Refer to the label on the transformer for specific wiring details. Common wiring configurations are:

• Primary (Input) Wires:
  • Black: Connect to 120V AC line.
  • Red: Connect to 208V AC line (use with Black for 208V input).
  • Orange: Connect to 240V AC line (use with Black for 240V input).
  • Note: Only use the appropriate primary wires for your supply voltage. Insulate any unused primary wires.
• Secondary (Output) Wires:
  • White: 24V AC output.
  • Blue: 24V AC output.
  • These two wires provide the 24V AC power to your low-voltage device.

5.2 Installation Steps

1. Power Disconnection: Ensure the main power supply to the circuit where the transformer will be installed is completely turned off at the circuit breaker.
2. Mounting: Securely mount the transformer in a suitable location, typically within an electrical junction box or panel, ensuring it is protected from physical damage and moisture.
3. Primary Wiring:
   • Identify your incoming AC line voltage (120V, 208V, or 240V).
   • Connect the appropriate primary wires from the transformer to the corresponding line voltage wires from your power supply. For example, for 120V, connect the Black wire to the 120V line and the other primary wire (e.g., Red or Orange, depending on the specific wiring diagram for 120V) to the neutral or common. For 208V or 240V, connect the Black wire to one line and the Red (for 208V) or Orange (for 240V) wire to the other line.
   • Carefully insulate any unused primary wires with electrical tape or wire nuts.
4. Secondary Wiring:
   • Connect the White and Blue secondary wires from the transformer to the low-voltage input terminals of your device (e.g., thermostat, doorbell chime).
   • Ensure these connections are tight and secure.
5. Verification: Double-check all connections for correctness and security. Ensure no bare wires are exposed.
6. Power Restoration: Restore power to the circuit at the main breaker.
7. Testing: Test the connected low-voltage device to ensure proper operation.

6. Operating Instructions

The Supco SXT105 Transformer operates passively once correctly installed and powered. It continuously converts the primary input voltage to the specified 24V AC secondary output.

• No user interaction is required for its operation.
• Ensure the connected low-voltage device is functioning as expected.
• If the connected device is not receiving power, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

7. Maintenance

The Supco SXT105 Transformer is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, periodic inspection is recommended:

• Annual Inspection: Visually inspect the transformer and its wiring connections for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
• Cleanliness: Ensure the transformer is free from dust, dirt, and debris, which can impede heat dissipation.
• Environmental Conditions: Verify that the operating environment remains within suitable temperature and humidity ranges.
• Power Disconnection: Always disconnect power before performing any inspection or cleaning.

8. Troubleshooting

If the connected low-voltage device is not functioning, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Power to Device:
  • Check the main circuit breaker to ensure power is supplied to the transformer's primary circuit.
  • Verify all primary and secondary wiring connections are secure and correct.
  • Use a multimeter to check for the correct primary voltage at the transformer's input wires.
  • Use a multimeter to check for 24V AC output across the White and Blue secondary wires.
  • Ensure the transformer is not overloaded by the connected device.
• Transformer Overheating:
  • Disconnect power immediately.
  • This could indicate an overload or a short circuit in the secondary circuit.
  • Check the connected device for faults or excessive current draw.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the transformer.
• Physical Damage:
  • Inspect the transformer for any visible signs of damage, such as burnt areas or cracked casing. If damaged, replace the unit.

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact a qualified electrician or Supco customer support.
