3. Sikkerhedsoplysninger

Overhold venligst følgende sikkerhedsforanstaltninger for at forhindre personskade eller beskadigelse af produktet:

• Lav voltage System: These lights operate on a 12V AC low voltage system. Always connect to a compatible low voltage landscape lighting transformer. Do not connect directly to standard household 120V AC power.
• ETL opført: The product is ETL listed, indicating compliance with North American safety standards.
• Kun udendørs brug: Designed for outdoor use in wet locations. Ensure all connections are waterproofed.
• Elektrisk sikkerhed: Disconnect power at the transformer before installing, servicing, or cleaning the lights.
• Kabelbeskyttelse: Rute lav voltage cables in close proximity to the light fixture or building structure, or place them within 6 inches (15.2 cm) of a building surface, a dwelling, or a fence. The main low voltage cable should be buried less than 6 inches (15.2 cm) to protect against damage.
• Undgå overbelastning: Sørg for det samlede wattage of all connected lights does not exceed the transformer's capacity.

4. Opsætning og installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your Equinox LED Pathway Lights:

4.1 Forberedelse før installation

1. Bestem Total Wattage: Identificér hvadtage of each light (0.6W). Count the total number of lights you intend to connect to your transformer.
2. Select Compatible Transformer: Choose a low voltage landscape lighting transformer with sufficient wattage capacity for all connected lights. Ensure the transformer is rated for outdoor use.
3. Determine Wire Gauge: Select an appropriate wire gauge for your landscape cable based on the total wattage and the distance from the transformer to the furthest light. Consult your transformer's manual for recommendations.
4. Planlayout: Decide on the placement of each pathway light along your desired path, driveway, or garden area.

4.2 Installationsprocedure

1. Positionslys: Place each light fixture in its desired location.
2. Installer pæle: Gently push or tap the ground stake into the soil until it is firm and stable. Ensure the stake is vertical.
3. Attach Light to Stake: Securely attach the light fixture to the top of the ground stake.
4. Lay Landscape Cable: Kør den lave voltage landscape cable from your transformer to each light fixture, following your planned layout. Bury the cable less than 6 inches (15.2 cm) deep for protection.
5. Tilslut lys: Each light comes with a quick connector. Open the connector, place the landscape cable inside, and close the connector firmly to pierce the cable insulation and establish an electrical connection. Ensure a tight connection.
6. Tilslut til transformer: Connect the main landscape cable to the low voltage terminals on your transformer. Refer to your transformer's instruction manual for specific connection details.
7. Test system: Once all connections are made, plug in and turn on your transformer to test the lights.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

Equinox LED Pathway Lights are designed for simple operation once installed:

• Tænd/sluk: Control the lights using your low voltage transformer. Most transformers have a timer or a photosensitive sensor (dusk-to-dawn) feature.
• Automatisk drift: If your transformer has a photosensitive sensor, the lights will automatically turn on at dusk and off at dawn, or according to your programmed schedule.
• Manuel betjening: If your transformer does not have automatic features, you can manually turn the lights on and off using the transformer's power switch.

6. Vedligeholdelse

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your pathway lights:

• Rensning: Periodically clean the light fixtures with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Undersøg forbindelser: Annually inspect all electrical connections for corrosion or damage. Ensure quick connectors are securely fastened.
• Tjek ledninger: Kontroller, at den lave voltage cable remains buried and undamaged. Repair or re-bury any exposed sections.
• Ryd affald: Keep foliage, mulch, and other debris clear from around the light fixtures to prevent obstruction of light and heat buildup.
• LED-levetid: The integrated LED light source is designed for long life and is not user-replaceable. If a light fails, the entire fixture typically needs replacement.
