READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Before using the Wi-Fi Low Voltage Transformer.
Mac Address
If your router identifies by Mac address, please key in the code number shown in the code label of the unit (e.g., 3x:2x:7x:0x:Cx:Cx).
Compatible with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks
If you have multiple routers in your home, especially under the same modem and using dynamic IP address mode, please note that routers with the same LAN IP address may cause IP address conflict and prevent the involved routers from accessing the internet. This can make the Wi-Fi Low Voltage Transformer undiscoverable and uncontrollable via the internet (like using cellular data service).
Product Indicators and Controls
A diagram illustrates the transformer unit with numbered controls and indicators:
- Status Indicator 1: A small LED light.
- Blinking Light: Ready to connect to Wi-Fi router.
- Light continuously ON: Connection to Wi-Fi router is complete and Wi-Fi Low Voltage Transformer is ready for use via the app.
- Light OFF: Check your internet connection or review the app FAQ.
- Power Indicator 2: (Function not explicitly described in text, assumed to indicate power status).
- Power Button 3: A circular button on the unit. Press this button to manually override the Wi-Fi Low Voltage Transformer and turn the unit ON/OFF.
- Reset Button 4: A small recessed button on the unit, typically requiring a pin to press.
IMPORTANT: Please refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION before proceeding with Wi-Fi router connection. Wi-Fi Low Voltage Transformer must be installed before connecting to Wi-Fi router.
TO CONNECT THE Wi-Fi Low Voltage Transformer TO A WI-FI ROUTER
STEP 1: Download the ECO app
Scan the QR code to download the ECO app. You can also search "Eco Plug" and download it in the app store.
Two QR codes are displayed. One is labeled 'ANDROID APP ON Google play' and the other 'Download on the App Store', indicating links to download the ECO app.
STEP 2: Reset the Wi-Fi Low Voltage Transformer
If you decide to connect this device to a new router, or are having trouble setting up this device after multiple attempts, try resetting the Wi-Fi Low Voltage Transformer.
- Press and hold the Power button while pressing the Reset button with the tip of a toothpick or similar non-conductive item. Continue holding the Power button for 3-5 seconds until the Wi-Fi Status Indicator light turns off.
- When the Wi-Fi Status Indicator light turns off, release the Power button. The Wi-Fi Low Voltage Transformer has been reset.
- After a few seconds, the Wi-Fi Status Indicator light will begin blinking, and the Wi-Fi Low Voltage Transformer is ready to be reconnected to the Wi-Fi router via the app.
This process clears any programmed settings, disconnects the app connection to the Wi-Fi router, and restores the Wi-Fi Low Voltage Transformer to the factory default setting.
STEP 3: Connect to the Transformer's Wi-Fi network
Open the Wi-Fi connection settings of your smartphone, select "ECO-XXXXXXXX", and click to connect.
STEP 4: Register and Log In to the ECO App
Open the ECO app, register an account as required, and log in. A screenshot of the ECO app login screen shows fields for 'Email address' and 'Password', with 'Skip', 'Login', 'Forgot your password?', and 'Create one here' options.
STEP 5: Select Your Home Wi-Fi Router
Open the ECO app and select the home Wi-Fi router that you want to link to the Wi-Fi Low Voltage Transformer. NOTE: It may take a few seconds for network communication.
A "Choose a Network" screen is shown, listing available networks like "Home Router", "Other Router A", and "Other Router B", along with the device name "Device [ECO-XXXXXXXX] Ver: XXX".
STEP 6: Enter Network Information
Fill in the required information. US residents enter your five-digit ZIP code; Canadian residents enter your three-digit telephone number area code. Enter a name for your device (e.g., "such as lamp or fan"). Enter your Wi-Fi Router (WLAN) name and Wi-Fi Router Password (if needed).
When finished filling in the information, click the SAVE SETTINGS or JOIN button. (On iOS: if you can't find the JOIN button, click in the "Password" box).
STEP 7: Connection Succeeded
The status indicator light will remain on continuously to indicate that Wi-Fi connection has been established and the Wi-Fi Low Voltage Transformer is accessible via the app.
