Kichler transformers and manuals |
| Why buy professional grade
transformer. 1. Longer warranty. 2. Professional grade transformers are multi-tap .... they have selectable voltage (12-13-14 volt) ....so you can extend distance of wire, control number of bulbs, and brightness. Always disconnect power when working on transformers or bulbs. Use correct wire for selected distance. Larger wire is always bet choice. 3. Replaceable photo sensor option, or timer option 4. On the large models, you can use any timer, 24 hour, 7-day, repeat cycle, auto-off, dawn-dusk. Simply plug timer into outlet located on the inside of the Kichler, then plug the cord into timer. See timers 5. Kichler has built-in protection circuit |

 Low voltage wire If cable is too small in diameter or too long, it will not carry enough electricity to power the lights. 600 watt and 900 watt power packs use 2 separate wires. All other power packs use 1 wire. 12 gauge wire is larger, and carries longer distance than 14 gauge. For transformers rated 12-13-14 volt, then use 12 gauge wire. Low voltage wire cannot be used for household 120-240 volt because it is not power-rated for 600 volts like household wire.

 Light connectors: Always unplug power pack or disconnect power source when working on bulbs. This to protect power pack from surge and uneven voltage draw that affects electric field around transformer... which can shorten life of tranformer. If one light is not working, then disconnect power from transformer, take apart and clean connection, and shift connection point 1" away on wire. If all lights are not working, then disconnect power until lights can be checked out. Do Not leave transformer powered up without load because this can shorten life of transformer.

1) Select transformer wattage before buyingSelect a transformer that matches as closely as possible to the total lamp wattage.For example, if you have 11 fixtures all rated at 24.4 watts, you will need a 300 watt (VA) transformer (11 x 24.4 = 268.4 watts). Generally, the total lamp load should not be less than one-third the transformers wattage rating, nor exceed its maximum wattage capacity. If your total wattage is too high, either divide the load between two transformers, or use a more powerful transformer 2) You can use any ordinary 3-prong plug-in timer to control transformerA) Unplug short power cord located on front of transformer.B) Plug ordinary 120Volt timer into receptacle where short cord was plugged. C) Plug short power cord into timer D) Set timer following instructions provided with timer General Kichler manual 3) Or,,, You can use Kichler photoeye control transformer (instead of timer)15565BK manual/ pdf15534BK remote photocell manual/ pdf |

4) Connect low-voltage wires to Kichler transformerKichler transformers have selectable 12-13-14-15 volt output.To select voltage, connect 1 wire to COM terminal, and connect other wire to choice of 12 thru 15 volts Output selection depends on total watts of lights, size and length of wire going to lights, and household voltage output. If household voltage is low (80-90% rated value), use 15V output. If total watts of lights is less than half transformer rating, use 13V For brighter lights use 15V. For longer wire going to lights, use 15V Total watts of lights should not be less than 1/3 transformer rating. Nor exceed transformer rating. For models with timer outlet... plug in ordinary 2-prong wall timer For models with photcell outlet, buy 15565BK at Amazon For remote photocell, 10' cord, buy 15534BK at Amazon 5) Plug transformer into 120Volt outletTimer plugs into 120Volt outletMust use GFCI protected outlet How to wire GFCI |
