4. Opsætning og installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your landscape transformer.

4.1 Montering af transformatoren

• Select a suitable outdoor location near a 120V AC power outlet.
• Mount the transformer at a minimum height of 12 inches (30 cm) from the ground.
• Use the provided mounting hardware to securely attach the transformer to a wall or sturdy surface.

4.2 Wiring Landscape Lights

• Ensure the transformer is unplugged from the power source.
• Tilslut lav-voltage wires from your landscape lights to the appropriate terminals (COM, 12V, 14V) for Zone 1 and Zone 2.
• Refer to the wiring diagram for correct connections. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.

5.1 Indstilling af uret

Press the 'CLOCK' button to enter clock setting mode. Use the 'UP' and 'DOWN' arrows to adjust the hour and minute. Press 'ENTER' to confirm.

5.2 Valg af driftstilstande

Press the 'ZONE1' or 'ZONE2' button repeatedly to cycle through the available operating modes for each respective zone. The illuminated indicator light will show the currently selected mode.

• Manual On/Off Mode: Lights remain continuously ON or OFF. Select 'ON' or 'OFF' for constant operation.
• Auto On/Off Mode (Photocell Dusk-to-Dawn): Lights automatically turn ON at dusk and OFF at dawn based on the photocell sensor. Select 'AUTO'.
• Nedtællingstilstand: Lights turn ON at dusk and remain ON for a set duration (2H, 4H, 6H, 8H for Zone 1; 3H, 5H, 7H, 9H for Zone 2). Select the desired hour.
• Dusk On/Timer Off Mode: Lights turn ON at dusk and turn OFF at a specific programmed time. Select 'DUSK ON TIMER OFF'.
• Timertilstand: Lights turn ON and OFF at specific programmed times. Select 'TIMER'.

6. Særlige funktioner

6.1 Dual-Zone Independent Control

The transformer allows for independent control of two separate lighting zones. This means you can set different operating modes and schedules for lights connected to Zone 1 and Zone 2, providing maximum flexibility for your landscape design.

7. Vedligeholdelse

• Periodically inspect the transformer and wiring for any signs of damage or wear.
• Hold fotocellesensoren ren og fri for blokeringer for at sikre nøjagtig drift fra skumring til daggry.
• Clean the exterior of the transformer with a soft, damp klæde. Brug ikke skrappe kemikalier eller slibende rengøringsmidler.
• Ensure proper ventilation around the transformer to prevent overheating.

8. Fejlfinding

• Lysene tændes ikke: Check the power connection, ensure the circuit breaker is not tripped, verify the operating mode settings, and inspect wiring for loose connections.
• Lights staying on/off at wrong times: Check the photocell sensor for obstructions or interference from artificial light. Verify the clock setting and programmed timer schedules.
• Flimrende lys: This may indicate an overloaded circuit or insufficient cable gauge. Reduce the total wattage of connected lights or upgrade to a thicker gauge wire.
• Transformer not responding: Disconnect power for a few minutes, then reconnect. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
