Install the Transformer
1: Select the location between the wall studs (16" apart) where
the transformer is to be mounted.
2: Place the transformer between the studs and fasten it to the
studs through the bracket holes with four #8 or #10 screws
(not provided).

Voltage Wires
2: Insert one low voltage wire into the terminal and
tighten the screw firmly. Mark this low voltage wire in
the electrical box as "COM1".
3: Insert the second low voltage wire into the "COM2" terminal
and tighten the screw firmly. Mark this low voltage wire in
the electrical box as "COM2".
4: Insert the last two low voltage wires into the "T2" terminal
(default) and tighten the screws firmly. Mark these low
voltage wires in the electrical box as "HOT1" and "HOT2".
5: Measure the voltage at the power wires coming into the
transformer. If the voltage is not in the range of 115-120
volt, then pick the proper terminal tap using the "Terminal
Tap Chart" below to reconnect the last two low voltage wires.
6: Install drywall.

1: Install four THHN low voltage wires from the transformer
to the electrical box to which the power feed canopy will be
attached. Run the proper size wire using the "Low Voltage
Wire Size Chart" below.
NOTE: The THHN wire sizes specified in "Low Voltage Wire Size
Chart" are for 3% or less drop in voltage based on 300 watt
loads. Lengths are the distance from the recessed transformer to
the system power feed connector, or power feed canopy.

NOTE: Using a smaller wire size other than specified will result in
a increase in voltage drop and will reduce the lamp intensity.
