PLANNING:Prior to installation, find locations for your transformer,timer, and dimmer if applicable. These need to be accessible. A GFCI outlet is required to help prevent damage to lights due to electrical incidents.

» Plug the timer into a GFCI outlet located in a dry area.» The timer must be installed vertically with the receptical facing down. » If using an EZ Photocell Timer, make sure the timer is located somewhere that sees daylight. » The timer, dimmer, and transformer must be installed as per local/state and federal safety regulations.

Notes:» Always check local codes before beginning your project.» Use DEKOR® transformers ONLY. Using any other transformer voids our warranty.» Need longer wires? Contact us at 1.800.258.0344.

EZ YARD DOT INSTALLATION:We recommend live wiring your project (installing with lightsconnected to power) to ensure complete connections and functionality.

From Transformer

Face connectors AWAY from the edge you are

installing against.

First, create a small trough in the installation medium (grass, gravel, etc.) and press the EZ Yard Dot housing into trough with the long side against the paver, driveway, or path.

Then, push the EZ Yard Dot all the way into the installation medium. The top of the light will tolerate gentle taps from a rubber mallet if necessary, but never use a metal hammer.

If the ground is very hard, you may need to create a pilot hole with an iron spike or equivalent tool.

Finally, attach cables to the remaining connections as required to get power to the next light in your installation.

The cables do not require a certain bury depth, so cover the completed connections and cables with grass, mulch, gravel, or other material to complete your project.

Damage to the lights resulting from excessive force is not covered under warranty.
