Installation
C-Splash 2 submersible, color-changing LED fixtures are designed to be installed in
fresh or salt water to a depth of 15 ft (4.6 m). When using in fountains, basins, or
other man-made water-based environments, make sure that the mounting locations
are dry before installing, addressing, and testing your fixtures. C-Splash 2 fixtures are
not for use in human-occupied installations such as swimming pools and spas.
Owner / User Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the contractor, installer, purchaser, owner, and user to
install, maintain, and operate the C-Splash 2 fixture in such a manner as to comply
with all applicable codes, state and local laws, ordinances, and regulations. Consult
with the appropriate electrical inspector to ensure compliance.
Installing in Wet or Damp Locations
When installing in wet or damp locations, you must seal all junction boxes and power
/ data supplies with electronics-grade RTV silicone sealant so that water or moisture
cannot enter or accumulate in wiring compartments, cables, fixtures, or other electrical
parts. You must use suitable submersible junction boxes when installing under water.
Additionally, you must use gaskets, clamps, and other parts required for installation to
comply with all applicable local and national codes.
Create a Lighting Design Plan
1. Determine the appropriate location of each power / data supply in relation to the
fixtures, and of the fixtures in relation to each other. Refer to the power / data
supply’s Installation Instructions or Product Guide for guidelines on configuring
and positioning the power / data supply in relation to the controller.
With the native 60 ft (18.3 m) Leader Cable supplied with each fixture, you can
connect up to six C-Splash 2 fixtures to each PDS-150e, or up to two fixtures to
each PDS-60. Using 18 AWG, 4-conductor stranded copper wire, you can extend
the cable for each individual fixture to a maximum length of 150 ft (45.7 m), as
long as the total cable length for each power / data supply does not exceed 400 ft
(121.9 m).
C-Splash 2 fixtures can be submerged or partially submerged, and can be
installed in both fresh water and salt water. The maximum submersion depth is
15 ft (4.6 m).
2. On an architectural diagram or other diagram that shows the physical layout of
the installation, identify the locations of all switches, controllers, power supplies,
fixtures, and cables.
3. Each C-Splash 2 fixture comes pre-programmed with a unique serial number. As
you unpack the fixtures, record the serial numbers in a layout grid (typically a
spreadsheet or list) for easy reference and light addressing.
4. Assign each fixture to a position in the lighting design plan.
5. To streamline installation and aid in light show programming, you can affix a
weatherproof label identifying the order or placement in the installation to an
inconspicuous location on each light fixture’s housing.
Start the Installation
1. Install all power / data supplies, including any interfaces with controllers.
2. Ensure that the number of free power / data supply power ports is adequate.
For complete instructions on how to wire the
power / data supply, refer to the specific power /
data supply’s Installation Instructions. For sample
