IntelliBrite Landscape Lights Transformer Wiring
(when connected to IntelliTouch
®
or EasyTouch
®
pool and spa
control system)
• The 120 VAC power cord from the landscape lights transformer, must
be wired to a relay in the IntelliTouch or EasyTouch load center.
• When using IntelliBrite landscape LED lights with an IntelliTouch or
EasyTouch pool and spa control system, the transformer must always
be set to 'ON'. Also, select the light circuit as an “IntelliBrite” light from
the automation control panel,
• If a manual switch is being used to turn on existing pool light(s),
connect the switch to the relay in the automation load center.
Note: For IntelliBrite landscape light setup information, refer to the
IntelliTouch User’s Guide (P/N 520102), and EasyTouch User’s Guide (P/N
520584).
Number of Lights vs Required Transformer Wattage
(see Table 1 and Table 2 on page 7)
IntelliBrite landscape LED lights are powered by a standard 12 VAC
landscape transformer (purchased separately). Use the following table to
determine the correct transformer rating (Wattage) which is able to power the
number of IntelliBrite landscape LED lights installed. Add all the light wattage
together to select the correct transformer to power the lights. There can be a
maximum of 15 IntelliBrite LED lights connected to one 300 Watt transformer.
Five (5) lights requires a 100 Watt (minimum) transformer and 10 lights
require a 200 Watt transformer. Each light uses 20 Watts (which includes the
cabling).
Purchasing a Transformer for IntelliBrite Landscape Lights
A 120 VAC standard magnetic safety isolated transformer must be purchased
separately. To determine the transformer rating for number of lights being
used, see page 7, Table 1 and Table 2 “Transformer (VA)” rating (bottom row).
Wiring the high voltage side of the landscape light
transformer to an IntelliTouch or EasyTouch control system
must be performed by a licensed or certified electrician and must conform
with the National Electrical Code (NEC), all local codes and ordinances.
Main Low Voltage Cable and Additional Wiring
The IntelliBrite landscape lights require the purchase of main low voltage
cable for initial hookup. Additional lengths of main low voltage cable may be
needed at a later date. This cable is widely available at home improvement
stores. Before purchasing additional wiring, refer to recommended wire
gauge and length specification tables on page 7.
