Install the Transformer
1: Select the location between the wall studs (16" apart) where
the transformer is to be mounted.
2: Place the transformer between the studs and fasten it to the
studs through the bracket holes with four #8 or #10 screws
(not provided).

1: Install two THHN low voltage wires from the transformer
to the electrical box to which the power feed canopy will be
attached. Run the proper size wire using the "Low Voltage
Wire Size Chart" below.
2: Insert one low voltage wire into the secondary terminal
marked "COM" and tighten the screw firmly.
3: Insert the second low voltage wire to the "T2" tap terminal
(default) and tighten the screw firmly.
4: Measure the voltage at the power wires coming into the
transformer. If the voltage is not in the range of 250-277
volt, then pick the proper terminal tap using the "Terminal
Tap Chart" to reconnect the second low voltage wire.
5: Install drywall.
