erty damage. Read and follow instructions in owner's
manual when installing and operating equipment.
Installation and maintenance of this circuit, the light, light
niche, and any other accessories attached to the circuit,
must be performed by a licensed electrician.
The complete electrical system must be installed, tested,
and approved by a licensed electrician before it is placed
in operation. Failure to have this product installed by a
licensed professional will void the product warranty.
Risk of electrical shock.
Before removing
fixture from pool wall, ALWAYS TURN OFF THE POWER
at the breaker.
All 12 Volt lamps require the installation of a 12 Volt
transformer.
This light and its light niche must be installed in accor-
dance with Article 680 of the National Electrical Code
(NEC), in the United States, or Section 68 of the Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC), as applicable, and all local code
requirements.
Install an approved Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter in
the electrical circuit for this light.
All devices in the system must be directly grounded to a
positive electrical ground. All devices in the system must
meet all applicable code requirements for bonding.
Burn hazard.
Never operate this light fix-
ture for more than 10 seconds unless it is completely
submerged in water. This fixture requires total submer-
sion for cooling.
Breakage hazard.
Install fixture in a vertical
pool or spa wall – not in floor. Failure to install the fix-
ture properly could result in personal injury and/or prop-
erty damage. Do not push off from the poolside against
the light.
Except when the fixture is installed in an area of the
swimming pool that is not used for swimming and the
lens is adequately guarded to keep any person from con-
tacting it, the fixture shall be installed in or on a wall of
the pool, with the top of the lens opening not less than
18" below the normal level of the pool.
Locate junction box at least 8" above maximum water
level and not less than 4 feet from the perimeter of the
pool.
The junction box must be located:
•
at least 4’ from the perimeter of the pool (unless sepa-
rated from the pool by a solid fence, wall or other
permanent structure,
•
at least 8" above maximum water level,
•
at least 4" above the deck or ground level.
Make sure that the installation is in compliance with
local codes, the NEC, and the CEC, as applicable. See
Figure 1, Page 5.
The improper use of Ozone generators, Chlorine genera-
tors, Copper/Silver Ion generators or certain chemicals
for water purification may cause damage to the fixture.
When such water purification methods are used, be sure
to monitor the water conditions. Subjecting the fixture to
extreme conditions or harsh environments may cause
corrosion and premature failure of the fixture or its
components.
Cutting hazard if light is improperly
installed.
This light is for use only in commercial and
residential swimming pools and spas. It has not been
designed, tested, or approved for use in wave pools,
lazy rivers, or other waterpark features, and should not
be used in them. Use in any application other than a
swimming pool or spa may lead to damage to the light
and cuts to swimmers and will void the warranty.
Sta-Rite will not be responsible for any damages or
injuries due to misapplication of this light.
