SAFETY GUIDELINES
Low voltage installation and maintenance is safe and presents no risk for electric shock injury. However, there are regulations that may apply and that should be followed by installers. The following safety points may or may not be included in these regulations – the installer is responsible for ensuring a compliant installation.
· WARNING- RISK OF SHOCK. Install power unit at least 5 feet (1.5m) from pool or spa and at least 10 feet (3.05m) from a fountain.
· WARNING- install power unit in or on non-combustible materials only.
· Power supply must be connected (using supplied power cord) to GFCI-protected receptacle with an In-use cover.
· All power supplies are indoor and outdoor rated, but we recommend that the transformer be mounted outdoors. If mounting indoors, check for local electrical codes that may apply.
· Power supply must be mounted in a vertical orientation with the bottom plate at least 1 foot above the ground.
· In hot climates, avoid mounting in direct sunlight.Power unit will get hot regardless of climate. This is normal for operation.

DETERMINE THE LOAD
The general capacity should have been determined prior to purchasing the transformer. Circuit loads should not exceed 80% of capacity. As a general rule, total light fixture wattage should not exceed 80% of the transformer capacity. To determine the total wattage, simply add up the wattage of all fixture lamps. This number should be 20% less than the transformer’s wattage capacity. If you are over capacity, your installation may require a secondary or larger transformer.
