PREFACE
The METEOR XP series of modern compact
flush-mount designed underwater pool light
with built-in driver is designed to use the latest
LED lighting technology.
The compact flush-mount designed casing
enables very simple installation to the
stainless-steel, concrete or liner/concrete pools
with suitable niches. The special connector
assembly enables very simple maintenance or
replacement during servicing period.
The METEOR XP series is available in
stainless steel casings. The lighting is available
in cool white, warm white, blue, green, red and
multi-color RGB or RGBW colors with 32 high-
power LEDs.
The single-color or multi-color versions allow
light control with dimming and changing of the
color of lighting manually or automatically
through the complete rainbow spectrum.
The most advanced electronic design with
built-in microprocessor enables network
connection and simple control of complete
group of lights.

PRECAUTIONS
•The underwater pool light has to be
installed and used in accordance with the
instructions of this manual only.
•The power supply has to be disconnected
before installation.
•The underwater pool light is recomended to
be installed around 0.2 m below the water
line for the best illumination and to avoid
over-heating.
•The optical window must be clear and not
covered by any kind of isolating or other
material.
•The optical window has to be cleaned with
a mild soap or detergent and lukewarm
water by using a soft cloth or sponge. Do
not use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners.

COMPONENTS AND CONNECTORS
(1) Optical window
Tempered glass optical window.
(2) Underwater pool light casing
Stainless steel casing incl. fixing plate with mounting holes and water cooling slots.
(3) Connector assembly
The 8-pole multi-core cable to connect the DC power supply and optional remote control or switch.
(4) Fixing screw
2 fixing screws to fix the underwater pool light into the suitable niche.

INSTALLATION
The underwater light kit consists of the following components:
•Underwater Light METEOR XP with connector assembly and connection cable
•2 x fixing screws M6x40
•Operating Instructions with Declaration of Conformity and Warranty conditions
The METEOR XP has to be fixed into the suitable niche on the pool wall under waterline.
Leave at least 2m of connection cable wrapped inside the niche for future maintenance and service.
When the installation is finished briefly test the underwater light prior to fill the pool with water.
The installation have to be realized by a qualified personnel.
Note:
•Avoid using the underwater pool light out of the water for more than 1 minute.
The underwater pool light is protected by a temperature sensor against over-heating.
When the temperature of the underwater pool light exceeds 85°C the underwater pool light
is automatically switched off.
Fixing
The underwater light has to be fixed with 2 screws M6x40 to the suitable niche.
Note:
•Do not overtighten the screws as this can result in fixing plate or niche damage.
Connection
The power supply has to be connected through the main switch (not included) with correct polarity
and protected by a fuse (not included). The power supply voltage has to be 12-24Vdc.
Note:
•The power supply has to be switched off before installation.
Earthing
The underwater pool light has to be earthed by using a pre-tinned green wire with a yellow stripe a
minimum of 8 AWG (8.36 mm2). The wire has to be connected to the rear side of suitable niche by
the help of prepared fixing screw M6 signed by earthing label.

Remote control connection
Single-color cool white (W), warm white (WW), blue (B), green (G) or red (R) models
To remotely turn-on and turn-off the underwater pool light the simple switch (not included) can be
used and connected to the CONTROL wires by a 2-pole signal cable (not included).
Note:
•If the remote control is not used at single-color models for normal operation the both
CONTROL wires have to be bridged and insulated or connected to the GND.
Multi-color (RGB, RGBW) models
To control the mode of lighting the simple key-switch (not included) has to be used and connected to
the CONTROL wires by the 2-pole signal cable (not included).

CONTROLS
Single-color cool white (W), warm white (WW), blue (B), green (G) or red (R) models
Remote control can be used to turn-on and turn-off the underwater pool light and to control the
luminosity.
Dimming
The dimming are enabled by using optional PWM dimmer LDU13.
DMX512 control
The network connection to control the lights with the standard DMX512 protocol is enabled by using
optional PWM dimmer LDU13 and optional LXU01 interface.
Multi-color (RGB, RGBW) models
Remote control has to be used to turn-on and turn-off the underwater pool light and to control the
mode of lighting and luminosity.
The multi-color underwater pool light can be controlled by using the momentary-switch.
When the light is turned-off the color or mode of lighting can be changed sequentially by pressing
the momentary switch for 2 seconds:

Turning on /off
Press the momentary switch shortly.
Changing the color or mode of lighting
When the light is turned-off press the momentary switch for 2 seconds.
Setting the Custom White Color
At the selected White Color Spectrum mode press the momentary switch shortly to turn the light off.
After that press the momentary switch for 5 seconds or until the light is switched to the selected white
color and then the White Color is set and selected.
Setting the Custom Color
At the selected (Rainbow) Color Spectrum mode press the momentary switch shortly to turn the light
off. After that press the momentary switch for 5 seconds or until the light is switched to the selected
color and then the Custom Color is set and selected.
Dimming

Set default
Press the momentary switch for min. 40 seconds or until the light is turned off.
Synchronization
When more than one multi-color underwater light is connected to the system the optional
Synchronization Unit LSU08 is recommended to synchronize the colors of lighting at the Rainbow
Color Spectrum mode of lighting. On the other case the colors of all installed lights would not be the
same after few minutes or hours of operation in the (Rainbow) Color Spectrum mode.
If the multi-color light is used only with one of the fixed color of lighting the synchronization is not
necessary.
DMX512 control
The built-in ASTEL protocol enables the network connection to control the lights with the standard
DMX512 protocol by using optional LXU01 interface.
