Vista 5275 Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE ONLY WITH LOW VOLTAGE LANDSCAPE POWER UNITS THAT DO NOT EXCEED 25 AMPS, 15 VOLT MAXIMUM.
WARNING: Luminaires must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes.
Failure to do so will void the warranty and may result in serious injury and/or damage to the luminaire.
SAFETY WARNING: Luminaire can become very hot depending on lamp wattage used. Lens and metal around
lamp can become hot enough to blister hands. Particular care should be taken not to locate luminaires where
small children can reach them if high wattage lamps are used.
LUMINAIRES ARE NOT TO BE INSTALLED WITHIN 10 FT. (3.05M) OF A POOL OR SPA. SECONDARY CABLE IS NOT TO
BE BURIED MORE THAN 6". WHEN USING MULTIPLE LUMINAIRES, LOAD IS NOT TO EXCEED THE TOTAL WATTS OF
TRANSFORMER RATING. DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS ON POWER UNITS.
NOTE: Always use UL recognized wire connectors for connections.
NOTE: Save these instructions for future reference.
LUMINAIRE IS UL LISTED FOR BELOW GRADE INSTALLATION ONLY.
In-Grade Soil Installation:
LUMINAIRE MOUNTING:
PRECAUTION: Luminaire is not submersible and adequate
drainage must be provided during installation. It is
recommended that the luminaire be surrounded by 3" to
4" of pea gravel or sand to assure proper drainage. Top of
luminaire must be above grade so rain and irrigation water
can not accumulate for long periods of time.
1. To prevent electrical shock, disconnect transformer from
electrical supply before installation or service.
Concrete Pour Installation:
NOTE: Due to the temperature requirements in the wiring compartment, UL listed THHN stranded copper electical wire is recomended for
electrical supply wires.

2. Dig hole approximately 10" diameter by 8" deep. This
allows approximately 3" of pea gravel or sand to surround
the luminaire housing.
3. Strip the (2) leads from the luminaire pigtail wire. Using
the two (2) silicone filled safety connectors (provided),
connect the leads from the luminaire to the electrical
supply wire leads.
NOTE: Luminaires are supplied with 36" of 18-2 cable pigtail
for secure connection to the electrical supply cable. The
wire is to be protected by routing in close proximity to the
luminaire. The wiring shall be buried a maximum of 6
inches (15.2 cm) in order to connect to the electrical
supply wire.
4. Install luminaire in hole and backfill hole after installation
with pea gravel or sand.
5. Provide power to luminaire and check for proper
operation.
LED FIXTURE INTALLATIONS:
For each low-voltage LED luminaire, the Vista-designed
electronic driver ensures the LED operates at the intended
Lumen output while receiving voltage as low as 6, and
as high as 15 VAC for balanced lumen output from the
first fixture to the last, with no voltage drop issues to affect
your installation. Also, instant-start functionality with full
color, 100% light, and cold-start capability down to -40
degrees Celsius.
NOTE: The operating voltage range for LED fixtures is
6-15V AC. Exceeding the maximum voltage (15V) could
result in damage to internal components and void the
manufacturer warranty.
