Alliance Intelligent Transformer Quick Start Guide
This Quick Start Guide gives you the basic mounting and device application (app) download instructions for your newly
purchased Alliance Intelligent Transformer ("it"). This unit is equipped to communicate using Bluetooth Smart and works
with your smart phone to make setup and programming your Intelligent Transformer quick and easy.
This unit is suitable for indoor or outdoor use. WARNING - Risk of Fire. If installation involves running wiring through a
building structure, special wiring methods are needed. Consult a qualified electrician.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock. Install power unit 5 feet (1.5m) or more from a pool, spa, or fountain. Where the power
unit is installed (a) indoors within 10 feet (3.0m) of a pool, spa, or fountain or (b) outdoors, connect power unit to a
receptacle protected by a GFCI. An outdoor power unit must use a GFCI protected hooded flush type cover plate
receptacle marked
“
Wet Location
”
.
WARNING - Do not use an extension cord. Transformer must be properly grounded per National Electric Code.
1.
Mount the "it" unit at least 12 inches (0.3m) off the ground and away from direct irrigation spray. Install in an
open air setting and do not bury. It is best to centrally locate the transformer between fixtures. Use the
mounting template at the top and bottom of this page to locate the screws to mount the
“
it
”
unit.
2.
Calculate total fixture load and add 10%. This total should not exceed the rated transformer output. Do not
overload. You will be able to verify the output load power using the
“
Power Meter
”
screen on the Alliance
“
it
”
app loaded onto your phone or tablet (see app download instructions below).
3.
You may use any combination of output terminal lugs for your fixture wiring. Use 12 gauge or larger direct
burial cable and strip insulation 3/8 inch (9.5mm) minimum, twist wire strands, and insert into terminal lug.
Each output lug will hold up to two 12 gauge wires. Tighten terminal lug screws firmly and re-tighten after
one week.
4.
Plug the "it" unit power cord into a live AC outlet. The green
“
POWER
”
LED will turn on when AC is present.
After completing the mounting instructions above, download, install and run the Alliance Outdoor Lighting app on your
smart phone. This step is required to complete the "it" setup.
1.
Verify that your smart phone is Bluetooth Smart capable (required for "it" compatibility).
2.
Turn your device Bluetooth and Location Services on.
3.
For Apple devices, go to the "App Store" or for Android devices go to the "Play Store" and search for
“
Intelligent Transformer
”
. The search should return with an app entitled "Alliance". Download the app to your
device.
4.
Plug the "it" unit into a live AC outlet. Open the Alliance
“
it
”
app on your smart phone. Select the "it" unit
serial number you are installing (the serial number will appear on the app and should match the serial
number on the transformer's ratings label).
5.
After selecting your unit, the yellow
“
BLUETOOTH CONNECTED
”
LED on the unit will begin to blink, indicating
that the unit has connected wirelessly via Bluetooth to your smart phone. The GPS coordinates of your
location and the current date/time are automatically transferred from your smart phone to the "it" once the
Bluetooth connection is made. The
“
DUSK TO DAWN
”
program is set as the default program. This program
will turn the lights on at dusk/sunset and off at dawn/sunrise all nights of the week. To choose a different
program or to define custom timer settings, visit the
“
Programs
”
screen on the Alliance
“
it
”
app.
Note: If your smart phone's location services are turned off, the Alliance

”
app will prompt you to enter the local
zip
code. Once the zip code is entered, the "it" location is automatically saved.
