Installing the Kichler Design Pro LED Controller

Read these instructions carefully before installing this unit.

• This power supply is for use with landscape lighting systems only.

• Do not submerge power supply.

• This device is accepted as a component of a landscape lighting system where the suitability of the combination shall be determined by National

Electric Code or local authorities having jurisdiction.

• WARNING:

• RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: use only with low voltage landscape fixtures and accessories. DO NOT use with swimming pool or spa lighting

fixtures.

• Do not connect two or more power supplies in parallel.

• Suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

• For use in dwellings only with provided conduit connection for secondary wiring.

• National Electrical Code requires that wiring where concealed or extended through a building wall must be enclosed in conduit.

• Power supply should be mounted close to power source. Extension cords should not be used with this unit.

WARNING:

• RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Install power unit 5 feet (1.5m) or more from the pool, spa, or fountain where the power unit is installed (a)

indoor within 10 feet (3.0m) of a pool, spa, or fountain, or (b) outdoor, connect power to unit to a receptacle protected by a GFCI.

• This outdoor power unit shall be connected to a 115/120 volt covered GFCI receptacle marked “Wet Location” while in use.

• Mount the rain-tight power supply at least one foot above ground level with the wire terminals facing down. NOTE: Do not energize power supply

until installation of system is complete.

• Direct burial rated wire is to be buried a minimum of 6” (152mm) beneath the surface of the ground.

NOTE: If additional Direct Burial wire is needed, contact your local Kichler® landscape distributor.

• 12 GA wire can be purchased in lengths of 100’ (30 M), 15501BK; 250’ (76 M), 15502BK; 500’ (152M), 15505BK; and 1000’ (304 M),

15506BK. 14 GA wire can be purchased in lengths of 250’ (76 M), 16088BK; 16 GA wire can be purchased in lengths of 250’ (76 M), 16089BK

Installation guidelines for locating the Kichler Design Pro LED Controller

1) Determine desired location for mounting the power supply. NOTE: When deciding location for mounting consideration should be taken for the

requirements listed above.

2) The mounting location should be in a well ventilated area that is away from sprinklers and irrigation spray.

3) The mounting location should be such that it promotes efficient routing to the various zones of a property, but minimizes excessive wire runs.

4) The power supply has a 66” [1.7 m] #18 ga. supply cord. It should be mounted near a 115/120 volt covered GFCI receptacle marked for wet

location while in use. Do not use an extension cord with this lighting system product. If a 115/120V branch circuit power source is not

available, it must be installed by a qualified electrician according to the NEC and local electric codes.

Mounting the Kichler Design Pro LED Controller

1) The power supply must be installed a minimum of 12" [30 cm] above the surface of the ground when measured to the point where the

secondary wire exits the unit.

2) On the mounting surface, mark the desired position of top keyhole mounting slot (approx 1/2" [1.5 cm] below the desired location of the top

edge of the power supply.)

3) If mounting to a solid surface such as wood, siding, etc;

A) Drill 1/8” diameter pilot holes at position marked in Step 2.

B) Drive mounting screw into hole until approximately 3/8" [1 cm] of thread remains.

If mounting to drywall or masonry:

A) Drill 1/4” diameter holes at positions marked in Step 2.

B) Push plastic anchors into holes and tap until flush.

C) Drive mounting screw into plastic anchors until approximately 3/8" [1 cm] of thread remains.

4) Slip tapered keyhole mounting slot over head of top screw and allow power supply to slide down and snug against the surface. Adjust screw

as necessary to ensure screw head is properly seated.

5) With power supply in place, mark locations for lower mounting screws. If mounting to a post or narrow surface, use bottom center mounting

hole; for a sturdier install when mounting on a structure or wider surface, use two outer mounting holes and leave center hole open.

6) Drill pilot holes or install bottom anchors as in step 3.

7) Replace power supply on top mounting screw and install bottom screws securely.

8) 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 Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).

9) Remove protective cover from LCD screen and keypad.

Connecting fixtures to the Kichler Design Pro LED Controller

The value of the multi-zone feature of the Design Pro LED Controller lies in the ability to individually control defined areas of the landscape lighting

design. The system design should take this feature into consideration. Lighting at pre-defined areas (zones) should be connected to a trunk line or

lines that will then be powered by the PSU Zones. Trunk lines that control individual zones are then connected to one of the PSU Zone terminal

blocks.

Each PSU (Power Supply Unit) has a pair of zones (PSU1 is zones 1 and 2, PSU2 is zones 3 and 4, and PSU3 is zones 5 and 6) and each PSU is

capable of 100W (6.7 amps at 15VDC). Any pair of zones can be loaded to a maximum of 100W regardless of how the 100W is split. For

example: Zone 1 can have 80W and Zone 2 can have 20W.

Each zone is also capable of having multiple wire runs provided the 100 Watt per PSU limit is not exceeded. Use wattage value (not VA) provided

for each fixture to calculate the load on the Controller. There are no minimum load or polarity requirements for loading the Controller.

1) Once the fixture locations/zones have been determined, the trunk-line cable should be routed to the fixtures and connected according to the

instructions provided with the fixtures. Use wattage value (not VA) provided for each fixture to calculate the load on the Controller. There are no

minimum load requirements for any zone or PSU.

2.) At the Kichler Design Pro LED Controller, route the cable(s) through the conduit adaptor. Note: For a more professional install, the secondary

trunk lines can be routed through an 18" length of 1" or 1-1/4" trade size PVC conduit (not provided) prior to routing through the conduit connector.

3) Split the 18/2, 16/2, 14/2, 12/2, 10/2 or 8/2 trunk-line cable

approximately 3”, and strip 3/8” [10mm] insulation off each

wire. On the bottom of the terminal block push one bare wire

into the hole marked “+” of the appropriate zone.

4) Tighten the corresponding screw on terminal block face until

wire is secure. Push remaining bare wire of the same run into

the “-” hole on bottom of terminal block and tighten terminal

screw. Screw terminals should be tightened to 12.5 lb-in [1.4

N-m].

5) Repeat steps for all runs and all zones.

6) 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

Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
