Salt is an inherently corrosive material. While the levels of salt required

for proper operation of an electronic chlorine generator are relatively
low when compared to sea water and other salt solutions, placing any amount of salt in
your pool increases the likelihood of corrosion or other deterioration of pool equipment
and any surfaces used in and around your pool. Metal parts and certain natural and man­made surfaces are particularly susceptible to corrosion and deterioration when used in
and around salt water pools. Pentair Water Pool and Spa does not represent or
otherwise guarantee that the proper use of an electronic chlorine generator will prevent
corrosion or other deterioration of pool equipment and any surfaces used in and around
your pool. Consult your experienced pool professional, who should be able to advise
you on the proper material selection, installation techniques for those materials, and the
proper use, care and maintenance of those materials for your specific pool type and
location in order to minimize the corrosion and deterioration that is inherent in and
around salt water pools.

Operating IntelliBrite Pool LED Lights
Using a Wall Switch

IntelliBrite 5g pool LED lights can be controlled using a standard wall-mount light
switch. Multiple IntelliBrite LED lights can be connected via a junction box to a
single switch so that all lights can be switched on and off together. IntelliBrite 5g
lights are controlled by cycling AC power from a standard wall switch. By turning
the switch on and off a specific number of times, the light activates one of the
seven light show modes, fixed colors, and enables the “Hold” and “Recall” feature.

Selecting a light show mode or fixed color

Switch power on to the light. A white light will momentarily illuminate, followed by
the previously selected color. To select a color show mode (1-7) or fixed color
(8-12), turn the wall switch off/on a specific number of times. Each number (1-12)
shown below corresponds to the number of times to power-cycle the switch to
activate a color light show or fixed color. For details about saving color effects
while in “show” modes, see “Hold” and “Recall” feature
on page 4.

1. SAm Mode: Cycles through white, magenta, blue and green colors
(emulates the Pentair SAm® light).

2. Party Mode: Rapid color changing building energy and excitement.

3. Romance Mode: Slow color transitions creating a mesmerizing and

calming effect.

4. Caribbean Mode: Transitions between a variety of blues and
greens.

5. American Mode: Patriotic red, white and blue transition.

6. California Sunset Mode: Dramatic transitions of orange, red and

magenta tones.

7. Royal Mode: Richer, deeper color tones.

8. Blue: Fixed color.

9. Green: Fixed color.

10. Red: Fixed color.

11. White: Fixed color.

12. Magenta: Fixed color.

13. Hold: Save the current color effect during a color light show.

14. Recall: Activate the last saved color effect.

accidents. Failure to observe this warning may result in serious
injury or death to pool and spa users.

IntelliBrite® Controller (optional)

Instead of using a wall switch, the
IntelliBrite 5g pool LED light can be used
with an IntelliBrite Controller (sold
separately). The IntelliBrite Controller [P/N
600054] provides complete control of
Pentair Water Pool and Spa IntelliBrite
underwater LED (light-emitting diode)
lights, and IntelliBrite LED landscape
lights. It’s easy to select a lighting feature,
just dial in any one of the pre-programmed
color light shows or fixed colors. Using the
Hold and Recall buttons you can also
create endless unique lighting effects. The
IntelliBrite Controller can control individual or multiple IntelliBrite LED lights.
Multiple IntelliBrite LED lights can be connected via a junction box to an
IntelliBrite Controller so that all lights can be switched on and off together.
When using multiple IntelliBrite LED lights, the total allowable light wattage is
300 Watts maximum. The following example combination of IntelliBrite LED
lights can be connected to the IntelliBrite Controller:

• Two (2) IntelliBrite 5g pool LED lights (each light 50 Watt maximum) or two (2)
IntelliBrite pool LED lights (each light 70 Watt maximum)

• One (1) IntelliBrite spa LED light (each light 40 Watt maximum)

• Eight (8) IntelliBrite landscape LED lights (each light 15 Watt maximum)

The following describes how to install the IntelliBrite 5g pool LED light fixture. Read
through pages 6 through 8 before starting the installation procedure.

BEFORE STARTING: The following information describes the tasks that must be
completed by the electrician before the IntelliBrite light fixture is installed in a new
pool construction.

