RUN THE LANDSCAPE WIRE (SOLD SEPARATELY)
To ensure proper installation of the landscape wire, please follow these
guidelines:
When running the landscape wire, make sure it extends directly from the
transformer to each light without any cuts or interruptions. This uncut wire
connection helps maintain a consistent and reliable electrical flow
throughout the lighting system.
Exercise caution and avoid running the wire within a proximity of 10 feet (3
meters) to any pools, spas, or fountains. This safety measure prevents any
potential hazards associated with water and electrical components. It is
important to prioritize the safety of individuals and the proper functioning
of the electrical system.
In the event that the landscape wire is longer than needed, you may need to
trim it to the appropriate length. To cut the wire, use a cable cutter
specifically designed for this purpose. Ensure that the cable cutter is
suitable for the wire's gauge and thickness. Following the manufacturer's
instructions, carefully cut the wire to the desired length.
By adhering to these instructions, you will ensure the integrity and safety of
the landscape wire installation. The wire should remain uncut as it runs from
the transformer to each light, while maintaining a safe distance from pools,
spas, or fountains. If necessary, use a cable cutter to trim the wire to the
required length.
When selecting the cable gauge, consider the distance between the
transformer and the lighting fixtures. It is crucial to choose an appropriate
gauge to ensure efficient power transmission and minimize voltage drop.
Please note that this chart provides general recommendations, and it is
essential to consider specific factors such as the power requirements of your
lighting system and any local electrical codes or regulations that may apply.
Consulting with a qualified electrician can provide further guidance and
ensure the proper selection of cable gauges for your specific installation.
Please ensure that you do not exceed the capacity of the transformer as it can lead to
overheating and overload, potentially reducing its lifespan. It is recommended to utilize
only up to 85% of the transformer's capacity.
