the landscape lighting system.
1) Determine desired location for mounting transformer. NOTE: When
deciding location for mounting consideration should be taken for the
requirements listed above.
2) Mark position of top portion of the keyhole slot location at top of transformer
and the slot located at bottom.
3) If mounting to a solid surface such as wood, siding, etc;
A) Drill 1/8" diameter pilot holes at positions marked in Step 2.
B) Drive screws approximately half way into holes.
If mounting to drywall:
A) Drill 1/4" diameter holes at positions marked in Step 2.
B) Push plastic anchors into holes and tap until flush.
C) Drive screws approximately half-way into plastic anchors.
4) Slip large portion of keyhole over head of top screw and allow transformer
to slide down, making sure bottom slot is behind head of bottom screw.
5) Tighten screws until transformer is secure.
6) Split 12/2. 10/2, or 8/2 cable approximately 3", and strip 1/2" insulation
off each wire. 12/2. 10/2, and 8/2 cable is the heavy black cable which
all Kichler 12-volt low voltage lighting fixtures will be connected.

(Reference above for description and part numbers).
7) On the bottom of the terminal block push one bare wire into the hole
marked "COM" and tighten the corresponding screw on terminal block
face until wire is secure. See chart for terminal screw tightening
specification. NOTE: 600W and 900W transformer (15XX600XX and
15XX900XX) is manufactured at 300W per circuit with each terminal
block representing one circuit. See chart for maximum wire sizes and
counts.

• Mount the rain-tight transformer at least one foot above ground level with
the wire terminals facing down. NOTE: Do not energize transformer until
installation of system is complete.
• The 12GA, 10 GA and 8 GA cable is intended for shallow burial. Bury
cable a minimum of 6 inches (152 mm) below the surface.
NOTE: If more cable is needed, contact your local Kichler
distributor. 12GA cable can be purchased in lengths of 75'/22M (15500-BK),
100'/30M (15501BK), 250'/76M (15502BK), 500'/152 (15505BK), and
1000'/304M (15506BK). 10 GA cable in lengths of 250'/76m (15504BK);
8 GA cable in lengths of 250"/76M (15503-BK).
• Finding Transformer Load: Low voltage systems require the use of a
transformer to reduce standard 120-VOLT power from your home to
12-VOLTS. To determine the transformer size you will need, add up the
wattages of all lamps you plan to use. Select a transformer that matches
as closely as possible to the total lamp wattage. For example, if you
have 11 fixtures all rated at 24.4 watts, you will need a 300 watt
(VA) transformer (11 x 24.4 = 268.4 watts). Generally, the total lamp load
should not be less than one-third the transformers wattage rating, nor
exceed its maximum wattage capacity. If your total wattage is too high,
either divide the load between two transformers, or use a more powerful
transformer.
• RISK OF FIRE, Do not place insulation under terminal plate. Check
connections after installation.
8) Determine the appropriate voltage tap (holes marked 12V, 13V 14V, or 5V)
for remaining bare wire.
• For optimum light output, the voltage at the lamp socket should
range between 10.8 and 12 volts.
For more information on voltage drop, consult the Kichler Landscape
Lighting Catalog or contact your local Kichler distributor.
9) Push remaining bare wire into the appropriate hole on bottom of
terminal block and tighten the corresponding screw on terminal block
face until wire is secure. Again refer to specifications in chart.
10) Above terminal blocks is a receptacle and a short power cord.
• If using plug-in timer (15556WH/15557BK):
A) Plug timer into receptacle.
B) Plug short power cord into timer
` C) Set timer following instructions provided with timer.
• If not using plug-in timer:
A) Plug short power cord into receptacle.
11) Optional Photo control Installations:
A) Make sure power is off and transformer is NOT plugged into
an electrical outlet. NOTE: No splice is required, transformer is
equipped with jumper connector.
B) Open front cover of the transformer case by lifting the cover up.
Locate and disconnect the white jumper connector inside the
housing. *Save the jumper connector with these instructions
for possible future use.
C) Remove one (1) of the 7/8" diameter knockouts on the side of
the transformer and push the photo control white connector
through the knockout hole. Inside the housing, slide the spacer
and star nut over the white connector and thread it on to the
photo control and tighten.
D) Plug photo control white connector into the housing connector.
Insure that the side latch locks the connectors.
E) Locate transformer and position photo control so that no light
will shine on the cell. It will cause the photo control to cycle on
and off. *In the unlikely event that the photo control should fail,
the lighting fixtures will remain on, even in the daytime. If this
should happen, follow these instructions and remove the
defective photo control and place the jumper connector in its place.
12) Plug power supply cord into standard 115/120 volt receptacle. NOTE:
The power supply cord must be plugged into a weather tight receptacle
equipped with a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFCI).
(SECONDARY SIDE - 12 VOLT SIDE)
• Circuit breaker will trip if there is a short or if total
wattage installed exceeds rated wattage per circuit.
• To reset breaker, flip switch to 'OFF' then back to
'ON' position.
• If the unit cycles on and off without regard to the
timer setting, it should be checked by a qualified
service person.
THERMAL PROTECTION
(PRIMARY SIDE - 120 VOLT SIDE)
• This unit is equipped with a thermal protector and
will shut off if overheated.
