3. Installation Guide

Follow these steps for proper installation of your landscape lighting kit. Ensure power is disconnected before handling any electrical components.

3.1. Assembling Landscape Lights

1. Connect the light head to the ground stake: Align the spotlight head with the ground stake and securely attach it.
2. Tighten the screw: Use an L-wrench (not included) to tighten the screw, securing the light head in place.
3. Position fixtures: Lay out the fixtures in your desired locations. Ensure the total wattage of all connected lights does not exceed the 60-watt rating of the transformer.

3.2. Connecting the Fixtures to the Cable

The kit includes connectors for attaching the spotlights to the main wire. If you experience issues with the provided connectors, consider using alternative waterproof wire nuts or splice tap connectors for a more secure connection, as suggested by some users.

1. Divide the power cable: Carefully divide the main power cable into two halves at the desired connection point for each light.
2. Insert cable into large cap: Place one half of the divided power cable into the large cap of the connector. Screw the pin part of the connector to pierce the power cable, establishing contact.
3. Insert light wire: Thread the wire from the spotlight through the small cap of the connector.
4. Screw small cap into joint: Securely screw the small cap into the main connector joint to complete the connection.

3.3. Installing the Transformer and Photocell

1. Connect wires to transformer: Insert the ends of the two main wires from your lighting circuit into the terminal clamping plates on the transformer.
2. Tighten connections: Use a screwdriver (not included) to tighten the screws, securing the wires firmly in the transformer terminals.
3. Mount the transformer: Install the transformer on a wall using screws. Ensure it is in a location protected from direct heavy weather if possible, and where the photocell can detect ambient light.
4. Activate photocell sensor: Open the cap of the photocell sensor to enable its light detection function.

4. Operating Instructions

The 60W low-voltage transformer features a photocell sensor and multiple operating modes for convenient control of your landscape lights.

4.1. Transformer Modes

The transformer offers three primary operating modes, selectable via a single button:

• Manual ON/OFF: Allows you to manually turn the lights on or off as needed.
• Dusk to Dawn (AUTO): The built-in photocell sensor automatically turns the lights on at dusk and off at dawn.
• Countdown Off: After the lights turn on at dusk, you can set them to automatically shut off after 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 hours.

5. Maintenance

The AUDERWIN landscape lighting kit is designed for durability and minimal maintenance. Regular checks can help ensure optimal performance and longevity.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the light fixtures and transformer with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Connection Inspection: Annually inspect all wire connections for corrosion or looseness. Re-tighten or replace connectors if necessary. Ensure waterproof seals are intact.
• Photocell Sensor: Keep the photocell sensor clear of obstructions (e.g., leaves, dirt) to ensure accurate dusk-to-dawn operation. If the sensor is too sensitive or not sensitive enough, consider its placement relative to other light sources.
• Fixture Adjustment: Adjust the angle of the spotlights as needed to achieve desired illumination. The fixtures offer 360-degree rotation.
• Weather Resistance: The lights and transformer are IP65 waterproof rated and designed to withstand various weather conditions including rain, snow, frost, and high temperatures. The aluminum structure is rust-resistant.
