Make sure to
connect the
Ilumipod Inground
IP product to a power line
with the proper voltage
and frequency, as per the
specifications in this
manual or on the
product’s sticker.
The listed
current rating
indicates the
maximum
current draw during
normal operation.
Always connect
the Ilumipod
Inground IP
products to protected
circuits (CB or fuse) with
an appropriate electrical
ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.
Never connect an
Ilumipod Inground
IP product to a
rheostat (variable resistor)
or dimmer circuit, even if
the rheostat or dimmer
channel serves only as a
0 to 100% switch.
Make sure to use
power and signal
cables with the
indicated outer diameters
to ensure that the
corresponding gland nut
makes full contact with
the cable’s external
insulation. This is required
to keep the product’s IP67
rating when fully adjusted.
AC Power
Input Voltage and Frequency
The products in the Ilumipod Inground IP Series have an auto-ranging power supply with an
input voltage range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Power Consumption
To determine the power requirements for any of the Ilumipod Inground IP products see the
label affixed to the side of the product. Alternatively, you may refer to the corresponding
specifications chart in the
Technical Information
chapter of this manual.
Junction Box Wiring
The Ilumipod Inground IP products have an IP67 rated junction box where the power and signal
cables come into the unit. The cables access the junction box through individual (signal and
power) IP67 rated stainless steel gland nuts.
Make sure that the junction seal is clean before placing the cover back on. In addition, tighten
the gland nuts and the junction cover to prevent water from entering the junction box and
causing a short.
The figure below shows the connections in the junction box.
Power Wiring
To provide AC power for any of the Ilumipod Inground
IP products, you must run a single SJTW rated 3-
conductor cable (AWG18/3, 6~8 mm external diameter)
from the power distribution box into the installation
sleeve and the product’s junction box.
Strip the end of the AC power cable that will connect to
the junction box as indicated in the figure on the right.
