Color Sync Controller Installation Guide
For Installation of Electrical Controls at Equipment Pad (ON/OFF
Switches, Timers and Automation Load Center)
Install all electrical controls at equipment pad, such as on/off switches,
timers, and control systems, etc. to allow the operation (startup, shut-
down, or servicing) of any pump or filter so the user does not place
any portion of his/her body over or near the pump strainer lid, filter
lid or valve closures. This installation should allow the user enough
space to stand clear of the filter and pump during system start-up,
shut down or servicing of the system filter.

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 Color Sync™ Controller is installed. The electrician
should also consult the local building department regarding local codes. Some of
the NEC requirements are listed below:
The 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 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 Controller within 5 feet (3 meters for Canadian
installations) of any body of water. USE COPPER CONDUCTORS
O N LY.
The 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 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 Controller must be properly electrically bonded and grounded.
Do not submerge the Controller.
Do not connect two or more Controllers together.

Overview
The Color Sync™ Controller gives you complete control of Pentair pool, spa
and 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 feature you can also create endless unique lighting effects. The Color
Sync™ Controller can control individual or multiple Pentair color/white LED
lights, which are connected via a junction box to the controller so that all lights
can be switched on and off together.

Outlet Box Specifications
(purchased separately)
The Color Sync 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” conduit
inlet. Outlet Box
Height
4.50”
Width 2.75” Depth 1.60”
Outlet Box Location
Before installing the Color Sync Controller, read the following guidelines
carefully:
1. Before permanent installation, test the 2.4 GHz WiFi signal strength at
the location where the controller will be mounted (refer to "Testing WiFi
Signal Strength" in the Color Sync Pentair Home App User’s Guide).
The controller operates on 2.4 GHz. Note: Be sure the home network
router supports 2.4 GHz. Dual Band routers are supported.
2. If possible, minimize the number and volume of obstacles that may block
the wireless signal to the enclosure.
3. Beforechoosingthenallocationforthecontroller,considerthelengthof
all AC power wires that will need to be connected to the unit.
4. Mounttheunitonaatverticalsurfacewithunobstructedaccesstothe
front of the unit. The unit can be mounted inside your house, outside or
inside of a pool equipment shed or other enclosures.
5. All electrical equipment, except for UL Listed spa-side remote switches,
must be installed no fewer than 5 ft. (1.5 m). For Canada, 3 m (9.75 ft.)
from the pool and/or spa. Comply with all national state, and local code
6. CAUTION: Install the controller in a location to allow enough space at the
equipmentpadtostandclearofthelterandpumpduringsystem

Installing the Outlet box
To install the outlet box:
1. Position the controller and outlet box to meet National Electrical Code
requirements, and to prevent hazard to personnel.
2. Run conduit from the pool/spa 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.

To wire Pentair 120 VAC or 12 VAC Lights to the Color Sync Controller:
1. Route the Pentair color LED Light cord (for 120VAC lights only), or the
supply wires for the Pentair transformer, along with the three supply wires
(White, Green and Black) from the GFCI, up through the conduit opening
into the outlet box. See page 12 for wiring diagram.
2. Strip the ends of all the conductors a minimum of 1/4”. Note: Use under-
water 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. Place the gasket onto Color Sync back of the controller before connecting
the wires.
5. 12 VAC LIGHT: Connect the the LOAD wire from the controller to the step
down transformer. Note: Connect the light to the secondary 12 VAC
output of the step-down transformer, then connect the Controller to
the 120 VAC primary input of the step down transformer.
120 VAC LIGHT: Connect the LOAD wire from the controller junction box
to HOT line wire of the light. IMPORTANT! 120 VAC POOL/SPA LIGHTS
MUST HAVE A GFCI CONNECTION.
6. Connect the White (Neutral) wire from the Color Sync Controller to the
White wire from the light cord, and the White (Neutral) wire from the GFCI,
using an appropriately sized wire nut.
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.
300 Watts Maximum Load. The total allowable light wattage is
300 Watts maximum. Loading above 300 W will cause permanent
damage to the Color Sync Controller and may render it
permanently inoperable.
IMPORTANT! RECOMMENDED 80% LOADING AT 240 WATTS IS
THE PREFERRED MAXIMUM LOAD PERMISSIBLE FOR
CONTINUOUS OPERATION.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION
WIRING LIGHTS TO THE COLOR SYNC™ CONTROLLER
The Color Sync Controller is a 120 VAC device, DO NOT connect 12
VAC Pentair Color LED lights directly to the Color Sync Controller, use an
appropriate step down transformer between the controller and lights.
