PG2000 ® Synchronization Procedures with SAm ® light
Listed below are the procedures to follow if you have a SAm underwater color light installed in your pool or spa and wish
to synchronize your fiber optics with SAm.
NOTE
There may be slight color variations between the SAm and PG2000 depending on the application. These variations are caused by
differences in initial light intensity and attenuation of the water and/or reflective surfaces (i.e. pool wall coloring).
In order for instructions to work you must have P/N 840242 – 7 Color, Electronic Synchronized PG2000
(all other part numbers must use visual synchronization method)
Synchronization Start Conditions
1. SAm is ON and colorwheel is stopped on ANY color (including white).
2. PG2000 power is ON and the colorwheel is OFF.
Synchronization Procedure
1. Simultaneously toggle SAm OFF/ON and turn the PG2000 colorwheel ON.
2. Allow about 1½ minutes for colors to synchronize. Enjoy!
3. To stop both lights on the same color, simultaneously toggle SAm OFF/ON and turn the PG2000 colorwheel OFF.
Visual Synchronization Method (for use with P/N 840241 only)
1. Turn SAm ON, colorwheel is stopped on ANY color (including white).
2. Turn PG2000 ON and colorwheel ON.
3. When PG2000 transitions between purple and magenta toggle SAm OFF/ON.
4. To stop both lights on the same color, simultaneously toggle SAm off and on while turning the PG2000 colorwheel off.
Troubleshooting
If the PG2000 does not come on at all…
• Make sure the power switch is on (see switch position diagram). On Auto Remote Control (Compool ® /Jandy ® ) make
sure the proper auxiliary is turned on. The PG2000 should always operate in manual mode no matter what type of control
system is installed.
• Check that the circuit breaker is not tripped.
• Check the incoming voltage at the PG2000 to verify power supply.
• Check the fuse(es) inside the unit. Replace if fuse is open.
If there is no light…
• Check that the bulb is in place securely in the socket.
• If you can hear the fan running the lamp has probably failed. Replace lamp.
If the fan runs, but the light cycles on and off…
• Check the vents of obstructions. There must be adequate air flow or PG2000 will overheat and begin to cycle.
• If the unit is operating in direct sunlight during a very hot day it may exceed the recommended operating temperature and
cycle on and off. This protects the end of the fiber optic cables from damage and is normal.
If the light comes on, but the fan is not running…
• Turn off PG2000 immediately and check for obstructions in the fan!
• DO NOT continue to operate PG2000 without the fan running! The excess heat can damage the fiber optic cable.
Colors do not change….
• Make sure the colorwheel power is on. On Auto Control (Compool ® /Jandy ® ) make sure the proper auxiliary is turned on.
• Remove the body and check the colorwheel for obstructions or debris that might be interfering with the rotation of the
color wheel.
