33、 an isolating type power unit, low voltage cable or exible cord, and luminaires. The equipment is intended to be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, Article 411. 1.1 revised February 24, 2014 1.2 Landscape lighting power units covered by this standard have a maxi

34、mum output circuit voltage as specied in Table 2A.1. Revised 1.2 effective August 7, 2009 1.3 This standard covers power units where each output circuit is rated maximum 25 A and 300 VA. 1.3 revised August 7, 2007 1.4 This standard covers landscape lighting system luminaires and other system compone

35、nts that are intended for use on circuits rated maximum 25 A 300 VA, and the voltage specied in Table 2A.1. 1.4 added August 7, 2007 1.5 The luminaires and low voltage system components covered by this standard are intended for garden, walkway, patio areas, or similar outdoor locations and for certa

36、in indoor locations such as atriums and shopping malls. The power units are to be installed indoors or outdoors in accordance with the marking on the product. 1.5 revised January 13, 2015 1.6 This standard covers luminaires and low voltage system components intended for use submersed in or oating on

37、: a) portable self-contained fountains; and b) ponds and other natural and articially made body of water within the scope of Article 682 “Natural and Articially Made Bodies of Water” of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. Added 1.6 effective August 7, 2009 1.7 Throughout this standard, all requir

38、ements identied as applicable to luminaires and low voltage system components used submerged in or oating on ponds also apply to luminaires and low voltage system components intended for use in other bodies of water covered by Article 682 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Further, marki

39、ngs, instructions, and other product specic information shall be permitted to refer to one or more bodies of water covered by Article 682 in addition to ponds or instead of ponds. Added 1.7 effective August 7, 2009 1.8 The luminaires and low voltage system components covered by this standard are not

40、 suitable for use in swimming pools, spas, other bodies of water intended to contain immersed persons, or permanent fountains covered by Part V of Article 680 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Luminaires intended for use in these locations are covered by the Standard for Underwater Lumi

41、naires and Junction Boxes, UL 676. Fountains covered by Part V of Article 680 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 are permanent, not self-contained, not portable, or exceed 5 feet (1.5 m) in any dimension.
