INSTALLATION OF 120V QUICK-CONNECT PLUG
INSTALLATION AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS HC-342
NOTE: Switch must be mounted a least 1 1/2” away from
any metal parts.
NOTE: When parallel wire (SPT II) is used, the tracer wire
is square shaped or ridged and the non-tracer wire is
round in shape or smooth (seen best when viewed from
wire end).
1. Split 120v cord as illustrated (FIGURE 3). Cut the
non-tracer (or smooth) wire. Be sure to cut only the
smooth non-tracer wire.
2. Remove the screw from the switch and take the switch
apart.
3. Place the wires in part A (without the wheel) as shown.
Tuck the cut wire down one end on each side of the
barrier.
4. Press both halves of the switch back together. Note that
the points pierce insulation to make contact with copper
inside wire.
5. Place screw back into center hole and secure in place
with nut.
1. Cut off end of 120v cord cleanly and evenly. CAUTION: Do
not separate wires. Do not remove or damage
insulation (Figure 2).
2. Press cord, with ridged side to the right (tracer wire),
down and into front of plug.
3. Press cord down onto metal prongs.
4. Slide plug cover over cord and plug until plug cover is
centered over plug. 120V SWITCH

WARNING: Be sure the electricity to the wires you are
working on is shut off; either the fuse removed or the circuit
breaker off.
For this transformer to operate the wattage load must be a
minimum of 60w, but must not exceed 150w.

TRANSFORMER INSTALLATION
Select the desired location to mount the transformer (A) (not
in contact with insulation & away from oven or any other
source of intense heat including transformer). Using the two
screws (provided), fasten the transformer and mounting tab to
the mounting surface. Remove the cover plate (C) from the
transformer body. Identify the two terminals for the line volt-
age (120V) and the low voltage (12V) side. This is identified
from both the cover plate (C) and the transformer label (D).
TRANSFORMER
LABEL (D)
TRANSFORMER (A)
FOR PROPER OPERATION OF AN ELECTRONIC
TRANSFORMER, THE WATTAGE LOAD MUST FALL
WITHIN THE SPECIFIED RANGE. IF THE LOAD DOES NOT
FALL WITHIN THIS RANGE, THE TRANSFORMER MAY
MALFUNCTION OR LAMPS MIGHT FLICKER.

INSTALLATION (CONTINUED) HC-342
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This transformer has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never
use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully
inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
LOW VOLTAGE OUTPUT CONNECTIONS (12vac)
Connect the low voltage Ambiance™ cable (not supplied) to
the two terminals and tighten the 12V terminal screw (G).
NOTE: the output (12V) terminal blocks will function with up
to 2 (max) ambiance cables. Be sure to maintain proper
polarity if using 2 output cables.
INPUT / SUPPLY POWER CONNECTIONS (120vac)
Connect the black (or hot, 120vac) conductor to the colored
(black or copper colored) terminal and tighten screw (E).
Connect the neutral (or common 120vac) conductor to the
other 120vac terminal and tighten the 120V terminal screw
(E). NOTE: No need for grounding conductor.
NEVER CONNECT GROUND WIRE TO BLACK OR WHITE
POWER SUPPLY WIRES.
Make sure the input (120V) connections will not come in
contact with the low voltage (12V) connections.
After tightening the connections, re-install the cover plate (C)
and make sure that the 120V and 12V marking on the cover
plate (C) corresponds to the transformer label (D).
To control transformer, install ON/OFF switch or good quality
low voltage electronic dimmer on the 120V side of
transormer.
The low voltage Ambiance™ cable from the transformer to the
point where the first socket will be installed, must be enclosed
in the 9435 track with 9439 cover.
Attach the track to all surfaces with screws, nails, staples or
double face tape (not furnished) where cable will run, mitering
the track for right or left angles or wall to shelf surfaces. DO
NOT NAIL OR SCREW THROUGH CABLE TO ATTACH TO A
SURFACE. Use 9430 sleeving to cover wire when going
through holes in combustible materials, or notch the cabinet
wall and run track from cabinet to cabinet. Pull cable starting
at transformer, through all holes and snap cable into track.
NOTE: As with all electronic transformers, there is a
potential for Radio Frequency Interference (R.F.I.). To
reduce R.F.I., rotate the electronic transformer in relation
to the input line, or switch to a magnetic
transformer.
NOTE: To minimize noticeable voltage drop, do not allow
more than 10ft. between the electronic
transformer and the last light.
Note: A MINIMUM AIRSPACE OF 6” MUST SURROUND
ALL SIDES OF EACH TRANSFORMER (12” OF AIRSPACE
MUST SEPARATE 2 TRANSFORMERS)
INSIDE CABINET INSTALLATION
1. Drill ¹/₂” diameter hole or notch surfaces where cable will be
running through shelving or cabinet partition.
NOTE: Low Voltage Ambiance Cable must be covered in Sea
Gull Lighting Sleeving (#9430) or track and cover (#9435 &
#9439).
2. Install lampholders (#9427 & #9428 etc.), space lampholder
no closer than 6” center to center.
3.Do not install lampholder closer than 1 ¹/₂” to closed ends (wall
surfaces, partitions etc.).
4.Do not install more than 20 watts per cubic foot of cabinet air
space.
5.Be sure not to decrease the free air space inside the cabinet.
