DANGER
WARNING
Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and instructions in this guide. Failure to follow warnings and instructions can result in severe bodily injury, or property damage.
Serious bodily injury can result if these lights are not installed and used correctly.
Installers, pool operators, and pool owners must read these warning and all instructions before using these lights.
WARNING
CAUTION
WARNING
NOTICE
These lighted LED Laminars must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool professional in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC) or Canadian Electric Code
(CEC), CSA C22.1.
All applicable local installation codes and ordinances must also be adhered to. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in serious injury to pool users, installers, or others due to electric shock. Always disconnect power to the pool lights before servicing.
Turn off power to light before installation/service. CMP Laminars are equipped with a low voltage light and should never be electrically connected to a power source other than an approved pool “Safety
Rated,” UL listed, outdoor rated, 12 VAC transformer. Failure to comply will either damage or destroy the light and will void the warranty.
No separate ground or bonding wire is required. The Laminars have no exposed metal. They do not require a niche.
NOTICE
Save these instructions. This installation and user guide contains important information about the installation, operation, and safe use of this swimming pool/spa light. This guide should be given to the owner and/or operator of this equipment.

2. GENERAL INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 WATER SOURCE MUST BE FILTERED
The Laminar water supply must be filtered by a cartridge filter (do not use a sand filter) and be installed with a check valve. For up to four laminar jet installations use a dedicated filter that is a minimum of 50 sq-ft such as the
CMP filter 25504-600-000.
Use only ABS-PVC glue when making conduit connections to this canister. Each Laminar installed requires its own ball valve to adjust flow on each line such as the CMP Ball Valve
25800-151-000.
2.4 LED LIGHT MODULE
2.2 PUMP
The required minimum pump flow for each laminar is listed in the table below:
The 12V LED light module offers vibrant lighting and can be synced with a variety of pool lighting products for the major manufacturers. Reference the color sync guide in the back portion of these instructions.

WARNING
It is extremely important that the water supply line to each Laminar must be flushed so that all debris material inside the line is removed prior to being installed into the Laminar. Foreign material and debris will negatively affect the performance of the fountain.
Each laminar jet requires a 1” PVC entering the deck canister. A check valve, such as CMP
Hydroseal 25830-704-000, should be installed as far away from the laminar jet canister as possible to minimize water turbulence. The laminar canister is made from ABS material.
The maximum lighted distance of the laminar stream should be considered 4 feet in height and 6 feet in distance. If the laminar arc is over 4 feet high there is a good chance that the lighting will not travel the full distance to the bottom of the laminar flow. If the throw distance is over 6 feet the lighting will also fail to go the full distance through the laminar stream. Be sure the distance from the interior pool wall to the Laminar is no further than 3 feet.

3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 DECK CANISTER INSTALLATION
NOTE: Prior to installation, make sure the opening on the Laminar canister lid is facing toward the desired target location in the pool. Make sure the deck canister is no more than 5’ from the interior pool wall.
1. Dig a hole for the deck canister approximately 24” deep and 18” in diameter. This will ensure enough room for positioning the canister and laying out the plumbing. This depth will also allow for an additional layer of pea gravel for stability and extra drainage.
2. Set the deck canister in the hole. For “indeck” applications - level the top edge of the lid to be flush with the finished deck after the decking material is poured. For planter areas - level the lid to be 2” above the landscape area to prevent debris from washing into the laminar jet. canister marked “ELECTRICAL.” It is highly recommended to use sweep fittings for ease of installation.
6. Plumb the 1" drain line to the drain socket. Adequate drainage must be provided for the deck canister.
NOTE: Proper drainage for the deck canister is critical to avoid damage to laminar jet assembly.
7. Verify the canister is level.
8. Fill excavated area with gravel until gravel reaches 1" up from the bottom of the deck canister.
9. Finish pouring/installing deck material.
10. Do not remove clear protective film on the deck canister lid until after the pool deck has been installed. This is intended to keep foreign debris from damaging or clogging the Laminar.
3. Level the deck canister. To hold the canister in place while the deck is poured or installed, secure canister by placing the center stake socket on a 1” pipe or use rebar sockets on the side of the canister.
4. Plumb the incoming filtered water supply to the 1” inlet on the side of the deck canister, which is marked “WATER.”

INSTALLATION
4.2 WINTERIZATION STEPS FOR AREAS
WITH FREEZING CONDITIONS
NOTE: Ensure that the pool meets requirements of the National Electric Code and all local codes and ordinances. A licensed and certified electrician must install the electrical system.
1. Remove canister lid.
2. Carefully loosen and separate the garden hose union on the water supply line inside the deck canister.
1. The low voltage transformer must be located at least 8 inches above the water level, at least 4 inches above the ground level, and at least 4 feet from the edge of the pool.
2. All metal items within 5 feet of the pool must be properly electrically bonded to a reliable point of grounding.
3. Disconnect the male and female wire connectors.
4. Blow water lines clear.
5. Remove jet body assembly and then pour out remaining water from the body by rotating it in all directions. Continue dumping water until all water is removed.
6. Store jet body and all attachment hardware together in a safe, dry location.
3. Connect the male and female wire connectors.
4. Feed cord through conduit from the
Laminar to the low voltage transformer.
Leave about 3 feet of cord coiled in the bottom of the deck canister so that the unit can be easily serviced.
5. Connect all wiring to the low voltage transformer. Install cover for the transformer.
6. Test to make sure the light functions and the wiring has been done correctly.

To sync the light with additional H-STYLE lights:
• The H-STYLE Laminar Light can easily be synced with additional H-STYLE lights. All lights should be wired to the same switch. This should automatically sync the lights. If the lights get out of sync on the same switch: turn the switch OFF, then wait between eleven (11) and fourteen (14) seconds and turn the switch back ON. When the lights come back on, they should enter program mode number one (1) and be synchronized.
