2.2 Mounting Instructions
The Safety Volt Transformer is designed as an above-ground, surface-mounted device. Do not install this device inside a
wall, under ground, in a pool deck, or where rising water can occur. A cover can be used as long as adequate ventilation
is provided for cooling. Follow code UL-506 and any applicable local codes when installing this device.
1) Remove applicable knockouts for incoming and outgoing wiring from the enclosure.
2) Plan to install the enclosure perpendicular on the wall with sufficient clearance around enclosure for
proper ventilation. See Figure 3 for unit dimensions. The enclosure should be a minimum of one (1) foot
above ground or deck level.
3) Confirm the enclosure will be attached to a stable surface that will hold the weight of the enclosure and
any related wiring or components. Also confirm placement will not damage any underlying equipment
behind enclosure.
4) Utilize the enclosure to mark mounting hole drill points on wall.
5) Drill holes and install any applicable screw anchors.
6) Position the enclosure again, then insert and tighten mounting screws into the drilled holes. Do not over-
tighten.

2.3 Wiring Instructions
2.3.a Incoming voltage
1) Based on the transformer’s specifications and the appropriate local code, determine the required input
voltage of the unit. Ensure the circuit breaker panel feeding the input of the transformer will handle the
extra load and the circuit breaker is properly dimensioned.
2) Based on the transformer’s specifications, determine the wire gauge to be used on the input of the
transformer.
3) Feed incoming voltage wiring through knockout and into primary wiring compartment. Refer to wiring
diagram on the inside cover of the transformer for correct hook-up to primary wiring contacts.
4) Use the grounding lug located between the primary and secondary wiring compartment to properly
ground the transformer and light fixtures.
