monorail system
ordering guide
Covering almost any design need, our system components have
been specifically designed to simplify the ordering process.
Follow these 3 simple steps to determine the components you
need (listed on pgs. 10-11).
Then choose your rail-ready spotlights and pendants from the
following pages, using series #RSP (for spotlights) or #RXP (for
pendants).
Total Load Suggestions
• For all 50W elements,
simply multiply QTY x50
• For elements with
different lamp ratings,
simply ADD all the
wattages
Add finish choice to your part numbers:
-BR
Bronze
-SN
Satin Nickel
For optimal performance,
it is best to locate the feed
near the center of the rail.
Step
1
Select the appropriate power supply for your needs:
A) Determine total load
QTY Desired Light Elements = _________ x Wattage = _________ Total Load
B) When the Power Supply is local to the monorail
(surface-mounted)
Total Load (Watts) _________ ÷ 60 = _________
(QTY)
R12-SA60LED
LED Surface Power Supply
OR
Total Load (Watts) _________ ÷ 150 = _________
(QTY)
R12-SA150
Electronic Surface Transformer
OR
Total Load (Watts) _________ ÷ 300 = _________
(QTY)
R12-SM300
Magnetic Surface Transformer
C) When the Power Supply is remote
Total Load (Watts) _________ ÷ 300 =_________
(QTY)
R12-RM300
Magnetic Remote Transformer
PLUS
_________
(QTY)
R12-REMFC
Remote Feed Canopy
(required for each 300W of remote power supply)
Step
2
Select your rail and fittings:
A) Rail Sections
Total Desired Length (in Ft) _________ ÷ by 8 = _________
(QTY)
R12-RAIL8
8 Ft Sections
(if needed to achieve desired length)
_________
(QTY)
R12-RAIL4
4 Ft Sections
B) Live Rail Connectors
QTY Rail Sections _________ – QTY Power Supplies = _________
(QTY)
R12-ICONN
Live Rail Connectors
OR
QTY Rail Sections _________ – QTY Power Supplies = _________
(QTY)
R12-LCONN
Live “L” Rail Connectors
C) Isolating Rail Connectors
QTY Power Supplies Per System _________ – 1 = _________
(QTY)
R12-DCONN
Isolating Rail Connectors
(may be 0 if qty of power supplies = 1)
D) End Caps
QTY Systems Ordered _________ x 2 = _________
(QTY)
R12-NDCAP
End Caps
Step
3
Select the right support hardware:
A) For Standard Flat Ceiling
(rigid standoffs)
Total Length of System _________ ÷ 2 =
(QTY)
(QTY)
R12-STAN1
Rigid Standoffs
B) For Sloped Ceiling
(swivel standoffs)
Total Length of System _________ ÷ 2 = _________
(QTY)
R12-STAN2
Swivel Standoffs
(sloped ceiling use typically requires extension posts, see at right)
C) For High Ceiling
(adjustable cable support)
Total Length of System _________ ÷ 2 = _________
(QTY)
R12-CBL60
Adjustable Cable Supports
QTY Power Supplies per system = _________
(QTY)
R12-FLX60
Flexible Feed Cable
D) To Increase Height of Standoffs
QTY of Rigid or Swivel Standoffs _________ = _________
(QTY)
R12-EXT06
6” Extension Posts
(choose extension length)
_________
(QTY)
R12-EXT12
12” Extension Posts
_________
(QTY)
R12-EXT18
18” Extension Posts
Note: 600W Remote
Magnetic Transformer
• 600W Magnetic Remote
Power Supply can be
used to replace 2x 300W
power supplies
Rail Length Suggestions
• For rail sections, round
up or add 4’ length(s)
• Curves require extra
rail, we suggest adding
20% to the total
Standoff Suggestions
• A surface transformer
often acts as a support,
which may reduce the
qty of rigid standoffs
by one
• On sloped ceilings,
typically the height
of the standoffs will
vary, so extension
posts may be required
