Installing The Transformer - HAMPTON BAY HD28905 Guía De Uso Y Cuidado

Assembly and Installation (Continued)
□ Place the wire connector (L) on opposite sides of the low
voltage cable (O) where the fixture will be located.
□ Align and fit the main low voltage cable (O) vertically to the
slot of the wire connector (L) as shown.
□
Press the wire connector (L) together until fully seated and
locked around the cable (O). Pre-set prongs will pierce the
cable insulation and establish contact. Turn on the power unit.
If the light fixture does not turn on, repeat the previous steps.
□ Once the clip-on connector (L) is in place, wrap it with
electrical tape for additional protection.
□ CAUTION BE CAREFUL! THE WIRE STABS ARE VERY SHARP!
□ After all fixtures are installed, turn on the transformer.

Installing the transformer

□
This transformer is weatherproof and suitable for outdoor use.
□
Install the transformer (N) at a level where the controls are
visible and accessible.
□ Do not install behind shrubs. It will affect the photocell.
□ Photocell will not operate properly if installed too close to a
nighttime light source.
□
MOUNT AT LEAST 12 INCHES (30CM) ABOVE GROUND

Connecting the cable to the transformer
□ Remove the landscape wire (O) insulation 1/2 in. from both
wires and twist ends.
Insert wires under each terminal plate on the transformer (N)
□
and tighten screws.
□ Gently pull on the landscape wire to verify if the connection is
strong.
□ Verify that there are no loose cable strands.

How to operate the transformer controls
PHOTOCELL
This component reacts to light conditions. It should not have direct
contact with any other light sources. A 30 second delay may be experi-
enced when light conditions change.
To test the system during day time, simply cover the photocell with
black tape.
DIGITAL TIMER CONTROLS
Use the UP and DOWN
following settings:
Power: Whenever the
voltage side of the transformer.
Constant power ON: This switches the system on 24 hours a day.
AUTO: This switches the system on at dusk and off at dawn,
automatically.
AUTO TIMER: This switches the system on at dusk and off after the
selected number of hours.
Flashing Minor Overload: The load on the transformer exceeds
it's capacity. Reduce the load by removing fixtures from the
low voltage line. Failure to do so will reduce the lifetime of
the transformer.
DISPLAY OFF - MAJOR OVERLOAD OR SHORT CIRCUIT
If the display is off and that the utility voltage is still present the trans-
former is majorly overloaded. The major overload feature will shut off
the low voltage output of the power unit, if the circuit is overloaded
with too many fixtures. This will result when the total wattage of all
lights of the system exceeds 120 Watts. The major overload shut off
will also happen if there is a short circuit in your garden lighting sys-
tem. A short circuit can occur if the secondary cable connecting the
fixtures to the power supply is cut or if the exposed ends touch a
metal post or water. After you have determined and solved the prob-
lem, you can restart the operation by pressing the
display is off and that the utility voltage is still present the transformer
is majorly overloaded.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of FIRE OR INJURY TO PERSONS:
WARNING: Do not install within 10 ft. (3 m) of a pool, spa or fountain.
WARNING: There are no serviceable parts inside the power supply unit. DO NOT
DISASSEMBLE.
WARNING: Do not submerge the transformer.
WARNING: Do not connect two or more transformers in parallel.
WARNING: Plug the power supply unit directly into a GFCI outlet that is marked
"wet location".
WARNING: The maximum output of this transformer is 120 watts. Do not overload
the transformer. Be sure that the total cumulative wattage of all 12 volt fixtures
connected to the transformer is equal to or less than 120 watts.
WARNING: This garden light system must be installed in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. If you are experiencing problems, contact a qualified
electrician.
WARNING: For use with 12 volt low voltage outdoor landscape lighting system only.
Not for use with submersible light or pool/spa equipment.
WARNING: Do not use with a dimmer.
WARNING: Do not use an extension cord.
