The following describes how to install the IntelliBrite pool and spa white light
fixture. Read page 3 before starting the installation procedure
.
Be sure that the pool or spa meets the requirements of the current National
Electrical Code (N.E.C.) Article 680-22 and all local codes and ordinances. A
licensed or certified electrician must install the electrical system to meet or
exceed those requirements before the underwater light is installed. Some of the
requirements of the National Electrical Code which the pool’s electrical system
must meet are as follows:
BEFORE STARTING: The following steps 1-7 (page 7-8) describe the tasks that
must be completed by the electrician before the IntelliBrite light fixture is
installed. See Figure 1 diagram on page 7.
Note:
The pool or spa electrical system can be verified with a Pool and Spa
Electrical Qualification Test Kit. The test kit is available from Pentair Water Pool
and Spa
®
. The electrical system inspection using this kit must be performed by
trained and certified personnel.
N
ote: To be certain that the pool or spa
electrical system meets all applicable requirements, the electrician should
also consult the local building department. Use only Pentair Water Pool and
Spa wet niches to insure proper bonding and grounding connections.
