Installation Instructions for
600 Watt Remote Magnetic Transformer
120 Volt Input to 12 Volt Dual Feed Output
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
GENERAL INFORMATION IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- RISK OF FIRE: This product must be installed by a
qualified electrician. Turn the power to the electrical box off
during installation. Read the "Important safety instructions "
before installation.
- This product is suitable only for indoor dry locations and
approved for the use at any height above the finished floor.
- This product may be dimmed only with a low voltage
magnetic dimmer. Using a dimmer other than specified may
work initially, but will eventually cause transformer failure
and void the warranty. The dimmer must be derated as
indicated by the dimmer manufacturer.
- Do not install this lighting system in a damp or wet
location.
- Do not conceal or extend bus bar conductor through
building wall.
- To reduce the risk of fire and burns, do not install this
lighting system where the insulated 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.
- A typical installation is shown. Specific installation must be
in accordance with the local electrical codes.
- TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE, it is important to wire the
remote transformer for the system as described in this
installation instruction.
- Load each circuit of the remote transformer to MAXIMUM
300 Watt.
- Do not install fixture assemblies closer than six inches or
as specified in the fixture installation instructions to
curtains or similarly combustible materials.
- Turn the electrical power off before modifying the lighting
system in any way.
- The fixtures used with the Edge Lighting systems must be
identified for use with the corresponding Edge Lighting
systems.
- Minimum volume of the electrical box must be 6 cubic
inches (98 cubic centimeters).
- The system is "ETL" listed for USA and Canada only when
all the products used are supplied by Edge Lighting.

NOTE: In order to use small gauge wires from the transformer
to the electrical box, it is recommended to install the remote
transformers as near as possible to the electrical box. See "Low
Voltage Wire Size Chart" below.
1: Use the transformer brackets to secure the transformer in
place (hardware not included).
2: Loosen and remove the two Phillips screws on the sides of
the transformer to remove the transformer cover.

3: Install a conduit and power wires from the panel to the
transformer.
4: DO NOT connect the power wires to the panel at this time.
5: Connect the 120V black transformer wire to the hot power
with a wire nut.
6: Connect the 120V white transformer wire to the neutral
power with a wire nut.

7: Install a conduit from the transformer to the electrical box.
8: For the best performance, use the "Low Voltage Wire Size
Chart" on page 2 to select the wire size.
NOTE: Using a smaller wire size other than specified will result in
a increase in voltage drop and will reduce the lamp intensity.
NOTE: The THHN wire sizes specified in "Low Voltage Wire Size
Chart" are for 3% or less drop in voltage based on 300 watt
loads. Lengths are the distance from the remote transformer to
the system power feed connector, or power feed canopy.

9: Install the THHN low voltage wires from the transformer to
the electrical box where the power feed canopy will be
installed.
10: Insert one low voltage wire into the "COMT" terminal and
tighten the screw firmly. Mark this low voltage wire in the
electrical box as "COM1".
11: Insert the second low voltage wire into the "T2" terminal
9
and tighten the screw firmly. Mark this low voltage wire in
the electrical box as "HOT1".
12: Insert the third low voltage wire into the "COMP" terminal
and tighten the screw firmly. Mark this low voltage wire in
the electrical box as "COM2".
13: Insert the fourth low voltage wire into the "P2" terminal
and tighten the screw firmly. Mark this low voltage wire in
the electrical box as "HOT2".
14: Connect the 120 volt power wires at the panel.
15: Measure the voltage at the power wires coming into the
transformer. If the voltage is not in the range of 115-120
volt, then pick the proper terminal tap using the "Terminal
T2
HO
Tap Chart" below to reconnect the second and fourth low
voltage wires.

NOTE: Risk of Fire - The terminal taps ARE NOT for boosting
the transformer low voltage power, they are selected to ensure
output power voltage based upon input power voltage condition.
NEVER use a higher terminal tap to compensate for voltage
drop, this will overheat the low voltage wires and transformer. It
is recommended to use the wire size as indicated in "Low
Voltage Wire Size Chart" on page 2 to avoid excessive voltage
drop.

16: 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 Edge Lighting "Technical Support" at
773-770-1195.
17: After operating the system for a few minutes, on the low
voltage side, all electrical connection points should be no
more than warm to the touch. If a connection is hot to the
touch, retighten the connection and check to ensure that
the temperature decreases.
18: The transformer circuit breaker will trip if there is a short in
the system. After removing the cause of the short, reset
the circuit breaker to power the system.
19: Replace the transformer cover and tighten the two Phillips
screws on the sides of the transformer.