A smartphone screen displays the ECO app interface. It shows a list of connected devices, including 'Transformer 1', 'Transformer 2', etc., with options for Timer, Setting, More, and Electric Bill.
Managing Multiple Devices and Users
To Add Multiple Users To The ECO APP
Link to the same home router as used by the first smartphone or tablet; repeat step 4 for each additional user.
To Add Additional Wi-Fi Low Voltage Transformers To The APP
Repeat steps 2-7 for each additional Wi-Fi Low Voltage Transformer. Remember to give each transformer a different name (for example, Transformer 1, Transformer 2, Transformer 3, etc.).
Note: You can connect to a maximum of twelve (12) Wi-Fi Low Voltage Transformers via the app.
Selecting Which Device To Control
If you have multiple Wi-Fi Low Voltage Transformers connected to the app, you can choose which device you want to access (such as Transformer 1, Transformer 2, Transformer 3, etc.). To select the device, slide the desired icon to the lower left position. The Wi-Fi Low Voltage Transformer's name (such as "Transformer 1" below) will change color from white to yellow. The chosen device is now able to be programmed or edited, such as changing timer settings, updating cloud service, etc.
Screenshots show the app interface with multiple transformers listed and how sliding an icon changes its color.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Information to Reduce Risk of Fire Injury
- Do not install within 10 feet (3 m) of a pool, spa, or fountain.
- There are no serviceable parts inside the power supply unit. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE.
- Do not repair or tamper with the cord or plug.
- Do not submerge the transformer in water.
- Do not mount the transformer onto combustible material.
- Do not connect two or more transformers in parallel.
- Do not use the transformer with a dimmer switch.
- Plug the power supply unit directly into a GFCI wet location outlet.
- For use with low voltage outdoor landscape lighting system only.
- The maximum output of this transformer is 120 watts. Do not overload the transformer. Be sure that the total cumulative wattage of all 12 volt fixtures connected to the transformer is equal to or less than 120 watts.
CAUTION: This landscape light system must be installed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If you are experiencing problems, contact a qualified electrician.
CALCULATION LIGHTING CAPACITY
The 120 Watt transformer has circuits that will power up to 120 watts of light. To ensure the maximum number of fixtures can be safely connected to this transformer, add up the individual wattages of all the fixtures. The total wattage of your fixtures must not exceed the output capacity of the 120 Watt transformer.
INSTALLATION
1. Preparing the Cable
Being careful when splitting it. NOT to expose the copper cable. Remove the landscape cable insulation 1/2 inch (12.7mm) from both cables and twist ends.
A diagram illustrates preparing the cable: showing the cable being split, and 1/2 inch (12.7mm) of insulation being removed from the wires.
2. Connecting the Cable to the Transformer
Lay the transformer on a flat, stable surface and use a screwdriver to connect the stripped ends of the cable under the terminal clamping plate. A diagram shows the transformer's internal terminal block where stripped cable ends are connected. Another diagram shows a 'X' symbol over a connection point, possibly indicating an incorrect connection method.
NOTE: Gently pull on the landscape cable to verify if the connection is strong.
3. Placing Your Fixtures and Routing the Cable
Lay your fixtures (not included) to your desired location. Be sure they do not exceed the 120-watt rating of the transformer. Coil the rest of the cable after the last fixture.
A diagram depicts an outdoor landscape scene with multiple light fixtures connected by a cable to the transformer unit.
4. Attaching Your Fixtures
Turn the transformer on. Use the cable connectors to attach your fixtures with the cable. Then it will light up.
5. Mounting the Transformer
Use the screw to mount the transformer directly on a wall. Mounting 12 inch to 48 inch (0.3 m to 1.2 m) high from the ground is suggested.
A diagram shows the transformer unit being mounted on a wooden fence post using screws, with a power outlet nearby.

Total Fixture Wattage | 0-50 feet | 51-100 feet | 100-150 feet |
---|---|---|---|
0-60 Watts | 16 AWG | 16 AWG | 14 AWG |
61-120 Watts | 16 AWG | 14 AWG | 12 AWG |
121-180 Watts | 14 AWG | 12 AWG | Not Recommended |
181-240 Watts | 14 AWG | 12 AWG | Not Recommended |
