5. Setup and Installation

Important: Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Ensure power is disconnected before proceeding.

1. Power Disconnection: Turn off the main power supply at the circuit breaker to the area where the transformer will be installed. Verify that power is off using a voltage tester.
2. Mounting: Select a suitable location for the transformer that allows for adequate ventilation and is protected from moisture. Secure the transformer using appropriate fasteners through the mounting holes.
3. Input Wiring (230V AC):
   • Connect the live (L) wire from the mains supply to the input terminal marked 'L' on the transformer.
   • Connect the neutral (N) wire from the mains supply to the input terminal marked 'N' on the transformer.
   • Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.
4. Output Wiring (12V AC):
   • Connect the 12V halogen lamp(s) to the output terminals marked '12V' on the transformer.
   • Ensure the total wattage of the connected lamps is within the transformer's operating range (35-105W).
   • Maintain correct polarity if specified by the lamp manufacturer, although for AC halogen lamps, polarity is generally not critical.
5. Final Check: Double-check all wiring connections for security and correctness. Ensure no bare wires are exposed.
6. Power Restoration: Restore power at the main circuit breaker. Test the lighting system.

6. Operating Instructions

Once properly installed, the MAXTRACK Transmedia LT2-2L Halogen Transformer operates automatically when power is supplied. It converts the 230V AC input to 12V AC for your halogen lamps.

• Power On/Off: Control the lighting system using the standard wall switch connected to the transformer's input.
• Non-Dimmable: This transformer is designed for non-dimmable operation. Do not attempt to use it with dimmer switches, as this may damage the unit or the connected lamps.
• Protection Features: The transformer includes built-in overload and temperature protection. In case of an overload or excessive temperature, the unit will temporarily shut down to prevent damage. Disconnect power, allow the unit to cool, and investigate the cause before restoring power.

7. Maintenance

The MAXTRACK Transmedia LT2-2L Halogen Transformer requires minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: Ensure power is disconnected. Gently wipe the exterior of the transformer with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the wiring for any signs of damage, fraying, or loose connections. Address any issues promptly.
• Ventilation: Ensure that the area around the transformer remains clear of obstructions to allow for proper airflow and heat dissipation.
