ROUGH IN WIRING

1

Excavate a 14″ x 30″ x 16″ deep hole for the Q-VAULT direct burial housing.

2

Dig trenches for primary & secondary wiring to Q-VAULT housing location.

3

Place drain pipe at a 30 degree angle at the lowest slope of land for proper drainage. Fill bottom of pit

with a minimum of 4″ of gravel.

Use putty provided to seal wires in potting well. It is important that the well is liquid tight so that when the re-enterable epoxy is poured, it

does not escape out the bottom. Be sure the putty is put into the very

bottom of the well to allow ample room for the epoxy. SEE DIAGRAM O

A: The 3M-8882 re-enterable epoxy takes several hours to set. When
2 set it will form a into a water tight “jello” consistency.
B: Mix the two part epoxy together per 3M instructions located on the epoxy packaging.
C: Push all the mixed epoxy together to one end of the bag. Cut the corner of the bag.

3 A: Using the syringe pull the mixed epoxy into the syringe by pulling
the plunger out slowly.
B: Slowly dispense the mixed epoxy from the syringe into the utilized potting wells. SEE DIAGRAM P

This UL Standard is a transformer standard only and is not a complimentary component to any luminaire standard. UL 1838, Pool & Spa and 2108

does not permit the use of UL 506 transformers unless the transformer is additionally tested and subsequently listed to UL 1838, Pool & Spa or 2108. A

UL-506 transformer may be tested as an internal components to a UL-1598 luminaire, to be an integral transformer.

The Scope of UL-506 (Section 1.2) specifically excludes use in Landscape Lighting Systems and for use in Pool & Spa Lighting Systems.

Additionally, a Cord and Plug connection is not permitted. In no instance can a UL-506 transformer be used in Landscape or Pool & Spa

Lighting. A UL 1838, UL Pool Spa and UL 2108 Power Supply may power a UL-1598 luminaire that was listed prior to the UL-2108 effective

PS

The UL limit of 15 volts AC at the Power Supply under no load (Open Circuit) was established for life safety due to shock potential in wet conditions. The Standard also requires a grounded isolation barrier between the primary and secondary windings. In the Pool & Spa Standard the primary must be 120V & the connection must be in a separate junction box or compartment.
