requirementsaremet.
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.

Fill the pool until the underwater light is
completely submerged in water before operating
the light for more than 10 seconds. 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.

4.1 Preparing the light Fixture for
Replacement
Verify that the pool meets the requirements of the current
National Electrical Code
®
(NEC) 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:
1.
The lighting circuit must have a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for 120 volt models,
and must have an appropriately rated circuit
breaker.
2.
The junction box (or, for 12 volt models, the low
voltage transformer) must be located at least eight
(8) inches above water level, at least four (4)
inches above ground level or pool deck level, and
at least 48 inches from the edge of the pool or spa.
See Figure 1.
3.
The light fixture and all metal items within five
(5) feet of the pool must be properly electrically
bonded to a reliable point of grounding.
4.
The wet niche must be 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.
