Wiring Underwater Lights
CAUTION: A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must be provided for high voltage
pool/spa lights. Do not use a GFCI circuit breaker.
High/Low-Voltage Underwater Lights
The Mini-Wave PE4 Control Center comes equipped with one side knockout for installation of
the GFCI receptacle. (See Figure 3-5.)
Install a GFCI receptacle and connect the neutral and hot wire, from the circuit breaker, to the
LINE side of the GFCI. (See Figure 3-6.)
Connect the neutral (white) from the LOAD side of the GFCI to either the 120-Volt light (for
a 120VAC light connection) or the primary of the transformer (for a 12VAC light connection).
For a 12VAC light connection, finish by connecting the neutral wire from the secondary of the
transformer to the 12VAC light. (See Figure 3-6.)
Connect the hot (black) as follows from the LOAD side of the GFCI to the line side of the
appropriate relay. (See Figure 3-6.)
For a 120VAC light connection, connect the black wire from the LOAD side of the
appropriate relay directly to the light.
For a 12VAC light connection, connect the black wire from the LOAD side of the
appropriate relay to the primary of the transformer. Finish by connecting the black wire
from the secondary of the transformer to the 12VAC light.
Connect the ground (green) from the light to the grounding bar inside the Control Center.
