SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY

• Do not install within 10 feet ( 3 m ) of a pool, spa or fountain.
• This is for use with low-voltage outdoor landscape lighting systems only. There are no serviceable parts inside the power supply unit .
• DO NOT DISASSEMBLE.
• Do not submerge the transformer.
• Do not connect two or more transformers in parallel.
• Do not use it with a dimmer. Plug the power supply unit directly into a GFCI wet location outlet. Do not use an extension cord.

WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, according to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to protect reasonably against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used under the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio.

Low-Voltage Landscape Transformer Pre-Installation

WARNING: Use only CSA or UL-approved low-voltage cable. Failure to use at least a 16-gauge minimum cable or install it as directed in these instructions may result in the Risk of Fire or Electric Shock. Using a large cable will ensure maximum light output.

TECHNICAL PARAMETERS

Note: The transformer has three outputs, with each set of power accounting for one-third of the total power.

For example, the total power is 120W, and each output cannot exceed 40W, The total power is 200W, and each output cannot exceed 66W. The total power is 300W, and each output cannot exceed 100W.The total power is 600W, and each output cannot exceed 200W.

TOOLS REQUIRED

HARDWARE INCLUDED

Low Voltage Landscape Transformer Installation

1. Preparing the Cable

Be careful when splitting, NOT to expose the copper wire, and remove the landscape wire insulation 1/2 in. from both wires and twist ends.

2. Connecting the Cable to the Transformer

Lay the transformer on a flat, stable surface and insert the stripped end of one wire under the terminal clamping plate “COM”. Repeat this procedure for the clamping plate “12V” or “14V”.

NOTE: Gently pull on the landscape wire to verify if the connection is strong.

3. Placing Your Fixtures and Routing the Cable

Lay your fixtures (not included) out where you want to locate them. Be sure they do not exceed the rating of the transformer. Route the low-voltage cable to the fixtures if there is extra cable, coil after the last fixture.

WARNING: Risk of Fire

Leave at least 10 feet (3m) of wire between the power pack and the first fixture.

4. Attaching Your Fixtures

Turn the transformer on. Attach your fixtures to the cable using cable connectors as shown. Place one connector on each cable side, then press together to lock. Prongs will pierce the cable to make contact, and your fixtures should light up. Turn the transformer on.

Attach your fixtures to the cable using the cable connectors as shown. Press the connector tightly onto the cable until the prongs pierce the cable insulation. The fixtures should light up.

5. Mounting the Transformer

To mount directly to a wall surface, use the included screwsasshown, suitable for mounting within 39 to 59 in. (1 m to 1.5 m) of the ground .

Hang the transformer (A) onto the screws.

6. Mounting the Photocell

Mount the photocell (B) bracket on a wall or other solid surface. Snap the sensor into the bracket. Route or coil the excess wire to protect it from lawn mowers, trimmers, etc. Avoid pointing the sensor at nighttime light sources such as windows, porch lights, and street lights.

Placing the sensor in areas receiving less sunlight at dusk (east side of house, behind trees and bushes, under a deck) will have the transformer on earlier in the evening. Mounting the photocell in brighter locations will cause the transformer to come on when it becomes darker outside. The location, position, and orientation of the photocell can be adjusted until the transformer turns on at the desired light level.

If the wires to the photocell are cut or broken, the photocell can be replaced. Unscrew the photocell connector cover from the transformer and pull the bi-pin connector out of the mating socket. The replacement part is inserted into the socket, and the cap is screwed back onto the socket to provide a water-tight connection.

Note that the bi-pin connector is polarized and can be inserted into the socket only one way. A replacement photocell is available in the store.

7. Protecting or Hiding the Cable

Once all fixtures are in place and you are satisfied with their
locations, the cable may be covered with mulch or buried up to 6 in. (15 cm) deep. Leave about 12 in. (30 cm) of cable after the last fixture.

WARNING: Risk of Fire

Do not coil the cable around the transformer. Total bulb wattages must not exceed the maximum power of the transformer.
