THANKS
We at Kasco Marine, Inc. would like to both thank
and congratulate you on your purchase of the LED
Light Kit. This kit will illuminate your fountain for a
beautiful display. We thank you for choosing Kasco
for your fountain and aeration needs and want you to
be completely satised with your purchase.
Important Safety
Please read and follow these extremely important
safety and handling instructions for your Kasco
equipment. Following these instructions will help
ensure your safety and the quality performance of your
equipment.
• Under NO circumstances should anyone enter
the water with the electrical equipment plugged
in and/or in operation. All Kasco equipment is
designed and built for use in water, and control
panels are available with GFCI protection.
However, it is NEVER recommended to enter the
water with the equipment in operation.
• Kasco’s Light Kit is intended for use with a Listed
control panel having a GFCI protected receptacle,
or eld wiring terminals and disconnect switch,
or a timer with a disconnect for use with a GFCI
receptacle. They are intended to be mounted on
a oating fountain or aerator for use in a natural
or man-made body of water to comply with NEC
Article 682.
• Kasco’s Light Kit has not been evaluated for use in
swimming pools, spas or stationary fountains.
• The power connection for the light kit is 120Vac
and MUST be plugged into a GFCI protected
receptacle or GFCI protected eld terminal
connections.
• Caution should be used when dealing with any
electrical and/or moving equipment.
• NEVER run the unit out of water. It could create a
dangerous situation for the operator.
• Extreme caution should be used around water,
especially cold water, as in Spring, Fall, and
Winter, which poses a hazard itself.
• NEVER lift or drag the fountain or light kit by the
power cords. If you need to pull the unit to the
side of the pond, use the anchoring ropes.
• Do not use waders in ponds/lakes that are deep,
with drop-offs, drastic slopes, or soft bottom
material.
• Do not use a canoe or boat that tips easily during
installation
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, be certain
the light kit is connected to the GFCI protected
lighting circuit of your control panel. For
more information regarding your control panel
instructions, refer to your fountain owner’s manual
or download control panel wiring diagrams from
http://kascomarine.com/instructions.html. A
control panel must be installed a minimum of 5
feet (3m in Canada) from the body of water unless
separated from the body of water by a fence, wall,
or other permanent barrier that will make the unit
inaccessible to persons in the water.
General Instructions
INSPECT THE SHIPMENT
Immediately inspect this shipment for any visible
damages. Also cross reference the “Parts Included”
section to check for part shortages. Shortages should
be reported immediately to your Kasco Marine

LED8012 Assembly Instructions
For ease of assembly, make sure the Aerating Fountain
is completely assembled. Place the assembly upright.
1. Unbundle the 8 puck light kit. Unpeel the back-
ing from one of the dual lock squares and place on the
back of one of the puck lights. (See Fig 1.) Repeat
this on the other 7 puck light xtures.

3
Fig 3
Fig 4
4. Cable tie the main power cord after the junction
box to the opposite side of the oat where you cable
tied the fountain power cord. This will help provide
strain relief to junction box and puck lights if the cord
is accidentally pulled. (Fig 5)
Fig 5
Fig.1
Mounting to Fountain model 2400SF (xStream)
2. There are 8 circular indents on the oat of the
2400SF xStream fountain. Make sure these areas are
clean, free of debris, and dry. Remove the backing
from one of the dual lock squares and stick to the
bottom of one of the indents (See Fig. 2). Repeat to
the other 7 indents of the oat.
Fig 2
3. Place the puck light that has the power cord leading
to the junction box in the indent on the oat that has a
notch for power cords. This would be the same area
where the power cord for the fountain is located. Push
down gently until the puck light snaps in place (Fig 3).
Place the other puck lights in the oat and gently snap
them in place (Fig 4).

