IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTION: POWER AND SIGNAL OUTPUT CONDUITS MUST BE NON-METALLIC
ATTENTION: CONDUITS POUR PUISSANCE DE SORTIE ET SORTIE SIGNAL DOIT ETRE NON METALLIQUE
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD – SWITCH DOES NOT TURN OFF INPUT POWER.
Failure to disconnect input power before servicing can lead to serious injury, or death.
Disconnect input power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before reconnecting power and operating
DANGER – FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS, INSTRUCTIONS, AND THE
OWNER’S MANUAL MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Basic safety precautions shall be observed when installing and operating the connected LED Water
Feature (CLSFJB / CLSFJB2) and/or other associated equipment:
1. A qualied electrician must install the CLSFJB in accordance with the requirements of NEC
ANSI/NFPA 70 and Article 680.
2. The CLSFJB must be mounted on a at vertical surface. The unit must be a minimum of 4
inches above the ground level, pool deck, or higher than 8 inches above the maximum pool
water level, whichever provides greatest elevation. The unit must be positioned a minimum of
4 feet (1.2 m) from the inside wall of the pool, unless separated from the pool by a solid fence,
wall, or other permanent barrier.
3. Do not exceed the maximum electrical ratings of the LED luminaire/s housed within this
CLSFJB / CLSFJB2, or components, wiring devices, and current carrying capacity of the
conductors.
4. This CLSFJB is intended to be used with low voltage damp rated luminaires that comply with
Article 680 of the National Electrical Code and does not require bonding due to their isolated
application design.
5. For supply connection, use only with Class 2 power units.
6. DO NOT CONNECT THIS 12V LIGHT DIRECTLY TO A 120VAC CIRCUIT - LIGHT WILL BE
DAMAGED.
7. This device should never operate equipment that could cause property damage, bodily injury,
or death should it be activated unexpectedly.
8. Use rain-tight or wet location hubs that comply with the requirements in the standard for
conduit, tubing, and cable ttings (UL514b) only.
9. The conduit hub is to be connected to the power input conduit before the hub is connected to
the enclosure.

Electrical Ratings
Do not exceed the maximum electrical output rating of each unit listed below.
Model Input
CLSFJB 12VAC, 60 Hz, 0.42A max
CLSFJB2 12VAC, 60 Hz, 0.42A max (x2)
Recommended Tools and Supplies
1. Circular hole saw for installation of 3/4” and or 1” non-metallic conduit depending on installation
requirements. Do not use spade bits for opening the conduit knockouts.
2. Application appropriate and approved ‘rain-tight’ or ‘wet location’ conduit hubs.
* Note: Every installation will have at least two (multi) conduits – one or more for low voltage
input power and one or more for ber optic cable.
3. Slotted screw driver, size #2
4. Phillips screw driver, size #2
5. Drill
6. #10 Screws appropriate for installing the product onto a wall (Installer supplied)
* Note: It is recommended to hand tighten all screws and screw fasteners inside the enclosure
and front cover until snug and secure. Be sure not to overtighten as permanent damage may
occur.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• TURN OFF INCOMING POWER BEFORE SERVICING EQUIPMENT.
• ALL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE WORK MUST BE PERFORMED BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
• VERIFY ALL ELECTRICAL RATINGS BEFORE INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.
• FOLLOW PROPER WIRING PRACTICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL NATIONAL AND
LOCAL REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.
Enclosure mounting
1. Locate the CLSFJB / CLSFJB2 in an appropriate area that meets the following requirements:
a. Must be mounted on a at vertical surface.
b. Must be a minimum of 4 inches above the ground level, pool deck, or higher than 8 inches
above the maximum pool water level, whichever provides greatest elevation.
c. Must be positioned a minimum of 4 feet (1.2 m) from the inside wall of the pool unless
separated from the pool by a solid fence, wall, or other permanent barrier.
For the unit to be adequately air cooled, allow a minimum gap of 9/32” (7.2mm) between the wall
and the back surface of the unit. The stand-off mounting tabs will make contact with the wall.

2. By hand open the enclosure by pulling the front cover off evenly by the top and bottom tabs.
Do not angle or ‘hinge’ the cover when removing or damage may occur. If you cannot open
the enclosure by hand, use a at blade screwdriver to twist open the nger tabs of the cover
at the top and bottom of the unit.
3. Securely install a wall material appropriate #10 screw, supplied by the installer, into the
location where the unit will be installed. The screw head must be 1 1/8” away from the wall to
allow the unit to be mounted correctly.
4. Place the mounting tab of the CLSFJB over the #10 screw and let it hang in place. Level the
unit and mark the remaining 2 mounting screw locations on the wall. Use 2 more material
appropriate #10 screws, supplied by the installer, to secure the unit to the wall through the
mounting holes on the back of the unit. Once the lower two screws are secure, tighten the top
screw to securely hold the upper portion of the enclosure in place.

Input / Low Voltage Supply Line
1. Bring the low voltage supply power conduit to one of the two, lower right or left side input
power conduit knockout locations. On CLSFJB2 models, one or two conduits may be used for
the low voltage luminaire input power depending on power source locations and if separated
lighting controls are required. DO NOT use any of the bottom conduit connection locations for
input power – these are reserved for the ber conduit (output) locations.
*Note: The wiring of the 12VAC input and ber cable/s are required to use separate conduits
and must not share an individual conduit. No conduit should contain both 12VAC input power
and ber optic cables.
2. Using a hole saw, open the knockouts for the size of the conduit (¾” or 1”) being installed.
3. Attach an approved ‘rain-tight’ or ‘wet location’ hub to the conduit. After the hub is attach
to the conduit, attached the hub to the enclosure.

Fiber Optic Cable Conduit Connection
1. The enclosure provides four (4) possible Fiber Optic cable conduit locations, two (2) on the
bottom left and two (2) on the bottom right portion of the enclosure.
2. Using a hole saw, open the knockout for the size of the conduit (¾” or 1”) being installed.
3. Bring the Fiber Optic cable conduits to the open conduit locations.
4. Attach an approved ‘Rain-tight’ or ‘wet location’ hub to the conduit rst, and then attach hub to
the enclosure.

Final Steps
1. Pull 12VAC cable into input power conduit and connect to
the appropriate power supply.
2. Pull in ber optic cable from the water feature and insert port
tip into the black compression tting - tighten until rmly
held in place. Do not overtighten as damage to the ber optic
cable may result.

3. In some cases there may
be excess ber optic
cable. DO NOT CUT
the cable, instead coil
the excess in as large of
a loop as possible and
place in the open area of
the enclosure. DO NOT
KINK. If more space is
required due to lots of
excess ber, it may be
helpful to add a larger
pull box in between the
conduit and CLSFJB or
CLSFJB2 to house the
excess ber.
4. Snap the ber optic light source (CLS-2xx) into
the metal bracket and adjust the position until
both of the locating tabs on the ends of bracket
capture the top and bottom of the CLS-2xx
housing. Use cable tie (zip-tie) to close and
tighten the open ends of the mounting bracket.
