Installing the Light Fixture

NOTE
Perform these steps only after the electrical system
requirements are met.
1. Feed cord through conduit to junction box,
leaving at least four (4) feet of cord at the light
fixture to coil into the base of the light niche, see
Figure 1. The four (4) feet of cord allows the light
to be serviced after the pool is filled with water.
2. Cut the cord at the junction box, leaving at least
six (6) inches of cord to make connections.
3. Strip six (6) inches of the outer cord jacket to
expose the three insulated wires. Be careful not to
damage the insulation on the three (3) inner wires.
4. Install strain relief over cord jacket and connect
all three (3) wires to the corresponding circuit
wires in the junction box. Install the junction box
cover.
5. Coil the 4-foot length of cord around the fixture
or into the base of the pool niche, and place the
light assembly into the niche.
6. Engage the retainer tab on the bottom of the face
ring, then pivot the top of the fixture inward and
tighten the 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 or spa users, installers or
others due to electrical shock.
7. Fill the pool until the underwater light is
completely submerged in water before operating
the light for more than 2 minutes. The light will
heat up quickly when operated outside of water.
Turn on main switch or circuit breaker, and the
switch, which operates the underwater light, to
check for proper operation. Refer to Section 6,
Operating Instructions.
WARNING
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 bulb or lens. This may result in serious
injury to pool or spa users, installers, or bystanders or
damage to property.
