BOLD Source 60 & 180 Installation Manual

The Source 60 & Source 180

The Source is BOLD's standard low-voltage transformer, available in 60VA and 180VA. It features an integrated day photocell and an astronomical clock. Settings can be adjusted via the control panel, offering four embedded modes: On/Off, Timer, Auto, and Astro Mode.

Modes:
