Pentair SPABRITE Manual Del Propietário página 4

Use only the special pilot screw provided with this underwater light. This screw mounts and electrically grounds the housing securely
to the mounting ring and wet niche. Failure to use the screw provided could create an electrical hazard which could result in death or
serious injury to pool users, installers or others due to electrical shock.
6. Fill the pool until the underwater light is completely submerged in water before operating the light for more than
10 seconds. Turn on main switch or circuit breaker, as well as the switch which operates the underwater light itself,
to check for proper operation.
Section II. Replacing light fixture in existing pool
This underwater light must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool serviceman in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical
hazard which could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers or others due to electrical shock, and may also
cause damage to property.
Always disconnect the power to the pool light at the circuit breaker before servicing the light. Failure to do so could result
in death or serious injury to serviceman, pool users or others due to electrical shock.
A. Before replacing the light fixture.
1. Verify that the pool meets the requirements of the current National Electrical Code 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's electrical
system must meet are as follows:
a. The lighting circuit must have a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), and must have an appropriately rated
circuit breaker.
b. The Junction Box (or, for 12 volt models, the low voltage transformer) must be located at least 8 inches above ground
or water level, at least four (4) inches above ground level, and at least 48 inches from the edge of the pool; see Figure 1.
c. The light fixture and all metal items within 5 feet of the pool must be properly electrically bonded.
d. The wet niche must be properly installed so that the top edge of the underwater light's lens is at least 18 inches
below the surface of the water in the pool; see Figure 1.
e. The wet niche must be properly electrically bonded and grounded via the No. 8 AWG ground connector located
at the rear of the niche; see Figure 1.

The electrical system inspection using this kit must be performed by trained and certified personnel.
2. To be certain that the pool's electrical system meets all applicable requirements, the electrician should also consult the
local building department.
3. Use only Pentair Aquatic System wet niches to insure proper bonding and grounding connections.
B. Replacing the light fixture after electrical system requirements are met.
Failure to bring the pool's electrical system up to code requirements before installing the underwater light will create an electrical hazard
which could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage
to property.
1. Turn off main electrical switch or circuit breaker, as well as the switch which operates the underwater light itself.
2. To remove the light assembly, remove the special pilot screw at top of the face ring, remove the light assembly from
the niche, and place the assembly on the deck.
