General Information

» ALWAYS consult local codes before beginning a project.

» A maximum of 60 lights can be powered by one 60W

transformer. If your project requires more than 60

lights, contact 1-800-BUY-TREX for transformer sizing.

» Straight runs over 100' (30.5 m) may require larger wire

such as 16 or 14 gauge.

» Use Trex Transformer only. Use of any other

transformer voids warranty.

Planning

Note: When designing your deck, plan locations of lights,

power supply, timer, and dimmer. These should be accessible

for service.

1. The dimmer remote will work

in a 30' (9 m) radius of the unit.

2. The dimmer must be installed

in a dry location. Keep dimmer

remote ID # in a safe place in

case a replacement remote is

needed.

3. The timer must be installed vertically

with the receptacle facing downwards

and not reaching ground level.

The timer must be in view of the sun

to use the dusk/dawn feature.
