General Notes and Safety
• The installaon of this permanent Hard Wire Kit is best done during the install of your umbrella.
• Roung the 20m Feed Wire safely and out of sight will require some preplanning.
• The wire must enter through the boom of the Umbrella Spigot and run up the inside of the Mast.
• For Concrete surfaces, ling or In-Ground Anchor installs, we recommend using a concealed conduit pipe
that enters through the surface plate and into the boom of the Spigot.
• Wooden decks with underneath access require the wire to be fed through a hole that aligns with the Spigot.
• The supplied Feed Wire cable can be laid underground in your garden.
• Take care not to run it together with 220V/110V AC cabling as this is not safe pracce.
• We do not recommend using the Hard Wire Kit where a portable base for the umbrella mount is used.
• The Installaon method is similar for both Shadowspec Unity™ and Shadowspec Serenity™ umbrellas.
Tip: Always Label cables where possible. This makes it much easier to do installs and nding faults later.
• We recommend consulng a cered electrician prior to installaon.
• Unplug the 12v AC/DC Adapter from the wall socket during install process or when not in use.
• Never install the 12v AC/DC Adapter in or near your UmbrellaMaintain at least a 2M distance.
• Only use the supplied 20m 12v DC Feed Cable into the umbrella.
• Ensure that the 12v AC/DC Adapter is plugged into AC power socket that has been installed by a cered
electrician and is protected from the outside elements.
• Do not cut or extend the AC Power Lead on the 12v AC/DC Adapter.
• Do not submerge the 12v AC/DC Adapter or any connecon point into water.
• Please take care to wire your umbrella light using the correct DC polarity: Do not mix the + and – wires as
this will damage your umbrella LED light.
• Ensure all wire connecons are secure and sealed with the supplied gel lled connectors.
• Do not connect any other 12V devices to the supplied 12v DC adapter as this will void your warranty.

• The 220V AC/DC Adaptor Input Plug should only be used with a xed wall socket that was installed by a
cered electrician.
• Please use a wall socket that is mounted in a dry and protected area or a socket that has a rain proof lid.
• Please wall mount the adaptor o the ground, ensuring that it remains dry.
• The Adaptor has an IP67 rang which makes it rain proof but not suitable for submersion into water.
• Keep in mind that the light will need to be controlled from the wall socket so access to a switch is important.
• Minimum install distance of 2 Meters and a maximum distance of 40 Meters from your umbrella.
• Please secure and conceal all wiring to ensure a reliable connecon for years to come.
• All in-ground or exposed extension connecons should be done using a waterproof enclosure.
Important Safety Note: Do not plug the adapter into the 220V AC mains socket unl all the wiring is completed
as this could cause a short circuit as you wire the umbrella.
WARNING: Never cut or extend the 220v Mains Input Cable. Using a third-party adaptor or any other 12v DC
source will void the warranty on all the umbrella LED light components.
Important
Ridged Wire is ALWAYS Posive
Connecon Point 1: 12v AC/DC Adapter

Red is always the posive wire.
Connecon Point 1: 12v AC/DC Adapter
1. Strip the Feed Cable back about 15mm to expose
the bare wires.
2. Twist ghtly together with the 12v DC output
wires from the included adaptor - please ensure to
get the polarity correct.
3. Tightly push the Gel Filled caps over the connecon - ensure no bare wires are exposed.
Secure the wires so there is no chance of the connecon coming apart when the wires are pulled.

WARNING: Always use the 12v DC to 9v DC converters to connect to the Main Spar LED wire. DO NOT
connect the 12V DC directly to the LED wire without using the supplied voltage converter.
Connecon Point 2: 12V DC Feed cable to 9V DC Converter
1. Remove the Top Cap from the Mast.
2. Feed the 12v Feed Cable from the Spigot (See Fig 1.) through
to the top of the Mast.
3. Secure the Feed Cable with supplied Cable Ties and place Mast
back on the Spigot.
4. Pull the Feed Cable taught and trim so you have 300mm of
Feed Cable protruding from the top of the Mast.
All connecons will be done outside the mast before being
returned to the top of the Mast.

5. Strip the Feed Cable back about 10mm to expose the bare wires.
6. Roll each wire p together. Li the 5-Way Connector tabs and insert the Feed Cable all the way into the
connector holes.
7. Strip the ends of the supplied 12v DC to 9v DC Converter back about 10mm to expose the bare wire.
8. Insert the Black and Red side of the Converter into the 5-Way Connector.
The Red Wire is posive and MUST be in the same 5-Way connector as the Ridged Feed Cable.
9. Repeat the process for each light you are connecng if you have more than one.
10. Double check each connector to ensure polaries and colours aren't mixed.

1. Locate the Main Spar LED Cable at the back of the Main Spar.
2. With care, pull the loose end out of the transport hole.
3. Connect the Red Wire from the 9v DC Output to the Red Wire of the LED Cable with Crimp Connector.
4. Connect the Yellow Wire from the 9v DC Output to the Black Wire of the LED Cable with Crimp Connector.
Ensure the cables are pushed all the way into the Crimp Connectors.
5. Using a pair of plyers - squeeze the coloured cap on the Crimp Connector down unl it is ush.
The Connector will splice through the individual wire sleeve so there is no need to strip the wires.
6. Repeat the process for each canopy installed.

2. Push any addional slack back into the Main Spar.
3. Repeat for each Canopy installed.
4. Test all cable connecons by carefuly pulling on them to ensure they are secure.
5. Double check all polarity across the system.
Red wires must only be connected to red wire
6. Return the Connecon Point 3 system to the inside of the top of the Mast.
7. Double check that all connecons inside the Mast are secure with no risk of bare wires touching each other
inside the Mast.
Ensure the Main Spar LED Cable ts into the Groove before returning the Top Cap
8. Use the supplied Cable Ties to secure the system.
9. Replace the Top Cap on the Mast.
Important: Connecng any third-party power source to the LED light will void the warranty.

Fault Suggested Soluons
The lights are not turning on when tesng • Double check that there is power at the mains
• Double check the Main Spar cable is plugged into the
LED Light
• Inspect all the connecons starng at connecon
point 1 all the way to 4
• Double Check Polarity on all connecons
The lights are not turning on aer previously
working
• Double check there is power at the mains
• Inspect all the connecons starng at connecon
point 1 all the way to 4
• Check for corrosion on connecon points
Not all lights are working (Shadowspec Unity) • Inspect the relevant connecons, starng with the
connecons closest to the light.
Connued issues • Failing the above, remove the LED Lens cover on the
Shadowhub and inspec the internal connecon to the
LED PCBA
