IMPORTANT:
• For use with landscape
lighting systems only.
• The device is accepted as a
component of a landscape
lighting system where the
suitability of the combination
shall be determined by CSA
or local inspection authorities
having jurisdiction.
• Do not connect two or more
power supplies in parallel.
LOCATION
Hang your Toro Power Pack near
an outlet (Fig. 1).
Toro power packs
with a photo cell
must be
mounted so the
photo cell is
exposed to
natural light.
This photocell
shuts your lights off during daylight
hours. Avoid direct exposure to
street lights, porch lights,
headlights and other artificial
sources of light because this may
cause your system to shut off.
Hang the power pack (screw
provided) at least one foot (30 cm)
above the ground, making sure the
cord can reach the outlet. Make
sure the power pack is mounted
flush on a vertical surface (Fig. 2).
Mounting the Power Pack
improperly can result in corrosion
and overheating to the Power
Pack.
Your power pack’s cord plugs into a
120-volt covered GFCI outlet
marked “Wet Location.”. Do not
use an extension cord.
CONNECT THE CABLE TO
YOUR TORO POWER PACK.
Insert the connectors tightly into
the bottom of the power pack as
shown in Fig. 3. Install each light
with the power on. That way you’ll
know when you have a good
connection.
The VariSet™ Power Pack
(Fig. 4)
A photoelectric cell turns on the
power pack automatically. When
installing your lights, cover the
photoelectric window
completely with thick dark
tape. This will cause the photocell
to switch the power on.
The VariSet™ power pack has a
slide switch on the back. In the left
position, the lights will turn on at
dusk and stay on for four hours. In
the right position, the lights will
turn on at dusk and turn off at
dawn. The other two positions (6,
and 8) turn the lights on at dusk
and leave them on for 6 or 8 hours,
respectively.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT POWER PACKS
Overloads
Power packs have built-in overload
protection. If an overload occurs,
your power pack will shut off and
not turn back on for 5 to 20
minutes. If not corrected, the
power pack will keep cycling on
and off. Overloading may be
caused by:
• Too many fixtures.
• Using fixtures with bulb wat-
tages that are too high.
• A short in the cable.
Your power pack has enough output
for the lights that came with this kit.
If you want to add more fixtures,
please read page 11.
Power Failure
When power is restored after an
outage, your system will resume
normal operation without you
having to make any adjustments to
