Guide to Rosenlite Wire SystemsCare should be taken when installing low voltage rope and track light systems to ensure tight connections, as the long runs (max 6m) and high amperage associated with low voltage means that heat will be produced by loose connections. In runs of more than 6 meters insulated connectors must be used, and each run can be supplied separately from the same phase. When using 150/200/300VA toroidal transformers the MCB may need to be uprated to a motor rated “C” type to prevent unnecessary tripping*. Our 6mm wire is rated at 300VA. Although Toroidal transformers are dimmable using the appropriate inductive dimmer switch we do not recommend this as “humming” is sometimes experienced because of the length of run. We do not recommend electronic transformers for wire runs. All light fittings are sold without lamps, glass or accessories. * We also sell SS1 Surge Protectors that reduce start up surge by up to 50%. SS1 NTP=£3.99 The wire rope is fixed by means of cable holders and straining sets (these are sold in pairs). The straining sets allow adjustment to the tautness of the cable (on longer runs we recommend a straining set is used on both ends). The use of an in-line strainer can allow extra adjustment but the cable may still need to be supported with ceiling supports on longer runs, which can drop to 150mm. If a longer drop is needed steel support wire (888.22) sold by the metre and steel wire holders (888.39) can be used. The straining sets and cable holders come in two base sizes, the larger base utilising two screws for better fixing the smaller base with one hidden central fixing. Should you be fixing to metal work or flooring insulated strainers and cable holders must be used. The 6mm cable is sold by the metre, so if you require a 5 metre run you will need to order 10 metres for the 5 metre parallel run and additional cable to connect the transformer via the power feed nuts (888.50 pair). Your Rosenlite wire system will provide you with a very attractive lighting option, but it does require to be maintained at regular intervals. When changing lamps or adjusting fitting we recommend that all connections are checked for tightness. If you are installing in an area where movement is possible (timber frame building/under mezzanine) we suggest regular tightening of all connections as movement of the product will loosen connections, and result in arcing. Ensure that you use a minimum of 6mm2 cable between transformer and track/wire and keep the length to a minimum by mounting transformer as near to track/wire as possible Selecting Rosenlite Wire SystemsPlease Click on Image Below for Downloadable pdf.... |
