Kasco LED4S19 Universal Stainless Steel WaterGlow Lighting
SAFETY FIRST
- Please read and follow these important instructions to help ensure your safety and the quality performance of your Kasco equipment.
- LEDS19 kit is 120Vac and MUST be plugged into a GFCI protected receptacle or GFCI protected field terminal connections.
- LEDS19 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.
- Use caution when dealing with any electrical and/or moving equipment.
- Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should anyone enter the water with the electrical equipment plugged in and/or in operation.
- Kasco WaterGlow lighting kits are intended for use with a Listed control panel having a GFCI protected receptacle, or field wiring terminals and disconnect switch, or a timer with a disconnect for use with a GFCI receptacle. 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 WaterGlow lighting kits have not been evaluated for use in swimming pools, spas or stationary fountains.
- Use extreme caution around water, especially cold water, as in spring, fall, and winter, which poses a hazard in and of itself.
- 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 lighting kit 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 your 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 another 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.
- When using the universal mounting bracket assembly, ensure the Waterflow fixtures are mounted properly to provide cooling of the fixture. Typically, the bottom half of the fixture should be submerged.
- Recheck the fixture elevation with the fountain/aerator in operation. Assembly to your fountain/aerator float will be as illustrated on the next page. Make adjustment to the fixture elevation to ensure the fixture is properly submerged when the fountain/aerator is in operation.
- Many fountain/aerator floats will drop lower in the water when running.
TOOLS REQUIRED
7/16” socket and driver or combination wrench
PARTS INCLUDED
UNIVERSAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
- Attach the S19 bracket (F) to the light fixture (C) by using two 1/4”-20 x 1/2”’ hex screws (D) on either side in combination with 1/4” lock washers (E). 7/16’’ wrench required. Repeat this step for all fixtures
- (Optional) If you want to use one of the color choices instead of the standard soft white light, peel the protective lining from both sides of the colored lens (B) of your choice. Place the lens inside the lens cap (A) making sure the 3 flaps are holding the lens in place. Repeat this step for all lens caps. Continue to Step 3.
- (Optional) Place lens caps over the light fixture (C) as shown. Ensure the cap is seated all the way down onto the fixture housing. Make sure the fixture and lens are clean before installing the lens cap. Repeat for all fixtures.
- Use a 1/4”-20 x 3/4” screw (J), flat washer (H), lock washer (E), and hex nut (G) to secure a Universal mounting bracket (I) to each S19 bracket (F), as shown.
- Use a 2-1/2” (L), fender washer (K), lock washer (E), and hex nut (G) to secure the bracket to the float.
- Repeat for remaining fixtures, spacing evenly around the float. Cable ties can be used to attach the fixture cords to float, decrease play, and ensure protection. Cable-tie the light kit power cord to the float opposite the fountain power cord for balance and to prevent damage from the fountain. Remember: LEDS19 fixtures MUST be properly submerged (to mark on housing) to avoid overheating.
- For vertical bracket mounting, use the hardware shown above to fasten the two brackets together. Then use your existing float screws through the slot in the Universal bracket to secure it. For additional vertical options, flip the LED light bracket (F) upside down.
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 light kit and reduce the need for more costly repair work. Note that the LED fixtures are sealed and do not require any maintenance other than cleaning. Do not attempt to open light fixtures, as this will void the warranty.
PROPER INSTALLATION :
Installation of the LED light fixtures on aerating fountain units with the mounting brackets oriented as shown will ensure proper submersion of the light fixtures. Each fixture must be partially submerged in order for lights to operate properly. Other applications for these fixtures must provide at least the same submersion to properly cool the fixture. Operating the fixtures out of water will damage the LED and void warranty. Proper installation of Kasco equipment will include a power source with ground fault protection. 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 reduction or variation in performance. If a change in performance is observed, the equipment should be disconnected 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 to overheating and damage. Keeping the lenses clean will also ensure the brightest light possible.
