Novolink Lightscape™ Landscape Lighting System gives you simple,
convenient, and wireless control of your hard-wired, low-voltage
landscape lighting environment.
Our Controller’s unique connector is the key. Attach it directly to
your existing low-voltage system, and gain command over the
electrical current powering your lights. It grants you Bluetooth®
wireless access to operate your landscape lighting.
Important: Set your transformer to MANUAL ON, or powered
ON continuously. Turn timers and photo cells OFF. This allows the
Novolink Lightscape™ system optimal uninterrupted operation.
The Novolink
Lightscape™ System
With the Controller in place, use our handy Novolink Lightscape™
App to schedule when lights will turn on and when they’ll turn off,
whether at a specific time, or at dusk and dawn.
Add the Motion Sensor and Spotlight, and you can set your lights
to turn on whenever the sensor detects motion. Our spotlights are
battery-powered and wireless, and can be placed almost anywhere.
Install multiple Controllers, Motion Sensors and Spotlights to create
and control Zones around your home.

Download the
Novolink Lightscape™
App
Use the app to:
- schedule when lights turn on or off
- set motion sensor preferences
- create separate zones for each Controller
(like Front Yard, Backyard, Pool, etc.)
- connect more equipment to your system
- test your lights
1. Before you install any Novolink
Lightscape™ components, download the
app from Google Play (Android) or from
the App Store (iOS).
The app requires a device with
Bluetooth®wireless capability.
2. Make sure your device’s Bluetooth® is ON. You may find
this in your device settings.
3. Open the app, and follow the prompts to activate a component
(like the Controller).
Note: you can activate more than one component at one time.
Visit novolinkinc.com/lightscape for up-to-date instructions on
how to use the app, and our FAQ, based on real customer input.

Electrical Warning:
When working with electrical wires of any voltage, exercise
caution in moving, cutting, splicing, or connecting the wires. It’s
best to disconnect any transformer or source of electricity before
commencing installation.

Before You Start
To install the Controller, you’ll need access to the low-voltage
wire that runs between the Low-Voltage Transformer and the first
of your landscape lights. This may require exposing the wire(s) if
they’re buried.
Ensure your low-voltage transformer will work optimally with the
Novolink Lightscape™ system on our website:
novolinkinc.com/compatibility

keep the short length of
this wire in mind when
planning where to install
the Controller.

Assembly
1. Make sure you have all parts of the Controller. Check the
mechanisms and wiring for damage. Set the parts on a clean,
sturdy work-surface.
2. Attach the antenna top to the main Controller body.
3. Then attach the stake to the main Controller body. Twist until it’s
firmly in place.

Install the Connector
2. Locate the low-voltage wire that runs between your transformer
and the first of the landscape lights. Choose a place along the
wire in the lawn or landscaping, where the Controller’s stake can
be inserted into the ground. Here, the Connector will attach to
the low-voltage wire.
1. Unplug / disconnect your Low-Voltage Transformer. It’s best to
turn power OFF at the circuit breaker or fuse, and test that the
power is OFF before proceeding.
4. Remove the 2 caps from the top of the Controller’s Connector.
Pull up on the tabs to release the caps.
Note: the caps are designed to fit one-way on the Connector,
and won’t fit if their direction are reversed.
3. Unearth this portion of the low-voltage wire. Make sure there’s
enough slack to easily cut and manipulate the wire. Then use
wire-cutters to cut the wire here.

1918
5. Locate the end of the wire leading from the Transformer. Place it
into the lower portion of the Connector, in the channel marked
“From Transformer”. Lead the wire completely through the
Connector. Leave the wire’s cut end bare or apply an endcap.
Ensure the wire is straight and aligned with the channel, and
rests on the brass teeth.
6. Replace the cap over this end of the wire, and press until the cap
clips into position.
Ensure the cap is turned the right direction. The caps are not
reversible. Thicker wires may be difficult to secure, and a clamp
or wrench may help squeeze or press it into place. Do not use a
hammer, as it may damage the cap.

2120
7. Locate the end of the wire leading to the first landscape light
fixture in the series. Place it into the channel in the top half of
the Connector, marked “To Lights”.
8. Align the second cap and press it into position until it snaps in
place and is secured to the Connector.

Complete the Installation
1. With the Connector attached to the low-voltage wires, position
the Controller’s stake where it will be installed. Loosely guide
the top of the Controller with the palm of your hand. Use your
foot to push down the spike and drive it into the ground.
Note: Do NOT pull on the Controller while pushing the spike
down, as this may damage the unit.
2. Once the Controller is in place, the Connector can be settled
above or below ground.
Reconnect the Transformer
2. If necessary, turn OFF any photo-sensors or timers that would
interfere with the Wireless Controller.
3. When the Controller has power, it can be added to your system
on the app and can be set as a zone.
1. Turn the power ON at the circuit breaker or fuse, and / or plug
your transformer in, and turn it ON.
Note: It’s important the transformer remains ON continuously
and does NOT automatically shut off. Ensure your transformer is
set to MANUAL ON or continuous ON.
