Connection & Installation

Step 1: Access Components

Unscrew the cover to access the internal components.

Step 2: Prepare Knockouts

Locate the knockouts at the bottom of the transformer. Remove only the knockouts required for your installation. Note: Every run requires a knockout; unused knockouts can compromise the transformer's weather resistance.

Step 3: Install Wire Strain Relief

Install the waterproof wire strain relief.

Step 4: Connect Low-Voltage Wire

Push the low-voltage wire through the wire strain relief. Prepare your low-voltage wires. Strip the wires 5/8" (1.6 cm). Ensure the wire shield extends 1/2" (1.3cm) from the wire strain relief. Secure the wire by tightening the wire strain relief nut.

Step 5: Make Terminal Connections

Make the connections to the terminal block inside the transformer. Connect to the 24V DC terminals.

Step 6: Mount Transformer

Use the 2 mounting holes to mark the location, then install the transformer. (Mounting screws not included). Dimensions: DCP-MTR60: 1-1/2" (38.1cm); DCP-MTR300: 2-3/8" (60.3cm).

Step 7: Power On

Turn the power back on.

Step 8: System Control

Follow the Controls table / Troubleshooting guide to control your smart landscape light system. To pair your transformer and lights to the DALS Connect app™, follow the instructions on page 4.

Controls Table / Troubleshooting Guide

Note: To enable steps T4 and T5, step T3 must be completed, and the transformer must be paired to the DALS Connect™ app.

Connectivity and Control with DALS Connect App

Step 1: Download and Account Creation

Download the DALS Connect™ app and create an account. Scan the QR codes for download: [QR code for App Store download], [QR code for Google Play download].

Step 2: Profile and Home Setup

Configure your profile and set up your home inside the app. This allows control of light groups and advanced automation based on your location. (Screenshots depict the process of creating a new home, naming it, setting a location, and adding rooms like 'Living Room' or 'Master Bedroom').

Step 3: Initiate Pairing

To initiate pairing, follow step T3 (Page 3). In the DALS Connect™ app, press the [plus symbol] in the top right corner and select 'Add Device'. The device will be detected instantly under 'Add device', then press 'Add'. (Screenshots show the 'Add Device' interface and the detection of a 'Core' device).

Step 4: Add Transformer to App

Your transformer will be added to the app. You can click 'Done' at the bottom, or click the 'pen' icon to rename the product and assign it to a room. (Screenshots show the 'Add Device' confirmation screen with options to 'Done' or edit device information, and a screen to assign the device to a room).

Step 5: Remote Access

To access your lights remotely via Wi-Fi, select the transformer in the app. Click the dropdown menu at the bottom and choose 'Add existing' to select existing devices or 'Search for Devices' to scan for new devices. Follow the on-screen instructions. (Screenshots show the device control screen with a dropdown menu and options for managing devices).

Optional Pairing

Follow step T4 (Page 3). Ensure lights are in pairing mode (blinking). They will automatically link to the transformer in the app. Note: Lights linked this way will lose connection if unlinked from the transformer.
