on the selected hours setting.
Note: Prior to installing and powering the transformer, a safety approved GFCI receptacle
and GFCI watertight protective cover must be installed by a qualified electrician. GFCI
receptacle and cover must be mounted a minimum of 12 in. (0.3 m) above ground level.
The transformer must be mounted at least 1 ft. (0.3 m) above ground level.

Installing the transformer
□
SAFE
Mount the transformer
□
Option 1: Standard wall mounting
Insert the included support screw (H) in a wall near an electrical
outlet and mount the transformer.
□
Option 2: Brick or cement wall mounting
Drill a 5/16 in. (8 mm) hole in a wall near an electrical outlet and
place the plastic anchor (I) included. Insert the screw in the
anchor
until it has about 1/4 in. (6 mm) of space left to mount the
transformer.
□
Place the wire connector (E) on opposite sides of the low
voltage cable (G) where the fixture will be located.
□
Align and fit the main low voltage cable (G) vertically to the
slot of the wire connector (E) as shown.
□
Press the wire connector (E) together until fully seated and
locked around the cable (G). Pre-set prongs will pierce the
cable insulation and establish contact. Turn on the power unit.
If the light fixture does not turn on, repeat previous steps.
□
Once the clip-on connector (E) is in place, wrap it with
electrical tape for additional protection.
□
After all fixtures are installed, turn on the transformer.
