SAFETY FIRST
Caution should be used when dealing with any electrical and/or moving equipment.
- Under NO CIRCUMSTANCE should anyone enter the water with the electrical equipment plugged in and/or in operation.
- Use extreme caution around water, especially cold water, as in Spring, Fall, and Winter, which poses a hazard in and of itself.
- Kasco RGBW light kits are intended for use with a control panel having a GFCI protected power circuit with dedicated field wiring terminals and disconnect switch.
- They are intended to be mounted on a floating fountain or aerator for use in a natural or man-made body of water to comply with NEC Article 682.
- Kasco light kits have not been evaluated for use in swimming pools, spas, or stationary fountains.
- RGBW kit is 120Vac powered and MUST be connected only to GFCI protected circuit.
- RGBW light fixtures MUST be properly submerged (to mark on housing) to avoid overheating; insufficient submersion or operation out of water will damage fixtures and void warranty.
- NEVER lift or drag the equipment by the power cords. If you need to pull the unit to the side of the pond, use the anchoring ropes.
- Do not use boats that tip easily for light kit or unit installation and follow all boating safety rules and regulations, including wearing a PFD (Personal Flotation Device). Do not use waders in deep ponds/lakes or ponds/lakes with drop-offs, drastic slopes, or soft bottom material.
- For more information regarding control panel instructions, refer to your equipment owner’s manual.
- A control panel must be installed a minimum of 5 feet (3m in Canada) from the body of water unless separated from the body of water by a fence, wall, or other permanent barrier that will make the unit inaccessible to persons in the water. A complete list of control panels can be found in the Accessories section of kascomarine.com.

LSTA BUTTON CONTROLLER
-
The Gear button can be used to change setting mode: Pressing the gear button will display one of the following:
-
SA = standalone mode. This is the mode we use to choose scenes on buttons 1-8 or with the -/+ buttons.
-
PA = change scene page. 10 pages (P0, P1, P2….P9) are available for a total of 80 scenes.
-
This will adjust what scenes buttons 1-8 select.
-
Co = Change color. Use the – /+ buttons adjust the color from 0 to 99 this is similar to a color wheel that will change the color from blue to green to red to white with colors in between
-
SP = Change speed of a color changing scene use the -/+ buttons to change speed from -9 – 0 – 9.
9 is slowest, 0 is normal speed, 9 is fastest. -
dI = Dimmer change how bright the lights are. If you go above -9 to 0 is off to normal full brightness. 1 to 9 will add white light to the color until it is all white at 9
-
-
The row of buttons 1 through 8 are for choosing scenes. Default (P0) they choose scenes 1-8. That can be shifted to choose 9-16, 17-24, 25-32, 33-40, etc…. depending on which PA (page) is chosen.
-
To change the PA (page) press the gear button until the screen shows PA, then press the + or -button to increment from PA to P0, P1, P2, P3, P4, etc…
-
P0 = scenes 1-8, P1 = 9-16, P2 = 17=24, P3 = 25-32, P4 = 33-37 (37scenes are programmed)
-
You can also manually increment through the scenes in Standalone mode (SA) by pressing the – or + buttons and then the check mark button. This will activate the scene # you choose.
CONTROLLER OPERATION

MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCE should anyone enter the water while a fountain is operating.
- The following maintenance procedures can be utilized to ensure many years of quality performance from your Kasco fountain and light kit and reduce the need for more costly repair work.
- PROPER INSTALLATION: Proper installation of Kasco equipment will include a power source with ground fault protection. The control panel included with the equipment has built-in ground fault protection for both the fountain and the lighting kit. Ground fault interrupters are a safety feature that can also alert you to electrical leaks in the equipment. If you have repeat, consistent trips of the ground fault device, the equip-ment should be disconnected and removed from the water. The power cord should be inspected for dam-age and you should contact your distributor or contact Kasco Marine at 715-262-4488 or sales@kascomar-ine.com for further instructions. A complete list of control panels can be found in the Accessories section of kascomarine.com.
- OBSERVATION: Operating equipment should be observed on a regular basis (daily, if possible) for any reduc-tion or variation in performance. If a change in performance is observed, the equipment should be discon-nected from power and inspected.
- WINTER STORAGE: In regions where there is significant freezing in the wintertime, the light kit should be removed from the water to protect it from the expansion pressure of ice. Storage over winter is best in a location that is out of the sun and cool, but above 32° F.
- CLEANING: Light kits should be removed from the water at least once per year (at the end of the season in cold climates) to clean the exterior of the system. The light fixture surfaces dissipate heat into the water, and any algae, calcium, or other build-up will become an insulator that blocks heat transfer and may lead tooverheating and damage. Keeping the lenses clean will also ensure the brightest light possible.
