Location of the light/dark sensor
The light sensor might be influenced by artificial light.
Artificial light is light from the surroundings, such as
light from the own home, light from street lights and
cars, but also from other outside lights, for instance a
wall light. The sensor does not signal the “dusk” in case
artificial light is present and will therefore not activate
the transformer. Test the sensor by covering it, using the
included cap <Fig. B1>. After 45 seconds, the transformer
should be activated, turning on the lighting.
First check if all lights are functioning before deciding
to bury the cable in the ground.
THE SYSTEM
The Lightpro cable system consists of a 12 volt cable (50,
100 or 200 metres) and connectors. When connecting
the Lightpro light fixtures, you must use the Lightpro
12 volt cable in combination with the 12 volt Lightpro
transformer. Apply this product within the 12 Volt
Lightpro system, otherwise the warranty will become
invalid.
The European standards do not require the 12 volt cable
to be buried. In order to prevent damage to the cable, for
instance while hoeing, we recommend to bury the cable
at least 20 cm deep.
On the main cable (article numbers 050C14, 100C14 or
200C14) connectors are connected to link the lighting or
to make branches.
Connector 137A (type F, female)
<Fig. D1> This connector is included with every fixture
as a standard and is supposed to be connected to the 12
Volts cable. The fixture plug or the male connector type
M is connected to this connection. Connect the connector
to the cable by means of a simple twist.
Make sure that the 12 volt cable is clean before a
connector is connected, to prevent poor contact.
Connector 138 A (type M, male)
<Fig. D2+D3> This male connector is attached to the 12
volt cable in order to be able to connect the cable to the
female connector (137A, type F), with the aim to make a
branch.
Connector 143A (type Y, connection to transformer)
<Fig. D4+D5> This male connector is attached to the 12
volt cable in order to be able to connect the cable to the
transformer. The connector has cable lugs on one side
that can be connected to the clamps of the transformer.

LAYING A CABLE IN THE GARDEN
Lay the main cable through the entire garden. When
laying the cable, keep the (planned) paving in mind,
ensure that later on lighting can be fitted in any
position. If possible, apply a thin PVC tube under the
paving, where, later on, a cable can be led through.
Should the distance between the 12 volt cable and
the fixture plug still be too long, then a (1 m or 3 m)
extension cord can be used to connect the fixture.
Another way of providing a different part of the garden
with main cable is to make a branch on the main cable
which is connected to the transformer.
We recommend a cable length of 70 metres at most
between the transformer and the light fixtures <Fig. E1>.
Making a branch on the 12 volt cable
<Fig. E2> Make a connection to the 12 volt cable by use
of a female connector (137A, type F) <Fig. D1>. Take a
new piece of cable, connect it to the male connector
type M (138 A) by inserting the cable in the back of the
connector and firmly tighten the connector button <Fig.
D2>. Insert the plug of the male connector into the
female connector <Fig. D3>.
The number of branches that can be made is unlimited,
as long as the maximum cable length between
fixture and transformer and the maximum load of the
transformer are not exceeded.
