1) Determine desired location for mounting transformer. NOTE:

When deciding location for mounting consideration should be

taken for the requirements listed above.

2) Mark position of top portion of the keyhole slot location at

top of transformer and the slot located at bottom.

3) If mounting to a solid surface such as wood, siding, etc;

A) Drill 1/8” diameter pilot holes at positions marked in

Step 2.

B) Drive screws approximately half way into holes.

If mounting to drywall:

A) Drill 1/4” diameter holes at positions marked in Step 2.

B) Push plastic anchors into holes and tap until ﬂush.

C) Drive screws approximately half-way into plastic

anchors.

4) Slip large portion of keyhole over head of top screw and allow

transformer to slide down, making sure bottom slot is behind

head of bottom screw.

5) Tighten screws until transformer is secure.

6) Split 12/2. 10/2, or 8/2 cable approximately 3”, and strip 1/2”

insulation off each wire. 12/2. 10/2, and 8/2 cable is the

heavy black cable which all Kichler

12-volt low voltage

lighting ﬁxtures will be connected.

(Reference above for description and part numbers).

7) On the bottom of the terminal block push one bare wire into

the hole marked “COM” and tighten the corresponding screw

on terminal block face until wire is secure. See chart for

terminal screw tightening speciﬁcation.

8) For optimum light output, the voltage at the lamp socket

should range between 10.8 and 12 volts for incandescent

products. Most Kichler

LED products operate optimally

from 9-15V.

For more information on voltage drop, consult the Kichler

Landscape Lighting Catalog or contact your local Kichler

distributor.

9) Push remaining bare wire into the hole marked 15V on

bottom of terminal block and tighten the corresponding

screw on terminal block face until wire is secure.

• Finding Transformer Load: Low voltage systems require the

use of a transformer to reduce standard 120-VOLT power from

your home to 12-VOLTS. To determine the transformer size

you will need, add up the wattages of all lamps you plan to

use. Select a transformer that matches as closely as possible

to the total lamp wattage. For example, if you have 11 ﬁxtures

all rated at 24.4 watts, you will need a 300 watt (VA) transformer

(11 x 24.4 = 268.4 watts). Generally, the total lamp load should

not be less than one-third the transformers wattage rating, nor

exceed its maximum wattage capacity. If your total wattage is

too high, either divide the load between two transformers, or

use a more powerful transformer.

This instruction sheet covers the installation of the following Kichler

Transformers: 15PR75SS/15PL75XX. Read these instructions care-

fully before installing this unit.

Date Issued: 8/31/12 IS-15PR75-US

10) Above terminal blocks is a receptacle and a short power cord.

 • Ifusingplug-intimer(15556WH/15557BK):

A) Plug timer into receptacle.

B) Plug short power cord into timer

` C) Set timer following instructions provided with timer.

 • Ifnotusingplug-intimer:

A) Plug short power cord into receptacle.

11) Optional Photo control Installations:

A) Make sure power is off and transformer is NOT plugged

into an electrical outlet. NOTE: No splice is required,

transformer is equipped with jumper connector.

B) Open front cover of the transformer case by lifting

the cover up. Locate and disconnect the white jumper

connector inside the housing. *Save the jumper connector

with these instructions for possible future use.

C) Remove one (1) of the 7/8” diameter knockouts on

the side of the transformer and push the photo control

white connector through the knockout hole. Inside the

housing, slide the spacer and star nut over the white

connector and thread it on to the photo control and

tighten.

D) Plug photo control white connector into the housing

connector. Insure that the side latch locks the connectors.

E) Locate transformer and position photo control so that

no light will shine on the cell. It will cause the photo

control to cycle on and off. *In the unlikely event that

the photo control should fail, the lighting ﬁxtures will

remain on, even in the daytime. If this should happen,

follow these instructions and remove the defective

photo control and place the jumper connector in its place.

12) Plug power supply cord into standard 115/120 volt receptacle.

NOTE: The power supply cord must be plugged into a weather

tight receptacle equipped with a Ground Fault Interrupter

(GFCI).
