Kichler 15PR75 - Manuel

1) Determine desired location for mounting transformer. NOTE:
When deciding location for mounting consideration should be
taken for the requirements listed above.
2) Mark position of top portion of the keyhole slot location at
top of transformer and the slot located at bottom.
3) If mounting to a solid surface such as wood, siding, etc;
A) Drill 1/8” diameter pilot holes at positions marked in
Step 2.
B) Drive screws approximately half way into holes.
If mounting to drywall:
A) Drill 1/4” diameter holes at positions marked in Step 2.
B) Push plastic anchors into holes and tap until flush.
C) Drive screws approximately half-way into plastic
anchors.
4) Slip large portion of keyhole over head of top screw and allow
transformer to slide down, making sure bottom slot is behind
head of bottom screw.
5) Tighten screws until transformer is secure.
6) Split 12/2. 10/2, or 8/2 cable approximately 3”, and strip 1/2”
insulation off each wire. 12/2. 10/2, and 8/2 cable is the
heavy black cable which all Kichler ® 12-volt low voltage
lighting fixtures will be connected.
(Reference above for description and part numbers).
7) On the bottom of the terminal block push one bare wire into
the hole marked “COM” and tighten the corresponding screw
on terminal block face until wire is secure. See chart for
terminal screw tightening specification.
8) For optimum light output, the voltage at the lamp socket
should range between 10.8 and 12 volts for incandescent
products. Most Kichler ® LED products operate optimally
from 9-15V.
For more information on voltage drop, consult the Kichler
Landscape Lighting Catalog or contact your local Kichler
distributor.
9) Push remaining bare wire into the hole marked 15V on
bottom of terminal block and tighten the corresponding
screw on terminal block face until wire is secure.

INSTRUCTIONS
For Assembling and Installing Fixtures in Canada
Pour L’assemblage et L’installation Au Canada
OUTDOOR USE ONLY
DOM ETRE INSTALLE A L’EXTERIEUR
• This power supply is for use with landscape lighting systems
only.
• This device is accepted as a component of a landscape
lighting system where the suitability of the combination shall
be determined by CSA or local authorities having jurisdiction.
To comply with CSA requirement, this fixture should be
installed by a qualified electrician. Au Canada. Pour être en
accord avec IES 1015 CSA. Ce luminaire doit être installé par
un électricien qualifié.
• Do not submerge transformer.
• CAUTION: For use only on a branch circuit protected by a
Class A Type ground fault circuit interrupter.
• WARNING: Risk of electric shock, use only with low voltage
landscape fixtures and accessories. DO not use with swimming
pool or spa lighting fixtures.
• Do not connect two or more power supplies in parallel.
NE PAS RACCORDER DEUX BLOCS D’ALIMENTATION, OU
PLUS, EN PARALLÈLE
• Power supplies are for outdoor use only. Not for use in
dwelling units.
UTILISER À L’EXTÉRIERUR SEULEMENT.
• Extension cords should not be used with this cord connected
power unit.
• Do not mount power supply or luminaires within 3 m (10 ft.) of a
swimming pool or spa.
• The supply circuit for the landscape lighting system shall be
protected by a Class A type ground fault circuit interrupter,
unless it is provided with the landscape lighting system. • Mount the rain-tight transformer at least one foot above
ground level with the wire terminals facing down. NOTE: Do
not energize transformer until installation of system is complete.
• The 12GA, 10 GA and 8 GA cable is intended for shallow
burial. Bury cable a minimum of 6 inches (152 mm) below the
surface.
NOTE: If more cable is needed, contact your local Kichler
®
Landscape distributor. 12GA cable can be purchased in lengths
of 75’/22M (15500-BK), 100’/30M (15501BK), 250’/76M
(15502BK), 500’/152 (15505BK), and 1000’/304M (15506BK).
10 GA cable in lengths of 250’/76m (15504BK); 8 GA cable in
lengths of 250”/76M (15503-BK).
• Finding Transformer Load: Low voltage systems require the
use of a transformer to reduce standard 120-VOLT power from
your home to 12-VOLTS. To determine the transformer size
you will need, add up the wattages of all lamps you plan to
use. Select 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.
• RISK OF FIRE, Do not place insulation under terminal plate.
Check connections after installation.
This instruction sheet covers the installation of the following Kichler ® Transformers: 15PR75SS/15PL75XX. Read these instructions care-
fully before installing this unit.
10) Above terminal blocks is a receptacle and a short power cord.
• If using plug-in timer (15556WH/15557BK):
A) Plug timer into receptacle.
B) Plug short power cord into timer
` C) Set timer following instructions provided with timer.
• If not using plug-in timer:
A) Plug short power cord into receptacle.
11) Optional Photo control Installations:
A) Make sure power is off and transformer is NOT plugged
into an electrical outlet. NOTE: No splice is required,
transformer is equipped with jumper connector.
B) Open front cover of the transformer case by lifting
the cover up. Locate and disconnect the white jumper
connector inside the housing. *Save the jumper connector
with these instructions for possible future use.
C) Remove one (1) of the 7/8” diameter knockouts on
the side of the transformer and push the photo control
white connector through the knockout hole. Inside the
housing, slide the spacer and star nut over the white
connector and thread it on to the photo control and
tighten.
D) Plug photo control white connector into the housing
connector. Insure that the side latch locks the connectors.
E) Locate transformer and position photo control so that
no light will shine on the cell. It will cause the photo
control to cycle on and off. *In the unlikely event that
the photo control should fail, the lighting fixtures will
remain on, even in the daytime. If this should happen,
follow these instructions and remove the defective
photo control and place the jumper connector in its place.
12) Plug power supply cord into standard 115/120 volt receptacle.
NOTE: The power supply cord must be plugged into a weather
tight receptacle equipped with a Ground Fault Interrupter
(GFCI).
