manufactured by Spa Electrics in Australia from only the highest quality materials. For more information about Spa Electrics & our products, please visit www.spaelectrics.com.au BEFORE YOU START: • ATOM cables can be shortened to suit individual installation requirements. Spa Electrics recommends all cabling is protected by conduit and that a junction box (or similar) is incorporated into pool cabling design to avoid siphoning. • Ensure that the lighting system is installed by a qualified person (e.g. registered pool builder and/or licensed electrician), in accordance with the most current edition and/or amendment of current NEC wiring code. • For safe and proper installation, ensure that only those parts supplied with the system are used. • Maximum installation depth for the ATOM light is 1.2ft (14”) below water line (to top of light). • The ATOM light must be correctly installed in or on the wall of the pool with the top of the lens no less than 4” below the nominal water level. • All lights should be mounted in a location that is easily accessible without the need for entering or lowering the pool water. • 20” cable has been supplied pre-assembled within niche assembly, and must remain stored within the Niche to ensure the light can be accessed above the waterline. [Maximum cable within niche = 24” (18AWG & 16AWG). See Page 16 for more information]. CLEANING • Only use warm water and a soft brush or cloth to clean ATOM lights. DO NOT use detergents or spirits as this can damage the light and void your warranty. USE • DO NOT operate light unless completely submerged in water. • Operating the light for at least 15 minutes every week is advised (all year round). • ATOM lights are suited for both domestic and commercial installations and can be operated continuously (24/7) if required. • Temperature range for installation, operation and servicing: +32oF ~ +104oF (0oC ~ +40oC) The ATOM light must only be used with a UL listed 12V AC Class 2 power supply or a power source intended for swimming pool use (not included). Minimum power source wattage requirement - 15 Watts per light. • DO NOT use electronic or switch-mode power supplies with ATOM lights. These power supplies will damage the light and void your product warranty. • Pool chemicals & PH levels: Due to the corrosive nature of unbalanced pool chemicals, Spa Electrics strongly recommend that your pool water is balanced prior to installing your pool lights or any plastic or stainless steel components, and tested weekly to maintain these levels. pH levels should be maintained between 7.2 – 7.6 at all times to ensure the longevity of these components. > Failure to do so can result in chemical damage to the light housing and pool fittings, including stainless steel components. > Please note: Lights or components found to have excessive chemical damage will not be covered under our manufacturer’s warranty policy. • This light contains no user-serviceable parts; opening the light will void the product warranty. IMPORTANT NOTE 5 READ THIS FIRST

• 2 5/8” ~ 2 3/4” Hole saw • Box cutter / knife • No. 2 Phillips screwdriver • Flat-blade screw driver (for light-head removal) IMPORTANT NOTES • The use of power tools during installation is not recommended as these devices can cause faults and damage to light components. • All installation steps should be carried out with manual tools only. • The enclosed images are for illustrative purposes only. Appearances of parts and assemblies may vary from the enclosed illustrations. • Please contact your reseller if you have any questions regarding the correct installation of this product. WINTERIZATION • Lights must be removed from pool wall and cable disconnected via plug connection & stored in a safe place. • Terminal Cover must be fitted to Plug Top prior to reinstalling into niche for winter. • Unless niche/conduit connection is adequately sealed (i.e. via included cable gland components), pool water level must be drained down 12” below the lowest light(s) position in pool wall. • All conduits should be checked for accumulated water and drained if required. • Consult your local pool professional for complete pool winterization process.

conduits may run to a common junction box or return directly to the power supply. In either case, it is imperative that the conduit extends above the water level of the pool at some point in order to prevent siphoning.

Manufacturers Statement This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two (2) conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruc- tions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interfer- ence to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different to that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help. Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless otherwise specified in the manual. Per the NEC, NFPA 70, Article 680.23 (B)(5), states that bonding shall not be required for luminaires that are listed for the application and have no non-current carrying metal parts. In addition, per Article 680.26 (B)(4), exception states that Listed low-volt- age lighting systems with non-metallic forming shells shall not require bonding. Therefore, luminaires that are located in the Class 2 circuit with polymeric/non-current carrying metal parts are not required to be grounded / bonded. Spa Electrics ATOM & QUANTUM (EM & WN9) luminaires with their plastic housing designs and plastic niches do not require grounding / bonding when operated within a Class 2 circuit supply. Spa Electrics ATOM & QUANTUM (EM & WN9) lights have also been determined to comply with the applicable requirements for wet-niche, LED type Swimming Pool and Spa Luminaires. 22 FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
