The following describes how to install the IntelliBrite
the IntelliBrite Spa Light fixture. Read page 4 before starting the installation
procedure
.
BEFORE STARTING: The following steps 1-13 (page 4-5) describe the tasks
that must be completed by the electrician before the IntelliBrite light fixture
is installed. See Figure 1 diagram on page 7.
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:
• 120 VAC pool/spa lights must be connected to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI), with an appropriately rated circuit breaker. See Figure 1, page 7 for
details.
• The Junction Box (or, for 12 volt models, the low voltage transformer) shall be
located at least 8 in (20.3 cm) above the maximum water line and at least four 4
in (10.2 cm) above the ground level or pool deck whichever provides the greater
elevation. The junction box shall be no less than 4 ft (1.22 m) from the inside
wall of the pool, unless separated from the pool by a solid fence, wall or other
permanent barrier. See Figure 3 on page 9.
• Bond the niche-fixture housing to all other metallic items within 5 ft (1.53 m) of the
pool, using a No. 8 AWG bond wire. The Bond connection is located at the rear of
the niche, see Figure 3 on page 9.
• The wet niche is properly installed so the top edge of the underwater light's lens
is at least 18 in (45.7 cm) below the surface of the water in the pool, see Figure 3
on page 9. Also, the face ring PILOT SCREW must be at the 12 o'clock position.
• 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 to protect the
connection from possible pool water corrosion. See Figure 3 on page 9.
Note: To be certain that the pool or spa electrical system meets all applicable
requirements, the electrician should also consult the local building department.
Note: Use only Pentair wet niches to insure proper bonding and grounding connections.
