CONTENTS

Congratulations on your purchase of the ATOM underwater lighting system. All ATOM lights are
manufactured by Spa Electrics in Australia from only the highest quality materials. For more
information about Spa Electrics & our products, please visit www.spaelectrics.com.au
BEFORE YOU START:
• ATOM cables can be shortened to suit individual installation requirements. Spa Electrics
recommends all cabling is protected by conduit and that a junction box (or similar) is
incorporated into pool cabling design to avoid siphoning.
• Ensure that the lighting system is installed by a qualified person (e.g. registered pool builder
and/or licensed electrician), in accordance with the most current edition and/or amendment of
current AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules.
• For safe and proper installation, ensure that only those parts supplied with the system are used.
• Maximum installation depth for the ATOM light is 400mm (16”) below water line (to top of light).
• All lights should be mounted in a location that is easily accessible without the need for entering
or lowering the pool water.
• 700mm (28”) cable has been supplied pre-assembled within niche assembly, and must remain
stored within the Niche to ensure the light can be accessed above the waterline. [Maximum cable
within niche = 1000mm (40”) (up to 1.0mm2). See Page 16 for more information].
CLEANING
• Only use warm water and a soft brush or cloth to clean ATOM lights. DO NOT use detergents or
spirits as this can damage the light and void your warranty.
USE
• DO NOT operate light unless completely submerged in water.
• Operating the light for at least 15 minutes every week is advised (all year round).
• ATOM lights are suited for both domestic and commercial installations and can be operated
continuously (24/7) if required.
• Temperature range for installation, operation and servicing: +5oC ~ +40oC (+41oF ~ +104oF)
It is recommended that the ATOM lighting range is operated using a Spa Electrics LV25-12 or
LV50-12 transformer.
• DO NOT use electronic or switch-mode power supplies with ATOM lights. These power supplies will
damage the light and void your product warranty.
• Pool chemicals & PH levels: Due to the corrosive nature of unbalanced pool chemicals, Spa
Electrics strongly recommend that your pool water is balanced prior to installing your pool lights or
any plastic or stainless steel components, and tested weekly to maintain these levels. pH levels
should be maintained between 7.2 – 7.6 at all times to ensure the longevity of these components.
> Failure to do so can result in chemical damage to the light housing and pool fittings,
including stainless steel components.
> Please note: Lights or components found to have excessive chemical damage will not
be covered under our manufacturer’s warranty policy.
• This light contains no user-serviceable parts; opening the light will void the product warranty.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Multi-Colour light models provide a choice of 8 exciting fixed colours & 2 Multi-Colour programs
with the flick of a switch!
1. Electric Blue
2. Midnight Magenta
3. Ruby Red
4. Spring Lime
5. Lagoon Green
6. Tropical Aqua
7. Daylight White
8. Warm White
9. Slow colour Blend
10. Fast Colour Change
COLOURS AVAILABLE:
SYNCHRONISED INSTALLATION
1. To change the colour of the light, simply turn your light OFF for 2 seconds and then turn it
back ON. This will signal the light to step through to the next colour.
Colours will display in the order above, to select a desired colour, simply step through the
colours until you find your desired selection.
2.
3.
Your lights will automatically save your selected colour once the power has been turned OFF
for more than 1minute so the next time the lights are used, they will illuminate on the
last colour selected.
To reset or ‘synchronise’ your lights; with the power turned ON, turn the power OFF/ON once
rapidly. This will put the lights into RESET mode (flashing BLUE), once this occurs turn the
power OFF, wait 2 seconds & turn the power ON. Your lights should now be synchronised.
When installing multiple lights; to ensure synchronisation and ease of operation all
lights must operate from a single switch.
