Before You Begin
- Cord Length and Minimum Required Voltage Considerations When installing Universal ColorLogic/CrystaLogic low-voltage lights, the length of the cord has an effect on performance.
- To prevent performance problems, verify that the transformer is providing the minimum required voltage according to the table below.
- To check this voltage, measure the voltage at the transformer while the light is “on” and operating in “white” mode. In some cases, a voltage greater than 12 volts is required due to a long cord run.
- Some transformers provide higher voltage taps for this purpose; check your transformer manufacturer’s installation instructions for details.
- When using Hayward or other transformers that offer a 14V option, we suggest that you always use the 14 volt tap.
Mounting Location and Height
The light fixture must be installed on a wall or the floor of Hayward LPCUS22xxx LED Light Fixtures the pool or spa, with the top of the lens not less than 18 inches (45 cm) 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.
Select a location for the light fixture(s) that will give optimum light dispersion for the pool or spa design. Be sure to consider the direction of emitted light and take care not to point lights directly at the house or outdoor living spaces.
Verify Connection
The ColorLogic and CrystaLogic power cable comes attached to the light from the factory. If the cable needs to be removed, it’s important that the cable be reinstalled properly. Refer to the information below when reinstalling the power cable. Check that the power cable is securely fastened before installing the ColorLogic or CrystaLogic light.
Plug the power cable connector into the socket on the backside of the light as shown. The clip on the top of the connector should firmly lock into the socket on the light.
Routing the Light Cord
If replacing an existing light, remove power to the light at the electrical panel before starting this installation. Installation must be performed according to Local and NEC codes. Route the light cord through the niche and conduit to the location of the junction box or transformer. Refer to the diagram below. Note: If the light cord requires replacement for any reason, use only Hayward part GLXLPCORD100. Refer to page 15 for replacement parts.
Mounting
Hayward Niche LFGUY1000
The Universal ColorLogic/CrystaLogic Light offers a unique tool-less design when used with the Hayward LFGUY1000 niche. With the power cord routed to the junction box or transformer, coil up 3-4ft of extra cord (up to 15ft can be coiled if necessary) and insert it in the LFGUY1000 niche.
To mount the light, insert it into the niche and twist the light flange clockwise until it firmly locks. The mounting hole should now be at the noon position.
Install either the white or gray plastic trim ring by gently snapping all four trim ring tabs to the four cutout locations on the light flange. Note that the gray trim ring with the mounting screw hole should be used if the stainless steel trim ring will be installed over it (see next section below).
Stainless Steel Trim Ring Installation (optional)
Position the light and gray plastic trim ring, and insert the two hooks on the bottom with the two recesses on the plastic trim ring. Tilt the stainless steel trim ring toward the light and then finish the installation by hand-tightening the screw into the hole at the top of the stainless steel trim ring. Be careful not to over-tighten.
Trim Ring Removal
Remove the mounting screw (if used) and then remove the trim ring by locating the tabs that have been inserted into the trim ring cutouts (shown above). With a small flat head screwdriver, gently pry the trim ring off of each tab until the trim ring comes free.
Light Flange Removal
With the trim ring removed, insert a #2 Phillips head or any small screwdriver into the access hole at the molded latch shown to the right. Gently pry the latch away from the catch so that you can twist the light flange counterclockwise. Twist the light flange until it comes free from the niche.
All other Niches
The Universal ColorLogic/CrystaLogic lights have multiple screw holes and hook positions to fit most niches. Before mounting, examine the light flange, paying particular attention to the adjustable hook (6 o’clock) and the two mounting screw hole positions (noon). The hook can slide up and down and will adjust to a position that will align one of the two mounting screw holes with the niche screw hole.
The optimum position for the hook is when it rests solidly on the niche while either of the two mounting screw holes lines up with the niche’s screw hole. In this position, the hook will retain the bottom of the light flange in the niche. Test fit the light into the niche to determine the best position for the hook. Once that position is found, tighten the hook retaining screw slightly to ensure that the adjustment won’t change during installation.
Coil up 3-4ft of extra cord and insert it in the niche behind the light flange. Position the hook so that it catches on the niche, and then pivot the top of the light into the niche. Install the plastic trim ring by locating the four tabs on the light flange and aligning the four cutouts on the trim ring. Gently snap the trim ring onto the light flange in all four locations.
If using the stainless steel trim ring, position it over the light and gray plastic trim ring and insert the two hooks on the bottom with the two recesses on the plastic trim ring. Tilt the stainless steel trim ring toward the light and then finish the installation by hand-tightening Hayward LPCUS22xxx LED Light Fixtures the screw into the hole at the top of the stainless steel trim ring. Be careful not to over-tighten.
