INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
CHANGING THE LAMP
REFER TO THE DIAGRAM ON THE FRONT OF THIS MANUAL FOR THE FOLLOWING
PROCEDURES
1) SEE OUR GENERAL INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR FIBER AND CONDUIT
INSTALLATION IN THE POOL. THIS MANUAL COVERS THE 6000 SERIES ILLUMINATOR
INSTALLATION ONLY.
2) CUT THE FIBER CONDUITS SO THEY WILL ENTER THE INSTALLATION BASE
APPROXIMATELY HALF WAY. CUT THE ELECTRICAL CONDUIT SO IT WILL PROTRUDE
PAST THE CONDUIT HOLE 1" OR LESS (FIG A.). PULL ALL FIBER OPTIC CABLES AT
LEAST 12" THROUGH THE TOP OF THE INSTALLATION BASE.
3) FOLLOW THE PORT ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES ON THE BACK OF THIS MANUAL.
4) PLACE THE CHASSIS ON THE INSTALLATION BASE. SECURE THE ILLUMINATOR
WITH THE TWO SCREWS SUPPLIED. SNAP THE PORT INTO THE CLIP ON THE
CHASSIS. MAKE SURE IT SEATS FIRMLY INTO THE CLIP (FIG B.).
5) MAKE THE ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS AS SHOWN ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE.
MAKE SURE NO WIRES INTERFERE WITH THE COOLING FAN OR COLOR WHEEL.
6) a) IF INSTALLING IN THE GROUND:
BACKFILL HALF WAY UP THE INSTALLATION BASE. ALLOW AMPLE HEIGHT FOR TOP
SOIL AND LANDSCAPING. DO NOT ALLOW THE VENTS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE
ILLUMINATOR TO BE BLOCKED. THIS WILL CAUSE THE ILLUMINATOR TO OVERHEAT
AND SHUT OFF.
b) IF SURFACE MOUNTING:
USE PROPER SECURING SCREWS FOR THE SURFACE TYPE YOU ARE ATTACHING
TO, USING THE 2 HOLES PROVIDED ON THE BASE. EXAMPLE: FOR CONCRETE, USE
PROPER CONCRETE SCREWS. FOR WOOD SURFACE, USE PROPER WOOD SCREWS
USE SWEEP ELLS OR HEAT BEND
FOR GENTLE RADIUS
ELECTRICAL CONDUIT HOLE
ELECTRIC CONDUIT SHOULD
PROTRUDE 1" OR LESS
FIBER CONDUIT HOLE
AT LEAST 12" OF FIBER
MUST BE PROTRUDING PAST HOLE

PORT ASSEMBLY/FIBER TERMINATION
A) Insure that the total fiber count of all fiber
tubings is 450 or less. If you have more than
450 individual fibers, you will need a second
illuminator. The maximum capacity of the
6004 series port is 450 fibers.
B) Insert the proper size tip into the port and
twist with pliers to lock (fig. 1).
C) Strip back all fiber casings no less than 4
inches (fig. 2). Take care not to nick the fibers.
D) Insert the bare fibers into the port so ALL
fibers protrude past the port tip (fig 3). Tighten
the port compression nut down on the fiber
casing (fig 4).
E) IMPORTANT: If the port tip is not completely
full, insert scrap individual fibers into the tip
until it is completely full (fig. 5). This will keep
the lit fibers perpendicular to the lamp, and
prevent the fibers from overheating.
F) Plug in the hot knife (p/n FS-118) and allow it
to heat up. Apply firm downward pressure on
the fibers, with the blade touching the port tip
at a slight angle (fig 6). Do not saw at the fibers.
Allow the heat of the knife to slowly trim the
fibers. Ease the pressure as the knife almost
completes the cut. Unplug the hot knife and
place it in a safe place to cool.
