HAMPTON BAY KZB1501HX-01-MB Anderson Hardwired Millennium Bronze

Product Information

This product is a low voltage LED path light that comes with two different model numbers: KZB1501HX-01/MB and KZB1501HX-01/AL. The package contents include a use and care guide along with the light itself. The light fixture is to be installed in the ground with the help of a ground stake. The low voltage power unit required for the fixture should be 12-16 AWG type underground low Energy Circuit Cable. The fixture wire connector (C) has sharp edges for piercing the main low voltage cable, so it should be handled with caution to avoid injury. The fixture should not be installed within 10 ft. of a pool, spa, or fountain and should not be submerged in water.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Attach and install the light by screwing the post (B) onto the lamp body (A).
2. Connect the wires by inserting the fixture wire on the wire connector (C) into the groove located on the top of the ground stake (D). Ensure that the fixture wire stays in the center of the groove of the ground stake to avoid damage to the fixture wire. Screw the post (B) onto the ground stake (D).
3. Prepare a hole in the installation location using a tool such as a screwdriver to ensure the hole is not larger than the ground stake (D).
4. Install the fixture in the ground by pushing on the foot step (1) on the ground stake (D). Do not push on the lamp body (A).
5. Place the wire connector (C) on opposite sides of the low voltage cable from the transformer where the fixture will be located.
6. Align and fit the main low voltage cable vertically to the slot of the wire connector (C).
7. Press the wire connector (C) together until it is locked around the main low voltage cable. The pre-set prongs will pierce the cable insulation and establish contact with the electrical wire inside.
8. Once the wire connector (C) is in place, wrap it with electrical tape.
9. After all fixtures are installed, turn on the transformer.
10. To replace the bulb, use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the set screws (4) from the top cover (1). Remove the top cover (1), shade cover (2), and the shade (3), and then pull out the bulb (E).
11. Install the LED bulb (E) by pushing it in until it is secure. Reinstall the shade (2), shade cover (2), and then the top cover (1) into place. Use the Phillips screwdriver to re-screw the set screws (4) into the top cover (1).
12. Clean the fixture with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any cleaners with chemicals, solvents, or harsh abrasives.

Troubleshooting

• If the fixture does not light up, check if there is power or if there is a disconnection or break in the wire. Also, verify if the transformer setting is correct.
• If there is a flickering light in one fixture, check for loose wire connector to the fixture.
• If all fixtures flicker, check for a disconnection or break in the wire or if the transformer setting is incorrect.

• Screw the post (B) onto the lamp body (A).
• Insert the fixture wire on the wire connector (C) into the groove located on the top of the ground stake (D).
• Ensure the fixture wire on the wire connector (C) stays in the center of the groove of the ground stake (D) to avoid damage to the fixture wire. Screw the post (B) onto the ground stake (D).
• Prepare a hole in the installation location. Use a tool such as a screwdriver (not included) to prepare the installation hole to ensure the hole is not larger than the ground stake (D).
• Install the fixture in the ground by pushing on the foot step (1) on the ground stake (D). Do not push on the lamp body (A).

Connecting the wires

WARNING : The wire connector (C) contacts have sharp edges for piercing the main low voltage cable. To avoid injury, do not touch the metal contacts.
CAUTION : The wire from low voltage power unit should be 12-16 AWG type underground low Energy Circuit Cable.

IMPORTANT:

• Protect the wiring by routing it in close proximity to the light fitting, or next to a building structure such as a house or a deck.
• The landscape wire and connector can also be hidden under stone or buried under grass at a maximum depth of 6 in. (15.24 cm).
• Do not install the fixture within 10 ft. of a pool, spa, or fountain.
• Do not submerge the fixture in water.
• Place the wire connector (C) on opposite sides of the low voltage cable (sold separately) from the transformer (sold separately) where the fixture will be located.
• Align and fit the main low voltage cable vertically to the slot of the wire connector (C).
• Press the wire connector (C) together until it is locked around the main low voltage cable. The pre-set prongs will pierce the cable insulation and establish contact with the electrical wire inside.
• Once the wire connector (C) is in place, wrap it with electrical tape (sold separately).
