Mounting Options

MOUNT

 unit in any of the following configurations: 

Do not recess. If you need a recessed unit, you need to order our QT series.

VOLTAGE DROP

• 

To minimize voltage drop the proper gauge wire must be pulled between     

the Q-Tran power supply and the load.

• 

Q-Tran offers a free voltage drop calculator on our website  

(www.q-tran.com) or you can download our free voltage drop app for 

iPhone, iPad or android devices (click link on our site).

• 

Below is a quick reference chart of minimum acceptable wire gauges.

(Q-Tran urges each installer to view our full calculator.)

BEFORE INSTALLING DOOR 

Please make sure the output voltage at the lamps is between 11.4–12 volts 

for a 12V system or 22.8–24 volts for a 24V system. Check this voltage with 

a true RMS volt meter & take voltage reading at the lamps.

CONNECT SECONDARY

(For detailed look at secondary, see Diagram B)

Connect low voltage fixtures in one of the following methods:

CONNECT PRIMARY

(For detailed look of primary, see Diagram A)

NOTE: 

Voltages are fixed and can only be changed at the 

factory. Voltages come in 120V, 230V or 277V.
