. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS:

This floodlamp has been designed to be used fully submerged underwater in fresh water swimming pools. It is
a Class III electric apparatus with very low safety voltage (12V with alternating current).
The floodlamp compiles with IPX8 degree of protection (resistance to penetration of dust, solid bodies and
humidity) at a nominal immersion depth of 2 m.
This floodlamp complies with international safety standards for lights, especially the EN 60598-2-18 standard:
LIGHTS PART 2: SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS SECTION 18 LIGHTS FOR SWIMMING POOLS AND SIMILAR
APPLICATIONS.
The manufacturer is not responsible in any circumstances for assembly, installation or start-up of any electric
components which have been inserted or handled at locations other than its own premises.
3. INSTALLATION:
• In order to clearly light a pool it is recommended lo install a 100W floodlamp every 25m² or 35 m² of water
surface. In swimming pools which are especially deep, a 100 W floodlamp is required for every 30 or 40 m³
of water volume.
• In order to prevent glare, the floodlamps should be installed so that they face away from the residence or
usual view of the swimming pool.
• In the event that lighting is used in training or competition pools, the floodlamps should be installed on the
sides to prevent glare on the swimmers.
• To avoid the need to empty the pool to change the lamp, we recommend that the floodlamp be installed in
areas which are accessible from the upper edge of the pool.
Prior to installation verify that the gland seal has been fully tightened.
The floodlamp should be placed on the wall of the pool at approximately 700 mm from the water surface (Fig. 3).
The method of fastening the crosshead mount to the pool wall varies depending on whether it is a floodlamp for
concrete pools (model 00346) or prefabricated pools (model 00361).
Concrete pool (MODEL 00346)
Place the crosshead mount of the flat floodlamp (nº 6) in the designated place. Mark the holes. Drill with a 6
Ø bit and insert the 4 fastening blocks.
Use four 4.8 x 25 screws to secure the crosshead mount to the wall (Fig. 1).
Place the conduit body (nº 5) in the upper left quadrant of the crosshead mount, in accordance with the mea-
surements shown in (Fig. 2).
Prefabricated pool (MODEL 00361)
Place the crosshead mount for the flat floodlamp (nº 6) in the designated area. Mark the holes. Drill with a 6
Ø drill bit.
Use the 4 M-6 x 35 screws with 4 O-rings to secure the crosshead mount to the inner wall of the swimming
pool. From the outer side of the swimming pool insert 4 butt joints and 4 washers with 4 nuts between the
crosshead and the liner (Fig. 1).
