READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
I. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To prevent electrocution and/or death make sure power is off at the breaker.
Avoid touching/installing the M4 controller box during electrical storms. Death
or serious injury may result due to lightning surges through the system.
Be sure to check local electrical codes for grounding electrical boxes via
the approved method (internal conduit ground, external box ground wire to
grounding rod, etc.)
Use approved conduit routed by approved methods to conduit fittings on the
box.
For DMX based units, do not install data cables in the same conduit as power
cables to prevent communication problems.
Be sure the mounting surface is able to support the load of the controller. Use
all four mounting holes to secure the controller.
There are no customer serviceable components inside the M4 controller. Only
qualified electricians should open the box for installation of the power and LED
accessories connections. All connections should enter through an approved
conduit method.
LED accessories are low voltage and should never be electrically connected
to any power source other than the appropriate M4 controller connector (J5
to J8). Wires must be connected properly to avoid permanently damaging the
LED accessory.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
The light fixture must be installed in
or on a wall of the pool with the top
of the lens opening not less than 4
inches (10.16cm) below the normal
water level of the pool 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 prevent any
person from contacting it.
STEP 2
Snake the 4-conductor electric
cord through the conduit outlet
of the wall fitting, into the conduit
and up to the M4 controller. DO
NOT CUT EXCESS CORD. Leave
adequate cord in the conduit (Do
NOT wrap cord around fixture) so
that fixture will be able to be raised
to deck if required. Cut off extra
cord after, allowing for service
and length of run to box. Pull the
fixture snug to the wall fitting.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
II. MOUNTING
Select a mounting location so that the bottom
surface of the enclosure will be at least twelve
(12”) inches above the ground (See FIGURE 1).
Be sure to provide enough clearance below the
box to route the power, communications, and
LED accessory conduits as desired.
Place the controller at the location desired and
mark the location of the upper two mounting
holes.
Drill holes as appropriate (wood, masonry block,
brick, etc.) for the mounting hardware. Be sure to use a mounting method that
can withstand the weight of the controller and the attached conduits.
Temporarily secure the box to the mounting surface using the method selected.
Mark the position of the lower two holes, remove the box, drill the lower two
holes, and prepare the lower mounting locations.
Secure the four mounting screws or bolts to complete the mounting of the M4
controller.
III. CONDUIT AND GROUND CONNECTIONS
1. After selecting the desired conduit
size (½” or ¾”), carefully remove
the appropriate “knock outs” in the
bottom of the enclosure while being
careful not to touch the PCB (Print-
ed Circuit Board).
2. Install the power, communication,
and LED accessory conduit fittings
as desired to the enclosure (see
FIGURE 2).
3. Pull cables through to the ends
of the conduit. Leave extra cable
length to allow preparation and in-
stallation of the wires.

4. Install the ends of the conduit to the enclosure after routing the excess wire length
into the enclosure at the appropriate locations (see FIGURE 2)
5. If required by the local electrical codes or as desired, install a ground wire directly to
the enclosure using the external ground connection provided (not shown).
IV. INTERNAL WIRING
A/C Connections
Locate the power pig-tail provided with the M4 controller.
It will be located under the power supply and will consist
of one black (120 VAC), one white (neutral), and one green
(safety ground) wire.
Locate the incoming power wires from the conduit.
Trim excess lengths as desired and strip back approxi-
mately 3/8” of the insulation from all wires.
Twist the black wire of the M4 controller with the incoming
“120 VAC” wire. Install a wire nut or crimp using an ap-
proved insulated method (see FIGURE 3a).

leD aCCessory ConneCTions
Twist the white wire of the M4 controller with the incoming “neutral” (not the ground)
wire. Secure as in “step (4)” (see FIGURE 3a).
Repeat for the green ground wire and the incoming ground wire (see FIGURE 3a).
Carefully tuck the wires into the area below the power supply while being careful
that the wires do not lay against the internal components of the power supply.
If possible, verify a grounding path exists between the incoming service ground wire
and the case of the M4 controller. If this is not possible, double check the ground
connection between the crimp and/or wire nut connection and the case of the M4
controller.
V. LED ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS (SaVi Notes or X-Stream LED Modules)
Locate the incoming cable for fixture #1 (see FIGURE 2). This cable will be at-
tached to terminal block J5 on the PCB. Trim excess cable leaving no more than six
(6) inches protruding from the conduit.
Carefully remove two (2) inches of insulation from the cable (a box cutter set to pro-
trude less than 1/8” is good for this purpose). Cut from the desired removal location
towards the cut end of the cable to prevent damaging the internal wires.
Separate the insulation along the cut path and fold it back. Using cutters remove
the excess cable insulation. Only the four internal wires should be remaining (red,
green, blue, and a fourth conductor - usually black).
Using the wire stripper, remove 1/8 to 3/16” of insulation from each of the four
wires.
The wires will be installed as shown in FIGURE 3b below.
Insert each wire into the appropriate terminal block location. Using a small flat
blade screwdriver, tighten each screw of the terminal block until you feel it com-
press the wire and become difficult to turn (approximately 3.5 in-lbs).
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Carefully pull on the wire to verify it is secure.

7. Repeat for the remaining three wires of the cable (see FIGURE 3b). Tuck the excess
cable out of the way for the remaining steps.
8. Repeat steps 2-7 for fixture #2 using the appropriate conduit input for location #2
(usually the back most to the right side) and J6 of the PCB (see FIGURE 3b).
9. Repeat steps 2-7 for fixture #4 (it helps to install #4 before #3). Usually this will be
the front most conduit input to the right. Connect fixture #4 to J8 of the PCB (see
FIGURE 3b).
10. Repeat steps 2-7 for fixture #3. Connect fixture #3 to J7 (bottom right) of the PCB
(see FIGURE 3b).
VI. DMX COMMUNICATION BUS CONNECTIONS (ON DMX UNITS)
Some M4 controllers use an optional serial communications bus (DMX bus) to commu-
nicate with a master controller. Some installations only require an incoming cable, while
other installations will require an input, as well as an output cable (proceeding on to the
next receiver/controller). This section details how to attach those connections.
Determine if the installation uses an input, or both an input and an output DMX con-
nection. An additional output connection can be added in the future if desired.
Locate the incoming DMX communication cable (see FIGURE 2). This cable will be
attached to terminal block J3 on the PCB. Trim excess cable leaving no more than
four (4) inches protruding from the conduit.
Carefully remove one and one-half (1-1/2) inches of insulation from the cable. The
cable is a twisted shielded pair type, so be careful to not damage the shield or the
internal wires.
Locate the actual shield “cable” within the overall “shield” (see FIGURE 3d) and
separate it from the individual shield wires. Carefully cut off and remove the shield
wires but NOT the small shield cable (see FIGURE 3d).
Using the wire stripper, remove 1/8 to 3/16” of insulation from each of the remaining
two wires.

Note: Before cutting the cables for fixtures #3 & #4 (steps 9-10), verify the
desired internal routing location to J7 & J8. Be sure to leave enough cable to
reach the appropriate terminal block.
Note: Using an adhesive backed, tie wrap mount helps locating the cables
for fixture #3 after tucking the cable for #4 along the right wall.
