Remove transformer cover by loosening the two Phillips
screws on the side of the transformer.
Install low voltage wires from the transformer to the
electrical power feed box to which the power feed canopy
will be attached. For best performance, use the wire size
from the voltage drop chart below.
Connect the 12 Volt Low Voltage Wires
NOTE: Other wire sizes that comply with electrical code
can be used, but may result in an increased voltage drop
and reduced lamp intensity.
NOTE: The THHN wire sizes are for 3% drop in voltage
based on 300 watt loads. Lengths are the distance from
the transformer to the system power feed connector
(Dimension ).

Check The System
After installing the entire low voltage system, if the lamps
have low intensity, then measure the voltage at the fixture
closest to the power feed contacts with a voltmeter. The
system must be at least 80% loaded and the voltmeter
should read between 11V - 12V ~AC. If the voltage does
not fall in this range, call Wilmette Lighting "Technical
Support" at 847-410-4606.
Operate the system for five minutes. On the low voltage
side, all electrical connection spots should be cool to the
touch. If a connection is hot to the touch, retighten the
connection and check to ensure that the temperature
decreases.
Replace the transformer cover and tighten the two Phillips
screws on the sides of the transformer.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Important Safety Information
Do not conceal or extend bus bar conductors through a building
wall.
Do not install this lighting system in a damp or wet location.
To reduce the risk of fire and burns, do not install this lighting
system where the uninsulated open bus bar conductors can be
shorted or contact any conductive materials.
To reduce the risk of the system overheating and possibly causing
a fire, make sure all the connections are tight.
Do not install fixture assemblies closer than six inches to curtains
or similarly combustible materials.
Turn the electrical power off before modifying the lighting system
in any way.
The fixtures used with the system must be identified to be used
with the corresponding system.
Minimum volume of the electrical box must be 6 cubic inches (98
cubic centimeter).
The system is "ETL" listed for USA and Canada only when all the
products used are supplied by Wilmette Lighting.
It is important to wire the remote transformer for the system as
described in these instructions.
Load the circuit of the remote transformers to no more than the
maximum rated capacity as specified.
