1. Verify that the pool meets the requirements of the current National Electrical Code and all local codes and ordinances. A licensed or certified electrician must install the electrical system to meet or exceed those requirements before the underwater light is installed. Some of the requirements of the National Electrical Code which the pool’s electrical system must meet are listed below:

a. The lighting circuit must have a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), and an appropriately rated circuit breaker. b. The Junction Box (or, for 12 volt models, the low voltage transformer) must be located at least 8 inches above water

level, 4 inches above ground level, and at least 48 inches from the edge of the pool; see Figure 1. c. The light fixture and all metal items within 5 feet of the pool must be properly electrically bonded. d. The wet niche must be properly installed so the pilot screw hole is at the 12 o’clock position and that the top edge

of the underwater light’s lens is at least 18 inches below the surface of the water in the pool; see Figure 1.

Figure 1.

B. Steps to perform after the electrical system requirements are met.

Rev. C • Rev. C • Rév. C 10-29-07 3 P/N • Núm/Pte. • Réf. 619691

NOTE

The required orientation of all Pentair lights is with the pilot screw at the 12 o’clock position. This is guaranteed by proper niche installation.

e. The wet niche must be properly electrically bonded and grounded via the No. 8 AWG ground connector located

at the rear of the niche; see Figure 1.

NOTE

The pool or spa electrical system can be verified with a Pool and Spa Electrical Qualification Test Kit. The test kit is available from Pentair Water Pool and Spa, Inc. The electrical system inspection using this kit must be performed by trained and certified personnel.

2. To be certain that the pool’s electrical system meets all applicable requirements, the electrician should also consult the local building department.

3. Use only Pentair Water Pool and Spa wet niches to insure proper bonding and grounding connections.

1. Feed cord through conduit to Junction Box, leaving at least 4 feet of cord at the light fixture to coil around the light; see Figure 1. This 4 feet of cord around the light allows the light to be serviced after the pool is filled with water.

2. Cut the cord at the Junction Box, leaving at least 6 inches of cord to make connections.

3. Strip 6 inches of the outer cord jacket to expose the three insulated wires. Be careful not to damage the insulation on the three inner wires.

4. Connect all three wires to the corresponding circuit wires in the Junction Box (black wire to power, white wire to common, and green wire to ground) and secure the Junction Box cover in place.

Never operate this underwater light for more than 10 seconds unless it is totally submerged in water. Without total submersion, the light assembly will get extremely hot, which may result in serious burns or in breakage of the lamp or lens. This may result in serious injury to pool users, installers, or bystanders, or in damage to property.

5. Replace the light assembly into niche and tighten special pilot screw.

WARNING

Use only the special pilot screw provided with this underwater light. This screw mounts and electrically grounds the housing securely to the mounting ring and wet niche. Failure to use the screw provided could create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers or others due to electrical shock.
