ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Select location near a 120-volt covered GFCI outlet.
Using mounting template (CC), mark holes for
transformer (A) at desired location.
Note: The mounting template must be minimum 12 in.
off the ground level.

2. Drill holes at depth of about 1.2 in. using 3/16 in.
drill bit (not included). Install anchors (AA) and Phillips
screws (BB), leaving enough space for the transformer
(A) to hang on the the screws.
Note: Do not attach transformer (A) to the wall at this
time.

3. For low-voltage cable connections, split one end of
the low-voltage cable (not included) approximately
2 in., and strip about 3/4 in. of insulation off each wire.
Twist each side of wire so the copper is not frayed.
Note: Using the correct gauge cable is essential for
obtaining proper lighting performance. For use
with SPT-3, SPT-2, underground low energy

4. Loosen the terminal screws located on the bottom of the
transformer (A) and insert one of the pre-stripped wires
under the terminal clamping plate and securely tighten
the terminal screw. Repeat this process for the other side
of the wire, inserting it into the second wire terminal.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or
damage to the transformer (A), ensure there
is no wire insulation under the terminal
clamping plate and the screws connecting
the cable to the transformer terminals are
securely tightened.
5. Lay a length of low-voltage cable in the general area
where the lights are to be installed. Distribute light
fixtures (not included) as evenly as possible along the
low-voltage cable.
