Electronic devices are not regular household waste. In accordance with Directive 2002/96/EC of
the European Parliament and Council of January 27, 2003 regarding electrical and old
electronic devices, they must be disposed of properly. Please drop these devices off at public
collection points provided for that purpose when you have finished using them.
In addition, the notes and information in the LuchsNT (27134)
assembly instructions apply.
1 Introduction
The LuchsNT spotlights is an independent lighting unit for illuminating swimming pools.
The LuchsNT lighting unit consists of the spotlights and control unit. It is available in
LED-white and RGB versions. The light intensity of the LED-white version can be
controlled via a 0-10V interface. The RGB colour light is controlled via the DMX
interface. The 2-wire technology makes it possible to operate RGB spotlights with only 2
wires. All spotlights are connected in parallel.
1.1 General Information
For your own safety and to protect the product, please read the
Operator's Manual carefully before starting with the installation and
settings!
All persons involved in setting up, commissioning, operating, maintaining, and repairing
this device must:
be appropriately qualified
meticulously observe the operator's manual
consider the operator's manual to be part of the product
keep the operator's manual in a safe place throughout the service life of the product
forward the operator's manual to each successive owner or user of the product
ensure that all additions that are received are inserted into the operator's manual
observe all legal requirements
1.2 Safety Instructions
Danger of lethal electrical current!
Electrical connections must only be made by a professional electrician in
accordance with VDE Regulation 0100. Observe the local requirements of
the responsible electrical power provider as well as standards and safety
requirements for electrical systems in swimming pools.
In case of damage caused by failure to observe the information provided in these
operator's manual, all claims under warranty shall be void. The manufacturer cannot
accept any liability for resulting consequential damages.
The LuchsNT spotlights must only be operated with the control unit
designed for it by the manufacturer.

Attention: The NT control unit is still capable of conducting dangerous voltages for a
short time after it is turned off.
The LuchsNT spotlights must only be operated under water.
The device must only be used when it is in flawless technical condition.
Eliminate malfunctions without delay.
Check the device and the electrical power line at regular intervals for damage.
The L/N/PE connection of the power supply voltage must be made in accordance with
VDE 0100 and VDE 0160.
A protective and isolating device must be provided for turning off the power supply.
Before beginning installation and service work, the power supply connection must be
switched off.
The device does not contain any components that require servicing by the user.
The housing cover may only be opened by the manufacturer. (guarantee seal)
In the event of a malfunction we recommend contacting the supplier.
Attention:
Failure to observe the safety instructions, for example touching live parts while the
device is open or handling the device in an improper manner is hazardous with
potentially fatal consequences.
If the guarantee seal is destroyed, the guarantee and manufacturer's warranty shall be
rendered null and void
If the values listed in the technical data are exceeded there is danger of the device
overheating, which can destroy the power supply and adversely affect electrical safety.

2 Functional features
2.1 LuchsNT RGB control unit interface
DMX interface colour light control
0-10V analog interface light intensity control 0-100 %
6 fixed colours
1 fixed colour gradient
Synchronisation bus for synchronous control of several control units
Control bus for optional functional enhancement
2.2 LuchsNT LED control unit interface
0-10V analog interface light intensity control 0-100 %
Synchronisation bus for synchronous control of several control units
Control bus for optional functional enhancement
2.3 Functional sequence after mains voltage ON
The system (control unit + spotlights) boots.
The system is ready for operation after 2 seconds. This means that after 2 seconds
the spotlights are lit, depending on activation and assignment of the interface.
2.4 Switching the spotlights ON / OFF
via START / STOP input

The input can be set to latching or momentarily via DIP switch 3
Delivery condition: latching with bridge
The connected buttons and switches must be potential-free
For a detailed functional description, see section 3.4
If the spotlights are OFF via the STOP input or control input Analog IN=0V or DMX
control input, this is detected by the device and after 60 seconds the output terminals
LED + and LED – are disconnected via a relay. If the spotlights are switched ON, a relay
switches the voltage back to the output terminal.

3.2 Terminal compartment disconnection
Safety instruction:
Two terminal compartment disconnects are provided for the connection
areas of the spotlights and the piezo buttons. They are designed to
prevent loose connecting lines from setting the piezo button under mains
voltage.
The terminal chamber disconnects are inserted and can be removed for easier wiring as
follows:
