Section 2. Best Installation
Practices
Infinite WaterColors LED Lights use a digital
communication protocol unlike Jandy WaterColors
LED Lights. To ensure proper operation, it is essential
to follow all installation best practices when wiring
and connecting the Infinite WaterColors LED Light
Controller.
Ensure that the pool meets the requirements of the
current National Electrical Code
®
and all local codes
and ordinances. A licensed or certified electrician must
install the electrical system to meet or exceed those
requirements before the underwater light is installed.
Optimal Wiring Architecture
• Keep low voltage wiring as short as possible. Do
not exceed a combined 200’ between the Infinite
WaterColors LED Light Controller and Infinite
WaterColors LED lights.
• Do not run low-voltage and high-voltage in the
same conduit.
• Place the Infinite WaterColors LED Light Controller
as close as possible to the junction box and lights.
• Multiple light controllers require dedicated conduit
runs to each light/junction box; do not share
conduit between different light controllers.
• For all installations, use a minimum of 10 AWG
wire. Refer to Figure 5 for proper wire size on new
or upgraded installations.
NOTE: If necessary, extend the AC line voltage distance between
the Jandy automation system and the Infinite WaterColors
LED Light Controller. Use proper shielded Type TC (or
equivalent) cabling when AC power lines and RS-485 data
cables share the same raceway.
• Junction box wire-to-wire connections should have
maximum wire contact to reduce signal / voltage
loss and ensure reliable performance.
Preferred connection methods:
1. Screw terminals / bus bar
2. Wire nuts
3. Lever / pushin nuts
INCORRECT INSTALLATION X

Section 6. Troubleshooting
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTION ACTION
Lights don’t turn on Light zone is not enabled Ensure that the light is in an enabled zone.
No power / controller failure (red LED off) Verify the following:
- The breaker has not tripped.
- 120 VAC is present on the input pigtail, check wiring if not
present.
- 14VAC is present on screw terminals.
- The light controller's red LED is on. If NO, verify the
automation fuse has not blown.
- If the automative fuse has not blown, replace controller PCBA.
Light wiring Verify the junction box closest to the light is reading 14 VAC.
Rewire the connections to ensure good electrical contact.
Ensure that appropriately sized stranded wire is being used.
Refer to Low Voltage Wire Gauge Selection on page 6-7.
Light failure Disconnect RS485 from the light controller and power cycle the
unit. Check whether the light performs the "rainbow" sequence.
For niched lights, remove the light from the pool and open to
check for 14VAC on the terminals inside. If 0V, replace the full
unit (broken cable), otherwise replace the PCBAs only.
Lights are out of sync Zones are set differently Verify that lights are in the same zone, or the same light show
is applied to all zones
One or more lights are
dim, blinking or not
working
Poor connection Verify wiring and connections
Voltage sag Verify that the correct wire gauge is being used and is stranded.
Refer to Low Voltage Wire Gauge Selection on page 6-7.
Cross talk between multiple light
controllers
To ensure that there are no learn in issues or duplicate lights
as a result of cross talk between multiple light controllers at
startup, or when replacing one or more lights, follow the steps
below to reset the units and learn the lights in correctly:
- Ensure light controllers are routed in separate, dedicated
conduits or run with shielded cable. Shared conduit with
multiple light controllers will result in crosstalk issues.
- Disconnect RS485 from all light controllers.
- Factory reset all light controllers by holding the factory reset
button on the control board for 7 seconds while powered.
- Power off all light controllers.
- Clear memory on the RS, or forget the device in EDGE.
- Plug in RS485 to all light controllers.
- Power on 1 light controller at a time to learn the controller
and lights into automation.
- Once all light controllers have been learned in, set up zones
and assign lights.
- Verify the issues are resolved.
Lights are flashing
yellow
Third party transformer Only the Jandy LED Light Controller can be used to power and
communicate with Infinite WaterColors lights. Replace any thrid
party transformers with IWCLC300W2.
Controller communication Check the DCT red LED status.
If the unit is OFF, verify that 14 VAC is present at the screw
terminals. If 14 VAC is confirmed, replace the DCT.
If ON, verify that the wiring is properly sized, stranded, and that
secure connections are present at each junction box. Refer to
Best Installation Practices on pages 5-7

Different colors from
other lights
Lights in different zones Verify that lights are in the same zone, or that all zones are set
to the same color. If colors still wont match, refer to light failure
corrective actions.
Light failure Turn all lights to Ruby Red, then Emerald Green, then Cobalt
Blue. If any of the colors did NOT work, check the light for
physical damage or water intrusion.
Zones / lights not
showing up in the app
No lights connected Verify at least 1 light is conencted. Light setup and zones
will only appear once at least 1 light is connected and
communicating.
RS485 wiring / communication Check if light controller green LED is flashing. If yes, confirm
the controller appears in the automation device list and
continue with the following steps.
- Verify that wiring is correct (1 - red, 2 - black, 3 - yellow,
4 - green). Incorrect wiring at other devices can also affect the
light controller.
- Check for 10 VDC at the light controller red 4-pin connector. If
no voltage is present, proceed to the next step.
- Check continuity on black and yellow comm wires between
automation and the light controller to ensure they are not
damaged or broken.
Automation failure Confirm if other RS485 devices operating properly. If not, verify
for the following:
- Check for 10 VDC at the RS system. If 10 VDC is missing,
replace the RS.
- Check for continuity between automation and light controller
red 4 pins to ensure no RS485 wires are broken.
Light controller failure Unplug the RS485 and power cycle the light controller. Verify
the lights perform the "rainbow" sequence on power up.
-If yes, the device is good, check comms further.
-If no, connect a known good light directly to the light controller
to identify whether the issue is the controller or light. Replace
as needed.
