Connecting Solar Panel(s)

(Only if transformer is not used)

Insert one transformer wire into an 18VAC terminal.

Insert the other transformer wire into the remaining

18VAC terminal (see illustration L). Transformer wires can

be connected to the 18VAC terminals regardless of color.

Step 5

Plug the transformer into the electrical outlet. Check to

see if the green LED on the control board is on. If it is

not, see the Troubleshooting Guide on page 24.

NOTE: Use of a surge

protector is strongly

recommended.

HINT: Keep a few

mothballs in the

control box to

discourage insects

from entering it and

damaging the control

board.

Step 6

NOTE: NEVER USE THE SOLAR PANEL AND THE AC

TRANSFORMER AT THE SAME TIME! It will damage the

control board.
Feed the free end of the solar panel wires into the control

box and attach them to the appropriate terminals on the

control board (see illustration M). The RED solar panel wire

goes to the (+) POSITIVE solar terminal and the BLACK

solar panel wire goes to the (–) NEGATIVE solar terminal.
Tighten set screws against exposed end of wires.
