Risk of electrical shock or electrocution!

This MagicStream™ Laminar must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a
qualified pool serviceman in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable
national, state and local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical
hazard which could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers, or others due to
electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.

LAMINAR LED LIGHT ENGINE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

The following procedure describes how to remove and replace the Laminar LED light engine.

1. Switch AC power OFF at the circuit breaker before servicing the MagicStream Laminar.

Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to service personnel, pool users or others due to
electric shock.

2. LED light engine removal: Remove the two deck cover
retaining screws.

3. Remove the laminar deck cover and Laminar assembly from
the Laminar housing and place them on the deck.

4. Turn the Laminar assembly upside and it place face down.

5. Remove the eight (8) retaining screws securing the LED
light engine to the Laminar assembly.

6. Remove the two (2) retaining screws securing the solenoid
thumper to the Laminar assembly.

7. Firmly pull the LED light engine from the Laminar assembly.

8. At the transformer, disconnect the LED light wire from the
transformer.

9. With the LED light engine separated from the Laminar
assembly, cut the attached LED light engine cable that runs
to the transformer.

10. Route the replacement LED light conduit cable: Strip back the ends of two wires on the replacement LED light
cable and existing light cable in the conduit. Tape the wires together so that the cable can be pulled through the
conduit.

11. From the transformer end of the cable, pull the cable through conduit until the new cable is visible and exits the
conduit at the transformer. At the Laminar, leave three (3) feet of cable slack in the deck housing.

12. Connect the LED light wires to the 12 VAC taps of the transformer.

13. Connect the 120 VAC side of the transformer to a 120 VAC GFCI power feed that is controlled by a single switch.
When installing multiple laminars, make sure all the laminars are connected to a single switch. You will use this
switching capability to program the LED light engine.

14. LED light engine installation: Position the o-ring over the
top of the Laminar assembly opening.

15. Carefully insert the end of the LED light engine into each of
the screens inside the Laminar assembly. Be sure that each
screen is aligned and centered on the transparent shaft.

16. Align the o-ring with the top of the LED light engine and the
Laminar assembly opening.

17. Secure the LED light engine to the Laminar assembly with
the eight (8) retaining screws.

18. Mount the solenoid thumper onto the Laminar assembly
and secure with the two (2) retaining screws.

19. Reinstall the Laminar assembly and adjust as necessary.
Adjust the Laminar so that the Laminar orifice is visible
through the slot in the deck cover.

20. Place the deck cover and Laminar unit in the deck housing.
If the hoses in the deck housing prevent the proper seating
of the deck housing cover, you may have to loosen the
union nut briefly and allow the hoses to twist, so that they
spiral out of the way, into the deck housing.

21. Secure the deck housing cover with the two retaining screws.

22. Adjust the Laminar throttling valve to ¼ open. Turn on the supply pump and let the Laminar fill with water.

23. When a stream of water begins to flow from the Laminar orifice, adjust the flow, elevation and direction as desired.
