Tatūnga me te Tāuta
Follow these steps for proper installation of your transformer:
- Kōwhiria he Tauwāhi: Select a suitable location for mounting the transformer. It should be close to a 120V AC power outlet and centrally located to your landscape lighting fixtures to minimize wire runs. The unit is weatherproof and suitable for outdoor installation.
- Maunga te Kaihuri: Securely mount the transformer to a wall or sturdy surface using appropriate hardware (not included) through the mounting holes on the top flange. Ensure it is mounted vertically with the wiring compartment facing downwards.
- Hono iti Voltage Waea: Open the transformer door. Connect your low voltage landscape lighting wires to the appropriate output terminals (Com1, Com2, 12V, 13V, 14V, 15V). Use the multi-tap voltages (13V, 14V, 15V) to compensate for voltage drop on longer wire runs. For example, use 12V for short runs, and higher voltages for longer runs to maintain consistent brightness.
