Easy Design Guide
Use the Easy Design Guide to help determine the best way to wire your fixtures to create optimal results in the
illumination of your home. Follow these simple rules for best results:
1.
It is recommended that you use
2 MAIN SUPPLY CABLE
runs from the transformer for best results and
easiest installation, especially when you need to install fixtures on both sides of the transformer.
2.
For short distances from the transformer (under 60 feet), only a single
MAIN SUPPLY CABLE
may be used to
install this LED system for even easier installation. If the transformer is located on one end of the house,
simply run a cable from the transformer to the various lights, leaving a little extra slack to make burying the
cable easy.
3.
DO NOT EXCEED the MAXIMUM WATTAGE
listed for each length of MAIN SUPPLY CABLE used or the
voltage at the fixtures will be lower than required causing the LED to flicker or not light at all. If any lights,
especially on the end of the
MAIN SUPPLY CABLE,
do not light or experiences flickering, make sure the
transformer is on the HIGH setting (See #4 below) and check to make sure the quick connectors on each
light fixture are properly installed and are making a good connection.
4.
Use the
HIGH SETTING
on the transformer to boost the secondary voltage for this system to provide
additional voltage. (See details in Transformer Installation Sheet)
5.
SHORTER lengths for the MAIN SUPPLY CABLE lowers
voltage drop on the line while
LONGER lengths
increases
the voltage drop. Use the Line Length/Wattage Chart below to determine the maximum wattage
load for various lengths of the MAIN SUPPLY CABLE.
6.
The total wattage for the CS8100-LED 8-Light System is less than 40 watts
, providing ample room on the
standard 100 watt transformer to add additional CS Professional Series LED fixtures to expand your system.
The chart below will help determine the maximum amount of fixtures you can have on the system when you
add up the total wattage from all fixtures on the line / system
(DO NOT EXCEED 100 WATTS TOTAL)
