GENERAL INFORMATION

       FILE E39338

The Hayward® ColorLogic™ LED (light-emitting diode) underwater lighting fixture you have purchased is designed to mount into Hayward fixture housings (niches) manufactured 1993 and later. Hayward light fixtures may fit into other niches, but the installation will not carry a UL approval.

Hayward SP0524, SP0525, and SP0527 Series ColorLogic LED pool lights are UL listed under file number E39338 and, to be approved, must be used with Hayward models SP0600, SP0607, SP0604C, or SP0609C fixture housings (niches). Hayward SP0532, SP0533 and SP0535 Series ColorLogic LED spa lights are UL listed under file number E39338 and, to be approved, must be used with Hayward models SP0601, SP0608, SP0606C, or SP0610C fixture housings (niches). Installation of light and niche must be in accordance with Article 680 of the National Electric Code (NEC) and any applicable local codes. If non-metallic conduit is used, a #8 AWG grounding conductor must be run through the conduit and connected to the grounding connector on the inside of the niche. This connection must be encapsulated using a listed potting compound in accordance with NEC Article 680-20, such as 3M Scotch Cast Wet Niche Potting Compound No. 2135 (UL file E130394) or equivalent. The integral external connection on the niche should be connected to a #8 AWG bonding conductor also required by the NEC. Please refer to your niche instructions for details.

Except when the fixture is installed in an area of the swimming pool or spa that is not used for swimming and the lens is adequately guarded to keep any person from contacting it, the fixture must be installed in or on a wall of the pool or spa, with the top of the lens not less than 18 inches (46 cm) below the normal water level of the pool or spa.

Important Note When Installing Niches in Concrete/Guinite Pools
SP0600, SP0601 and SP0608 Niches: A cardboard cover and 2 screws are provided with the niche to protect the niche and mounting screw holes. Leave these in place during construction to prevent intrusion of concrete which may damage the niche or screw threads. REMOVE and discard both the screws and the protective cardboard cover when ready to install the light fixture.

SP0604C, SP0606C, SP0609C, and SP0610C Niches: A plastic cover is provided with the niche to protect the niche and mounting screw holes. Leave the cover in place during construction to prevent intrusion of concrete which may damage the niche or screw threads. Before applying plaster, the outer edge of the cover may be torn off to allow plastering up to the edge of the niche. REMOVE and discard the plastic cover when ready to install the light fixture. If the light fixture is installed in the niche before pool or spa construction, the plastic cover may be reversed and taped to the edge of the light’s face plate to protect the light from concrete during construction.

6a. CONNECTING THE LIGHT TO CONTROLS – 120V
In accordance with NEC Article 680-22, all 120v underwater light fixtures must have a GFCI protector. If multiple Hayward ColorLogic lights are installed, they may be synchronized. To enable light synchronization, wire all lights to the same switch or relay. The Hayward ColorLogic lights are controlled via power-cycling. No special controller is required to activate the light and switch it through different modes. The light fixture can be switched with any basic on/off switch (must not be used with a dimmer).

If a Hayward PSC2100 Series Pool/Spa Control System is being used, wire the LED light fixture to either the main “LIGHT” circuit, or the “AUX 4” circuit. The Hayward PSC2100 controller has an integral GFCI for these circuits and an additional GFCI need not be installed. Please note that if the “LIGHT” circuit on the PSC controller is used, the controller must be configured for a non- dimming light (dip switch #1 down). The Hayward ColorLogic LED light fixtures are also compatible with a variety of other pool/spa controllers that control devices through simple on/off switching; refer to your controller’s instruction manual for details.

For troubleshooting, please see the operating instructions part of this manual.

6b. CONNECTING THE LIGHT TO CONTROLS – 12V
A suitable transformer must be installed which is rated for low-voltage landscape and swimming pool and spa lights (Intermatic model PX100, PX300, or equivalent). The transformer must be rated at or above the total wattage used by all light fixtures attached. Follow the transformer manufacturer’s instructions for wiring it correctly. If multiple Hayward ColorLogic lights are installed, they may be synchronized. To enable light synchronization, wire all lights to the same switch.

The Hayward ColorLogic lights are controlled via power-cycling. No special controller is required to activate the light and switch it through different modes. The light fixture can be switched with any basic on/off light switch (must not be used with a dimmer).

