PRECAUTIONS
1. Read all instructions completely before beginning installation.
2. Turn off electricity before beginning installation.
3. All wiring is to be performed by a qualied electrician.
4. Installation must comply with the National Electrical Code, and all applicable codes.
5. Turn main supply to transformer on only after all connections are made and tested.
6. Use only transformers provided by Tokistar with the system.
General Description
Tokistar’s Advantage Series is a 24 VAC lighting system using LED modules or rigid-loop xenon lamps. LEDs are
0.72 watts. Xenon lamps are available at 3 watt and 5 watt. Xenon lamps have the voltage and rating stamped on the
glass at one end. Each Advantage xture is labeled with wattage and operating voltage.
This chart gives recommended
maximum lengths which take into
account these two limitations.
Conforming to these lengths will
ensure no xture exceeds 480
Watts, and will not be subjected to
excessive voltage drop.
Secondary Circuit Limitation
The maximum load of each xture must not exceed 480
Watts (20 amps @ 24 Volts). In addition to this limitation,
consideration must be given to the effects of voltage drop.
Fixtures with lower wattage lamps (such as LEDs) and
more distant socket spacing have recommended maximum
lengths less than 480 Watts.
Secondary Circuit Limitation
Each secondary circuit MUST NOT exceed
20 amps (480 watts @ 24VAC)

PRECAUTIONS / Heat Consideration
Xenon lamps produce heat and will cause damage if they come in direct contact with persons or combustible
materials. In accordance with NEC/NFPA 70 Article 410.11, combustible materials next to xtures must not be
subjected to temperatures in excess of 90º C (194º F). In order to conform to this standard, xtures need to be
installed according to the minimum space requirements shown below.
Step 1: Mounting Fixtures
Option 1 - Direct Screw Mounting (Part# AV-MS)
Each LED or lamp socket, has four mounting holes designed to accept
screws. For secure mounting, use two screws in opposing holes. Sockets
must be rmly attached to support the weight of the xture.
Option 2A - Channel Clamps (Part# AV-CL)
These clamps are for use with our AV-MC Mounting Channel. Screw the
clamps securely in place, then snap in the channel. Attach clamps every 8".
Option 2 - Mounting Channel (Part# AV-MC)
An optional mounting channel may have been provided with your
materials. Screw the channel securely in place, then snap each socket
into the channel. Attach screws every 8".
End Caps - Part# ECD-WH (White) / Part# ECD-BK (Black)
Ends caps are attached to the end of each Advantage lighting xture. If the
xture needs to be trimmed, a new end cap needs to be attached to the end
of the xture after trimming.

Installing Clear Lens - Part# AV-LNS
Your xture may have been provided with clear lens
covers. Push the lens directly over the top of the socket.
When properly seated between the two catches on the side
of the socket, the lens will be securely fastened and not
move from side to side.

Step 2: Installing Reectors/LEDs/Lamps
Your xture may have been provided with optional reectors.
Symmetrical reectors (#AVWH/BK-REF-S) must be
attached before lamps are installed. Push the plastic reector
base directly over the socket until it is rmly seated in place.
Asymmetrical reectors (#AVWH/BK-REF-A) may be
attached after lamps or LEDs have been installed.

Live conductor must be within connector housing
PRECAUTIONS
When attaching wire to terminals, make certain the insulation is stripped and the connection is made so
no live conductors are exposed.
Step 3: Secondary Wiring
Mini Junction Box Connectors - Part# AV-JBOX
If installation involves running wire through a building structure, conduit may be required to feed the xture. A
miniature junction box is available with a 1/2"Ø knockout for use with conduit ttings. The terminal block inside the
junction box accepts 14-8 AWG wire.
All secondary circuit wiring must conform to the National Electrical Code and all applicable codes.
Terminal Block Connectors - Part# AV-CONN
Advantage Series xtures may have been provided with terminal block connectors. One end of this connector screws
directly to the Advantage xture, and the other end accepts 14-8 AWG wire. A screw hole is provided in the center of
the connector for secure mounting.

T-Connector
T-Connection System - Part# AV-TCON
Our T-Connection system can feed multiple xtures from a
single wiring harness. Female connectors are attached to the
main harness at any interval and the mating male connectors
attach to each end of the xture.

PRECAUTIONS
Transformers should be installed in an accessible location. Magnetic transformers generate heat and must be
installed in locations where there is free-air circulation. Electronic transformers require less space to dissipate
heat, but they too should be installed in accessible locations with free-air circulation.
For additional information, please refer to the instruction manual provided with your transformer.
Secondary Circuit Protection
Transformers are provided with circuit breakers to protect secondary circuits. The maximum size circuit breaker on a
transformer is 25 amps, but the circuit wired to the breaker MUST NOT EXCEED 20 AMPS.
There are several transformer sizes available, and different size breakers installed in them. Below is a selection of trans-
formers with their respective circuit limitations.
Larger capacity transformers with multiple out-
puts can be centrally located and feed xtures
in either direction.
Input Voltage
Transformer
Do not exceed maximum xture length
Do not exceed transformer output rating
Transformer Location
The maximum recommended distance between the xture and the transformer varies, based upon the load of each x-
ture and the size of secondary wire feeding the xture. It is impossible to give a denitive distance without considering
all the variables. Electrical engineers and contractors can calculate these distances. Should you need guidance, consult
the factory.
