INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:
6.00"
9.00"
LOW VOLTAGE CABLE SHALL:
1. Be protected by routing in close proximity to the luminaire or fitting, or next
2. Not be buried except for a maximum 6 inches (15.2 cm) in order to connect
3. Have the length cut off so that it is connected to a connector within 6 inches
If using corrosion protection gel, then pump about two squeezes of gel into a
baggie and insert both Listed wirenut connections into it. Push out the air and
work the gel into the bottom of the wirenut assuring a waterproof connection.
Install the cable tie as shown and cinch down to complete the low voltage
connection. It's best to leave 12–18" of slack at each fixture to allow for reloca-
tion or if you need to splice in additional cables in the future. Since this is a
permanent splice solution—you will need to cut it off and start from scratch to
add cables to the splice.

DO NOT EXCEED 35 WATTS IN THIS FIXTURE
Do not locate fixtures in areas that are prone to the
collection of combustible material such as leaves and pine
needles.
Clean out the fixture housing regularly to reduce fire hazard.
The CratereFurbo is for turf or gravel applications only — Do not
locate CF in planter areas that have ground cover because the
fixture will quickly become covered up with plant material, there-
by reducing light output. Always try to locate fixtures in well
drained soil where standing water does not collect. If installed in
low-lying area, tie into drain system by installing a catch basin in
the gravel sump below fixture housing.
For high performance and predictable lamp life, supply fixture
with between 11-11.5 volts with all lamps installed and operat-
ing. Use FX LUMINAIRE Transformers only — FX WILL NOT
WARRANTY OR REPLACE ANY COMPONENTS DAMAGED BY
OTHER MANUFACTURER'S EQUIPMENT. The FX transformer is
specifically designed for the high tech lamps used in our fixtures
— the use of inferior power supplies can cause premature lamp
failure and other problems including the risk of fire.
