Read and follow the safety instructions listed below and other basic safety precautions before installation or operation of this transformer and other associated equipment.
WARNING Risk of Fire or Electrical Shock
•If installation involves running wire through a building structure, special wiring methods are needed.
•Do Not submerge transformer.
•Do Not exceed the maximum ratings of individual components, wiring devices, and current carrying capacity of conductors.
•Select cable for each secondary output in accordance with tables in this manual.
•Select power source by combining bulb wattage.
•For landscape lighting appliances, low voltage cable shall be buried a maximum of 6 inches (15.2 cm) in order to connect to the main low voltage cable.
GENERAL INFORMATION
These Safety Transformers are specifically designed to supply 12 volts to pool/spa lights, submersible fixtures
and outdoor garden lights. The built-in circuit protection will disconnect power to the transformer in case of defect or overload. These transformers are suitable for direct connection to underwater Pool and Spa lights.

INSTALLATION
For field wiring information, please refer to the instructions attached to inside of front cover.
•Make sure that all unused taps (leads) are separately insulated.
•Use the following tables as a guide to determine the correct wire size.
•The voltage at lamp terminals after installation should be 12 ± 0.3 VAC.
•Voltages above 12.3 VAC at the light may cause the internal safety fuse of the transformer to switch off and on. To prevent this from happening follow chart below for correct voltage and wire gauge selection.
1.Select power source by combining Bulb wattage.
2.Determine length of cable run(s).
3.Determine wire gauge needed to deliver necessary power.
4.Connect cable to output tap of transformer given in table.
