INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
This fixture requires a 120-277VDC power source. Do not connect to main power source until device is fully wired.

  2. Attach one antenna to the back of each fixture head by screwing it down tightly. See Figure 1.
  3. Each fixture can either be mounted in soil (via the included soil mount stake – See Figure 1) or on a sturdy, non-moving surface (via the included surface mounting plate – See Figure 2).
  4. Link fixtures via the included T-connectors (See Figure 3). Ensure linked cables are not taut to the point of causing tension on fixtures or power supply, or the potential for tripping and other accidents. Ensure connections are tightened fully to prevent water ingress.
  5. Connect linked system to driver, then connect driver to main power source. See Figure 4. AMERICAN-LIGHTING-24V DC-Spektrum-Landscape-Light-1
