To clarify installation and wiring of your 300 watt (or 600 watt transformer if purchasing the CS960T
Upgrade), please refer to the instructions below.
1) USE ONLY THE BOTTOM SCREW TERMINALS TO ATTACH THE MAIN CABLES FROM THE LIGHT FIXTURE
RUNS. DO NOT LOOSEN TOP SCREWS OR REMOVE WIRES ATTACHED TO THE TOP SCREWS.
2) FOR THE 600 WATT TRANSFORMER, TERMINALS 1 AND 2 ARE USED FOR THE FIRST 300 WATTS OF
POWER AND TERMINALS 3 AND 4 ARE USED FOR THE SECOND 300 WATTS OF POWER. EACH MAIN
CABLE RUN MUST BE CONNECTED TO EITHER 1 AND 2 OR 3 AND 4. SEE DIAGRAM BELOW (SHOWING UP
TO 4 MAIN CABLE RUNS).
3) ATTACH ONE SIDE OF THE MAIN CABLE RUN TO THE LEFT TERMINAL (1 OR 3 IF INSTALLING THE 600
WATT TRANSFORMER) BY INSERTING THE STRIPPED WIRE (APPROX. ¾”) INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE
TERMINAL BLOCK. ATTACH THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MAIN CABLE RUN TO THE RIGHT TERMINAL (2 OR 4
IF INSTALLING THE 600 WATT TRANSFORMER). TIGHTEN BOTTOM TERMINAL SCREWS TO SECURE EACH
WIRE.

•Each 12/2 main cable must be split in the middle to create a left and right side.
•Strip the outer insulation from each wire approximately ¾” of an inch to expose
the copper stranded wires

•For a single home run cable, twist the strands of copper wire together tightly for
each side.
•For more than one home run cable, twist the strands of copper wire together,
combining each side together tightly as shown in #5 to make a completed wire
harness. Make sure the left and right sides of each cable are separated.

•Insert the left side of the wire harness in
the bottom side of Terminal 1 and tighten
the bottom screw to secure the wires.
•Insert the right side of the wire harness
in the bottom side of Terminal 2 and
tighten the bottom screw to secure the
wires.
•Do not exceed a total of 250 Watts
combined for all fixtures attached to the
cables in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 to
avoid overloading the circuit.
•You can typically run 3 main cables in
each terminal if you need to add another
home run.

•Repeat the steps to add cable runs to
the 2nd set of terminals (Terminal 3 and
Terminal 4).
•The same rules apply to Terminals 3 and
4 regarding total maximum wattage and
number of main cable runs as in the
previous page for Terminals 1 and 2.
•Be sure to balance the wattage load
between both sides (circuits) of the 600
watt transformer. Remember, Terminals 1
and 2 make up the first 300 watt circuit
and Terminals 3 and 4 make up the
second 300 watt circuit. Left

T-Connector Cable Basics
•Use T-Connector Cables to connect 2
or more luminaires to the Main Supply
Cable.
•Always connect the luminaires to the
TCC –not the Main Supply Cable.
•Do not exceed 25 feet in length from
each side of the T-Connector (50 ft.
total). NOTE: The TCC is a continuous
cable from end to end. DO NOT CUT
TCC in half!
•To eliminate the possibility of creating
a short circuit, offset the ends of the
TCC by clipping one side ½” as shown
below.
