Kudzima Simba: Turn off the main power supply at the circuit breaker before beginning any wiring.
Kukwidza: Securely mount the transformer in a suitable location, ensuring adequate ventilation and protection from physical damage.
Input Wiring (277V): Connect the black wire from the transformer to the live 277V input line and the white wire to the neutral 277V input line. Ensure connections are secure and insulated.
Output Wiring (11.5V): Connect the two red wires from the transformer to the 12V halogen lamp(s). Polarity typically does not matter for AC low voltage output, but follow lamp manufacturer's instructions if specified.
Grounding: Connect the transformer's ground wire (if present, typically green or bare copper) to a reliable earth ground.
Verification: Double-check all connections for correctness and security.
Kudzoreredza Simba: Dzorera simba pamutambo wedunhu.

Cherechedza: The transformer is designed for 12-volt halogen lamps. Using other lamp types or exceeding the 105W maximum load may damage the unit or lamps.

Operating Instruction

Once properly installed and powered, the Hatch RS12-105-277 transformer operates automatically. It provides a stable 11.5V AC output for connected halogen lamps. If connected to a compatible dimmer, the light output can be adjusted via the dimmer control.

The electronic short circuit protection will automatically shut down the output in case of a short circuit, protecting both the transformer and the lamps. The unit will attempt to restart once the short circuit condition is removed.
