INSTALLING THE COLORVISION
The following describes how to install the ColorVision Light fixture in concrete/
gunite, fiberglass or vinyl liner.
BEFORE STARTING: The following instructions must be completed by the
electrician before the ColorVision light fixture is installed.
Be sure that the pool or spa meets the requirements of the current National Electrical
Code (NEC) 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 in
(10.16 cm) above ground level or 8 in (20.3 cm) above maximum water
level, whichever is higher. The Junction Box must be at least 48 in
(1.22 m) from the edge of the pool. See Figure 1 on page 6.
• To be certain that the pool or spa electrical system meets all applicable
requirements, the electrician should also consult the local building
department.
