INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

IMPORTANT: The instruction manual you are holding includes essential information on the safety measures to be implemented for installation and start-up. Therefore, the installer as well as the user must read the instructions before beginning installation and start-up.
Keep this manual for future reference.

To achieve optimum performance of the PAR56 Projector follows the instructions provided below:

VERIFY THE CONTENTS OF THE PACKING:

The following accessories are included inside the box:

• Floodlamp unit
• Guarantee booklet
• Bag with joints
• Installation and maintenance manual

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS:

This floodlamp has been designed to be used fully submerged underwater in freshwater swimming pools. It is a Class III electric apparatus with very low safety voltage (12V  with alternating current).
The floodlamp compiles with IPX8 – 2 m.
This floodlamp complies with international safety standards for lights, especially the EN 60598-2-18 standard. LIGHTS PART 2: SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS SECTION 18  LIGHTS FOR SWIMMING POOLS AND SIMILAR APPLICATIONS.
The manufacturer is not responsible in any circumstances for the assembly, installation, or start-up of any electric components which have been inserted or handled at locations other than its own premises.

INSTALLATION:

• In order to prevent glare, the floodlamps should be installed so that they face away from the residence or the usual view of the swimming pool.
• In the event that lighting is used in training or competition pools, the floodlamps should be installed on the sides to prevent glare on the swimmers.
• To avoid the need to empty the pool to change the lamp, we recommend that the floodlamp be installed in areas that are accessible from the upper edge of the pool.
  Prior to installation verify that the gland seal has been fully tightened.
  The floodlamp should be placed on the wall of the pool at approximately 400-700 mm from the water surface (Fig. 1).

ASSEMBLY:

Once the niche has been fitted, assemble the floodlamp.
To connect the floodlamp to the electric power supply insert the cable through the gland seal nut. Tighten the gland seal nut until you can verify that the cable will not yield when you pull on it with your hand.
Take the precaution of leaving 1.5 m of cable wound on the base of the floodlamp in order to be able to remove the floodlamp to the edge of the pool in the event that lamp replacement or handling is required.
Insert the entire floodlamp assembly in the housing (Fig. 2).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:

The floodlamps are supplied with a 2 x 1.5mm2 Cu H07RNF cable.
The projector must be connected to a safety transformer. Ensure that a 12 V AC power supply reaches the projector. The projector’s performance may be affected in the event of a voltage drop. The projector must receive a 12 V AC power supply.
The transformer must be properly sized to supply the right VA to each LED projector that is wired.
This projector only works underwater.

Control systems

• Monocolor models do not have a control system. They can only be turned on and off.
• RGB models are operated using a remote control, which comes with the projector.
  – Click the side selector to activate the remote control (A).
  – Extend the antenna to ensure good signal coverage (B).
  – Hold the remote control at least 2 meters from the projector.
  It enables the following scenarios to be created: 1. Fade 1 / 2. Fade 2 / 3. Smooth / 4. Flash / 5.
  Red / 6. Purple / 7. Green / 8. Cyan / 9. Blue / 10. White / 11. Orange / 12. Off.
  It has a 12 V battery of 23 A.

In both cases, you should make sure that the voltage received by the lamp is never more than 12V AC.

MAINTENANCE:

Remove the floodlamp to the edge of the swimming pool and loosen it until the fastening dog yields sufficiently so that the floodlamp unit can be separated from the housing.
To remove the lamp, unscrew the 6 screws which secure the decorative ring to the base of the floodlamp (Fig.3).
Remove the lamp from the inside of the base of the floodlamp and disconnect the two terminals, loosening the two screws which secure them to the lamp. (Fig. 4).

Change the lamp and assemble the Floodlamp, in the opposite order described in point 4 of assembly, taking special care to:

• Connect the cable terminals to the lamp, using the 2 screws supplied with the lamp (Fig. 5).
• Fully center the 110×11 O-ring in its seat.
• Firmly tighten the nuts.

Attention:

• Before any handling ensure that there is NO voltage supplied to the floodlamp.
• The new lamp should have the same characteristics as that supplied with the floodlamp PAR56.
• In order to ensure full watertightness, clean the seat of the O-ring for the lamp or replace the O-ring if you observe any notches or permanent damage.

START-UP:

Ensure that the voltage the lamp receives is never greater than 12 V.
The floodlamp should only operate underwater while secured to the vertical walls of the pool. Never switch on the floodlamp if it is not underwater.

SAFETY WARNINGS:

• If the cable or wiring of this luminaire becomes damaged, it may only be replaced by the manufacturer or one of its service engineers, or a person with a similar qualification,  in order to prevent any risks.
• The light source of this luminaire may only be replaced by the manufacturer, one of its service engineers, or a person with similar qualifications.
• The persons who are in charge of assembly should have the required qualifications for this type of work.
• Avoid making contact with the electric voltage.
• Comply with the current standards regarding accident prevention.
• In this regard, the IEC 364-7-702 standards must be observed. WIRING IN BUILDINGS. SPECIAL WIRING. SWIMMING POOLS.
• Any operation related to the maintenance or replacement of parts should be performed with the floodlamp disconnected from the electric power system.
• Do not handle with wet feet.
• The manufacturer is not responsible in any circumstances for the assembly, installation, or start-up of any electric components which have been inserted or handled at locations other than its own premises.
• This projector is resistant to pool treatments described below, always that the concentration values do not exceed the following levels:
  TYPE OF TREATMENT (concentration in water):
  Chlorine (2mg/l), Bromine (5 mg/l), Salt electrolysis = Na Cl: (6 g/l).
  Attention: Please note that the Ph of pool water always must be between 7.2 and 7.6.