Trim Ring Removal
Remove the mounting screw (if used) and then remove the trim ring by locating the tabs that have been inserted into the trim ring cutouts (shown above). With a small flat head screwdriver, gently pry the trim ring off of each tab until the trim ring comes free. Note: For some installations into Sta-Rite® and SwimQuip® niches, the bottom hook may need to be removed. If so, removing the hook retaining screw will allow you to remove the hook from the light flange.
Wiring
Considerations when Installing a Junction Box or Junction Box Transformer. When using a wall-mount low-voltage transformer, a junction box should be installed to make the connection to the pool/spa light. If using more than one light, an adequate number of single-or double-outlet junction boxes will be required. Alternatively, Hayward low-voltage junction box transformer kits (LTBUY11H65) can be used when in-line transformers are desired. Refer to page 13 for more information.
Junction boxes must be installed not less than 48 inches (1.22 m) from the edge of the pool or spa. Run conduit from the niche up to the junction box such that the junction box is not less than 8 inches (20 cm) above the maximum pool or spa water level, or not less than 4 inches (10 cm) above the ground, whichever is greater. Additional conduit should be run from the junction box Hayward LPCUS22xxx LED Light Fixtures to the power supply, switch panel, pool/spa controller, etc.
Wiring Connection to a Wall-mount Transformer
A suitable transformer that is agency listed for low-voltage swimming pool and spa lights (Hayward LTBUY11300, Intermatic® model PX100/PX300, or equivalent) must be used. The transformer must be rated at or above the total wattage used by all attached light fixtures. To ensure dependable operation, up to four Universal ColorLogic/CrystaLogic LED lights can be connected to a single Hayward LTBUY11300 transformer.
If using an LTSUY11300 Hayward Smart Power transformer, only one light can be connected per zone. Run conduit from the junction box to the low-voltage transformer, pool/ spa controller, or switch box. Snake 2 wires through the conduit from the junction box to the power supply. If multiple lights are being installed, run additional conduit/wires from the junction box to the additional junction box(es). When wiring multiple lights to the same 12-volt source, do not exceed the transformer’s total rated wattage. Refer to the manufacturer’s specifications and instructions for run length and wiring size. Use wire nuts to connect the field-installed wiring to the light fixture cord in the junction box.
Wiring Connection to a Hayward Junction Box Transformer
Hayward offers pool/spa light transformers designed to fit into Hayward LPCUS22xxx LED Light Fixtures various manufacturers’ junction boxes. Refer to the table on the following page to determine which model transformer will fit your type of junction box. These transformers are designed to power a single Hayward ColorLogic/CrystaLogic LED light. If more than one light is installed, multiple junction box transformers must be used. Run conduit from the junction box transformer to the pool/spa controller or switch box.
Snake 3 wires through the conduit. Connect the ground wires to the ground terminal connections inside the junction box. Use wire nuts to connect the field-installed wiring to the 120V side of the transformer and the Universal ColorLogic/CrystaLogic LED light cord to the low-voltage side of the transformer. Refer to the wiring diagram on the following page.
Troubleshooting
If you have a problem with your Hayward Universal Color Logic/Crysta Logic light, please try the following tips before calling for service:
- PROBLEM: Universal ColorLogic Light will not advance Hayward LPCUS22xxx LED Light Fixtures to the next program when it is powercycled (turned “off” and then back “on”). SOLUTION 1: Do not power-cycle the switch too rapidly. Leave it off for at least 1 second before turning it back on.SOLUTION 22: Make sure that the light is in the proper mode (page 3).
- PROBLEM: Universal ColorLogic Light goes to white whenever it is power-cycled (turned “off” and then back “on”). SOLUTION: Be sure that you power-cycle the light for less than 10 seconds.
- PROBLEM: Multiple Universal ColorLogic Lights Hayward LPCUS22xxx LED Light Fixturesare not correctly synchronized. SOLUTION: Verify that the Universal ColorLogic light is in the proper mode (page 3). Follow the steps in these instructions to resynchronize the lights.
- PROBLEM: Light will not come on.
SOLUTION: Check the input power to the transformer and then the light. Check the ground fault and reset if necessary. PROBLEM: The Light will not come on, or the light cycles on and off. SOLUTION: Depending on cord length and operating voltage, the automatic thermal switch may be cycling due to excessive air/pool water temperatures (over 105ºF). Temporarily switch to a cooler color (Deep Blue Sea, Royal Blue, etc.) until air/water temperatures cool off. - PROBLEM: GFCI trips when lights are turned on or off. SOLUTION: Install a Hayward GLX-HAL-XSNUB snubber capacitor across the primary leads (line to neutral) of the transformer on the load side of the light switch or relay.
