Replacing The Globrite Light Assembly (In An Existing Pool Or Spa) - Pentair GLOBRITE Installation And User Manual

REPLACING THE GLOBRITE
Risk of Electrical Shock or Electrocution!
This underwater light must be installed by a licensed or certified
electrician or a qualified pool professional in accordance with
the current National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70 or the
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), CSA C22.1 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 service person, pool users or others
due to electrical shock.
THE GLOBRITE LIGHT IS A NON-SERVICEABLE LIGHT. THE
COMPLETE LIGHT ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED.
Be sure that the pool or spa meets the requirements of the current National Electrical
Code (N.E.C.) Article 680-22 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:
• The Junction Box and the low voltage transformer is located at least
4 (four) inches (10.16 cm) above ground level or eight (8) inches
(20.3 cm) above maximum water level, whichever is higher. The Junction
Box must be at least 48 inches (1.22 m) from the edge of the pool. See
Figure 2 on page 7.
• The GloBrite light niche must be properly installed so that the top edge
of the lens of the GloBrite light is at least 4 inches below (not more than
48 inches below in Canada) the surface of the water in the pool or spa.
Figure 2 on page 7.
• To be certain that the pool or spa electrical system meets all applicable
requirements, the electrician should also consult the local building
department.
