3. Using 12-15V output from host, connect min. 12-2 low voltage cable to
LCS input terminals.
4. Connect low voltage fixtures to three LCS output zones up to 150W total.
5. Energize host transformer output.

LCS AND TRANSFORMER CONNECTION DETAIL
1. Confirm host transformer is connected to 120V source, the source is
energized, and its output circuit breaker is on.
2. LCS is a low voltage device. Connect host transformer output to LCS input.
For normal function, LCS input range must be 11-20VAC. CAUTION - Do
not connect line voltage! Controller damage will result and warranty void!
3. Ensure LCS front panel green input power LED is on.
4. With low voltage fixtures disconnected, test LCS output by switching
“ON/OFF/APP” rocker switch to ON. All three LCS green output LED’s
should be on and connected lamps should be on.
5. LCS front panel WiFi LED should be solid green indicating proper
connection to your local WiFi network. Unit will not function without a
strong network connection.
6. Lamps pulsating slowly? Your LCS may be overloaded. In the app, check
above the Zone group for an OVERLOAD indicator in RED. On the LCS
front panel, an amber input power LED will also appear. If either indicator
disappears after setting each Zone to HI or below, reduce load by
removing lamps or reducing their individual wattage.
7. Return switch to APP position for WiFi connected control and operation.
