Electrical Installation Requirements (US)
licensed or certified electrician must install the electrical system to meet or exceed those requirements
before the light is installed. Some of the requirements of the National Electrical Code that must be met
are listed below.
•
120V lights MUST BE connected to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI),
with an appropriately rated circuit breaker. Refer to FIGURE 1 (US Installs) below.
•
The low-voltage transformer, and/or junction box, shall be located at least 8-inches
(20.3 cm) above the maximum water level and at least four 4-inches (10.2 cm)
above the ground level or pool/spa deck, whichever provides the greater elevation.
Refer to FIGURE 4 (US Installs) on page 5.
•
The junction box shall be no less than 4 feet (1.2 m) from the inside wall of the pool/
spa; unless separated from the pool/spa by a solid fence, wall or other permanent
barrier. Refer to FIGURE 4 (US Installs) on page 5.
•
Bond the light fixture to all other metallic items within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the pool/
spa, using a #8 AWG bond wire. The bonding lug is located at the rear of the niche.
Refer to FIGURE 4 (US Installs) on page 5.
•
If non-metallic conduit is used, a #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 bonding/grounding connection with a proper sealant to protect the
connection from potential corrosion. Refer to FIGURE 4 (US Installs) on page 5.
•
The niche must be installed so that the top edge of the light lens, when installed, is
at least 18-inches (45.7 cm) below the maximum water level. Refer to FIGURE 4
(US Installs) on page 5.
Connect three wires to the corresponding circuit wires in the Junction Box.
•
Black to Power
•
White to Common
•
Green to Ground
FOR LIGHT OPERATION, ONLY USE A SAFETY ISOLATION TRANSFORMER.
USE ONLY PENTAIR NICHES TO INSURE PROPER BONDING AND
GROUNDING CONNECTIONS.
