Introduction
Thank you for choosing Atlantic’s Color Changing Colorfalls. The Colorfalls are
designed for use in Pond-free and fountain applications. The Color Changing
Colorfalls feature a larger opening which produces a thicker water sheer and less
clogging from debris in the water, a remote controlled Color Changing LED light
bar, and a removable back plate that provides access to the interior of the spillway
for easy maintenance and winterizing.
Prior to Operation and Installation
Caution:
• DO NOT operate this product under any condition other than those
for which it is specified. Failure to observe these precautions can lead
to electrical shock, product failure, or other problems.
• Follow all aspects of electrical codes when installing the Color
Changing Colorfalls.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect only to a 110 volt
receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
• The input power to the Color Changing Control Module is 12 volt AC.
The Control Module can be connected to a larger outdoor lighting
transformer; however this must be done between the Control Module
and the transformer. Removing the Control Module or tampering with
the cord between the Control Module and the Colorfalls will damage
the light bar and void warranty.
• The Control Module is weather resistant with an IP54 rating. Do not
submerse the Control Module or expose it to heavy rainfall. It must be
mounted off the ground close to the power source. Failure to do so will
void the warranty.
• Colorfalls are designed for use in Pond-free and fountain applications.
Colorfalls are not intended for use in water gardens or any pond with
plant or aquatic life.
The ColorFalls must be accessible for service and maintenance. Installing the
ColorFalls so that the entire body is removable is highly recommended. Do not
glue the cap stones above the ColorFalls or permanently mortar the ColorFalls
in place.
The Colorfalls can support 40 lbs. per linear foot (e.g. a 24” Colorfalls can support
80 lbs.). If the weight on the weir exceeds that amount, you will need to provide a
lintel support for the added weight. This support should still make contact with the
weir to prevent it from shifting.
