(NEW POOL CONSTRUCTION - CANADA)
Be sure
the electrical system of your pool conforms with the following requirements of the
Canadian Electrical Code (CE), and all local codes and ordinances. A licensed or certified
electrician must install the electrical system to meet or exceed those requirements before
the light and (fixture-housing) is installed. Some of the CE requirements are listed below.
• 120 VAC and 12 VAC pool/spa lights must have a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI), and has an appropriately rated circuit breaker. See Figure 2, page 7 for
details.
• The GFCI or a transformer must be located at least 3 m or more from the edge of
the pool, see *NOTE and Figure 2 on page 7.
• The junction/deck box must be sealed to the conduit to prevent water from getting
into the box, see Figure 2 on page 7.
• The light fixture and all metal items within 3 m (10 ft) of the pool must be properly
electrically bonded.
• The niche must be properly installed so the pilot screw hole is at the 12 o'clock
position and that the center line of the Underwater Light's lens is at a maximum
depth of 600 mm below the surface of the water in the pool, see Figure 4 on
page 8.
• Be sure the niche is properly electrically bonded via the No. 6 AWG ground
connector located at the rear of the niche.
• Use only Pentair lighting fixtures in this niche to ensure proper bonding and
grounding connections.
• If non-metallic conduit is used, a No. 8 AWG bonding/grounding wire must be
installed through the conduit from the Junction Box to the bonding/grounding lug
inside the niche. Seal the wire/lug connection with a listed sealant such to protect
the connection from possible pool water corrosion. See Figure 4 on page 8.
