CAUTION: PRIOR TO INSTALLATION,
PLEASE READ IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY
This transformer has an output rating of 120 Watts, 12 Volts AC. The maximum load (combined
wattage of all fixtures) connected to this transformer should not exceed 120 Watts.
MOUNTING THE TRANSFORMER
Using fasteners suitable for your mounting surface, mount no less than 20 inches above the
ground. Do not mount transformers in heavily shaded areas or where excessive ambient light will
affect the photocell. The transformer should be mounted outdoors and connected to a grounded
GFCI outdoor electrical outlet.
CONNECTING THE LOW VOLTAGE CABLE
Strip 3/8” of insulation off the ends of the low voltage cable. Insert stripped ends under pressure
plates. Tighten pressure plates securely onto the bare wire. (Fig. 2)
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Note: The timer settings for powering ON the transformer are controlled by a photocell. (Fig. 1)
Photocells are designed to recognize daylight and darkness. The photocell will automatically turn
power on at dusk and supply power for the designated time setting you select.
Open the clear cover on the front of unit. Rotate the timer rotary control switch to one of the six
positions. (Fig. 1 and 3)
“ON” turns the transformer ON for 24 hour operation.
“OFF” turns the transformer OFF.
“Auto” sets the transformer for “Dusk to Dawn” operation
(turns power ON at dusk and turns power OFF at dawn).
“4H” turns transformer ON at dusk for 4 hours operation.
“6H” turns transformer ON at dusk for 6 hours operation.
“8H” turns transformer ON at dusk for 8 hours operation.
CIRCUIT BREAKER
The transformer includes a resetable circuit breaker to protect against short circuits in the second-
ary field wiring. (Fig. 1) Should power turn off to the secondary unexpectedly, check for shorts in
the landscape wire and fixtures before resetting the circuit breaker.
