8.3A Transformer

Spotlight 12
Above listing is for maximum number of each individual types of lights.
If mixing and matching lighting, contact Trex to determine if more than
one transformer is required.
NOTES:
» Each Trex Spotlight requires use of a dedicated
36V Step-up Transformer (included with each Trex
Spotlight). WARNING: Step-up Transformer DOES
NOT have fault protection, thus care must be taken if
testing.
» Spotlights must use a dedicated line running
directly from the included 36V Step-up Transformer.
Maximum of 12 spotlights are allowed per one
8.3 (100W)-amp transformer. (NOTE: Must use
three multi-zone transformer adapters if installing
all 12 spotlights to single 5A transformer as multi-
zone transformer adapter is designed for up to five
spotlights.) Spotlights have a male lead and require
the use of a female-to-female adaptor to connect
spotlight to connector wire. The spotlight fixture has
a male lead. Install the extension cable accordingly.
DO NOT mix any other lights on the spotlight circuit.
Applying 36V to any other fixture types will result in
very short diode life and will void warranty.
» DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO SPOTLIGHT
WHEN ON. THIS LIGHT IS VERY BRIGHT.
1. Locate placement of spotlights and lead wiring.
Plan accordingly if you choose to bury wire under
concrete or other
permanent structures.
2. Connect male lead from
light to female to one
end of female adaptor.
3. Connect opposite end of female adaptor to male
connector wire. Choose appropriate length wire
based on your needs. Run all wire on the surface
back to the location of the power supply.
4. Connect opposite end of male connector wire cable
to female end on Step-up Transformer. If using more
than one spotlight, use multi-zone transformer
adapter on Step-up Transformer, making sure
that each spotlight is utilizing its own 36V Step-up
Transformer. Wire the Step-up Transformer or
multi-zone transformer adapter to the 8.3A (100W)
main transformer.
5. If using an optional dimmer (recommended),
simply place the dimmer between the multi-zone
transformer adapter and main transformer.
6. Test lights to ensure power supply, connections,
and light fixtures all work
properly and placement
is appropriate.
7. Ensure that all unused
connections on multi-
zone transformer
adapter are covered
using weather-resistant
silicone.
