INTELLIBRITE
(NEW POOL CONSTRUCTION)
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 1-7 (page 7-8) describe the tasks
that must be completed by the electrician before the IntelliBrite light fixture
is installed. See Figure 1 diagram on page 7.
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 lighting circuit has a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for line
voltage models, and has an appropriately rated circuit breaker.
• The Junction Box (or, for 12 volt models, the low voltage transformer) is
located at least eight (8) inches (20.3 cm) above ground level and at least
48 inches (1.219 m) from the edge of the pool; see Figure 1 on page 7.
• The light fixture and all metal items within five (5) feet (1.524 m) of the
pool are properly electrically bonded.
• 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 on page 7.
• 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 on page 7.
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.
