This booklet contains important information about the correct installation and handling of the AGRX Series lights. Please read this booklet carefully before commencing installation to familiarise yourself with the included parts, accessories and correct installation procedures.

BEFORE YOU START
· If required, ensure that the transformer is installed by a suitable qualified persons (e.g., registered pool builder and/or qualified electrician), in accordance with AS/NZS 3000:2018 standards.
· For safe and proper installation, ensure that only those parts supplied with the system are used.
· Check that there is enough cable behind the existing light to allow for servicing above water, preferably at ground-level pool-side.

· Ensure the pool light end of cable is circular and free of damage or imperfections i.e., cuts, cracks or deformation. If possible, trim back until fresh end of cable is available.
· Confirm existing transformer is a iron core type, 12V AC ONLY and in good working order (If in doubt contact Spa Electrics).

CLEANING
· Only use warm water and a soft brush or cloth to clean AGRX Series. DO NOT use detergents or spirits as this can damage the light and void your warranty.
USE
· Operating the light for at least 15 minutes every week is advised (all year round)
· AGRX Series lights are suited for both domestic and commercial installations.

WARNING
· The AGRX Series light must only be powered by a 12V AC iron core type transformer.
· DO NOT use electronic or switch-mode transformers with AGRX Series lights. These transformers 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 recommends 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 level 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.

TOOLS REQUIRED
Flat-blade screw driver Phillips Head (No 2) screw-driver

IMPORTANT NOTES
The use of power tools (such as 240V and cordless drills) during installation is not recommended as these devices can cause faults and damage to light components.
If you are unsure, please contact Spa Electrics
