5. Налаштування та встановлення
Виконайте такі кроки для правильного встановлення трансформатора для ландшафтного освітлення:
- Підготовка місця встановлення: Choose a suitable outdoor location for wall mounting, ensuring it is at least 1 foot (30 cm) above ground and away from water sources like pools or spas. The location should also have access to a covered GFCI outlet.
- Встановіть блок живлення: Use the provided screws and anchor walls to securely mount the transformer to a sturdy surface. Ensure the mounting screws are spaced approximately 3 inches (7.6 cm) apart horizontally.
- Connect Landscape Lighting Cables: Strip 5/8 inch (1.6 cm) of insulation from the ends of your low voltage landscape lighting cables. Connect these cables to the transformer's output terminals. Ensure a secure connection for each wire.
- Mount the Photo Eye Sensor: The detachable photocell sensor should be mounted in a location that receives natural light, free from obstructions or artificial light sources that could interfere with its operation. Secure the sensor using its bracket.
- Підключити до живлення: Once all connections are secure and the transformer is mounted, plug the transformer's power cord into a covered GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet. Ensure the outlet is at least 12 inches (30 cm) above ground level.

6. Режими роботи та налаштування
The Malibu transformer offers five distinct operating modes, selectable via the rotary dial on the control panel, to meet various lighting needs and optimize energy usage. The digital display allows for precise time setting.
Figure 7: Control panel and operating instructions for the Malibu transformer.
Налаштування годинника:
Use the "CLOCK" button and the up/down arrows to set the current time. Ensure the AM/PM indicator is correct.
Режими роботи:
- ВИМКНЕНО: The power pack is completely off. Lights will not illuminate.
- ON: The power pack is continuously on. Lights will remain illuminated until manually turned off or the mode is changed.
- AUTO (Dusk to Dawn): In this mode, the detachable photocell sensor activates the lights at dusk and automatically deactivates them at dawn. This provides fully automated, energy-efficient operation.
- Countdown Timer (4, 6, 8, 10 Hours): This mode utilizes the photocell sensor to turn lights on at dusk, and then automatically turns them off after a set duration of 4, 6, 8, or 10 hours. Select the desired duration using the rotary dial.
