Please pay attention to the warning signs
Read the instructions with caution before operating and keep it properly

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Important safety information to reduce risk of fire injury.

  1. Do ot install within 10 feet (3 m) of a pool, spa or fountain.
  2. There are no serviceable parts inside the power supply unit. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE IT.
  3. Do not repair or tamper with cord or plug.
  4. Do not submerge transformer in water.
  5. Do not mount the transformer onto combustible material.
  6. Do not connect two or more transformers in parallel.
  7. Do not use the transformer with a dimmer switch.
  8. Plug the power supply unit directly into a GFCI et location outlet.
  9. For use with low voltage outdoor landscape lighting system only.
  10. The maximum output of this transformer is 300 watts. Do not overloadt he transformer.Be sure that the total cumulative wattage of all 12 volt fixtures connected to the transformer is equal to o less than 300 watts.

CAUTION: This landscape light system must be installed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If you encounter any problems during installation, please contact a qualified electrician.
CALCULATION LIGHTING CAPACITY
The 300 watt transformer has 300 watt circuits which will power up to 300 watts of light. To make sure the maximum number of fixtures can be safely connected to this transformer, add up the individual wattage of all the fixtures. The total wattage of your fixtures must not exceed output capacity of the 300 watt transformer.

INSTALLATION

  1. Preparing the Cable Being careful when splitting it. NOT to expose the copper cable. Remove the landscape cable insulation 1/2 inch from both cables and twist ends.dewenwils HOSL05H Low Voltage Transformer - Pairing Cable

  2. Connecting the cable to the Transformer
    Lay the transformer on a flat, stable surface and insert one stripped end of the wire under the terminal clamping plate “COM”. Then tighten the screw. Repeat this procedure for clamping plate *12V” or “14V”. (choose it according to the length and wire gauge of your cable. Referring to the following cable selection chart for more details)
    Tips:

  3. DThread your cable through the white plastic loop to reduce its gravity.dewenwils HOSL05H Low Voltage Transformer - Gravity NOTE: Gently pull on the landscape cable to verify if the connection is strong.dewenwils HOSL05H Low Voltage Transformer - Landscape Cable

  4. Placing Your Fixtures and Routing the cable
    Lay your fixtures (not included) to your desired location. Be sure they do not exceed the 300-watt rating of the transformer. Coil the rest of the cable after the last fixture.dewenwils HOSL05H Low Voltage Transformer - Routing
Cable

  5. Attaching Your Fixtures
    Turn the transformer on. Use the cable connectors to attach your fixtures with the cable. Then it wil light up.

  6. Mounting the Transformer
    Use the screw to mount the transformer directly on a wall. 12 inches to 48 inches (0.3 m to 1.2 m) high from the ground would be suggested.dewenwils

  7. Connecting & Mounting Photo Sensor
    Push the bi-pin connector into the mating socket, then screw the connector cover. Mount the photo sensor bracket on a wall or other solid surface with the screw provided. Snap the sensor into the bracket. Route or coil the excess wire to protect it from lawn mowers, timmers, etc. Avoid pointing the sensor at nighttime light sources such as windows, porch lights, and street lights.dewenwils HOSL05H Low Voltage Transformer - Light
SourchThe position of the photo sensor can influence at what light level the transformer will turn on in the AUTO ON/OFF and PHOTO ON TIMER OFF modes. Placing the sensor in areas receiving less sunlight at dusk (east side of house, behind trees and bushes, under a deck) will make the transformer come on earlier in the evening. Mounting the photo sensor in brighter locations will make the transformer come on when it has become darker out. The location, position and orientation of the photo sensor can be adjusted until the transformer turns on at the desired light level.

  8. Product Operation
    This transformer features three automatic methods to turn on and off.

  9. A remote photo sensor that senses the light level. There is a 30 second delay built into the photo sensor to avoid being triggered by lightning or ther light sources.

  10. Atimer.

  11. A clock.

The transformer operation modes use these three methods in different combinations. To set the mode, plug in the transformer cord into the GFCI outlet. Then the LED clock display, the clock indicator, the AM/PM indicator and the MODE indicator will be lit.
The clock is only required for the TIMER ON TIMER OFF and PHOTO ON TIMER OFF modes. The clock is ignored for any of the other modes and does not need to set.
To set the clock:
Hold down the MENU button until the CLOCK indicator is it. Press the ENTER button to set the AM/PM, press the ▲ button to select AM and the ▼ button to select PM. Then press the ENTER button to set the Hours, press the ▲ button to increase the time displayed and the ▼ button to decrease the time displayed. Then press the ENTER button to set the Minutes, press the▲ button to increase the time displayed and the ▼ button to decrease the time displayed. Finally press the ENTER button, the clock is set successfully.
To change the operation modes of the transformer, press the MENU button to lit the indicator of the selected mode.

Mode

MANUAL ON/OFF – Press the ▲ button to select ON, the transformer will be on all the time. Press the ▼ button to select OFF, the transformer will be off and the lights will be off.
AUTO ON/OFF – Transformer turns on at dusk, turns off at dawn. The lights will be on all night. There is a 30 seconds delay from when the photo sensor determines darkness and the transformer turns on.
PHOTO ON TIMER OFF – The transformer turns on at dusk. The transformer will turn off when the clock reaches the TIMER OFF time. This mode will turn the transformer off at the same time every night regardiess of how light or dark it is. The transformer and lights will be on from dusk to the TIMER  OFF time.
To set the TIMER OFF clock, press the ENTER button to set the AM/PM, press the ▲ button to select AM and the ▼ button to select PM. Then press the ENTER button to set the Hours, press the ▲ button to increase the time displayed and the ▼ button to decrease the time displayed. Then press the ENTER button to set the Minutes, press the▲ button to increase the time displayed and the ▼ button to decrease the time displayed. Finally press the ENTER button.
TIMER ON TIMER OFF – The transformer turns on when the clock reaches the TIMER ON time. The transformer will turn off when the clock reaches the TIMER OFF time. This mode will turn the transformer on and off at the same time everyday regardless off how light or dark it is. The transformer and lights will be on from the TIME ON time to the TIMER OFF time.
To set the TIMER ON clock, press the ENTER button to set the AM/PM, press the ▲ button to select AM and the ▼ button to select PM. Then press the ENTER button to set the Hours, press the ▲ button to increase the time displayed and the ▼ button to decrease the time displayed. Then press the ENTER button to set the Minutes, press the▲ button to increase the time displayed and the ▼ button to decrease the time displayed. Finally press the ENTER button.
To set the TIMER OFF clock, press the ENTER button to set the AM/PM, press the ▲ button to select AM and the ▼ button to select PM. Then press the ENTER button to set the Hours, press the ▲ button to increase the time displayed and the ▼ button to decrease the time displayed. Then press the ENTER button to set the Minutes, press the ▲ button to increase the time displayed and the ▼ button to decrease the time displayed Finally press the ENTER button
TEST – Use this mode to test the photo sensor and transformer operation Covering the photo eye turns on the transformer. Uncovering the photo sensor during the daytime or shining a bright light onto the photo sensor wil turn off the transformer. Note that there is no 30 seconds delay in this mode.
TIPS:

  1. The transformer has a power-off memory function. When the transformer powers on again, the transformer will enter the working mode before the power failure.
  2. Circuit breaker may need to be reset if the transformer is not working.
