IntroductionThank you for choosing Atlantic’s 88 Watt Transformer or SOL Wiring Kit for your project. Atlantic’s SOL Warm White and Color Changing LED lights and connection components operate on low voltage 12 volt AC current and feature quick connect plugs for easy installation.

Prior to Operation and Installation

Caution:

• DONOToperatethisproductunderanyconditionotherthanthoseforwhichit is specified. Failure to observe these precautions can lead to electrical shock, product failure, or other problems.

• Followallaspectsofelectricalcodeswheninstallingthe88WattTransformer.

• Toreducetheriskofelectricalshock,connectonlytoa110voltreceptacle protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).

• Theinputpowertothe88WattTransformeris120voltACandtheoutputis12 volt AC. Removing or tampering with the cord will damage the transformer and void warranty.

• Thetransformerisweatherresistant,notwaterproof.Donotsubmersethe transformer. It must be mounted off the ground close to the power source. Failure to do so will void the warranty.

Installation (SOLTRANS88)Connect the supplied quick connect pigtail to the power outlet on the back of the transformer. Loosen the screws on the outlet terminals and slide the spade connectors on the pigtail under the screw plate. Tighten the screws to secure the spade connectors. (Figure 1)

Mount the Transformer in the desired location. The Transformer is weather resistant and must be mounted above the ground on a wall or post. Ensure that the power cord is within reach of a properly grounded Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlet.

After all connections to low voltage lights have been completed, plug the input powercordintothe120voltGFCIoutlettocompleteinstallation.

Operation (SOLTRANS88)TheSOLTRANS88hasan easily understood control panel featuring a rotary timer control switch, photocell and circuit breaker / reset button. (Figure 2)

The circuit breaker will turn off power to the lighting system in to case of overload / power surge. If the circuit is tripped, inspect / repair the lighting system and depress the reset button to restore power.

The photocell automatically turns the transformer on when it begins to get dark outside. The photocell does not need to be in contact with direct sunlight; however it must have access to indirect sunlight to operate effectively.
