GENERAL SAFETY!
Hazardous voltage. Incorrectly installed or
tested equipment may fail, causing severe injury or prop-
erty damage. Read and follow instructions in owner's
manual when installing and operating equipment. Have
a trained pool professional perform all tests.
Risk of electrical shock. Before removing
fixture from pool wall, ALWAYS TURN OFF THE POWER
at the breaker.
All 12 Volt lamps require the installation of a 12 Volt
transformer.
Install this light and light niche in accordance with
Article 680 of the National Electrical Code (NEC), in the
United States, or Section 68 of the Canadian Electrical
Code (CEC), as applicable, and all local code
requirements.
Install an approved Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter in
the electrical circuit for this light.
All devices in the system must be directly grounded to a
positive electrical ground. All devices in the system must
meet all applicable code requirements for bonding.
Installation and maintenance of this circuit, the light, light
niche, and any other accessories attached to the circuit,
must be performed by a qualified, licensed electrician.
The complete electrical system must be installed, tested,
and approved by a qualified, licensed electrician before
it is placed in operation.
Burn hazard. Never operate this light fix-
ture for more than 10 seconds unless it is completely
submerged in water. This fixture requires total submer-
sion for cooling.
Breakage hazard. Install fixture in a vertical
pool or spa wall – not in floor. Failure to install the fix-
ture properly could result in personal injury and/or prop-
erty damage. Do not push off from the poolside against
the light.
Except when the fixture is installed in an area of the
swimming pool that is not used for swimming and the
lens is adequately guarded to keep any person from con-
tacting it, the fixture shall be installed in or on a wall of
the pool, with the top of the lens opening not less than
18” below the normal level of the pool.
The junction box must be located:
• at least 4’ from the perimeter of the pool (unless sepa-
rated from the pool by a solid fence, wall or other per-
manent structure,
• at least 8” above maximum water level,
• at least 4” above the deck or ground level.
Junction boxes should be located off the walkway
around the pool and given additional protection by
installing them next to a fence, building, or other perma-
nent structure. Make sure that the installation is in com-
pliance with local codes, the NEC, and the CEC, as
applicable. See Figure 1, Page 4.
The improper use of Ozone generators, Chlorine genera-
tors, Copper/Silver Ion generators or certain chemicals
for water purification may cause damage to the fixture.
When such water purification methods are used, be sure
to monitor the water conditions. Subjecting the fixture to
extreme conditions or harsh environments may cause
corrosion and premature failure of the fixture or its
components.
Cutting hazard if light is improperly
installed. This light is for use only in commercial and
residential swimming pools and spas. It has not been
designed, tested, or approved for use in wave pools,
lazy rivers, or other waterpark features, and should not
be used in them. Use in any application other than a
swimming pool or spa may lead to damage to the light
and cuts to swimmers and will void the warranty. Sta-
Rite will not be responsible for any damages or injuries
due to misapplication of this light.