Be sure that the pool or spa meets the requirements of the current National Electrical
Code (N.E.C.) Article 680-22 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 as
follows:

• The lighting circuit has a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for
line voltage models, and has an appropriately rated circuit breaker.

• The Junction Box (or, for 12 volt models, the low voltage
transformer) is located at least 8 inches above the maximum water
level of the pool and at least 48 inches from the edge of the pool;
see Figure 1.

• The light fixture and all metal items within 5 feet of the pool are
properly electrically bonded.

• The wet niche is properly installed so 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. (Not more than 20" depth in
Canada.)

• The wet niche is properly electrically bonded and grounded via the
No. 8 AWG ground connector located at the rear of the niche; see
Figure 1, page 7.

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®. The
electrical system inspection using this kit must be performed by trained and certified
personnel.

•. To be certain that the pool or spa electrical system meets all applicable
requirements, the electrician should also consult the local building
department.

11. Place the light circuit board over the base studs and seat the circuit board
on top of the thermal strips. Be sure the two connecting wires are not
caught between the housing and the edge of the circuit board.

12. Using a ¼" nut driver, secure the circuit board with the four (4) retaining nuts.

Be sure to install ALL of the four (4) retaining nuts. These

nuts ensure proper electrical ground. Failure to install all of the retaining
nuts could create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious
injury to pool users, installers or others due to electrical shock.

13. Connect the two connector plugs to the circuit board terminals.

14. Install NEW GASKET ONTO LENS (see illustration on next page): Stretch
the gasket around the circumference of the lens. Be sure the gasket is
installed evenly around the lens.

15. ALIGN LENS/GASKET ONTO LIGHT HOUSING:

a) With the light housing resting on its base, place the lens/gasket on top of
the light housing.

b) Rotate the lens/gasket to align the letter “W” (“WIDE” angle) on the lens
with the brass nut in the housing (see diagram on page 15 for brass nut
location).

Note: The IntelliBrite 5g light lens ships from the factory in the ‘WIDE’ (W) angle
position. To use the “NARROW” angle light beam, rotate the lens/gasket to
align the letter “N” on lens. Note: For more information about using the “WIDE”
and NARROW angle lens, see page 17.

16. INSTALL FACE RING: Place the face ring on top of the lens/gasket/housing.
Rotate the face ring so the

pilot screw

hole is aligned in the 12 O’clock
position, with the lens letter “W” (or “N”) and the brass nut in the housing. Also,
verify the “TOP” position arrow indicator label (see page 15) on the rear of the
housing is aligned with the pilot screw on the face ring.

17. INSTALL UNI-TENSION CLAMP: With the hook ends of the circular uni-tension
clamp pointing down, spread the clamp and place it in the “U” recesses of the
locking levers. Be sure the hook ends of the clamp are located between the pair
of locking levers as shown below and that the wire clamp is properly engaged
with all of the lock levers.

18. Place a cloth on the ground to protect the lens. Turn the light over so the lens is
resting on the cloth. Be sure the orientation of the wire clamp and the bolt
connection is positioned at 45°.

19. Tighten the bolt and nut until the distance between the ends of the clamp equals
¼-inch or less. Continue with Step 20 on the next page.

21. Final check for proper IntelliBrite light operation: Switch on the
main switch or circuit breaker to the system, and the switch that
operates the IntelliBrite underwater light itself. The light should
illuminate when power is applied. If not recheck the installation steps
starting with Step 1 (page 11).

Wide and Narrow Angle Lens Adjustment

Unique Wide and Narrow Angle Lens Feature

The unique IntelliBrite 5g LED pool light lens geometry provides a choice of “wide” or
“narrow” angle light beam to suit various size pools. For lights located on either side of
the pool, simply rotate the lens to the ‘wide’ (W) angle position, which will provide a wider
angle light beam for greater underwater coverage and light reflection. For lights located
either end of the pool, rotate the lens to the ‘narrow’ (N) angle light beam position for
increased underwater light intensity and distance.

Note: The IntelliBrite 5g light lens ships from the factory in the ‘WIDE’ (W) angle position.
