Installation
1 Preparing the Cable
2 Connecting the Cable to the Transformer
Being careful when splitting NOT to expose the copper wire, remove the landscape wire insulation 1/2 in. from both wires and twist ends. Also, refer to strip length guide on the transformer.
Lay the transformer on a flat, stable surface and insert the stripped end of one wire under the terminal clamping plate "COM". Then tighten the screw. Repeat this procedure for clamping plate "12V" or "15V". See cable selection chart for correct voltage tap.
NOTE: Gently pull on the landscape wire to verify if the connection is strong.
NOTE: Verify that there are no loose cable strands.
WARNING: Risk of Fire Make sure there is no wire insulation under the clamping plate and firmly tighten the terminal screws.

Installation (continued)
3 4 Placing Your Fixtures and Routing the Cable
Attaching Your Fixtures
Lay your fixtures (not included) out where you want to locate them. Be sure they do not exceed the 200-watt rating of the transformer. Route the low voltage cable to the fixtures. If there is extra cable, coil after the last fixture.
WARNING: Risk of Fire Be sure to leave minimum of 10 feet (3m) of wire between the power pack and first fixture.
Turn the transformer on. Attach your fixtures to the cable to using cable connectors as shown. Place one connector on each side of the cable, then press together to lock. Prongs will pierce the cable to make contact and your fixtures should light up. Turn the transformer on. Attach your fixtures to the cable using the cable connectors as shown. Press the connector tight onto the cable until the prongs pierce the cable insulation. The fixture should light on.

5 Mounting the Transformer
6 Mounting the Photocell
To mount directly to a wall surface use the included screws (AA) as shown, suitable for mounting within 12 in. to 48 in. (0.3 m to 1.2 m) of the ground. When installing the screws, the spacing between the screw centers is 3.35 in. (85 mm). See the template (D) for correct spacing. Hang the transformer (A) onto the screws (AA).
Mount the photocell (B) bracket on a wall or other solid surface with the screws (BB) provided. Snap the sensor into the bracket. Route or coil the excess wire to protect it from lawn mowers, trimmers, etc. Avoid pointing the sensor at nighttime light sources such as windows, porch lights, and street lights.
Placing the sensor in areas receiving less sunlight at dusk (east side of house, behind trees and bushes, under a deck) will have the transformer come on earlier in the evening. Mounting the photocell in brighter locations will have the transformer come on when it has become darker out. The location, position and orientation of the photocell can be adjusted until the transformer turns on at the desired light level. If the wires to the photocell are cut or broken, the photocell can be replaced. Unscrew the photocell connector cover from the transformer and pull the bi-pin connector out of the mating socket. The replacement part is inserted into the socket and the cap is screwed back onto the socket to provide a water tight connection. Note that the bi-pin connector is polarized and can be inserted into the socket only one way. The photo eye operation can be tested by turning the transformer mode to TEST. Replacement photocell is available in the store. Cover the connection hole with the dust cap when no photocell control wire is connected.
7 Protecting or Hiding the Cable
Once all fixtures are in place and you are satisfied with their locations, the cable may be covered with mulch or buried up to 6 in. (15 cm) deep. Leave about 12 in. (30 cm) of cable after the last fixture.
WARNING: Risk of Fire DO not coil cable around transformer. Total bulb wattages must not exceed a maximum of 200 watts.
