GENERAL SAFETY!
Hazardous voltage. Incorrectly installed or tested equipment may fail, causing severe injury or prop- erty damage. Read and follow instructions in owner's manual when installing and operating equipment. Installation and maintenance of this circuit, the light, light niche, and any other accessories attached to the circuit, must be performed by a licensed electrician.
The complete electrical system must be installed, tested, and approved by a licensed electrician before it is placed in operation. Failure to have this product installed by a licensed professional will void the product warranty.
Risk of electrical shock. Before removing fixture from pool wall, ALWAYS TURN OFF THE POWER at the breaker.
All 12 Volt lamps require the installation of a 12 Volt transformer.
This light and its light niche must be installed in accor- dance with Article 680 of the National Electrical Code (NEC), in the United States, or Section 68 of the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), as applicable, and all local code requirements.
Install an approved Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter in the electrical circuit for this light.
All devices in the system must be directly grounded to a positive electrical ground. All devices in the system must meet all applicable code requirements for bonding.
Burn hazard. Never operate this light fix- ture for more than 10 seconds unless it is completely submerged in water. This fixture requires total submer- sion for cooling.
Breakage hazard. Install fixture in a vertical pool or spa wall – not in floor. Failure to install the fix- ture properly could result in personal injury and/or prop- erty damage. Do not push off from the poolside against the light.
Except when the fixture is installed in an area of the swimming pool that is not used for swimming and the lens is adequately guarded to keep any person from con- tacting it, the fixture shall be installed in or on a wall of the pool, with the top of the lens opening not less than 18" below the normal level of the pool.
Locate junction box at least 8" above maximum water level and not less than 4 feet from the perimeter of the pool.
The junction box must be located:
•at least 4’ from the perimeter of the pool (unless sepa- rated from the pool by a solid fence, wall or other permanent structure,
•at least 8" above maximum water level,
•at least 4" above the deck or ground level.
Make sure that the installation is in compliance with local codes, the NEC, and the CEC, as applicable. See Figure 1, Page 5.
The improper use of Ozone generators, Chlorine genera- tors, Copper/Silver Ion generators or certain chemicals for water purification may cause damage to the fixture. When such water purification methods are used, be sure to monitor the water conditions. Subjecting the fixture to extreme conditions or harsh environments may cause corrosion and premature failure of the fixture or its components.
Cutting hazard if light is improperly
installed. This light is for use only in commercial and residential swimming pools and spas. It has not been designed, tested, or approved for use in wave pools, lazy rivers, or other waterpark features, and should not be used in them. Use in any application other than a swimming pool or spa may lead to damage to the light and cuts to swimmers and will void the warranty.
