THANKS
We at Kasco Marine, Inc. would like to both thank and
congratulate you on your purchase of the Submersible
LED Light Kit. This kit will illuminate your fountain
for a beautiful display. We thank you for choosing
Kasco for your fountain and aeration needs and want
you to be completely satised with your purchase.
Important Safety
Please read and follow these extremely important
safety and handling instructions for your Kasco equipment. Following these instructions will help ensure
your safety and the quality performance of your equipment.
with drop-offs, drastic slopes, or soft bottom material.
• Do not use a canoe or boat that tips easily during
installation
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, be certain
the light kit is connected to the GFCI protected
lighting circuit of your control panel. For more
information regarding your control panel instructions, refer to your fountain owner’s manual or
download control panel wiring diagrams from
http://kascomarine.com/instructions.html. A control panel must be installed a minimum of 5 feet
(3m in Canada) from the body of water unless
separated from the body of water by a fence, wall,
or other permanent barrier that will make the unit
inaccessible to persons in the water.
• Under NO circumstances should anyone enter
the water with the electrical equipment plugged
in and/or in operation. All Kasco equipment is
designed and built for use in water, and control
panels are available with GFCI protection. However, it is NEVER recommended to enter the water
with the equipment in operation.
• Kasco’s Submersible Light Kits are intended for
use with a Listed control panel having a GFCI
protected receptacle, or eld wiring terminals and
disconnect switch, or a timer with a disconnect for
use with a GFCI receptacle. They are intended
to be mounted on a oating fountain or aerator
for use in a natural or man-made body of water to
comply with NEC Article 682.
• Kasco’s Submersible Light Kits have not been
evaluated for use in swimming pools, spas or stationary fountains.
• The power connection for the light kit is 120Vac
and MUST be plugged into a GFCI protected
receptacle or GFCI protected eld terminal connections.
• Caution should be used when dealing with any
electrical and/or moving equipment.
• NEVER run the unit out of water. It could create a
dangerous situation for the operator.
• Extreme caution should be used around water, especially cold water, as in Spring, Fall, and Winter,
which poses a hazard itself.
• NEVER lift or drag the fountain or light kit by the
power cords. If you need to pull the unit to the
side of the pond, use the anchoring ropes.
• Do not use waders in ponds/lakes that are deep,

9. Upon installation of the assembled unit, connect
your LED light kit to your eld installed GFCI protected outlet and timer.
Note:
Installation of these LED light xtures on the above
listed aerator/fountain units will ensure proper submersion of the light xtures. Each xture must be partially submerged in order for lights to operate properly.
Other applications for these xtures must provide at
least the same submersion to properly cool the xture.
Operating the xtures out of water will damage the
LED and void warranty.
Make sure the orange oring is installed on the plug
side of the waterproof connector. If any are miss-
ing, check the packaging to see if any fell off during
shipping, or an extra oring was included if there is one
missing.
Hand tighten the waterproof connectors as shown in

can also alert you to electrical leaks in the equipment. If
you have repeat, consistent trips of the ground fault device,
the equipment should be disconnected and removed from
the water. The power cord should be inspected for damage and you should contact your distributor, or call Kasco
Marine at 715-262-4488 for further instructions or email
Kasco at sales@kascomarine.com.
OBSERVATION: Operating equipment should be observed
on a regular basis (daily, if possible) for any reduction or
variation in performance. If a change in performance is observed, the equipment should be disconnected from power
and inspected.
2. Arrange the brackets into the position shown and
tighten down the nuts. Once the brackets are secure,
turn the unit back into its upright position.
3. Follow the instruction on the previous page
(LED3125 Assembly instructions) to mount the light
kit to the brackets.
Maintenance Recommendations
• Under No Circumstances should anyone enter the
water while a fountain is operating.
• Please keep the original box for maintenance shipping.
The following maintenance procedures can be utilized to
ensure many years of quality performance from your Kasco
Fountain and Light Kit and reduce the need for more costly
repair work.
PROPER INSTALLATION: Proper installation of Kasco
equipment will include a power source with ground fault
protection. For Fountain models, Kasco provided control
panels included with the unit have built-in ground fault protection. Ground fault interrupters are a safety feature that
WINTER STORAGE: In regions where there is signicant
freezing in the wintertime, the fountain and light kit should
be removed from the water to protect them from the expansion pressure of the ice. In many areas, fountains will keep
some amount of ice open through the winter. However,
when the water is thrust into the air, it is exposed to the
colder air temperatures longer and can actually make ice
thicker on the pond/lake. Storage over winter is best in a
location that is out of the sun and cool, but above 32° F.
CLEANING: Fountains and light kits should be removed
from the water at least once per year (at the end of the
season in cold climates) to clean the exterior of the system, especially the stainless steel motor housing (can) and
light xtures. The motor housing and light xture surfaces
dissipate heat into the water and any algae, calcium, etc.
build-up will become an insulator that blocks heat transfer. In warmer regions it is recommended that the motor
is removed and cleaned at least two to three times per year
depending on conditions. In most cases a power washer
will be sufcient if the unit and algae are still wet. Also
make sure the lens of the light xtures is clean to ensure the
brightest light possible.
FIXTURE REPLACEMENT: The LED light xtures
are sealed and do not require any maintenance other than
cleaning. If a xture fails to operate it can be removed and
the sealing cap installed onto the waterproof connector of
the power cord. This will allow you to continue to operate
your light kit with two xtures while a replacement xture
is procured. Only perform this removal/replacement with
all equipment disconnected from the power source.
Any required repairs need to be performed by Kasco Marine. Any alterations or changes made to Kasco units by an
unauthorized source will void the warranty. This includes
tampering with the unit, power cord, and/or control box.

