Low Voltage Landscape Transformers
LVT-B0150-OW-211

Specifications

Check product label for specific electrical
specifications related to installation.
Improper installation will void warranty.

Transformer Sizing

Total load (watts or volt-amperes) of all fixtures connected to one transformer must not exceed 70% of the
W or VA capacity of the transformer. Use the below equation to calculate the most suitable transformer.

Transformer Mounting

Mount transformer to solid surface using stainless hardware capable of supporting the weight of the transformer.
Hardware is not included. Once screw(s) are properly mounted, slide transformer over screw heads and tighten
screw(s) to lock in place once the transformer is level.

System Check

After installing entire system, apply supply power. After five minutes of operation, remove supply power. Check all
low voltage electrical connections, which should be cool to the touch. If any connection is warm to the touch, check
and re-tighten the connection and repeat the process until all connection problems are resolved.

Safety and Notes

• Product should be installed and serviced in accordance with applicable national, state,
and local building and electrical codes.
• Risk of fire or electrical shock. Install transformer at least 10 ft (3.05 m) from pools, spas,
or fountains.
• Outdoor, above ground installation only. For use with low voltage landscape lighting only.
• Transformer has a built-in circuit breaker which can be reset by removing and then
restoring power.
• Transformer must be connected to GFCI-protected receptacle marked suitable for wet
locations. Receptacle must be protected by a weatherproof cover.
• Do not submerge the transformer or use it to power submersible lights or lights mounted
in or near pools, spas, or fountains.
• If cleaning is necessary, use a damp cloth to wipe down case. Do not spray transformer
with pressurized water or steam.
• Do not use with dimmer or extension cord or wire in parallel with other transformers.
• Do not exceed 70% of the maximum wattage of the transformer when connecting lights.
• Transformer must be mounted in a vertical orientation, with the bottom at least 1 ft from
the ground.
• Ensure all mounts are securely attached and will support the transformer's weight. Failure
to properly support transformer may result in damage or injury, for which the manufacturer
does not assume responsibility.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify transformer.
• Ensure wiring to lights is correct gauge for the run and total power of the intended circuit
and is intended for use with outdoor landscape applications.
