Kichler 15PR75 - Manual

1) Determine desired location for mounting transformer. NOTE:
When deciding location for mounting consideration should be
taken for the requirements listed above.
2) Mark position of top portion of the keyhole slot location at
top of transformer and the slot located at bottom.
3) If mounting to a solid surface such as wood, siding, etc;
A) Drill 1/8” diameter pilot holes at positions marked in
Step 2.
B) Drive screws approximately half way into holes.
If mounting to drywall:
A) Drill 1/4” diameter holes at positions marked in Step 2.
B) Push plastic anchors into holes and tap until flush.
C) Drive screws approximately half-way into plastic
anchors.
4) Slip large portion of keyhole over head of top screw and allow
transformer to slide down, making sure bottom slot is behind
head of bottom screw.
5) Tighten screws until transformer is secure.
6) Split 12/2. 10/2, or 8/2 cable approximately 3”, and strip 1/2”
insulation off each wire. 12/2. 10/2, and 8/2 cable is the
heavy black cable which all Kichler ® 12-volt low voltage
lighting fixtures will be connected.
(Reference above for description and part numbers).
7) On the bottom of the terminal block push one bare wire into
the hole marked “COM” and tighten the corresponding screw
on terminal block face until wire is secure. See chart for
terminal screw tightening specification.
8) For optimum light output, the voltage at the lamp socket
should range between 10.8 and 12 volts for incandescent
products. Most Kichler ® LED products operate optimally
from 9-15V.
For more information on voltage drop, consult the Kichler
Landscape Lighting Catalog or contact your local Kichler
distributor.
9) Push remaining bare wire into the hole marked 15V on
bottom of terminal block and tighten the corresponding
screw on terminal block face until wire is secure.
• This power supply is for use with landscape lighting systems

• WARNING: (for Power Supply Cord connected POWER UNIT)
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Install power unit 5 feet (1.5m) or
more from the pool, spa, or fountain where the power unit is
installed (a) indoor within 10 feet (3.0m) of a pool, spa, or
fountain, or (b) outdoor, connect power to unit to a receptacle
protected by a GFCI.
• This outdoor power unit shall be connected to a 115/120 volt
covered GFCI receptacle marked “Wet Location” while in use. • Mount the rain-tight transformer at least one foot above
ground level with the wire terminals facing down. NOTE: Do
not energize transformer until installation of system is complete.
• Direct burial rated wire is to be buried a minimum of 6”
(152mm) beneath the surface of the ground.
NOTE: If additional Direct Burial wire is needed, contact your
local Kichler
® landscape distributor.

1000’ (304 M), 15506-BK.
• Finding Transformer Load: Low voltage systems require the
use of a transformer to reduce standard 120-VOLT power from
your home to 12-VOLTS. To determine the transformer size
you will need, add up the wattages of all lamps you plan to
use. Select a transformer that matches as closely as possible
to the total lamp wattage. For example, if you have 11 fixtures
all rated at 24.4 watts, you will need a 300 watt (VA) transformer
(11 x 24.4 = 268.4 watts). Generally, the total lamp load should
not be less than one-third the transformers wattage rating, nor
exceed its maximum wattage capacity. If your total wattage is
too high, either divide the load between two transformers, or
use a more powerful transformer.
This instruction sheet covers the installation of the following Kichler ® Transformers: 15PR75SS/15PL75XX. Read these instructions care-
fully before installing this unit.
CIRCUIT BREAKER
(SECONDARY SIDE - 15 VOLT SIDE)
• Circuit breaker will trip if there is a short
or if total wattage installed exceeds rated
wattage per circuit.
• To reset breaker, flip switch to ‘OFF’ then
back to ‘ON’ position.
• If the unit cycles on and off without regard
to the timer setting, it should be checked
by a qualified service person.
THERMAL PROTECTION
(PRIMARY SIDE - 120 VOLT SIDE)
• This unit is equipped with a thermal
protector and will shut off if overheated.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Date Issued: 8/31/12 IS-15PR75-US
10) Above terminal blocks is a receptacle and a short power cord.
• If using plug-in timer (15556WH/15557BK):
A) Plug timer into receptacle.
B) Plug short power cord into timer
` C) Set timer following instructions provided with timer.
• If not using plug-in timer:
A) Plug short power cord into receptacle.
11) Optional Photo control Installations:
A) Make sure power is off and transformer is NOT plugged
into an electrical outlet. NOTE: No splice is required,
transformer is equipped with jumper connector.
B) Open front cover of the transformer case by lifting
the cover up. Locate and disconnect the white jumper
connector inside the housing. *Save the jumper connector
with these instructions for possible future use.
C) Remove one (1) of the 7/8” diameter knockouts on
the side of the transformer and push the photo control
white connector through the knockout hole. Inside the
housing, slide the spacer and star nut over the white
connector and thread it on to the photo control and
tighten.
D) Plug photo control white connector into the housing
connector. Insure that the side latch locks the connectors.
E) Locate transformer and position photo control so that
no light will shine on the cell. It will cause the photo
control to cycle on and off. *In the unlikely event that
the photo control should fail, the lighting fixtures will
remain on, even in the daytime. If this should happen,
follow these instructions and remove the defective
photo control and place the jumper connector in its place.
12) Plug power supply cord into standard 115/120 volt receptacle.
NOTE: The power supply cord must be plugged into a weather
tight receptacle equipped with a Ground Fault Interrupter
(GFCI).
