired only)
Maximum electrical current draw
•
of 40A
In this Standard 50A configuration, the heater
does not operate while both jets pumps are
running.
Config.
#2
Alternate 40A Configuration
(For homes where 240 VAC/50A or
240 VAC/60A power is unavailable).
240 VAC/40A 3-wire configuration •

40A dual-pole GFCI breaker
•
(hard wired only)
Maximum electrical current draw

If your home electrical service does not have
240V/50A power available, the spa may be
connected to a 240V/40A power source after a
qualified electrician makes a minor circuit board
modification.
In this configuration, the heater yields the
same rapid temperature rise as in the 50A
configuration, but does not operate while either
jets pump are running or when the blower is
running.

In the Alternate 60A configuration, the heater
operates while both jets pumps and the blower
are running.
Note
Wire size must meet NEC recommendations and is determined by
maximum current draw and length or run.
