WARNINGS:

 

 

 

THIS POWER UNIT MUST BE CONNECTED TO A COVERED GFCI RECEPTACLE MARKED 

“WET

 

LOCATION”

 WHILE IN USE 

 

CAUTION: FOR USE ONLY ON A BRANCH CIRCUIT PROTECTED BY A CLASS A TYPE GROUND 
FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER 

 

FOR USE WITH LANDSCAPE LIGHTING SYSTEMS ONLY - LANDSCAPE LIGHTING SYSTEMS ARE FOR 
OUTDOOR USE ONLY (NOT FOR USE IN DWELLING UNITS) 

 

THIS DEVICE IS ACCEPTED AS A COMPONENT OF A LANDSCAPE LIGHTING SYSTEM WHERE THE 
SUITABILITY OF THE COMBINATION SHALL BE DETERMINED BY CSA OR LOCAL INSPECTION 
AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION 

 

DO NOT CONNECT TWO OR MORE POWER SUPPLIES IN PARALLEL 

 

DO NOT MOUNT POWER SUPPLY OR FIXTURES WITHIN 3 METERS (10 FEET) OF A SWIMMING 
POOL OR SPA 

 

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS POWER SUPPLY 

 

Sizing Transformer

 

 

The total wattage (W) - or volt-amps (VA) for LED - of all of the fixtures operated by this transformer 
must not exceed the wattage rating of the transformer. 

If you are powering halogen lamps

, calculate the load by adding the wattage of the lamps in the system. 

Make sure the load does not exceed the wattage rating of the transformer. 

If you are powering LED lamps or fixtures

, calculate the load by adding the volt/amp (VA) values of all of 

the lamps in the system. VA is calculated using the following formula: 

 

VA =   

Wattage 

Power Factor 

 

 

RISK OF SHOCK.  Install power unit at least 5 feet 
from a pool or spa and at least 10 feet from a 
fountain.  Where the power unit is installed within 
10 feet of a pool or spa, connect unit to a

 

GFCI protected branch circuit.

 

 

 

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.  Install power 
unit  at least 5 feet from a pool, spa or 
fountain.

 

Where the power unit is installed (a) indoor 
within 10 feet of a pool, spa, or fountain, or

 

(b)  outdoor, connect power unit to a 
receptacle  protected by a GFCI.
