LX - Linking Transformers

The LX Transformer can be controlled from another transformer via the 1–24 volt EXTERNAL connection. 

If you have multiple transformers on a single site, a PRIMARY transformer can be designated to trigger them all.

The PRIMARY controls all lighting functions via its timing and/or control functions.  The SLAVE initiates when the PRIMARY starts its lighting function.

                                                                           

                                                   

  • Installation

Step 1

Select PRIMARY controller and ensure that the POWER IS OFF.

Step 2

Run the low voltage wire from the common and one of three voltage taps from the PRIMARY TRANSFORMER into the slave controller via the EXT (external) input.

Step 3

At the SLAVE TRANSFORMER, be sure to set the ON TIME to “NONE” so that the unit only comes on due to the EXT input.  The SLAVE TRANSFORMER is now ready to receive input from the PRIMARY TRANSFORMER.

Step 4

To confirm connection, reestablish power to both PRIMARY and SLAVE transformers.

Step 5

Activate lights via the PRIMARY TRANSFORMER.  A positive connection can be confirmed by the EXT light on the faceplate of the SLAVE TRANSFORMER(S) turning green.
