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 transfor-
mer. The connector has cable lugs on one side that can be connected to the clamps of the transformer.
Cable
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) ex-
tension 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.
Connecting the low voltage cable to the transformer
Connecting the cable to the transformer by use of a 12 Volts Lightpro connector
Use the connector 143A (male, type Y) to connect the main cable to the transformer. Insert the end of the
cable into the connector and firmly tighten the connector <Fig. D4>. Push the cable lugs under the con-
nections on the transformer. Firmly tighten the screws and make sure that there is no insulation between the
connections <Fig. D5>.
Stripping the cable, applying cable lugs and connecting to transformer
Another possibility to connect the 12 volt cable to the transformer is the use of cable lugs. Strip about 10 mm
of insulation off the cable and apply cable lugs to the cable. Push the cable lugs under the connections on
the transformer. Firmly tighten the screws and make sure that there is no insulation between the connections
<Fig. F>.
PLEASE NOTE!
Connecting a stripped cable without cable lugs to the connecting terminals may cause poor contact.
This poor contact may result in heat generation which may damage the cable or the transformer.