WINTER STORAGE: In regions where there is signicant
freezing in the wintertime, the fountain and light kit should
be removed from the water to protect them from the
expansion pressure of the ice. In many areas, fountains
will keep some amount of ice open through the winter.
However, when the water is thrust into the air, it is exposed
to the colder air temperatures longer and can actually make
ice thicker on the pond/lake. Storage over winter is best in
a location that is out of the sun and cool, but above 32° F.
CLEANING: Fountains and light kits should be removed
from the water at least once per year (at the end of the
season in cold climates) to clean the exterior of the system,
especially the stainless steel motor housing (can) and light
xtures. The motor housing and light xture surfaces
dissipate heat into the water and any algae, calcium, etc.
build-up will become an insulator that blocks heat transfer.
In warmer regions it is recommended that the motor is
removed and cleaned at least two to three times per year
depending on conditions. In most cases a power washer
will be sufcient if the unit and algae are still wet. Also
make sure the lens of the light xtures is clean to ensure the
brightest light possible.
LIGHT PUCK REPLACEMENT: The LED puck lights
are sealed and do not require any maintenance other than
cleaning. If a kit fails to operate it can be removed. Only
perform this removal/replacement with all equipment
disconnected from the power source.
Any required repairs need to be performed by Kasco
Marine. Any alterations or changes made to Kasco units
by an unauthorized source will void the warranty. This
includes tampering with the unit, power cord, and/or
control box. Please contact Kasco Marine, Inc. at
715-262-4488
or [email protected].
5. Upon installation of the assembled unit, connect
your LED light kit to your eld installed GFCI pro-
tected outlet and timer.
Additional Color or Replacement Kits
If you wish to add a different color or need a
replacement kit, these part numbers will include the
8 puck light assembly with 3’ cord. They will not
include the junction box or main power cord leading
to the control panel. The 8 puck light assembly

Maintenance Recommendations
• Under No Circumstances should anyone enter the
water while a fountain is operating.
• Please keep the original box for maintenance shipping.
The following maintenance procedures can be utilized to
ensure many years of quality performance from your Kasco
Fountain and Light Kit and reduce the need for more costly
repair work.
PROPER INSTALLATION: Proper installation of Kasco
equipment will include a power source with ground fault
protection. For Fountain models, Kasco provided control
panels included with the unit have built-in ground fault
protection. Ground fault interrupters are a safety feature
that can also alert you to electrical leaks in the equipment.
If you have repeat, consistent trips of the ground fault
device, the equipment should be disconnected and removed
from the water. The power cord should be inspected for
damage and you should contact your distributor, or call
Kasco Marine at 715-262-4488 for further instructions or
email Kasco at [email protected].
OBSERVATION: Operating equipment should be observed
on a regular basis (daily, if possible) for any reduction
or variation in performance. If a change in performance
is observed, the equipment should be disconnected from
power and inspected.

Troubleshooting Tips
Troubleshooting tips - light kit
Problem Possible Caus
e
Likely Remed
y
Power is off or disconnected
Ensure control panel is connected to the electrical circuit. Verify circuit breakers, timers, and/or
interlock switches are turned on and functional. Refer to your owners manual that was provided with
the fountian.
Not dark enough for photo eye
to activate
C-25 control panel:
The control panel has a photo eye on the left side of the enclosure exterior. This photo eye measures
ambient light. To activate, the photo eye must not measure any ambient light for at least several
minutes. Also, the C-25 timer must be turned on (fountain operating) to allow the light circuit to
energize. Covering the photo eye with black electrical tape will activate the photo eye for testing.
GFCI is tripped
C-25 control panel:
Reset the GFCI. If the GFCI does not reset it could be a ground fault in the fountain wiring, or the light
kit wiring. Unplug both the fountain and light kit and reset the GFCI. If it resets, plug fountain then
light kit back in and see which one trips the GFCI. If the GFCI does not reset with both unplugged,
then the GFCI may be defective.
Dirty lights
Turn of power to the control panel and disconnect power cords to the fountain and the light kit.
Bring the fountain to the shore and inspect the light lenses. Over time, algae growth and hard water
deposits on the lenses can block light output. Clean the lenses with a soft brush and the light should
be bright again.
LED emitters out
The 8 puck lights have a total of 48 led emitters (6 per puck) to provide an overlapping sphere of
illumination. Over time, you may see a few of the led emitters stop working. If this occurs, the light
kit will continue to work without a noticeable difference in light output. If you have more than a few
emitters failing to illuminate, and it impacts the illumination of your fountain, the 8 puck light
assembly may need to be replaced.
The following is provided to help diagnose a probable source of trouble. It is a guideline only and may not show all causes for all problems. For additional
troubleshooting help contact your local distributor or visit www.kascomarine.com for additional help.
NOTE: you may need to refer to your owners manual that was provided with your fountain for additional control panel settings and adjustments.

Replacing 8 Puck Lights
If you have purchased a replacement or additional color
kits, you will need to remove the 8 puck lights from the
junction box in order to switch the lights.
1. Remove the puck lights from the oat by grabbing the
tabs of the pucks and lift using a peeling motion.
2. Unscrew (counterclockwise) the underwater cord
connector on the junction box.
3. Make sure an orange oring is installed on the cable of
the new 8 puck kit you are attaching to the junction box.

4. See assembly instructions for attaching the new 8 puck
kit to the oat. If you removed the cable tie strain relief,
make sure you cable tie the main power cord after the
junction box again.
