5. സജ്ജീകരണവും ഇൻസ്റ്റാളേഷനും

Follow these steps for proper installation of your landscape lighting transformer:

  1. ഇൻസ്റ്റാളേഷൻ സ്ഥലം തയ്യാറാക്കുക: Choose a suitable outdoor location for wall mounting, ensuring it is at least 1 foot (30 cm) above ground and away from water sources like pools or spas. The location should also have access to a covered GFCI outlet.
  2. Mount the Power Pack: Use the provided screws and anchor walls to securely mount the transformer to a sturdy surface. Ensure the mounting screws are spaced approximately 3 inches (7.6 cm) apart horizontally.
  3. Connect Landscape Lighting Cables: Strip 5/8 inch (1.6 cm) of insulation from the ends of your low voltage landscape lighting cables. Connect these cables to the transformer's output terminals. Ensure a secure connection for each wire.
  4. Mount the Photo Eye Sensor: The detachable photocell sensor should be mounted in a location that receives natural light, free from obstructions or artificial light sources that could interfere with its operation. Secure the sensor using its bracket.
  5. പവറിൽ പ്ലഗ് ഇൻ ചെയ്യുക: Once all connections are secure and the transformer is mounted, plug the transformer's power cord into a covered GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet. Ensure the outlet is at least 12 inches (30 cm) above ground level.

Use the "CLOCK" button and the up/down arrows to set the current time. Ensure the AM/PM indicator is correct.

പ്രവർത്തന രീതികൾ:

  • ഓഫാണ്: The power pack is completely off. Lights will not illuminate.
  • ഓൺ: The power pack is continuously on. Lights will remain illuminated until manually turned off or the mode is changed.
  • AUTO (Dusk to Dawn): In this mode, the detachable photocell sensor activates the lights at dusk and automatically deactivates them at dawn. This provides fully automated, energy-efficient operation.
  • Countdown Timer (4, 6, 8, 10 Hours): This mode utilizes the photocell sensor to turn lights on at dusk, and then automatically turns them off after a set duration of 4, 6, 8, or 10 hours. Select the desired duration using the rotary dial.

ലൈറ്റുകൾ ഓണാക്കുന്നില്ല.
  • Check if the transformer is plugged into a working GFCI outlet. Test the GFCI outlet.
  • Ensure the transformer is set to an "ON" or appropriate timed/auto mode.
  • എല്ലാ വയർ കണക്ഷനുകളും സുരക്ഷിതമാണെന്ന് പരിശോധിക്കുക.
  • നിങ്ങളുടെ വീട്ടിലെ ഇലക്ട്രിക്കൽ പാനലിൽ ട്രിപ്പ് ചെയ്ത സർക്യൂട്ട് ബ്രേക്കറുകളോ പൊട്ടിയ ഫ്യൂസുകളോ ഉണ്ടോയെന്ന് പരിശോധിക്കുക.
  • മൊത്തം വാട്ട് ഉറപ്പാക്കുകtage of connected lights does not exceed 120 watts. The built-in circuit protection may have activated due to overload.
Lights turn on/off at incorrect times or photocell is inconsistent.
  • Ensure the photocell sensor is clean and free from obstructions (e.g., leaves, dirt).
  • Verify the photocell is not exposed to artificial light sources (e.g., porch lights, streetlights) at night, which can cause it to turn off prematurely.
  • If using timed modes, ensure the clock and programmed ON/OFF times are set correctly, including AM/PM.
Transformer makes a buzzing sound.
  • A slight buzzing sound can be normal for some transformers, especially under load.
  • If the buzzing is loud or accompanied by other issues, ensure the load does not exceed the transformer's capacity.
  • Check for loose connections, which can sometimes cause buzzing.
Settings are lost after a power outage.
  • While the transformer has a memory function, prolonged power outages or specific electrical fluctuations might sometimes affect settings.
  • Re-set the clock and desired operating mode if settings are lost.