If a Hayward PSC2100 Pool/Spa Control System is being used, wire the LED light fixture to either the main “LIGHT” circuit, or the “AUX 4” circuit. Please note that if the “LIGHT” circuit on the PSC controller is used, the controller must be configured for a non-dimming light (dip switch #1 down). The Hayward LED light fixtures are also compatible with a variety of other pool/spa controllers that control devices through simple on/ off switching; refer to your controller’s installation manual for details.

For troubleshooting, please see the operating instructions part of this manual. If the total wire length from the transformer to the light exceeds 60 feet, the use of a higher voltage transformer is recommended; see the table on the back cover of this manual for details.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

GETTING STARTED
Congratulations on your purchase of a Hayward ColorLogic LED Light. Welcome to a more colorful world brought to you by Hayward and Chromacore, (R) patented technology that generates colored light and effects using a microprocessor to control red, green, and blue LED’s.

Your Hayward ColorLogic underwater pool or spa light has these features:

1. Long-lasting LED’s (light-emitting diodes) which can last up to 10 times longer than current incandescent, halogen, or metalhalide pool and spa lights.
2. Multicolor capability without any color wheels or moving parts to wear out.
3. Multicolor program capability which allows you to select any one of 12 different programs, 5 fixed colors, and 7 color shows.
4. Low power consumption. Uses approximately half of the power needed for an ordinary 100 watt light.

OPERATING THE LIGHT
Your Hayward ColorLogic light is operated through power-cycling: a method of changing modes which requires no special controller or interface. To activate the light, simply turn on the switch. To deactivate the light, turn off the switch. To advance to the next program, turn the switch off, then back on within 10 seconds. Whenever the light has been off for over 60 seconds, and is first turned on, it will come on to white for 15 seconds for quick clear view of your pool, then go to the last fixed color or color show it was running.

LIGHT SYNCHRONIZATION
If your pool or spa has multiple Hayward ColorLogic LED lights, they may be operated independently, or they can be easily synchronized so they will all display the same colors and shows at the same time. For light synchronization, all lights must be wired to the same switch. Once installed, all lights should be automatically synchronized, however, if they get out of sync, they can be re-synchronized easily. To re-synchronize your lights, turn the switch on, then back off, then wait between 11 and 14 seconds and turn the switch back on. When the lights come back on, they should enter program #1, and be synchronized.

PROGRAMS
Your Hayward ColorLogic light has the capability to display 12 different programs. These programs are advanced using power-cycling. The programs are:

1. Show- Voodoo Lounge – Fast Color Wash
2. Fixed – Deep Blue Sea
3. Fixed – Afternoon Skies
4. Fixed – Emerald
5. Fixed – Sangria
6. Fixed – Cloud White
7. Show- Twilight – Slow Color Wash
8. Show- Tranquility – Blue/Cyan/White Fade
9. Show- Gemstone – Blue/Green/Magenta Fade
10. Show- USA! – Red/White/Blue Switch
11. Show- Mardi Gras – Fast Random Fade
12. Show- Cool Cabaret – Fast Random Fade

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have a problem with your Hayward ColorLogic light, please try the following tips before calling for service:

PROBLEM: Light will not advance to the next show when it is power-cycled (turned “off” and then back “on”).
SOLUTION: Do not power-cycle the switch rapidly, leave it off for at least 1 second before turning it back on.

PROBLEM: Light goes to white whenever it is power-cycled (turned “off” and then back “on”).
SOLUTION: Be sure that you power-cycle the light for less than 10 seconds.

PROBLEM: Multiple lights are not correctly synchronized.
SOLUTION: Follow the steps in these instructions to re-synchronize the lights.

PROBLEM: Light will not come on.
SOLUTION: Check ground fault and reset if necessary.

PROBLEM: Light will not come on or cycles on and off.
SOLUTION: Automatic thermal switch may be cycling due to excessive temperatures. Check pool or spa water temperature.

PROBLEM: Light does not function properly, or does not function at all.
SOLUTION: Verify that your pool/spa controller is not “dimming” the light.

When installing low-voltage lights, the length of the cord has an effect on performance. To prevent performance problems with low-voltage lights, verify the transformer is providing the minimum required voltage according to the table below. To check this voltage, measure the voltage at the transformer while the light is “on” and operating in “white” mode. In some cases, a voltage greater than 12 volts is required due to a long cord run. Some transformers provide higher voltage taps for this purpose; check your transformer manufacturer’s installation instructions for details.
