CUTTING LINEAR ACCENT SERIES
1. Always make sure Linear Accent Series is disconnected from power source before cutting.
2. Utilizing a good pair of shears, cut the Linear Accent series between appropriate bulb sockets. For maximum flexibility,
cut should be made 3/16” opposite last bulb socket or run. This will allow at least 9-/16” to attach terminal block
connector for power on next run/project.
MOUNTING LINEAR ACCENT SERIES
1. Always make sure power is disconnected before modifying, mounting, or installing a section of Linear Accent Series.
2. Do not mount Linear Accent Series in a situation that does not have at least ½” clearance on the side of the fixture, and
1 ½” clearance above the lamp. Make sure area is well ventilated to dissipate bulb heat.
3. In situations where Linear Accent Series is continually mounted with lamps facing down, we suggest affixing with
mounting track (FSL-TRK-3 sold separately) or mounting screws (included).
INSTALLING BULBS
1. Disconnect power from the transformer.
2. Check that the filament of festoon bulb is in operable condition. Push individual festoon lamps into open connections
of each socket.
POWERING LINEAR ACCENT SERIES
Warning! Always make sure power to transformer is disconnected before attaching Linear Accent Series to output
side of transformer. Do not connect power to primary side of transformer without a load attached to secondary side.
This can damage the transformer’s coil.
1. Be sure to terminate each single run with and end cap (FSL-END sold separately) to ensure safety.
2. Using wire nuts and clamps suitable for the size and type of knockouts and following the
instructions included with transformer, attach each single run to the transformer.
Attaching Lead Wire
Note: If lead wire is required to bring power to the beginning of a run, an approved terminal block (FSL-BLK, sold
separately) and strain relief junction box (FSL-BOX, sold separately) must be used.
3. Determine length of lead wire (FSL-CABLE, sold separately or 12-gauge or better stranded wire) needed to
reach beginning of run from transformer location.
4. Strip back ½” of insulation from ends of both lead wire and the beginning of run.
5. Using a small screwdriver, secure the conductors to the terminal block. See Figure 1.
6. Enclose the terminal block with strain relief junction box by tightening four screws on the bottom cover plate.
See Figure 2.
7. Have a qualified electrician attatch transformer to 120-volt power supply.
