Figure 1
Install fixture in a vertical pool or spa wall – not in floor. Failure to install the fixture properly could result in personal
injury and/or property damage.
Except when the fixture is installed in an area of the swimming pool that is not used for swimming and the lens is
adequately guarded to keep any person from contacting it, the fixture shall be installed in or on the wall of the pool with
the top of the lens not less then 18 in. below the normal water level of the pool; see Figure 1.
The junction box must be located:
•At least 4’ from the perimeter of the pool (unless separated from the pool by a solid fence, wall or other
permanent structure,
•At least 8” above maximum water level,
•At least 4” above the deck or ground level.
Junction boxes should be located off the walkway around the pool and given additional protection by installing them next
to a fence, building, or other permanent structure. Make sure that the installation is in compliance with local codes, and
the NEC.
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) and an appropriately rated circuit breaker shall be installed in the branch
circuit supplying power to fixtures so that there is no shock hazard during re-lamping.
Lamp Housing Installation
Glass breakage hazard. Do not push off from the poolside against the light.
NOTE: For the J400C and J400AS color versions 4 wires must be supplied to the junction box
from the power supply.
Light Fixture Installation
1. Before installing light fixture, make sure power to light is off.
2. Feed cord through niche and conduit, while light fixture is on deck area right above the niche. Feed cord to
junction box leaving enough cord, about 3’ to allow fixture to be placed on deck to allow relamping.

Rev.E • 08/04/04 - 4 - P/N 75-15046-PM
3. Make connections in the junction box (see Figure 2).
NOTE: The Auto Sync color wheel control wires must all be operated by one switch or relay for the synchronization to
work.
4. Insert cord into the niche and place the lamp housing in the niche. Be sure that the locator tab on the bottom of
the lamp housing is in the notch at the bottom of the niche.
5. Insert the top screw into top hole on niche and tighten.
MAINTENANCE
Hazardous voltage.
Electrical shock hazard. Before removing fixture from pool wall, ALWAYS TURN OFF THE POWER
at the breaker. Installation and maintenance of this circuit, the light, light niche, and any other accessories attached to this
circuit must be performed by a licensed electrician. The complete electrical system must be installed, tested, and
approved by a licensed electrician before it is placed in operation.

that the lamp housing is clean, dry, and free of all traces of moisture, before sealing the fixture.
6. Insert cord into niche and place the lamp housing back in the niche. Be sure to align the locator tab at the bottom
of the lamp housing with the notch in the bottom of the niche.

This fixture must be properly installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local
codes and ordinances by a certified or licensed Electrician. Failure to do so may result in serious injury to
occupants, installers, or cause property damage due to the resulting electrical hazards. Read and follow all
instructions.

Control Options for Jazz models J400C.
NOTE: Metal Halide is not dimmable!
A. Switch Controlled.
1. The J400C Jazz color light versions must be controlled with two switches. The J400C have a 4th wire for color
wheel control, to start and stop the color wheel.
2. For J400AS Auto Sync installations (multiple lights synchronized to change color at the same time) use the
appropriate number of power switches. Each JAZZ light has a run current of 2.0 amps. Only one switch is
required for color wheel control. All color wheel control wires for Auto Sync units must be run to one switch.
B. Jandy RS Controlled or comparable control system.
1. The J400C Jazz color version requires two NON -Dimming relays. One relay for the lamp and
one relay for color wheel control.
2. For J400AS JAZZ Auto Sync installations (multiple lights synchronized to change color at the
same time) use the appropriate number of power NON-Dimming power relays. Only one
NON-Dimming relay is required for color wheel control. All color wheel control wires for
Auto Sync units are run to one common relay.
C. Fiberstars RM-400 Wireless Remote Control (Maximum 2 units per RM-400)
D. SPECIAL NOTE FOR X-10 CONTROL
The lowest possible signal that can make a module respond properly is 150mV. Please refer to
the X-10 installation manual. Contact X10PRO for troubleshooting operation.
J400AS Auto Sync Operation
A. Before operating, make sure both the power and color wheel switches are in the off position. (If the color wheel
switch is on when the power switch is activated the JAZZ units will not sync.)
1. Switch the power on. (It will take 2-3 minutes for the Metal Halide lamp to come to its full level of brightness.)
The Auto Sync units color wheels will rotate to their home position on White. This action takes about 15
seconds.
2. Switch on the color wheels. The JAZZ AS units are now in sync.
3. When shutting down the system always turn the color wheels off. This will allow the color wheels to reset to
their home position the next time the lights are turned on.
