TRI COLOUR OPERATION

The GK-Retro LED Light now utilises variable voltage operation allowing the light to
operate on any existing 12v AC / 24v AC or 32v AC power supply.

NOTE:

The use of DC / Electronic (or switch mode) power supplies is not permitted as they can
cause disruptions in the lights normal operation & in some cases damage the lights
internal electronic components. For more information, please contact Spa Electrics Pty
Ltd.

For safe & proper installation, use only parts (screws, plugs, sealant etc) provided.
For Multi Colour operation, please refer to the MULITPLUS Operating Manual

The GK-Retro Light must be water cooled at all times. DO NOT switch the light on
until installation is complete and the light is fully submerged in water.

Ensure sufficient cable is coiled behind the light to allow for servicing
(approx 300-600mm)

Ensure only circular cable not exceeding 10mm diameter is connected to the
GK-Retro Light. The use of Fig. 8 or TPS cable will not seal correctly & will void the
product warranty.

The GK-Retro LED Light does not contain any user serviceable parts, opening the
light will void the product warranty.

When using the ‘B’ plate for fibreglass installations - ensure that silicon sealant is
applied to fixing screws to seal the fibreglass wall.

The GK-Retro Light is NOT suitable for horizontal mounting.
This light contains no user-serviceable parts; opening the light will void the product

Pool chemicals & PH levels: Due to the corrosive nature of unblanaced pool chemi-

cals, Spa Electrics strogly recommencd that your pool water is balanced prior to
installing your pool Lights or any plastic or stainless steel components, and tested
weekly to maintain these levels. pH levels should be maintained between 7.2- 7.6 at
all times to ensure the longevity of these components.

Failure to do so can result in chemical damage to the light housing and
pool fittings, including stainless steel components.

Please note: Lights or components found to have excessive chemical
damage will not be covered under our manufacturer’s warranty policy
