Thank you for your purchase of Premier Lights.
The Premier garden lighting range offers the ideal
lighting effect to any garden and feature
weatherproof transformers that can be positioned
outside safely. The transformer is equipped with
a photo-cell which switches the lights on at dusk
and off at dawn. These Marker lights can either
be positioned in the ground using the ground
spikes provided, or fixed to solid surface such as
decking, your patio etc. Keep a copy of these
instructions for future reference.
Please read these instructions fully
before commencing the installation:

Problem Suggested RemedyPossible Cause
1. Lights will not switch on at
dusk.
No power. Ensure transformer is plugged in
and power is switched on.
2. Only some of the lights
switch on at dusk.
Terminal spikes in the light power
connector have not made contact
with the core of the cable.
Straighten the terminal spikes and
reattach the power connector to
the low voltage lighting cable.
Low voltage cable has not been
connected to the transformer.
Ensure the low voltage cable is
connected to the transformer.
Lamp not correctly fitted into the
lampholder.
Ensure the lamp is correctly
fitted.
The lamp has blown. Replace the lamp.
Artificial light affecting the
sensor e.g. street lights.
Mount the sensor where the
artificial lights will not affect the
sensor.
Trouble Shooting :

Mounting Slots
Kit Contents :
ACLS-1T
4 Marker Lights
4 Threaded Caps
4 Inserts
4 Ground Spikes
2 Fixing Screw Packs
5 12W 12V Lamps
1 96W Transformer
15m approx. Cable
Installation :
1. Locate the transformer in a suitable position,
considering that the transformer has to be
plugged in indoors.
2. Unwind and lay out the cable to its full length
along the line where the path lights will be
positioned, starting at the position where the
transformer is to be located.
Assembly of Lights :
1. Ensuring the lens is fully tightened.
2. Decide if the lights are going to be fixed in
place using either the ground spike or fixed
directly to a solid surface. If they are going to
be located in the ground, attach the ground
spike and place in
position. If they are
going to be fixed
onto a solid surface,
then screw them in
position, ensuring
the cable is located
in the slot.
3. Repeat for the
remaining lights.
4. At the point where
you want to locate
the Marker lights,
attach the Marker
light power
connector by the following method. Place the
plastic insert in the wiring channel, aligning the
holes with the terminal spikes. Lay the cable in
the plastic insert so that the terminal spikes
align with the centre of each core of the cable.
Whilst holding the cable in place, screw on the
threaded cap. The cap will force the terminal
spikes to pierce the cable, holding it in place.
6. Repeat for the remaining Marker lights.
Ensure you have followed all of the steps
above and the Marker lights are fully
assembled and connected to the low voltage
cable before connecting the low voltage
lighting cable to the transformer.
Transformer Installation :
1. The recommended transformer mounting
location is a minimum of 30cm above the
ground and located where its power cord is
within reach of a standard 230V power socket
outlet located indoors, or a suitable
weatherproof socket if used outdoors.
The transformer is equipped with a photo-cell
which will automatically turn the lights on at
dusk and off at dawn. To accurately do this,
the photo-cell must be mounted (using the
screws provided) in an area where it will be
exposed to the natural light of the rising and
setting sun. Avoid heavily shaded areas or
areas where artificial light may shine onto the
photo-cell. Light from automobiles,
streetlights, porch light, etc. may cause your
lights to turn off prematurely.
Note : the photo-cell may be mounted
horizontally or vertically. If you chose to
mount the transformer indoors, the photo-cell
must be placed in a window.
2. You may hang the transformer indoors or
outdoors on a wall, fence, post etc. by using
the screws provided. The screw locations are
to be positioned so they will slide onto the
slots on the rear of the transformer.
There are not any user serviceable parts within
the transformer.
Wiring Instructions :
1. Strip away 15mm of insulation off of both wires
at one end only of the low voltage lighting
cable.
2. Remove the terminal cover at the bottom of the
transformer. Loosen the two terminal screws
and wrap one of the stripped wires around each
terminal screw. Tighten the screw ensuring that
all strands of the wire at captured under the
terminal screw heads. Replace the terminal
cover.
Do not loop the low voltage cable back to the
transformer.
The transformer may now be plugged into an
appropriate socket. Please note the lights will
not come on until dusk. If you require the lights
not to be operated by the photo-cell on the
transformer, it may be wrapped in insulation
tape to shut out the light from the sensor.
Lamp Replacement :
1. Switch off the power supply to transformer and
ensure the lamp is cool before handling.
2. Unscrew the post from the base.
3. Replace the lamp with a lamp of the same style
and rating.
4. Reassemble in reverse order.
