Laminar Jet | Installation and Operation Manual
ENGLISH
4.4 Twelve (12) Volt Transformer
Installation
The laminar jet with LED lights requires the use of a
120/12VAC-100 watt low voltage lighting transformer.
NOTE:
For optimum performance Zodiac Pool
Systems, Inc. recommends using one
transformer per 12-volt laminar jet. However,
it is possible to power up to 4 laminar jets with
one 200 watt transformer.
To ensure maximum safety, the transformer used to
power the laminar jet with LED lights must be one that
is listed by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory
(NRTL) for the application.
NOTE:
If the pool already has a low voltage transformer
powering the pool and/or spa lights, do not
use the same transformer to power the laminar
jet with LED lights. This is to ensure that the
laminar jet’s LED lights are only turned on when
the laminar jet pump is running.
Section 5. Laminar Jet with Fiber
Optic Module Installation (Use with
JLFBR Series)
5.1 Items Required
The tools and supplies necessary for installation of the
fiber optic module:
Tools
Utility knife or hot knife; Heat gun or
propane torch.
Cable
Each jet requires 100 to 150 strands of
fiber optic cable. Do not use more than
40 feet (12 m) of cable per nozzle as
light output will be diminished.
Illuminator
Use illuminator with sufficient capacity
of lighting effect intended.
Additional
Materials
Electrical tape; Silicon (RTV)
5.2 Installation
1. Remove 6 inches (15 cm) of the cable jacket.
2. Using black electrical tape, tightly tape over
the exposed fiber leaving approximately ½ inch
(13 mm) exposed fiber at the end of the cable. The
tape prevents the individual fibers from separating.
3. With a hot knife, cut the fiber optic cable so that
the cable end is a flat surface. For best results, heat
knife to cherry red.
NOTE:
Do not cut the fiber ends too close to the taped
edge. Leave a ¼ inch (6 mm) distance between
the cable end and the end of the taped edge.
This will prevent adhesive on the tape from
melting and getting on the ends of the fiber
optic strands.
4. Slide the completed fiber optic cable through
the Heyco
®
* waterproof fitting and up the tube
(located at the bottom of the jet) until the cable
bottoms out on the lens inside unit. Secure the fiber
by tightening the waterproof fitting.
*Heyco is a registered trademark of Heyco Products, Inc.
NOTE:
Allow at least four (4) feet (1.2 m) of extra fiber
optic cable in the deck canister to allow the
laminar jet to be easily removed.
5. Fill the electrical conduit between the opening and
the fiber optic cable with RTV silicon to prevent
water from entering the conduit. Let dry. The unit
is now ready for operation.
6. Install illuminator and attach fiber optic cable
according to instructions supplied with the
illuminator.
Section 6. Starting the System
6.1 Install Jet Assembly
1. Disconnect the pressure cap that is installed on the
flexible PVC hose.
NOTE:
The system should be pressure tested before
starting the system.
2. Flush water lines to clear debris. Lines must be clear
of debris before attaching the laminar jet assembly.
NOTE:
The finger screen is installed in the fitting
under the cap. Remove the finger screen when
flushing the line and reinstall the screen before
installing the laminar jet assembly.
3. Connect the nut on the flexible hose of the laminar
jet assembly and the threaded union of the flexible
hose attached to the deck jet canister.
6.2 Set up Jet
1. Place the jet assembly into the canister and align
the mounting brackets to the collar.
2. Ensure the flow adjustment valve is open by
turning it counter-clockwise until it stops with a
screw driver or a 1/2" (12.7 mm) socket wrench.
3. Turn on the water at a reduced rate and slowly fill
the unit. When the unit is filled, increase the water
supply until the jet stream reaches its intended target.
