950RM15012

GP I :ENERAL RODUCT NFORMATION

This transformer is ETL listed for use with low voltage lighting

systems of brands offered by Encompass Lighting Group.

This product is suitable only for indoor dry locations and

approved for use at any height above the finished floor.

A typical installation is shown. Specific installation must be in

accordance with the local electrical codes.

This product may be dimmed only with a low voltage magnetic

dimmer. Using a dimmer not designed for low voltage

magnetic applications may work initially, but could eventually

cause transformer failure and will void the warranty.

The

dimmer must be derated as indicated by the dimmer

manufacturer.

This product is intended for use with Encompass Lighting

Group brands of low voltage lighting systems only.

During installation, make sure all power connections are tight.

Read all instructions thoroughly. Read "Important Safety

Information" on next column before proceeding with the

installation.

Important Safety Information

Do not conceal or extend bus bar conductors through a

building wall.

Do not install this lighting system in a damp or wet location.

To reduce the risk of fire and burns, do not install this lighting

system where the uninsulated open bus bar conductors can

be shorted or contact any conductive materials.

To reduce the risk of the system overheating and possibly

causing a fire, make sure all the connections are tight.

Do not install fixture assemblies closer than six inches to

curtains or similarly combustible materials.

Turn the electrical power off before modifying the lighting

system in any way.

The fixtures used with the system must be identified for use

with the corresponding system.

Minimum volume of the electrical box must be 6 cubic inches

(98 cubic centimeters).

To Reduce Risk of Fire, it is important to wire the remote

transformer for the system as described in this installation

instruction.

Load the circuit of the remote transformer to 150MAXIMUM

Watt.

NOTE: Other wire sizes that comply with electrical code can be used, but may result in an increased voltage drop and reduced lamp intensity. NOTE: The THHN wire sizes are for 3% or less drop in voltage based on 150 watt loads. Lengths are the distance from the transformer to the system power feed connector.

Check the System 2A COM X1 X2 X3 1 After installing the entire low voltage system, if the lamps have low intensity, then measure the voltage at the fixture closest to the power feed contacts with a voltmeter. The system must be at least 80% loaded and the voltmeter should read between 11V - 12V ~AC. If the voltage does not fall in this range, call Encompass Lighting Group "Technical Support" at 847-410-4606. 2 After installing the entire system, operate the system for five minutes.