Ensure control panel is connected to the electrical circuit. Verify circuit breakers, timers, and/or
interlock switches are turned on and functional. Refer to your owners manual that was provided with
the fountian.
C-25 control panel:
The control panel has a photo eye on the left side of the enclosure exterior. This photo eye measures
ambient light. To activate, the photo eye must not measure any ambient light for at least several
minutes. Also, the C-25 timer must be turned on (fountain operating) to allow the light circuit to
energize. Covering the photo eye with black electrical tape will activate the photo eye for testing.
C-85, or C-95 control panel with GFCI outlet and photo eye control:
The control panel has a photo eye on the left side of the enclosure exterior. This photo eye measures
ambient light. To activate, the photo eye must not measure any ambient light for at least several
minutes. Also, the fountain timer must be turned on (fountain operating) to allow the light circuit to
energize. Covering the photo eye with black electrical tape will activate the photo eye for testing.
While the photo eye is covered, the GFCI outlet can be reset if tripped.
C-85, or C-95 control panel (and all 3phase fountain control panels) with terminal connections
and timer control for light kit:
The control panel has a second timer for controlling the lights (No photo eye). Ensure the light timer
is set to operate the lights. The timer has a built in Hand-Off-Auto swith. Ensure the switch is set
properly.
Ensure the fountain is turned on. The light timer will not energize the light kit unless the fountain

Reset the GFCI. If the GFCI does not reset it could be a ground fault in the fountain wiring, or the light
kit wiring. Unplug both the fountain and light kit and reset the GFCI. If it resets, plug fountain then
light kit back in and see which one trips the GFCI. If the GFCI does not reset with both unplugged,
then the GFCI may be defective.
C-85, or C-95 control panel with GFCI outlet and photo eye control:
To reset the GFCI outlet the fountain timer must be turned on, and the photo eye must be activated.
(black electrical tape can be wrapped around the photo eye to activate it). Once these are on, the
GFCI reset button can be pressed. (unplug the light kit prior). Plug the light kit in and see if it
operates. If the GFCI trips again then the light kit may be damaged. If the GFCI does not reset (with
light kit unplugged) then it may be defective or the photo eye is not activated to send power to the

C-85, or C-95 control panel with terminal connections and timer control for light kit:
For panels with a GFCB (ground fault circuit breaker) and timer controlled lights, simply reset the two
pole breaker. This will turn the fountain and light kit back on if the timers are set to on! If it trips again,
disconnect the light kit from the terminals and reset. WARNING! you must turn off power to the panel
before disconnecting any wiring from the terminals! If the breaker trips with the light kit
disconnected, then disconnect the fountain as well and reset. If the breaker continues to trip it may
be a defective GFCB. If the breaker resets, then reconnect the fountain then the light kit to see which
one trips the GFCB.
3phase fountain control panels:
3phase fountain panels have a ground fault sensing module that will trip if either the light kit or
fountain has a ground fault. To reset the module, simply press the reset button in the panel. This will
turn the fountain and light kit back on if the timers are set to on! If it trips again, disconnect the light
kit from the terminals and reset. WARNING! you must turn off power to the panel before
disconnecting any wiring from the terminals! If the GFI module trips with the light kit disconnected,
then disconnect the fountain as well and reset. If the GFI module continues to trip it may be a
defective module or an internal wiring issue with the panel. If the module resets, then reconnect the
fountain then the light kit to see which one trips the module.
Turn of power to the control panel and disconnect power cords to the fountain and the light kit.
Bring the fountain to the shore and inspect the light lenses. Over time, algae growth and hard water
deposits on the lenses can block light output. Clean the lenses with a soft brush and the light should
be bright again.
