Can you connect more than 1 wire to each terminal?

Yes you can but if possible it's better to run a single wire to a central location and split them from there. If the wires go in opposite directions from the transformer then yes more than one can easily fit. I would tape them together then twist the ends so one doesn't slip out when tightening the screw. Hope this helps

Most likely you can. It will depend upon the size of the wire. There is a screw that you loosen to insert the wire and the opening is fairly large so you should be able to get more than one wire installed.

You must choose which terminal based on which voltage you need (12, 14,or16 I think). You cannot use both or all 3 voltages at one time. But, you can connect multiple lines to one terminal.

Yes. I have 12 gauge wire and there is sufficient clearance for multiple runs (wires).

Each terminal provides either 12, 13, 14, or 15 volts -- and yes, as long as you can squeeze the wires into the slots (or simply splice them together and send one wire to the box), it works fine for them to be joined. I have 3 sets of wires coming from different parts of the yard, all going to one of the terminals.

yes you can...most multi tap transformers have room for 2-3 home run wires such as 12/2 direct burial.

NEC states only one wire per terminal, but the unit would work fine with 2, if you do not do it to code. It would have to be a very secure connection to avoid resistance heating. Try to do it to code if possible, extra breakers are only $15. Replacing some 15 and 20 amp single pole breakers with Tandem breakers in other slots would allow space to insert the extra breaker at the top of the lineup and keep it to code.

Yes. That means you can use GPIO to control each one separately and you can trigger them on different GPIO ports.

Yes. Installation to the terminals can be with or without crimping the wires to a ring fastener (to ensure a secure fit to the cable terminals). Hope this helps.

you should be able to use three. two panels on two connectors and then connect those connectors to a third one. Much like the branches of a tree.

The pads are changeable and they snap onto the terminal at the end of the wire. The unit can use 4 pads at a time.

No, you need all 5 for 5 wire to work. There will be no signal on only one of the 5 cables. It's Blue, Red, Green, X Sync, Y Sync, each on it's own cable.

You're probably thrown off because it had two sets of terminals. That's so you can run these in series. You can attach neutral to either one of the terminals of one pair and vice versa for hot, and it doesn't matter which one. So if you only have one wire, you have one empty terminal on each side.

Yes, you do. Most any flasher will do. I've tried both 2 and 3 terminal flashers. For a 2 terminal flasher, just wire the black and blue wires together. The wiring diagrams on the internet show 3 terminal flashers.

I believe you can if you install an identical SwitchLinc in the other location as well. I've thought about doing this, but I'm afraid the 3 way wiring is a little advanced for me. Not to mention that you need to use twice the number of SwitchLincs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twEvh3Vua8U

You need something to split into 2 different directions. A small terminal block would work.

Brian, you would need two of these to reroute wires in 2 different directions. Happy wiring!

They can be used to do that. But keep the clips from each other so you do not short out anything. Of course a better way is to use 16 gauge wire, wrapped around the power pack screws and the screws on your terminal track. The bare wire under a tight screw head is more secure and provides better electrical contact. Take care,

you don't have to use the same gauge wire in each terminal.10 gauge will work fine.

Yes, two of these will connect together. Observe the polarity markings molded into the body of each connector when you install the wires. They will connect to each other only the correct way.

There are a separate set of two terminals for each of two lines of lights. As it is 12 volt you can hook up your cable to whichever set you choose. Don't worry about which one goes where as long as you use the same set of terminals. Unless you run a transformer on the same line of a long run with a transformer on each end. I have done this and it takes some planning as the 120 volt transformers also need to be on the same circuit and wired alike or you will blow a transformer.

Yes, each pair of terminals is connected, and electricaly isolated from the next pair.
