Conserver hors de la portée des enfants.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• One or more circuit breakers are included with each transformer. To reset, turn breaker to on position. If circuit breakers trip repeatedly,
have the system inspected by a qualied electrician.
• The transformer includes an internal thermal protector and will run the transformer o if the unit over-heats. The thermal protector will
also automatically reset.
• Where possible, it is best to install the transformer in the center of the lighting installation to minimize long runs reducing voltage drop.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Carefully locate and install the power supply so that it is not
in contact with insulation or combustible materials. Provide
minimum of 12 inches of airspace around the power supply.
Transformer must also be mounted a minimum of 12 inches above
grade.
2. Securely mount the power supply to a solid surface using keyhole
slots in the mounting bracket. Drill screw holes at the right
locations and make sure use appropriate screws for the selected
mounting surface.
3. Hang transformer case securely over the screws.
4. Plug in the power cord to a GFCI protected outlet with a cover that
complies with the National Electrical Code for the location.
5. Use appropriate and approved wiring methods to connect the
power supply and the lighting xtures.
6. When using this power supply, the voltage will be reduced and the
current will be signicantly increased.
7. When complete, use the loop on the photocell terminal to
verify that the input current does not exceed the rating of the
transformer.
TRANSFORMER SIZING  VA VALUE
Low voltage lighting systems require the use of a transformer to reduce the standard 120 volt power from ordinary household electricity to
the 12 volt needed to power low voltage lamps. Transformers vary in size of capacity. The total lamp VA (load) of all xtures connected to one
transformer must not exceed the VA capacity of the transformer. Therefore, to determine the transformer size needed, simply add up the VA
of all lamps you plan to use.
TRANSFORMER SIZE > TOTAL FIXTURE VA
Select a transformer that matches as closely as possible to your total lamp VA. If you total VA is too great, either divide the total load between
two transformers or use a more powerful model. Selecting a transformer with about 20% higher capacity than you total lamp VA will allow for
adding a xture or two later.

LOW VOLTAGE CABLE LENGTH
In planning a low voltage system, it is necessary to consider the impact of voltage drop. Because of cable’s inherent resistance, voltage drops
along its length: the end-of-run lamps will be dimmer than those at the beginning. Since voltage drop is a function of cable length and cable
size and total xture wattage, voltage drop can be minimized in several dierent ways:
• Use multiple cable runs
• Use heavier gauge cable(8 or 10 gauge)
• Shorten cable lengths or runs
• Reduce VA of individual xtures
• Reduce the total number of xtures on a run
• Use multiple transformers in dierent locations
Cable is measured by gauge. The lower the number, the thicker the cable and the more current it carries. Common cable size for low voltage
lighting is available in three gauges: #12-2, #10-2, and #8-2. To calculate maximum cable length, use the formula below:
Vd=
Vd= Voltage drop in the section of cable, in volts
L = Length of the section of the cable (one way distance), in feet
VA = Total VA values carried by the section of cable for the xtures it supplies
Kc= Cable Constant as follow:
Please refer to WAC Lighting website for voltage drop calculator.
CABLE CONNECTION DETAIL
1. Open the cover of the transformer and remove the Knockouts at
the bottom of the transformer as necessary.
2. Run lighting cables through Knockouts from the bottom of the
transformer.
3. Connect the low voltage cables to the COMs and low voltage
taps labeled on the Terminal Blocks. Make sure that all Cable
Connecting Screws are secure and tight.

CHECK THE SYSTEM
After installing the entire low voltage system, operate the system for ve minutes. On the low voltage side, all electrical connection spots
should be cool to touch. If a connection is hot to the touch, retighten the connection and check to ensure that the temperature decreases.
Place the transformer cover back and tighten all four provided screws on both sides.
If there’s any irregularities, email or call WAC Lighting“Technical Support” at [e-mail], [phone].
