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.
Artificial light affecting the
sensor e.g. street lights.
Mount the sensor where the
artificial lights will not affect the
sensor.

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 tier lights will be
positioned, starting at the position where the
transformer is to be located.
Assembly of Lights :
1. Screw the post on to the head, ensuring the
post is fully tightened.
2. Attach the ground spike, ensuring the cable is
positioned in the slot.
3. Repeat for the remaining lights.
4. At the point where you
want to locate the Tier
lights, attach the Tier
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.
5. Repeat for the remaining Tier lights.
Ensure you have followed all of the steps
above and the Tier lights are fully assembled
and connected to the low voltage cable
before connecting the low voltage 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 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 terminals 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 lighting 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 lights from the sensor.
Lamp Replacement
1. Switch off the power supply to the transformer
and ensure the lamp is cool before handling.
2. Remove the three screws in the underside of
the Tier light fitting head and remove the shade
rings.
3. Unscrew the glass dome and remove.
4. Replace the lamp with a lamp of the same style
and rating.
5. Re-assemble in reverse order.
