Do not exceed the maximum electrical output rating of each unit listed below. 

Model Input 

Output

 

pLX-PL60 

120 VAC, 60 Hz, 0.6A max 

12-13 VAC, 60 Watt max

pLX-PL100

Use a 15 Amp, 120VAC GFCI Circuit Breaker for input power. 

ELECTRICAL PROTECTION MEASURES

Dual Internal Fuses
1)  Self-Resetting Thermal Fuse:

 This fuse keeps the unit from overheating in instances where a 

load in excess of the transformer’s capacity is present for an extended period of time. Once normal 
operating temperatures return, the unit will reset and operation will continue. 

2)  Current Fuse: 

This fuse shuts down the low-voltage output of the transformer during an 

abnormal electrical condition (i.e. “Short”).  This fuse has a higher trigger threshold than the 
Replaceable Current Fuse and serves as a fail-safe for the Replaceable Current Fuse to ensure that 
an abnormal electrical condition does not lead to an unsafe operating condition. 

Replaceable Current Fuse* 

This field replaceable part is the primary protection against abnormal electrical conditions. This fuse has a 
lower trigger threshold than the Internal Current Fuse and is designed to blow first in the event of a short 
and helps reduce whole transformer replacement due to field induced shorts (“sparking wires”), as well 
as, other abnormal electrical conditions.  In addition, this fuse is fast acting which helps protect against 
abnormal electrical conditions that can lead to an unsafe operating condition.

*ONLY USE SR SMITH REPLACEMENT FUSES:

1.  Circular hole saw for installation of 3/4" and or 1" non-metallic conduit depending on 

installation requirements. 

Do not use spade bits for opening the conduit knockouts.

2.  Application appropriate and approved ‘rain-tight’ or ‘wet location’ conduit hubs. 

3.  Additional duct seal may be required for three or more conduit installations. 

 

* Note:

 Every installation will have at least two conduits - one for input power and one for 

output power. Most installations will likely have several output power conduits.  

4.  Slotted screwdriver, size #2

5.  Phillips screwdriver, size #2 

6.  Drill

7.  #10 Screws appropriate for installing the product onto a wall 

(installer supplied)

 

 

* Note:

 It is recommend to hand tighten all screw terminals and screw fasteners inside the 

enclosure and front cover until snug and secure. Be sure not to overtighten as permanent 
damage may occur.
