ZD/ZDC Transformer
Post Mount Installation: Install pressure treated 4" x 4" x 36" (min)
post in concrete footing. Repeat wall mount installation instructions
from page 5, without the use of wall anchors.

All Luxor Series Transformers come equipped with a 5-foot,
12-gauge, 3-prong electrical power cord. Only use the Luxor power
cord in conjunction with a GFCI-protected 120 volt exterior receptacle
(or 230 volt for international/export version).
Step 3: Running Cable to the Fixtures
Once the transformer has been installed and determined all xture
locations, the next step is to run the correct size cable from the
transformer to the xtures. FX LED xtures require between 10 and 15
volts for optimal operation and longevity. This is accomplished by the
following:
1. Grouping xtures into distance zones as illustrated below. Do not
have a xture that is 10 feet away from the transformer on the
same cable run as one that is 100 feet away.
2. Use the proper cabling method for the application. Try to
center-load all cable runs when possible to minimize the voltage
dierential between xtures.
3. Use the correct size cable to accommodate voltage drop.
As a general rule of thumb, limit the wattage load per cable
run to no more than 160 watts.
