Please read carefully before installing – Keep these instructions
for use with landscape lighting systems only
This device is intended for installation in accordance with the National
Electric Code (NEC) and Local code specifications. Failure to adhere to
these codes and instructions may result in serious injury and/or property
damage and will void the warranty.
According to the requirements of the National Electric Code (NEC), 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.
• 8 GA wire can be purchased in length of 250’ (76 M), 15503-BK.
• 10 GA wire can be purchased in length of 250’ (76 M), 15504-BK.
• 12 GA wire can be purchased in lengths of 100’ (30 M), 15501-BK; 250’ (76 M),
15502-BK; 500’ (152M), 15505-BK; and 1000’ (304 M), 15506-BK.
The Synchronizer is a control module created to omit on/off timing disparities,
which are routine in a multiple transformer system. The Synchronizer allows
all connected transformers to be controlled simultaneously according to the
desired program and eliminates the need for costly timers, remote controls or
other electronic synchronizing devices.
Configuring several transformers in a series:
1) Turn off power.
2) Install a switching device, such as a timer, photocell or X-10 device in
transformer #1. The switching device will control all of the transformers in
the system that are connected using a Synchronizer.
3) Plug in one Synchronizer into each additional transformer (#2, #3, #4, etc.)
intended to be controlled.
4) A low-voltage wire, no smaller than #24-2 gauge, should be run from any
volt source from transformer #1 to the Synchronizer in transformer #2. A
wire should be run from transformer #2 to transformer #3, a wire should
be run from transformer #3 to transformer #4, etc. until all transformers are
connected.
5) One lead should be connected to the common tap and a second lead
should be connected to the 12, 13, 14, or 15V tap of transformer #1. Any
available voltage tap and any available common tap, regardless of lamp load,
may be used for the Synchronizer. Connect the wire from the Synchronizer
in transformer #2 to the Synchronizer in transformer #3.
Configuring a transformer distant from the other transformers:
1) A wire no smaller than #24-2 gauge should be run from any low voltage
power source (Junction, fixture or transformer) located after the switching
device on transformer #1 to the Synchronizer on the distant transformer.
(See Fig. 2 for junction wiring suggestions.)
2) To synchronize all transformers, repeat this process.
