First: P8270 Transformer
-
Ensure total fixture wattage does not exceed
45
watts.
Select transformer mounting location within 30
inches of an 120V, un-switched, GFCI protected outlet. Install mounting screws on 2 5/8 inch centers leaving enough space under the
screw heads to attach the transformer. Strip one end of the low-voltage cable 3/8 inch and separate the leads ½ inch. Push both leads
up into the cable connection point on the bottom and secure with set screws. Hang the transformer on the mounting screws. Install the
photo-control within 40" of the transformer where natural daylight is available. Be careful to aim away from any artificial light source.
Set Transformer Mode:
The P8270 has several operation choices.
Off
- turns lighting off.
On
- Lights will burn regardless of
time.
Dusk To Dawn
- Uses the photo-control to turn lights on at dusk and off at dawn.
Timer
Hours
- Use if you desire to turn lighting off during the night. Set to the number of "ON" hours you
wish. The photo-control will turn the lighting on when it gets dark and then off when the set number
of hours is reached.
Second: P8617 / P8626 Low-Voltage Cable
- Lay the main low-voltage cable along the path
where the light fixtures will be installed. The cable is available in 75ft (P8617) and 150ft (P8626)
lengths.
Third:
Place landscape fixtures in the desired locations and connect each to the main low-voltage cable. Place the plastic insert with
curved side down over the main low-voltage cable. While holding these together, slide the plastic insert down the connector guides until
the stainless steel stabs make contact with the low-voltage cable. Tighten the cap, taking care to properly thread, until the cable is
compressed on the stabs. If cable other than #14 is used care must be taken to align cable with stabs. By inverting the plastic insert,
#12 cable can be used.
