Product Usage Instructions
- Confirm that power has been turned off to the existing underwater light that is being replaced. If you cannot be sure that the power has been disconnected, then
- DO NOT CONTINUE WITH THE INSTALLATION.
- If you are not pulling a new cable through, and instead are using the Blue Square patented Plug Kit to attach to the existing cable, then follow the instructions contained with the Plug Kit.
- Locate the connection point of the existing pool light cable, which is likely to be at a Junction Box or at a Transformer. Disconnect the existing pool light cable from the Junction Box or Transformer and attach a draw wire to the existing cable.
- Unscrew the existing underwater light and disengage it from the pool wall. Float the light to the pool deck and cut the existing pool light cable close to the rear of the existing pool light.
- You will need to use the existing pool light cable as a draw wire to pull through the cable on the Spectrum LED 360 Nicheless Light. Refer to Diagrams 2-4. Remove 3 of the outer cable sheaths on both the existing and new pool light cables. Expose a 2 length of copper conductor, and twist together tightly. Form loops in the copper conductors and join and twist together with loops on the new cable. It is important to then twist firmly to create a firm join. Cover the join with duct tape.
- Pull the existing cable from the Junction Box or Transformer end, so that the Spectrum LED 360 Nicheless Light Cable is pulled through. Leave sufficient cable up on the pool deck. Do not re-connect the cable to the junction box or transformer just yet.
- Place the pool light in the pool. Go back to where the new cable has been pulled through, cut excess cable, and connect up to the transformer or junction box in the same manner as the old light was previously wired.
- Back at the pool, using the orange tool provided, screw the new Spectrum 360 Nicheless Pool Light into the female thread until secure. See Diag. 6. Installation is now complete. The finished installation is shown in Diag. 7.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
RETRO INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Confirm that power has been turned off to the existing underwater light that is being replaced. If you cannot be sure that power has been disconnected, then DO NOT CONTINUE WITH THE INSTALLATION. If you are not pulling a new cable through, and instead are using the Blue Square patented Plug Kit to attach to the existing cable, then follow the instructions contained with the Plug Kit.
Diag 1. Existing 1½” female thread in pool wall, cable extended to deck.
Step 2: Locate the connection point of the existing pool light cable,
which is likely to be at a Junction Box or at a Transformer. Disconnect the
existing pool light cable from the Junction Box or Transformer and attach a
draw wire to the existing cable.
Step 3: Unscrew the existing underwater light and disengage it from the
pool wall. Float the light to pool deck and cut the existing pool light cable
close to the rear of the existing pool light.
Step 4: You will need to use the existing pool light cable as a draw wire
to pull through the cable on the Spectrum LED 360 Nicheless Light. Refer to
Diagrams 2-4. Remove 3” of outer cable sheath on both the existing and new
pool light cables. Expose a 2” length of copper conductor, and twist together
tightly. Form loops in the copper conductors and join and twist together with
loops on the new cable. It is important to then twist firmly to create a firm
join. Cover the join with duct tape.
18AWG Cable is supplied with the patented Plug Kit factory-fitted to the end, with a Protective Cap also fitted.
WARNING : Cable Nut and Clamp have been factory tensioned to comply with UL requirements. Do not adjust.
Step 5: Pull the existing cable from the Junction Box or Transformer end,
so that the Spectrum LED 360 Nicheless Light Cable is pulled through. Leave
sufficient cable up on the pool deck. Do not re-connect the cable to the
junction box or transformer just yet.
Step 6: Unscrew the Protective Cap from the end of the cable (do not
discard – keep for possible future use). The two Orings on the Plug Kit are
factory-lubricated, ensure they are free from dust and grit. If needed, wipe
clean and re-apply a small amount of silicone-based o-ring lubricant. Align
the Plug Kit with the exposed silver connector pins on the rear of the new
light and push into place. Whilst holding the plug kit in place, tighten the
Connector Nut by hand until firmly tight, see Diag. 5.
Step 7: Place the pool light in the pool. Go back to where the new cable
has been pulled through, cut excess cable and connect up to the transformer or
junction box in the same manner as the old light was previously wired.
( Note: If conditions suit, leave a service loop of cable 6ft long which
will aid any future servicing.) Pull the cable tight – so that the pool light
is drawn in close to the 1 ” female thread in pool wall.
Step 8: Back at the pool, using the orange tool provided, screw the new
Spectrum 360 Nicheless Pool Light into the female thread until secure. See
Diag. 6. Installation is now complete. Finished installation is shown in Diag.
