SAFETY GUIDELINES
Low voltage installation and maintenance is safe and presents no
risk for electric shock injury. However, there are regulations that
may apply and that should be followed by installers. The following
safety points may or may not be included in these regulations - the
installer is responsible for ensuring a compliant installation.
●WARNING- RISK OF SHOCK. Install power unit at least 5 feet
(1.5m) from pool or spa and at least 10 feet (3.05m) from a
fountain.
●WARNING- install power unit in or on non-combustible
materials only.
●Power supply must be connected (using supplied power cord)
to GFCI-protected receptacle with an In-use cover.
●All VOLT®power supplies are indoor and outdoor rated, but
we recommend that the transformer be mounted outdoors. If
mounting indoors, check for local electrical codes that may
apply.
●Power supply must be mounted in a vertical orientation with
the bottom plate at least 1 foot above the ground.
●In hot climates, avoid mounting in direct sunlight.Power
unit will get hot regardless of climate. This is normal for
operation.

Open the shipping carton and carefully remove the
transformer, accessories, and hardware. Note that
transformer mounting hardware is not included. Inspect
contents for any damage that may have occured during
shipping.
Mounting Hardware
not included
The general capacity should have been determined prior to
purchasing the transformer. Circuit loads should not exceed 80%
of capacity. As a general rule, total light xture wattage should
not exceed 80% of the transformer capacity. To determine the
total wattage, simply add up the wattage of all fixture lamps.
This number should be 20% less than the transformer's wattage
capacity. If you need help with this, please call customer service
at 813-978-3700.If you are over capacity, your installation may
require a secondary or larger transformer.

Quick Start Guide Steps
1. Read the safety instructions and upack the transformer.
2. Mount the transformer.
3. Run the wires from the transformer location to the xtures or hubs.
4. Attach all the wires to the transformer terminals. For each paired wire,
attach one side to a common terminal and the other side to the voltage
terminal.
5. Check to ensure all of the connections are secure.
6. Plug in the transformer.
7. Flip the ON/OFF breaker switch upward to power on the transformer.
8. Check that the transformer pilot light and timer pilot light are both on.
9. Turn the timer clockwise to the manual "On" mode.
10. Check to ensure all the xtures are on and functioning properly.
11. Measure the voltage at the xtures or hubs.
12. If needed, use another voltage terminal (some transformers only have
one).
13. Set the timer to the desired function.
14. Close the transformer door using the locking mehanism to seal the unit
from weather and debris.
15. At Dusk, make any last minute adjustments to the xtures. Bury the
wire only after the adjustments have been made.
