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 fixtureis 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 Infinite WaterColors LED Light Controller is suitable for direct conduit connection to lights and must be located at least (8) inches above water level, at least four (4) inches above ground level, and at least 48 inches (4 feet) from the edge of the pool, or as required by local code. 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 forthe 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
Use the chart below to determine the appropriate pipe length for your installation.

Cord length options: 100ft and 200ft

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

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 forgunite 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® Infinite WaterColors 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.
