Vista Landscape Series 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.
WARNING: Debris must be kept clear from top and interior of ingrade fixtures. Excessive heat could occur that may create a fire hazard and/or harm the fixture
components. Specific attention must be made to never install ingrade fixtures in mulch, wood chips or other potentially ignitable materials. For installation
in potentially ignitable materials, such as mulch and wood chips, installer must use an above-grade mounted fixture. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY AND MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE FIXTURE AND/OR PROPERTY.
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.
PRECAUTION: Luminaire is not submersible; adequate drainage must be provided. It is recommended the luminaire be surrounded by 3" - 4" of pea gravel or
sand for proper drainage. Top of luminaire must be above grade, so rain and irrigation water will not accumulate for long periods of time.
IN-GRADE SOIL INSTALLATION:
1. To prevent electrical shock, disconnect transformer from electrical supply
before installation or service.
2. Dig hole approximately 10" diameter by 8" deep. This allows approximately
3" of pea gravel or sand to surround luminaire housing.
3. Strip (2) leads from luminaire pigtail wire. Using two (2) silicone filled safety
connectors (provided), connect leads from luminaire to electrical supply wire
leads.
NOTE: Luminaires are supplied with 36" of 18-2 cable pigtail for secure
connection to electrical supply cable. Wire is to be protected by routing in
close proximity to luminaire. Wiring shall be buried a maximum of 6 inches
(15.2 cm) in order to connect to 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.
CONCRETE POUR INSTALLATION:
1. To prevent electrical shock, disconnect transformer from electrical supply
before installation or service.
2. Dig hole approximately 10" diameter to a depth suitable to make top of
fixture flush to 1/8" above grade. Pea gravel or sand is recommended for
seating the luminaire housing to aid positioning.
3. Install JBCP-150 concrete mounting guard making sure the top edge of the
ring lines up with the top edge of the lens cover. Secure side bands to the
bottom of fixture with #10 screws provided. (Side bands of JBCP-150 may be
bent outward to adjust the fit of the top ring.)
4. Remove lamp assembly and wiring compartment cover, exposing conduit
entry holes.
5. Install conduit through 3/4" NPT holes in bottom of luminaire using Teflon
tape or other thread sealant. Using plug (provided), seal unused conduit entry
if required.
NOTE: UL listed flexible conduit is recommended for in and out connections to
ease fixture position and adjustment during installation.
6. Support luminaire in selected position using standard masonry procedures.
NOTE: When installing in concrete, JBCP-150 must be flush to 1/8" above
grade to promote water runoff.
7. Pull electrical supply wires (line in) through conduit and luminaire. Pull wires
long enough for manual connections with safety connectors (4" to 6" above the
top rim of luminaire). See fig. 3.
