Sollos Smart Transformer Quick Start Guide
This Quick Start Guide gives you the basic mounting and device application (app) download instructions for your newly purchased Sollos Transformer. This unit is equipped to communicate using Bluetooth® and works with your smart phone to make setup and programming your Sollos Transformer quick and easy.
MOUNTING INSTALLATION:
This unit is suitable for indoor or outdoor use. WARNING – Risk of Fire. If
installation involves running wiring through a building structure, special
wiring methods are needed. Consult a qualified electrician.
FOR USE IN CANADA: this unit is for outdoor use only. WARNING – Risk of
fire, do not place insulation under terminal plate. Check connection after
installation. This device is accepted as a component of a landscape lighting
system where the suitability of the combination shall be determined by CSA or
local inspection authorities having jurisdiction.
WARNING Risk of Electric Shock. Install power unit 5 feet (1.5m) or
more from a pool, spa, or fountain. Where the power unit is installed (a)
indoors within 10 feet (3.0m) of a pool, spa, or fountain or (b) outdoors,
connect power unit to a receptacle protected by a GFCI. An outdoor power unit
must use a Class A type GFCI protected hooded flush type cover plate
receptacle marked “Wet Location”.
WARNING – Do not use an extension cord. Transformer must be properly
grounded per National Electric Code.
- Mount the unit at least 12 inches (0.3m) off the ground and away from direct irrigation spray. Install in an open air setting and do not bury. It is best to centrally locate the transformer between fixtures. Use the mounting template at the top and bottom of this page to locate the screws to mount the unit.
- Calculate total fixture load and add 10%. This total should not exceed the rated transformer output. Do not overload. You will be able to verify the output load power using the “Power Meter” screen on the Sollos Eclipse app loaded onto your phone or tablet (see app download instructions below).
- You may use any combination of output terminal lugs for your fixture wiring. Use 12 gauge or larger direct burial cable and strip insulation 3/8 inch (9.5mm) minimum, twist wire strands, and insert into terminal lug. Each output lug will hold up to two 12 gauge wires. Tighten terminal lug screws firmly and re-tighten after one week.
- Plug the unit power cord into a live AC outlet. The green “POWER” LED will turn on when AC is present.

The “DUSK TO DAWN” program is set as the default program. This program will turn the lights on at dusk/sunset and off at dawn/sunrise all nights of the week. To choose a different program or to define custom timer settings, visit the “Programs” screen on the Sollos Eclipse app.
