Installing the Luxor Transformer
Step 1: Locating the Transformer
1. Locate transformer(s) in a well-ventilated area away
from direct irrigation spray and central to the proposed
installation site of the majority of the lighting xtures. The
primary goal is to minimize the length of cable runs from
your transformer to the lighting xtures, which minimizes
voltage drop and cable size. A common mistake is to locate
the single transformer on the service side of the house or
in the garage, which might result in excessively long cable
runs to reach lighted areas. Transformer(s) with power cords
must be located adjacent to a 120-volt, GFCI-protected
exterior electrical receptacle. If a 120-volt power source is
not available at the desired transformer installation location,
it is advised that you hire a licensed electrician to run a
dedicated 120-volt, 15-amp circuit to the desired location.
For the international/export Luxor version, the previously
mentioned information applies for 230-volt, 10-amp circuits.
2. Test all existing receptacles with both a receptacle tester and
a digital voltmeter or amp clamp to verify proper wiring and
voltage at the receptacle.
Step 2: Mounting Transformers
Wall-Mount Installation
1. Install all transformers a minimum of 12" (30.5 cm) above the
nish grade, as measured from nish grade to the bottom of
the transformer and according to code.
2. Drill pilot holes into the mounting surface, insert anchors,
and install screws into the anchors, leaving approximately
⁄" (0.3 cm) of the thread exposed on the screw. Mount the
transformer on the screw.
3. Use a level and a pencil to determine and mark locations for
the bottom anchors. Remove transformer from wall. Drill
bottom anchor holes and install anchors.
4. Place transformer back on top of the uppermost mounting
screw and install screws into anchors at bottom of the
transformer to secure it to the wall.
Note
When installing the Luxor Wi-Fi module, consider
increasing the installation height to improve signal
strength and screen visibility.
