C. Preparing the Rail Sections for Installation
Step 1. Locate the three sections of rail and the rail joiners packet (E), which contains the 2 pcs rail joiners, 1 pc alien wrench and several extra set screws.

Step 2. If you would like to customize the length of the rails, use a hacksaw to cut to the desired length. Use a file or equivalent to remove any burs from the rails. Remove and replace the end caps to the ends of the rails.
A. End cap

Step 3. To bend or curve the rail, follow step 4, If the rail will be mounted as a straight run, skip to step 5.
Step 4. Use a round kitchen tabletop or similar household item as a template to bend the rail. Carefully hold the rail with one hand starting from the center and working towards the ends. Table Top ( A ), Waste Paper Basket (B), Counter Top (C) Plywood Template (D)

Step 5. Secure the pieces of rail together by inserting the ends of the rail firmly into the rail joiners. Tighten the Allen set screws with the Allen wrench provided.

D. Installing the Rails to the Ceiling
Step 1. Locate the four standoffs and the standoff mounting hardware packet (E) which contains 4 pcs screws, 1 pc Allen wrench, 4 pcs drywall anchors and 4pcs threaded washers

Step 2. Lay the assembled rail on the floor directly under the transformer.

Step 3. The transformer and the standoffs will be used to support the rail from the ceiling providing a total of five supports. Use a pencil and tape measure to mark two of the support locations on the rail 6″ from each end of the rail.

Step 4. Mark the remaining support locations on the rail no more than 38″ apart. It is acceptable for a support location to fall directly over a rail joiner.

Step 5. Lift the rail to the ceiling. Lining the rail up with the Transformer, Use a pencil to transfer the standoff locations to the ceiling.

Step 6. Line up the drywall anchors with the marks on the ceiling and use a hammer to tap the anchor approximately 1/2″ into the ceiling. Stop just before the threaded portion of threaded portion of the anchor enters the ceiling.

Step 7. Finish the installation using a screw driver to screw the anchor until is flush to the ceiling.

Step 8. Secure a threaded washer to the flushed anchor by driving a screw into the anchor. Threaded Washer A).

Step 9. Secure the standoff assembly to the threaded washer.
Standoff Assembly A)
Step 10. Repeat step 6 and 8 for the remaining standoffs.

E. Securing the Rail to the Ceiling

Step 1. Remove the transformer power feed cap from the base of the power feed. (A) Power Feed Cap

Step 2. Remove the standoff caps. (A) Standoff Cap

Step 3. Slide the rail into the standoffs and the transformer power feed.

Step 4. While supporting the rail, screw the transformer power feed cap back onto the transformer. The connection must be tight.

Step 5. Screw the standoff caps back onto each of the standoffs.

F. Installing the Mini Pendants
Step 1. Locate the two mini pendants

Step 2. Remove the standoff cap from each of the standoff. Standoff Cap A)
Step 3. Remove the standoff completely.

Step 4. Use the Allen wrench provided to loosen the screw (do not remove completely} and install the wire.
