INSTALLATION AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS HC-669
WARNING: Besure the electricity to the wires you are
working on is shut off; either the fuse removed or the circuit
breaker off.
This plug in electronic transformer has (2) Class II outputs
(each 60w max), for this transformer to operate the wattage
load must be a minimum of 15w, but must not exceed 60w on
each output.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION OF THE
AMBIANCE®TRANSFORMER
TRANSFORMER INSTALLATION
Select the desired location to mount the transformer (not in
contact with insulation & away from oven or any other source
of intense heat). Using the two screws (provided), fasten the
transformer and mounting tab to the mounting
surface.
FOR PROPER OPERATION OF AN ELECTRONIC
TRANSFORMER,THE WATTAGE LOAD MUST FALL
WITHINTHE SPECIFIED RANGE. IF THE LOAD DOES NOT
FALL WITHIN THIS RANGE,THE TRANSFORMER MAY
MALFUNCTION OR LAMPS MIGHT FLICKER.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This transformer has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other).As a safety feature,this plug will fit
in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.Never
use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully
inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
LOWVOLTAGE OUTPUT CONNECTIONS (12vac)
Insert plug from 9836 fixture or 9858 disk lights (not included)
into transformer plug outlet.
To control transformer, install ON/OFF switch or good quality
low voltage electronic dimmer on the 120V side of
transformer.
DO NOT NAIL OR SCREW THROUGH CABLE TO ATTACH
TO A SURFACE. Use 9430 sleeving to cover wire when going
through holes in combustible materials, or notch the cabinet
wall.
NOTE: As with all electronic transformers, there is a
potential for Radio Frequency Interference (R.F.I.).To
reduce R.F.I., rotate the electronic transformer in relation
to the input line, or switch to a magnetic
transformer.
INSTALLING SWITCH ON 120V CORD
NOTE: Switch must be mounted a least 1 1/2” away from
any metal parts.
NOTE: When parallel wire (SPT II) is used, the tracer wire
is square shaped or ridged and the non-tracer wire is
round in shape or smooth (seen best when viewed from
wire end).
1. Split 120v cord as illustrated (FIGURE 3). Cut the
non-tracer (or smooth) wire. Be sure to cut only the
smooth non-tracer wire.
2. Remove the screw from the switch and take the switch
apart.
3. Place the wires in part A (without the wheel) as shown.
Tuck the cut wire down one end on each side of the
barrier.
4. Press both halves of the switch back together. Note that
the points pierce insulation to make contact with copper
inside wire.
5. Place screw back into center hole and secure in place
with nut.
1. Cut off end of 120v cord cleanly and evenly. CAUTION: Do
not separate wires. Do not remove or damage
insulation (Figure 2).
2. Press cord, with ridged side to the right (tracer wire),
down and into front of plug.
3. Press cord down onto metal prongs.
4. Slide plug cover over cord and plug until plug cover is
centered over plug.
