All installer completed cable connections must be located outside of bodies of water, pond or
fountain. Take careful consideration of tidal shift if connections are completed under docks, or
near waterline.
WARNING: For your safety read and understand instructions before starting installation. Before
permanently wiring to branch circuit, turn off electricity at the fuse or circuit breaker box. Before
attempting any installation check your applicable electric code. This code sets the wiring standards and
should be carefully studied before starting.

Note: Stainless Steel clamps are 60 inches long and should provide enough length to wrap around a 12 inch square or 14 inch round piling.

- Page 7 Outdoor lighting projects typically have longer wiring and tend to be subjected to higher induced voltages, which increases the need for SPD installation. To prevent lightning damage to your equipment, Lumitec recommends installing a supplemental grounding system to the one found at the service point. The grounding system directs lightning-induced electrical current into the earth rather than allowing the surge to pass through power wires or field wires to your equipment.
- Page 8 A good grounding system should maintain a resistance of 10 ohms or less to ground. Ground resistance occurs when grounding system components, or the soil itself, oppose the flow of electricity into the earth. The higher the ground resistance (higher ohm readings), the higher the chance the surge will damage the equipment’s electronic components rather than be shunted to ground.
- Page 9 To use a single controller for Kraken underwater lights on multiple PSUs, the control signal orange wire (data) and black wire (ground) must be run to each light as shown in Figure 2. Lumitec strongly advises the use of optocouplers to isolate each PSU from the others in the system. This is recommended to lower the risk that nearby lightning strikes and electrical surges that could damage all interconnected systems if an isolation barrier is not provided.
