American Lighting TG1-12V-WW-SS - Manual (Page 2)

IN-GROUND / SOIL INSTALLATION: (continued from page 1)
Be sure power to the junction box has been shut off at the main.
1. Determine location of fixtures in relation to each other and to the power supply. Note: Larger distances
from the power supply will create loss of initial voltage (voltage drop). If voltage drop becomes too large,
the light output will be noticeably less. In order to keep voltage drop from affecting light output, keep
fixtures within 35 feet of the power supply and use 16-gauge wire or larger (see also part 4 below).
2. For each fixture location, dig approximately 9” diameter hole, 10” deep.
3. Add 4-6” drainage material (such as pea gravel and/or sand) in each hole.
4. Push fixture barrel into PVC sleeve. Rubber gasket must be a tight fit. It will require pressure to seat fully.
5. Using 2-conductor wire rated for direct burial applications, wire each fixture to the power supply in a
parallel wiring configuration (homerun back to the power supply).
6. Make secure wire connections using UL Listed direct burial wire nuts (not included), matching polarity:
brown wire is positive (+), blue wire is negative (-). Note: In order for the Torcia fixture to light, the wiring
must have proper polarity in relation to the power supply’s output. If reversed, this will not damage the
fixture or the LED, it simply will not illuminate until polarity is correct and connections are solid.
7. Test light by connecting lead wire to power supply and restoring power at the main.
8. Coil any extra lead wire below the fixture/PVC sleeve.
8. Backfill hole with pea gravel or sand.
9. Repeat with additional fixtures.
CONCRETE POUR INSTALLATION:
Be sure power to the junction box has been shut off at the main.
1. Repeat steps 1-3 above except hole should be 6” deep.
2. Run rigid conduit to each location and pull 2-conductor wire, 16-gauge or larger leaving 18” extra
wire length at each fixture location.
3. Using standard masonry techniques , anchor and plug each PVC sleeve in upright position at slab
finish height. Be sure to pull extra length wire up through each PVC sleeve.
4. Add drainage material around the PVC sleeve to grade height.
5. After slab has been poured and is set, follow steps 4-7 above, but test each fixture BEFORE seating it
into PVC sleeve.
6. Coil extra lead into sleeve (cut back extra if wire will not fit).
7. Repeat with additional fixtures.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY MEASURES:
1. LEDs are not serviceable. Do not attempt to open the LED light engine.
2. LEDs are bright. Do not look directly into fixture.
3. Not intended for surface mounting in any type of installation.
4. Do not alter fixture.
