Things To Consider Before Installation
Things To Consider Before Installation (cont..)
Please read carefully: Read through these instructions completely before commencing installation. Retain for future use.
STEP 1
CHOOSE YOUR LIGHTS
You can add LED and halogen lights on the same cable so you can mix
and match.
STEP 2
CHOOSE A TRANSFORMER
Add up the wattage of the lights you selected, then choose a transformer
with a wattage higher than the total wattage of the lights.
STEP 3
CHOOSE A CABLE
The Accessories section below will help you determine the best cable for your
installation.
■Installing your transformer outdoors - while HPM RGL Series transformers
are rated IP56, your powerpoint might not be waterproof. So, if installing
outdoors ensure the transformer is mounted in a semi protected area or fit
with HPM Aqua Series.
■All HPM RGL series transformers are fitted with “Self Resetting Thermal
Overload Protection” which will shut down the system when overheating
occurs. Once the unit has cooled, the transformer will automatically restart.
■Do not power ON until all wiring is completed.
■Always choose a transformer of a higher rating than total load of all
lights put together.
■ When installing 12V garden lights, a transformer is required to reduce the 240V
mains voltage to the extra low voltage (12V) used by HPM D.I.Y. garden lights.
■Transformer selection is simple – just add up the total wattage of the garden
lights in your installation and choose the next highest rating for
your transformer.
■If mixing halogen and LED globes then follow equation below to determine
the right size transformer.
(Number of LED globes x Wattage x 2) + (Number of halogen
globes x Wattage) = total wattage of the required transformer
■For example, 10W halogen light + 20W halogen light + 10W halogen light +
(3W LED light x 2) + (2W LED light x 2) = 50W. In this case, RGLTR60 can be used.
■For a 60VA transformer, you can use up to 60W of halogen
lamps or 30W of LED lamps.

Problems Explanation Possible solution
Lights are dim
This occurs with any garden light set-up and is referred to
as ”Voltage Drop”. Each light connected to the cable will
reduce in brightness in relation to the number of lights
preceding it and by the distance, it is away from the
transformer.
a. Do not exceed the rating of your transformer.
b. Limit the number of lamps on long runs of cable.
c. Use the shortest length of cable you can or divide lights evenly using two or more
lengths of cable.
d. Use thicker cable.
Transformer
Switches off
Possible Cause - excessive current, HPM transformer are
fitted with“Self Resetting Thermal Overload Protector” which
automatically switches OFF the power supply, if an overload or
short circuit occur.
a. Reduce the number of lights you have attached to the cable so that it does not
exceed the rating of the transformer.
b. Check globes, connectors or transformer terminals for any poor connections.

5Installation Example
If you have purchased a transformer with build in timer, you can add Automatic switching (PE170/10, PE170R2)
and Dusk to Dawn Sensor (DGLS150).
4Installation
STEP 1
Connect the cable to the transformer by stripping back a small amount of
insulation from each wire strand (approx.10mm). Be careful not to damage wires.
Twist wire strands to prevent loose wire escaping from terminal and to help
ensure a tight joint. Place stripped end into screw terminals on a transformer and
secure firmly with a screwdriver.
Note: RGLTR220 transformer enables you to install two sets of cable wiring.
STEP 2
Extend cable and layout in required configuration. Position lights along cable line
at desired intervals.
STEP 3
Connect the garden light that will be positioned the furthest away from the
transformer first. Turn ON the power and test that the light is working. Turn OFF
the power and connect each of the remaining lights to the cable.
STEP 4
Before covering the cable, turn ON the power and check that all lights are
working. If any lights are flickering or seem dull go back and check that all lamp
and cable connections are firm.
