2-CIRCUIT MONORAIL - LBL Lighting

Monorail Basicsdesign your 2-Circuit Monorail systemWhen designing your 2-Circuit Monorail system, the first step isto determine what you would like to light. Choose your decorativeelements (fixtures), where they should be installed to put the lightwhere you want it, and which elements will be controlled by eachcircuit. The placement of the conductive metal screw in the element’ssystem adapter determines which circuit controls the element. Fora visual reference of the elements available, refer to pp. 10-13. Youwill see a thumbnail image of the element as well as a page numberindicated where to find detailed ordering information. Some elementsmay be customized by adding decorative and functional accessories.Layout your 2-Circuit Monorail run. Rail can be installed straight orcan be field-bent to create an organic shape or follow architecturaldetails. We also offer pre-bent 2-Circuit Monorail options for addedflexibility. Once your layout is complete, measure the length of the runto determine the quantity and length of 2-Circuit Monorail sectionsrequired (p. 262). Finish your run with a set of End Caps (p. 263).add power and hardware to complete your systemDetermine how far from the ceiling thatyou would like to position the system. UseTelescoping Rigid Standoffs for curvy runs orif you want the ability to fine-tune the dropfrom the ceiling without any cutting (p. 264).Adjustable cable standoffs offer a minimalappearance (p. 264).Selecting a transformer is as easy as addingup the total wattage of all the lamps you willbe using on the system. Each transformerfeatures two independent 120 or 277 voltcircuits that may be switched independently.24 volt transformers cannot be used with2-Circuit Monorail. Remote transformerswith Power Feed canopies offer a minimalappearance. Surface transformers may beinstalled over an existing junction box.Remember when using LED heads andpendants to choose a transformer that isLED compatible. Use the infomation on pp.266, 268 to help you choose the correcttransformer for your design.2-CIRCUIT MONORAIL260
