SERVICE MANUAL
Model: PX600
TWO 300 WATT TRANSFORMERS IN ONE ENCLOSURE
RATING, EACH TRANSFORMER:
INPUT: 120V 60 Hz. 3 Amp. Max
OUTPUT: 12V, 13V, or 14V AC 300 Lamp -Watts Max Any Tap Each Circuit
Suitable for direct connection to underwater lights and for Indoor/Outdoor installations except in CANADA - Low
Voltage Landscape Lighting installation - Outdoor only.
Read and follow the safety instructions listed below and other basic safety precautions before installation or
operation of this transformer and other associated equipment.
This Safety Transformer is specifically designed to
supply 12 volts to pool/spa lights, submersible
fixtures and outdoor garden lights. A grounded shield
between the primary and secondary winding assures
safe operation and the built-in circuit
protection will disconnect power to the transformer in
case of defect or overload.
