The Jandy® Laminar Jet Pulse Controller (LPC4)
enhances the fi ber optic light option used with the
Laminar Jets. The LPC4 pulses the fi ber optic light
providing a burst of color that travels throughout
the stream of the jet. Because of the unique
microprocessor based electronics, multiple settings
can be achieved from timed bursts of light to random
operation and fi nally to patterns that truly create the
ultimate in backyard water and light fantasy.
The LPC4 can control up to four solenoid valves that
are used to pulse light for up to four Jandy Laminar
Flow Jets (p/n JLJ1001). In other words, one (1)
solenoid valve per Laminar Flow Jet. The LPC4 kit
includes one (1) control panel and two (2) solenoid
valves. The LPC4 can be operated by the Jandy
AquaLink® RS control systems (with Revision L or
newer software) or by the optional LPC4 Remote.
Section 3. Solenoid Installation
1. To install the solenoid, turn the Jandy Laminar
Flow Jet upside down and locate the three (3)
holes molded into the bottom (see Figure 2). The
hole in the center is 3/8” in diameter.

The LPC4 includes the following parts that can be
installed in up to two Laminar Jets:
• two (2) 24 VAC Solenoid Valves
(model number LPC4-S) with 50 ft cable
(see Figure 1)
• four (4) #10 x 5/8” stainless steel screws
• two (2) adhesive backed 3/8” rubber pads

2. Take the 3/8” rubber pad out of the solenoid
actuator kit and remove the adhesive strip off
the back of the rubber pad. Then press the pad
into the center 3/8” hole. The adhesive on the
back of the pad will secure the pad in the hole.
3. Carefully remove and discard the red plastic
protective plug over the solenoid actuator.
Ensure O-ring is on this end (see Figure 3).
CAUTION
Be sure not to lose the metal striker and spring
assembly.
NOTE The metal striker, spring, and o-ring must be
installed for unit to operate.

and align the two (2) screw holes. Secure in place
with two #10 x 5/8” stainless steel screws (see
Figure 4).

Figure 4. Laminar Jet Assembly - Solenoid Mounted
NOTE The control panel should be mounted vertically
on a fl at surface. Locate the control panel at least
one (1) foot (305mm) above the ground and at
least 5 feet away from a pool, spa or fountain.
Ensure that the fi ber optic and LPC4 control wiring
is hardwired to the fi ber optic light source, unless
using an AquaLink RS control system. If using in
an AquaLink RS control system, ensure the fi ber
optic and LPC4 control wiring is connected to the
load side of an AUX relay in the Power Center.
1. Open the cover to the box of the control panel
and remove the two (2) screws holding the
control panel.
2. Remove the green 10-pin terminal bar located
on the printed circuit board (PCB), on back of
the control panel. Set control panel aside.
NOTE This control panel requires listed (for example,
UL, CSA) and properly rated ½” watertight conduit
fittings for all wiring conduits. These conduit
fi ttings are not provided with the product.
3. Locate the knockouts on the bottom of the control
panel. Using a screwdriver, tap out the knockout
on the control panel at desired conduit locations.
Remove any burrs of plastic in opening.
NOTE On the Laminar Jet Deck Box, ensure that conduit
for the fi ber optic/electrical cables is plumbed to
the port marked Electrical.
5. Route the wiring cable from the solenoid
assembly through the Laminar Jet Deck Box
port marked Electrical and through the conduit
to the LPC4 control panel.
Section 4. Control Panel Installation
WARNING
Risk of Electric Shock which can result In
Serious Injury or Death. Before attempting
installation or service, ensure that all power
to the circuit supplying power to the system is
disconnected or turned off at the circuit breaker .
Connect only to a circuit protected by a ground
fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI).
All wiring must be done in accordance with
the National Electric Code (NEC), NFPA-70.
All applicable local installation codes and
regulations must be followed.
NOTE Connect the conduit hub to the conduit before
connecting the hub to the control panel. This
will eliminate any stress placed upon the plastic
controller enclosure from the incoming conduit
and hubs.
4. Install the fi tting securely into control panel
conduit opening, making sure that the fi tting is
seated fl at against the control panel. This will
ensure a watertight seal.
5. Locate the three (3) mounting holes available on
the control panel. Mount the control panel to a
vertical surface.
6. On the lower right-hand side of the control
panel, locate the green ground wire. Connect
the ground wire securely to incoming ground
on the transformer using the provided wire nut.
Refer to the wiring diagram in Figure 5.
7. Connect the input power source, either 1 10VAC
or 220VAC, using the wiring diagram in Figure
5 as a reference.

