Security and Electricity Requirements

Before starting installation: Shut the line feed power off using the circuit breaker. Installation must be done according to local electrical codes and by a qualified electrician.

Warnings:

• Not for use with dimmers.
• Not for use with submersible fixtures.
• Do not connect two or more power supplies in parallel.
• For use with DALS Connect Pro™ landscape lighting system only.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, install only on a circuit protected by GFCI.
• Install at least 3 feet from ground level.
• For optimal Wi-Fi connectivity, install the transformer close to your Wi-Fi router and avoid physical obstacles.

Important: The NEC requires that appliances operating more than 3 hours per day be derated to 85% of their capacity.

• DCP-MTR60: 51W MAX.
• DCP-MTR300: 255W MAX. (127.5W PER OUTPUT)

Sum the wattage of all your smart landscape fixtures to obtain the total wattage of your run. Refer to the voltage drop chart on www.dals.com for long runs.

Connection & Installation

1. Unscrew the cover to access the internal components.
2. Locate the knockouts at the bottom of the transformer. Remove only the knockouts required for your installation. Unused knockouts can compromise the transformer's weather resistance.
3. Install the waterproof wire strain relief.
4. Push the low-voltage wire through the wire strain relief. Prepare your low-voltage wires by stripping them 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.
5. Make the connections to the terminal block inside the transformer.
6. Use the 2 mounting holes to mark the location, then install the transformer. Mounting screws are not included.
7. Turn the power back on.

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.

3. To initiate the pairing of your transformer, follow step T3 (Page 3). Then, in the DALS Connect™ app, press the "+" sign in the top right-hand corner and select "Add Device". It will be detected instantly under "Add device", then press on "Add".
4. On the next step, your transformer will be added to the app. You can click "Done" at the bottom, or click on the "pen" to rename the product and add it to one of your rooms.
5. To access your lights remotely through Wi-Fi, start by selecting the transformer in your home to access its features. Then, click on the dropdown menu at the bottom of your screen. Choose between "Add existing" to select existing devices in your home or "Search for Devices" to scan for new devices. Follow the instructions for the selected option.
6. Optional: Follow step T4 (Page 3). Make sure the lights are in pairing mode (breath). They will automatically be linked to the transformer in the app. Note: With this method, the lights are linked to the transformer and will lose connection if they are unlinked from the transformer.
