Installing the Jandy Nicheless LED Light

WARNING
Risk of Electrical Shock or Electrocution. This underwater light must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool serviceman in accordance with the National Electrical Code® (Canadian Electrical Code, in Canada) and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard, which could result in death or serious injury to pool or spa users, installers or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect the power to the light at the circuit breaker before installing or servicing the light. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to serviceman, pool or spa users or others due to electrical shock.
NOTE: Jandy Nicheless Lights are Low Voltage and do not have any exposed metal and as such do not require a separate ground or bonding wire.

Preparing the Light Fixture for Installation

NOTE: The electrician must complete preparatory steps before light fixture is installed. See Figure 1.
Verify that the pool meets the requirements of the current National Electrical Code® (Canadian Electrical Code, in Canada) 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 electrical systems must meet, are as follows:

1. The junction box or the low-voltage magnetic transformer must be located at least eight (8) inches (measured from the inside of the bottom of the junction box or transformer) above the MAXIMUM water level, OR at least four (4) inches above the ground level or pool deck, whichever is greater. The junction box or 12VAC magnetic transformer must also be installed at least forty-eight (48) inches (4 ft.) from the edge of the pool. See Figure 1.
2. 1.5″ pipe must be installed through the bond beam followed by 1″ conduit for the cord using sweep elbows only for turns. Do not use 90 degree elbows. It is highly recommended to use 1.5″ pipe throughout the entire width of the bond beam, however, the minimum length for the particular light being installed is specified in Table 1.
3. A standard 1.5″ plastic wall / return fitting (not included) must be installed so that the top edge of the underwater light’s lens is at least 4 inches (10.2 cm) below the surface of the water in the pool. See Figure 1.

NOTE: For optimal lighting results it is recommended to place lights 12-18″ below the water line.
NOTE: To be certain that the pool’s electrical system meets all applicable requirements, the electrician should also consult the local building department.

Figure 1. Jandy ® LED Light Installation with Standard 1.5” Plastic Fitting
Use the chart below to determine the appropriate pipe length for your installation.

All products listed above come in a variety of cord lengths. Cord lengths come in 50, 100 & 150 feet lengths.

Table 1. Jandy ® LED Light Minimum 1.5” pipe length

Installing the Light Fixture

NOTE: Perform these steps only after the electrical system requirements are met.

1. Keep protective cover on to protect the light during installation.
   Figure 2. Standard installation with 1.5″ pool wall fitting

2. Snake the electric cord through the conduit outlet of the wall fitting, into the conduit and up to the location of the pool transformer. Cut the cord 18″-24″ beyond the length needed to reach the transformer to allow for a service loop. Pull the fixture snug to the wall fitting.

3. Remove protective cover after construction (including plastering for gunite pools) is complete. Do not plaster the pool with the construction cover removed.

4. Install cosmetic cover if desired.

5. Apply Teflon™ silicone lube to threads to assist with threading.
   NOTE: When using a 1 1/2″ MIP fitting on the back of a SP-1022 or SP-1408 Wall Fitting, the interior of the Spears and Dura MIP are too small for use with the Jandy® Nicheless LED Lights.

6. Using the included installation tool, thread the light into the wall fitting until it is snug. The light face must be completely flush with the return fitting. Please provide the pool owner with a minimum of 1 key upon job completion.
   Figure 3. Standard installation with 1.5″ pool wall fitting

Wet Area Installations

For wet area lighting within 10 feet (3M) of a pool or spa, use 6 Watt Models ONLY. Except when the luminaire is adequately guarded, the luminaire shall be installed in areas not subject to incidental contact from people, pets, vehicles, and foot traffic.

Wiring Options for Controlling Jandy® Nicheless LED Lights

NOTE: Always consider the cable length when calculating the input voltage at the transformer. The maximum run of service between transformer and lights should not exceed 150ft. in length, inclusive of the use of a J Box or not.
To the extent allowed by local installation codes in effect in the installation jurisdiction and capacity of the electrical equipment, multiple Jandy lights may be controlled with a single switch and a 12VAC magnetic transformer so their colors may be synchronized. IMPORTANT NOTE: All fixtures must be tied into the same transformer, circuit or switch for synchronization to occur. The use of Solid Core over Stranded wire and terminating Bus Bars is strongly recommended.

Wiring to an AquaLink® Controller

The Jandy Nicheless LED Lights can be controlled by an AquaLink controller. Connect the transformer powering the lights to one of the auxiliary relays in the AquaLink.
Refer to Figure 4 to connect the Jandy Nicheless LED Lights to the Power Center.

Jandy® Nicheless Underwater LED Light Operating Instructions

Light Synchronization

1. Turn the light ON. If the light has been off for 7 seconds or longer, the light will turn on with the last color selected.
2. To synchronize multiple lights to the same color mode, you will need to reset to the beginning of the color mode sequence. With the lights ON, turn them OFF for five (5) seconds, then turn ON again. All of the lights will reset to the Alpine White color mode. If all of the lights are not in the Alpine White color mode, they have not been synchronized, repeat step 2.

Operating the Light

3. To change the color mode, turn the light OFF for one 1-3 seconds. Continue turning OFF and ON until the desired light color mode is reached. See Table 3 for the color mode sequence.
Example: If you followed step 3 and are now on Sky Blue and want the lights to be Violet, then the lights must be turned off and on 7 times to bring you to Violet.

Table 3. Color Mode Sequence

4. The lights have memory. If the lights are off for 7 seconds or more, the next time the lights are turned on, they will return to the last color mode they were on prior to being turned off (Step 1 listed above). This function allows you to keep your lights returning to your favorite color mode every time the lights are turned back on.
NOTE To synchronize colors on multiple Jandy® Nicheless Underwater LED Light systems wired to separate switches, perform the above actions on all of their switches simultaneously. All Jandy Nicheless Underwater LED Lights will synchronize automatically if activated by the same switch. No other accessories are required.
