Installation
1
Mounting the controller
Wall Mounting:
□ Locate wall area in which you would like to install your
controller. Avoid pointing the sensor at nighttime light
sources such as windows, porch lights, and street
lights. Select a suitable mounting location within 24
ft. of the transformer, and 5 ft. from the nearest low
voltage power cable.
□ If mounting to a wall board or brick walls, drill a hole
on the wall, insert the plastic anchor (BB) into the
hole. Insert the mounting screw (AA) into the anchor
(BB), leaving about 1/4 in. of the screw (AA) sticking
out of the wall surface. Hang the controller body (A)
onto the screw (AA).
□ If mounting to a wood surface, insert the mounting
screws (AA) into the wall, leaving about 1/4 in. of the
screws (AA) sticking out of the wood surface. Hang
the controller body (A) onto the screw (AA).
Ground Mounting:
□ Locate ground area in which you would like to install
your controller. Avoid pointing the sensor at nighttime
light sources such as windows, porch lights, and
street lights. Select a suitable mounting location within
24 ft. of the transformer, and 5 ft. from the nearest low
voltage power cable.
□ Insert the ground stake (C) firmly into the ground at
the installation location. If the ground is too hard, soak
the ground with water to soften the ground or drive a
metal rod or screwdriver into the ground to create a
hole for the ground stake (C).
□ Connect the pole (B) to the ground stake (C).
□ Connect the controller body (A) to the pole (B).

Connecting the signal cable
to the transformer
□ If your transformer is already installed with an existing
remote photocell, unscrew the photocell connector
cover from the transformer and pull the bi-pin
connector out of the mating socket. If your transformer
is new without photocell control wire connected,
remove the dust cap covering the connector socket.
□ Carefully route the slim signal cable from the controller
body (A) and plug it into the mating socket on the
transformer. Screw the connector cap onto the socket
to provide a water tight connection. Route and coil the
excess wire to protect it from lawn mowers, trimmers,
etc. Note that the bi-pin connector is polarized and
can be inserted into the socket only one way.

Connecting the charging
cable to the low voltage cable
□
Your controller is provided with a Quick Clip wire
connector at the end of the 5 ft. long charging cable.
□
Place the wire connector on opposite sides of the
nearest low voltage cable where the controller will be
located (Fig. 1).
□
Press the wire connector together until fully seated
locked around the cable. Pre-set prongs will pierce the
cable insulation and establish contact.
□
Once the connector is in place, it is recommended to
wrap it with electrical tape (not included) for additional
protection. (Fig. 2).
NOTE: Our device allows either 12VAC or 15VAC
charging power input from the low voltage cable.
