DESCRIPTION

Thank you for purchasing the C9 BULB CONTROLLER. Switching the remote unit to ON/OFF will turn your holiday lighting on or off wirelessly. The maximum capacity is 432 watts or approximately 10 incandescent or 62 LED 100 count light strings.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT LIGHT STRINGS OR SETS IN EXCESS OF THE ABOVE CAPACITY.

INSTALLATION

Note: If you have not yet assembled your lighting, it may be useful to check your light strings before assembly to identify missing/faulty bulbs.

BEFORE INSTALLING: Consider how to best set-up your light show…

• The Concept
  • Your C9 BULB CONTROLLER will allow you to control your holiday lighting. Plug the unit into a GFCI-equipped outlet and use the remote unit to control the light strings ON/OFF.
• Capacity
  • The C9 BULB CONTROLLER has a capacity of 432 Watts. Please refer to the packaging, instruction manual or warning tags on your holiday lighting for the exact wattage of each item being plugged into the unit. In order not to exceed the 432 watts, you must add up the wattage of each item being plugged into the unit to attain the total wattage. Example: approx. 10 incandescent or 62 LED 100 CT light strings = 432 watts.

WARNING: DO NOT EXCEED 432 WATTS

USER SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS

If connecting to a lighting string that does not have a Wattage (W) rating, calculate the wattage as follows: Multiply the current (__ A) which is on the flag-type tag by 120.
For Example: The lighting string is rated 120V, 60Hz, 0.2 Amps. 0.2 X 120 = 24 Watts Add the wattage of each light string together for a total of 432 Watts or less. (Do not exceed 432 Watts)

OPERATION

Plug the control box into a GFCI-equipped outlet and your holiday lighting into the outlet provided on the control box. Install 2 AAA batteries in the remote unit. Place the remote unit up to 50 ft from your holiday lighting. Turn it on. By pressing the red bulb, it plays sound effects, lights up the red bulb and your holiday lighting plugged into the control box turns on. Press the red bulb again to turn the lighting connected to the control box to “OFF”.
