Section 2. Installation

WARNING

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION.

This underwater light must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool serviceman in accordance with the National Electrical Code® (Canadian Electrical Code, in Canada) and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard, which could result in death or serious injury to pool or spa users, installers or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect the power to the light at the circuit breaker before installing or servicing the light. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to serviceman, pool or spa users or others due to electrical shock.

NOTE : 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 fixture is 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 for the 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.

To be certain that the pool’s electrical system meets all applicable requirements, the electrician should also consult the local building department.

Figure 1. Jandy LED Light Installation with Standard 1.5″ Plastic Fitting

Use the chart below to determine the appropriate pipe length for your installation.

Table 1. Jandy LED Light Minimum 1.5″ pipe length

Cord length options: 100 ft and 200 ft

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.
   Figure 2. Standard installation with 1.5″ pool wall fitting
   

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 for gunite pools) is complete. Do not plaster the pool with the construction cover removed.

4. Install cosmetic cover if desired.

5. Apply Teflon TM 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 fl ush with the return fitting. Please provide the pool owner with a minimum of 1 key upon job completion.
