Connecting Solar Panel(s)
(Only if transformer is not used)
Insert one transformer wire into an 18VAC terminal.
Insert the other transformer wire into the remaining
18VAC terminal (see illustration L). Transformer wires can
be connected to the 18VAC terminals regardless of color.
Step 5
Plug the transformer into the electrical outlet. Check to
see if the green LED on the control board is on. If it is
not, see the Troubleshooting Guide on page 24.
NOTE: Use of a surge
protector is strongly
recommended.
HINT: Keep a few
mothballs in the
control box to
discourage insects
from entering it and
damaging the control
board.
Step 6
NOTE: NEVER USE THE SOLAR PANEL AND THE AC
TRANSFORMER AT THE SAME TIME! It will damage the
control board.
Feed the free end of the solar panel wires into the control
box and attach them to the appropriate terminals on the
control board (see illustration M). The RED solar panel wire
goes to the (+) POSITIVE solar terminal and the BLACK
solar panel wire goes to the (–) NEGATIVE solar terminal.
Tighten set screws against exposed end of wires.
