Do not instal within 10 feet of a pool, spa or fountain
CAUTION:
fixture(s) must be installed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
www.ABBALightingUSA.com
To ensure optimal performance and safety, it is
important to use our fixtures ONLY with a low
voltage
landscape
transformer.
This
transformer reduces the voltage from 120V to
12V, making it safe and suitable for outdoor use.
When installing the fixture(s), please follow
these instructions carefully:
1.Before installation, please ensure that
the power is turned off for your safety.
2.Hold the FIXTURE against the wall at the
desired height and orientation. Ensure it is level
and aligned according to your preferences.
3.Using a pencil or marker, carefully mark the
screw hole locations on the wall through the
holes in the metal plate.
4.Select an appropriately sized drill bit for the
pilot holes, which should match the diameter of
the screws you are using. It is recommended to
use a bit slightly smaller than the screws to
provide a secure grip.
5.Position the drill bit on each marked spot and
gently drill pilot holes into the wall at the
marked locations. Take care not to drill too
deep, ensuring the depth matches the length of
the screws.
6.For
concrete installation
, To begin, construct
conduit raceways inside the concrete formwork
by using one-inch dowels and PVC pipe before
pouring the concrete. After the concrete has
cured, remove the dowels and proceed to finish
the outer surface of each riser if you are
installing it in stairs.
Confirm that the metal plate is firmly and
evenly attached to the wall, without any
wobbling or misalignment.
Use a level to verify that the metal plate is
horizontally or vertically aligned, as desired.
11.Place the FIXTURE the wall, aligning the screw
holes with the pilot holes you created.
12.Take the screws and insert them through the
holes in the FIXTURE, one at a time. For deck
installation, position the metal plate carefully
within the hole.
13.Using a screwdriver, tighten the screws
gradually and evenly, ensuring a secure
attachment of the metal plate to the wall. Be
cautious not to overtighten and damage the wall
surface.
7.Strip the insulation: Carefully strip approximately
3/4 inch (1.9 cm) of insulation from the ends of the
two wires you wish to connect. Ensure that the bare
metal ends are clean and free from any frayed
strands.
8. Align the wires: Hold the stripped ends of the two
wires together, aligning them neatly and ensuring
that no stray strands are crossing over.
9. Insert the aligned ends of the wires into the wire
nut, ensuring that they go all the way in. The bare
ends should be completely covered by the wire
nut. Twist the wire nut: Firmly twist the wire nut
clockwise onto the wires, ensuring a secure
connection. Continue twisting until the wire nut is
tight and snug. For added safety, it is
recommended to apply electrical tape around the
wire nuts and wires as an extra layer of protection.
10.Test the connection: Gently tug on each wire to
ensure they are securely held by the wire nut.
We recommend using
WN12
waterproof wire
nuts (sold separately) for optimal connectivity.
