Section I. Installation Instructions
A. PG2000 RETROFIT INSTRUCTIONS
Using The X-10 Remote Control
NOTE:
If an X-10 system is present prior to this installation, module settings for this unit must be adjusted to allow for settings already in
use. See operating instructions for directions on how to change manufacturer default settings and then adjust the installation
settings accordingly.
DANGER
Risk of Electrical Shock or Electrocution.
Always disconnect the power to the PG2000 at the circuit breaker before removing the lid and servicing the light.
Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to serviceman, pool users or others due to electrical shock.
1. Turn power switch and colorwheel switch on the side of the PG2000 unit to their “OFF” positions and disconnect
power at the circuit breaker.
2. Remove the PG2000 cover by removing the bottom
screws.
3. If retrofitting an RF2000 wireless system, locate the
receiver module (on the left side of the unit) and
disconnect its 4-pin plug from the PG2000. Remove the
receiver module usually held in place by double stick tape.
4. Take one of the XPFM modules (see Figure 1), set the
UNIT dial to channel 2 and the HOUSE dial to the
appropriate code (A is usually chosen for first time X-10
use). Place this module on the LEFT side of the PG2000
as seen in Figure 4. First clean the mounting surface, then
attach module with the double stick tape provided. Using
the wire nuts provided, connect the BLUE wire and the
YELLOW wire (from the colorwheel fuse). The BLACK
(120VAC, line) wire will be connected in the next
instruction.
5. Take the other module, set the UNIT dial to channel 1 and
the HOUSE dial to the same as the other module. Onto a
clean mounting surface, place this module on the RIGHT
side of the PG2000 with the double stick tape provided.
Connect the BLUE wire, the BLACK wire (from the
LEFT side XPFM), and the smaller BLACK wire from
the Ballast fuse together. Now, connect the RIGHT side
XPFM’s BLACK wire to the main’s BLACK wire.
6. Connect all the WHITE (neutral) wires together with one wire nut (should be 4 white wires in all).
7. Connect the mains GREEN (chassis) wire and the PG2000’s GREEN wire together with a wire nut.
8. Check that all connections are tight and no bare conductors are exposed. Verify connections with the wiring
diagram in Figure 4.
9. Replace the PG2000 cover and fasten with screws.
10. Change the side switches to match the Remote Switch Control setting (see Figure 3). Each switch is set to its own
remote switch position (power and colorwheel).

…, 16 for HOUSE code P.
• Release the ON Button.
• Press and release the first (top) ON button the number of times for the HOUSE code you want to set: 1 for A,
2 for B, … 16 for P. The LED will blink for each press.
• VERIFY the new setting by holding down the first (top) ON button, the LED will turn on, 3 seconds later, the LED
will then blink the new setting.
B. To change the UNIT code for the first (top) two buttons: (the second pair of ON/OFF buttons are always one
number higher than the first pair, i.e. if you set the first button to 6, the second button controls 7).
• Press and hold the top OFF button. The red LED will blink
once, 3 seconds later, the LED will then blink the current
setting: 1 blink for UNIT code 1, 2 blinks for 2, …, 16 blinks
for 16.
• Release the top OFF button.
• Press and release the top OFF button the number of times
for the UNIT code you want.
• VERIFY the new setting by holding down the top OFF
button, the LED will turn on, 3 seconds later, the LED will

• Pry the keychain remote apart and fit a CR2025 Lithium 3V
battery into slot. Observe the polarity.
NOTE
If the unit is cycled off then on it may take up to 3-4 minutes for the
lamp to “restrike” or come back on. All metal halide lamps have
this characteristic and this is a normal function of the PG2000.
