CAUTION: RISK OF FIRE
GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION:
This transformer is ETL listed for use with low voltage lighting
systems of brands offered by Encompass Lighting Group.
This product is suitable only for indoor dry locations and
approved for use at any height above the finished floor.
A typical installation is shown. Specific installation must be in
accordance with the local electrical codes.
All 120 volt transformer wires must be connected to the same
phase.
This product may be dimmed only with a low voltage magnetic
dimmer. Using a dimmer not designed for low voltage
magnetic applications may work initially, but could eventually
cause transformer failure and will void the warranty.
dimmer must be derated as indicated by the dimmer
manufacturer.
This product is intended for use with Encompass Lighting
Group brands of low voltage lighting systems only.
During installation, make sure all power connections are tight.
Read all instructions thoroughly. Read "Important Safety
Information" on next column before proceeding with the
installation.
The
Important Safety Information
Do not conceal or extend bus bar conductors through a
building wall.
Do not install this lighting system in a damp or wet location.
To reduce the risk of fire and burns, do not install this lighting
system where the uninsulated 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.
Do not install fixture assemblies closer than six inches to
curtains or similarly combustible materials.
Turn the electrical power off before modifying the lighting
system in any way.
The fixtures used with the system must be identified for use
with the corresponding system.
Minimum volume of the electrical box must be 6 cubic inches
(98 cubic centimeters).
