Installing the Luxor
®
ZD/ZDC 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" above nish grade, as
measured from nish grade to the bottom of the transformer and
according to code.
2. Drill pilot holes into mounting surface, insert anchors and install
screws into anchors leaving approximately ⁄" of thread exposed
on the screw. Mount transformer on screw.
3. Use a level and a pencil to determine and mark locations for
bottom anchors. Remove transformer from wall. Drill bottom
anchor holes and install anchors.
4. Place transformer back on top of uppermost mounting screw and
install screws into anchors at bottom of 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 visibility of the screen.
