Step 3: The Easy-Lock The Easy-Lock is used to connect the fixture to the cable. The duct is clamped onto the cable, inserted into the Easy-Lock and secured with the cap. It is impor- tant that the Easy-Lock is attached properly because it ensures good electrical conduction and optimal illumination of your light. The special gel provides the connection with extra protection against moisture and other external factors. Tip: If you want to move a light fixture, this is no problem. The Easy-Lock can be easily disconnected and connected at another place on the cable. The cable will then repair automatically. Step 4: The mini-connector You then attach the mini-connector to connect the fixture using the Easy-Lock. The soft PVC casing protects the connection frommoisture and dirt. The mini-connector also lets you easily pull the fixture cable through a hole in a tile or wall.
Step 1: The transformer The transformer should preferably be mounted in a garage or shed. Naturally, you can also mount it outside on, for example, a pole or wall. When doing so, make sure there is always a distance of around 50 cm between the ground and the bottom of the transform- er. This will keep the transformer safe from splashing water. The light sensor should be installed outside, since this causes lighting to switch on at dusk. Do not mount the light sensor close to other lighting, because it will react to it, and never remove the silicone cap because this offers protection against moisture. The cable lugs provided are used to connect the cable to the transformer. These ensure good electrical conduction and protect the transformer from damage. Tip: Want to save energy? Do not leave the lighting switched on all night long (‘dusk to dawn’ setting), but set the number of hours that the lighting is on after sunset (‘on hours’ setting).
Step 2: The cable Once you have connected the cable to the transformer, you can roll it out. Install it along paving and borders as much as possible for easy access. Use extension cords for fixtures installed further away from the main cable. You can also create cable branches to guide the cable more effectively along the fixtures. This can be done using a cable connector. The cable can end any- where in the yard and only needs to be secured with the cap provided. A layer of soil on top of the cable is enough to conceal it. Tip: Make a cable plan beforehand and include the location of the cable, fixtures, extension cores and cable connectors. More information on how to cre- ate a good cable plan can be found on our website.
Tip: To install a fixture further away from the cable, use an extension cord between the mini-connector on the Easy-Lock system and the fixture. Step 5: The fixture Finally, install the fixture at the desired location. Al- ways follow the instructions in the manual, which can be found on our website. If you want to install ground lights in your deck, keep in mind that you will proba- bly have to drill holes in the tiles or boards. It is important to do this correctly because a hole that is not drilled perfectly round can cause installation problems. A dealer or landscaper can take care of this for you since they have the right tools.