Installation
Ensure the solenoid valve is installed in the Laminar
Flow Jet prior to starting the following procedure.
1. Route the solenoid cable in the same conduit as
the fi ber optic.
NOTE A jumper is included in the LPC4 Remote Control
Panel (LPC4-R) that allows the control panel
to provide power to the LPC4 Remote. Install
this jumper on the 2-pin header on the control
panel PCB only when connecting the LPC4
control panel to the LPC4 Remote or connecting
multiple control panels to the remote panel (see
Figure 6).
CAUTION
When connecting multiple control panels to the
LPC4 Remote, install the jumper on the header
of only one control panel.
Do not install this jumper if connecting the LPC4
control panel to a Jandy AquaLink RS system.

connection location for each solenoid wire.
NOTE Use 1/8” screwdriver to tighten terminal screws
fi rmly. Route the solenoid wires on left side of
control panel.
3. If using the LPC4 Remote or a Jandy AquaLink
RS control panel, connect the 4-conductor wire
to the red terminal bar in the control panel. Refer
to Figure 5 for the connection location for each
wire. Tighten the terminal screws fi rmly.

Figure 7. LPC4 Control Panel Knob
The LPC4 control panel knob has nine (9) operable
settings (see Figure 7). The operating positions are
as follows:
• OFF - Turns off all pulse control to all Laminar
Jets.
• Timed - Provides a synchronous pulse to all
Laminar Jets in any one of the following three
(3) timed settings.
Slow - Pulse occurs every eight (8) seconds
Medium - Pulse occurs every four (4) seconds
Fast - Pulse occurs every one (1) second
Section 7. LPC4 Remote Installation
The LPC4 Remote allows you to operate the control
panel from alternate locations.
1. Remove the four (4) screws located under the
spring-loaded cover on the remote panel.
Remove the cover and set aside.
NOTE The remote panel PCB is located on the back of
the cover.
2. Locate the four (4) mounting holes available on
the remote panel. Mount the remote panel to a
vertical surface.
3. Install a conduit fi tting securely into the remote
panel knockout, making sure that the fi tting is
seated fl at against the remote panel. This will
ensure a watertight seal.
4. Run a 4-conductor 22-gauge, color-coded cable
in a conduit from the LPC4 control panel to the
location for the LPC4-R remote panel.
5. On the remote panel PCB, locate the red, 4-pin
terminal bar. Connect the 4-conductor wire
to the terminal bar on the remote panel (see
Figure 5, page 7). Tighten the terminal screws
fi rmly.
6. Install the remote panel cover using the four (4)
screws removed in Step 1.
• Random - Provides pulse to Laminar Jets at
random time intervals.
Group - All Laminar Jets pulse at random
Single - Each Laminar Jet pulses at random
• Pattern - Provides a pulse sequence to all Laminar
Jets in any one of the following two (2) timed
settings.
Slow - Sequence is time delayed at slow
speed
Fast - Sequence is time delayed at rapid
speed
Remote - Transfers control of all functions to the
•
optional Remote Panel or Jandy AquaLink RS
control panel.
Section 8. Remote Panel Operation
To transfer control to the remote panel or the Jandy
AquaLink RS, turn the LPC4 control panel knob to
the Remote operating position (see Figure 7). The
remote panel can then control the pulse functions of
the Laminar Jets.
Section 9. System Wiring Diagrams
The LPC4 system can be confi gured for various
system set ups, including the following:
• Single controller
• Single controller with LPC4-R Remote Panel
• Multiple controllers and one LPC4-R Remote
Panel
• Single controller operated by the Jandy AquaLink
RS
Page 9
• Multiple controllers operated by the Jandy
