WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Be sure the pool electrical system conforms with all requirements of the

National Electrical Code (NEC), and all local codes and ordinances. A licensed

or certiﬁed electrician must install the electrical system to meet or exceed those

requirements before the IntelliBrite®Controller is installed.The electrician should

also consult the local building department regarding local codes. Some of the

NEC requirements are listed below:

• The IntelliBrite Controller must be installed by a qualiﬁed electrician,

according to the National Electrical Code (including article 680) or

Canadian Electrical Code (including section 68) and, local code

requirements.For Canadian installations, supply circuit must be

protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter.

• The IntellilBrite Controller must be provided with a fail-proof ground

as required by NEC, Article 680 and any applicable local codes For

Canadian installations, the supply circuit must be protected by a

ground fault circuit interrupter.

• Do not install the IntelliBrite Controller within 5 feet (3 meters

for Canadian installations) of any body of water. USE COPPER

CONDUCTORS ONLY.

• The IntelliBrite Controller should be mounted at least 1 foot above the

water and ground level.

• Do not exceed the maximum ratings of individual components, wiring

devices, and current carrying capacity of conductors.

• For grounding and bonding the IntelliBrite Controller and the

installation, refer to section 680 of the National Electrical Code or

section 68 of the Canadian Electrical Code.

• The lighting circuit must have a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

(GFCI), and an appropriately rated circuit breaker.

• The light ﬁxture and all metal items within ﬁve (5) feet of the pool

must be properly electrically bonded.

• The IntelliBrite Controller must be properly electrically bonded and

grounded.

• Do not submerge the IntelliBrite Controller.

IntelliBrite Controller Installation and User’s Guide

IntelliBrite® Controller Overview

The IntelliBrite®Controller provides complete control of Pentair Aquatic

SystemsIntelliBrite underwater LED (light-emitting diode) lights, and IntelliBrite

LED landscape lights.It’s easy to select a lighting feature, just dial in any

one of the pre-programmed color light shows or ﬁxed colors.Using the Hold

and Recall buttons you can also create endless unique lighting effects.The

IntelliBrite Controller can control individual or multiple IntelliBrite LED lights.

Multiple IntelliBrite LED lights can be connected via a junction box to an

IntelliBrite Controller so that all lights can be switched on and off together.

IntelliBrite LED lights are fully compatible with Pentair IntelliTouch®and

EasyTouch®Control Systems.For more information about using IntelliBrite

lights with IntelliTouch systems, refer to the IntelliTouch User’s Guide (P/N

520102) and the EasyTouch User’s Guide (P/N 520584).

IntelliBrite Controller Installation and User’s Guide

Powering on the IntelliBrite light(s)

When the IntelliBrite LED light is powered on, a momentarily white light

will illuminate, followed by the dial selected color.

Troubleshooting (see page 9 for more troubleshooting tips)

Use the following tips to help to resolve problems that might occur while

operating the IntelliBrite Controller.

PROBLEM/

FAULT SOLUTION

Both of the

LEDs are

ﬂashing.

The IntelliBrite Controller has detected that the load has

exceeded the maximum allowable wattage or the output is

shorted out

1. Switch of the IntelliBrite Controller OFF. Remove exces-

sive load or short.

2. Press the IntelliBrite Controller power switch to power on

the unit. Ensure that the LEDs are no longer ﬂashing.

The light will

not illumi-

nate.

Light does

not function

properly.

Check the ground fault wiring and reset if necessary.

Check the light wiring connection to the junction box at the

pool side and to the main circuit breaker.

Be sure that there is proper AC power applied to the light.

Outlet Box Speciﬁcations

(purchased separately)

The IntelliBrite Controller requires a

standard outlet box which is purchased

separately. The outlet box must meet the

following speciﬁcations:

• Outlet box type: 22.5 cubic

inches (minimum) - Suitable

for wet locations with UL/

CSA approval listings. Check

the inside of outlet box for

speciﬁcation label.

• A minimum of one 3/4” steel

conduit.

Outlet Box (22.5 cubic inches minimum)

1.60”

4.50”

2.75”

IntelliBrite Controller Installation and User’s Guide

Installing an Outlet box for the IntelliBrite®Controller

The IntelliBrite®Controller mounts onto a standard outlet box (22.5 cubic

inches). See page 3 for outlet box speciﬁcations.

To install the outlet box:

1. Position the IntelliBrite Controller and outlet box to meet National

Electrical Code requirements, and to prevent hazard to personnel.

2. Run conduit from the IntelliBrite light niche to the junction box.

Note: The outlet box must be located a minimum distance of ﬁve (5)

feet measured horizontally from the inside wall of the pool and not

less than one (1) foot above the maximum pool water level

measured to the top of the outlet box.

3. Remove the lower conduit plug from the outlet box.

4. Mount the outlet box onto the conduit.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION

TURN power OFF at circuit breaker - Always

disconnect power to the pool light at the circuit

breaker before servicing the light. Failure to do

so could result in death or serious injury to

installer, service person, pool users, or others due

to electrical shock.

IntelliBrite Controller Installation and User’s Guide

Wiring an IntelliBrite Controller to IntelliBrite LED

Lights

Maximum wattage when using multiple lights with controller

When using multiple IntelliBrite LED lights, the total allowable light wattage is

300 Watts maximum.The following example combination of IntelliBrite LED

lights can be connected to the IntelliBrite Controller:

• Three (3) IntelliBrite LED pool lights (each light 35 Watt maximum)

• Two (2) IntelliBrite LED spa light (18 Watt maximum)

• Eight (8) Landscape LED lights (each light 15 Watt maximum)

To wire multiple 120 Volt IntelliBrite LED Lights to an IntelliBrite Controller:

1. Route the IntelliBrite LED Light cord and the three wires (white,

green and black) from the GFCI, up through the conduit opening,

and into the outlet box.

2. Strip the ends of the three light conductors, and the three GFCI wires.

Note: Use underwater lights with water resistant cord only.

3. Using the ground screw in the outlet box, secure the green ground

wire from the light, and the GFCI to the back of the outlet box.

4. Connect the red wire from the Controller, to the red wire, which is at-

tached to the black wire of the light at the junction box.

5. Connect the white wire from the Controller to the white wire from the

light cord, and the white wire from the GFCI (neutral).

6. After the wiring has been completed and checked, proceed to

“Installing the Controller in the Outlet Box” on page 10.

12VAC IntelliBrite LED and Landscape Lights

IMPORTANT! When installing 12 VAC IntelliBrite LED and Landscape

lights, connect the lights to the secondary 12VAC output of the step down

transformer, then connect the IntelliBrite controller to the 120VAC primary

input of the step down transformer.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION

TURN power OFF at circuit breaker - Always

disconnect power to the pool light at the circuit

breaker before servicing the light. Failure to do

so could result in death or serious injury to

installer, service person, pool users, or others due

to electrical shock.
