Instruccions d'instal·lació

Muntatge del transformador

Mount the transformer in a suitable outdoor location, ensuring it is not submerged in water. The black polymeric enclosure is designed to resist corrosion. Securely fasten the unit to a stable surface, such as a wall.

Connexions de cablejat

Use the easy-connect terminal blocks for wiring your landscape lighting system. Ensure all connections are secure and comply with local electrical codes. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your lighting fixtures for specific connection points.

Calculating Voltage Gota

Voltage drop can affect lamp brightness, especially over longer wire runs. To minimize voltage drop and maximize light output, keep wire runs as short as possible. Use the following equation to calculate voltage drop for your system:

A (length of wire in feet) x B (total watts for all lamps on that wire run) = C (cable constant)

Cable Constants by Wire Gauge:

  • 10 gauge: 11920
  • 12 gauge: 7500 (Maximum 250 watts or 200 feet)
  • 14 gauge: 3500 (Maximum 200 watts or 150 feet)
  • 16 gauge: 2200 (Maximum 150 watts or 100 feet)
  • 18 gauge: 1380
