Section Ii. Replacing Light Fixture In Existing Pool - Pentair Water SunBrite II Manual Del Propietario - Operador

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 has a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), and has an appropriately rated circuit breaker.
b. The Junction Box (or, for 12 volt models, the low voltage transformer) is located at least 8 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 are properly electrically bonded.
d. The wet niche is 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 is properly electrically bonded and grounded via the No. 8 AWG ground connector located at
the rear of the niche; see Figure 1.
The pool or spa electrical system can be verified with a Pool and Spa Electrical Qualification Test kit. The test kit is available from
Pentair Water Pool and Spa, Inc. 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 Water Pool and Spa
B. Replacing 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.
