THIS INSTRUCTIONS APPLY TO MODELS:
TR-150SS-15, TR-300SS-15 AND TR-600SS-15
SAFETY:
This fixture must be installed in accordance with the National Electric Code and local code specifications.
Failure to follow these codes and installation instructions will void the warranty and may result in serious
injury and/or damage to the fixture. This product is designed for above ground installation only. Keep these
instructions for future use.
WARNING!
Risk of fire or electrical shock. Install the transformer at least 5 feet (1.5m) from pool or spa and at
least 10 feet (3.05m) from a fountain.
This transformer must be connected to GUCCI-protected receptacle. If the receptacle is outdoors then it must
be protected by an in-used weather-proof cover.
All transformers are indoor and outdoor rated, but we recommend the transformer be mounted outdoors. If
mounted indoors, then codes should be followed that apply to indoor wiring - especially for wires that pass
through exterior walls.
Transformer must be mounted in a vertical orientation with the bottom plate at least 1 feet from ground.
It is normal for the unit to become hot, do not allow contact with PVC or plastic sidings. In hot climates, avoid
mounting in direct sunlight, but allow photocell to be exposed to sky. Near salt-water, protect unit by
enclosing in weather-proof structure.
CIRCUIT BREAKER:
This product has a built in circuit breaker to help protect against electrical short circuits. This does not
prevent the need to use GFCI outlets marked for “wet location.” It also does not prevent the requirement to
follow all local and electrical building codes for the main circuit breaker protection.
If a circuit break occurs, immediately disconnect the transformer from the power source. Make all repairs to
the lighting system that cause the circuit breaker to trip. Once the problem has been determined and fixed,
reset the breaker by switching to the on position.
