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

Then choose your rail-ready spotlights and pendants from the
following pages, using series #RSP (for spotlights) or #RXP (for
pendants).

need (listed on pgs. 10-11).

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 Sur face Transformer

C) When the Power Supply is remote

Total Load (Watts) _________ ÷ 300 =_________ (QTY) R12-RM300 Magnetic Remote Transformer

PLUS _________ (QT Y) 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

Total Load Suggestions

• For all 50W elements,
simply multiply QTY x50

• For elements with

dierent lamp ratings,
simply ADD all the
wattages

For optimal performance,
it is best to locate the feed
near the center of the rail.

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

Rail & SpotlightS

STEP

3 Select the right support hardware:

A) For Standard Flat Ceiling (rigid standos)

Total Length of System _________ ÷ 2 = (QTY) (QTY) R12-STAN1 R igid Standos

B) For Sloped Ceiling (swivel standos)

Total Length of System _________ ÷ 2 = _________ (QTY) R12-STAN2 Swivel Standos
(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 Standos

QTY of Rigid or Swivel Standos _________ = _________ (QTY) R12-EXT06 6” Extension Posts
(choose extension length) _________ (QTY ) R12-EXT12 12” Extension Posts

_________ (QTY ) R12-EXT18 18” Extension Posts

Stando Suggestions

• A surface transformer

often acts as a support,
which may reduce the

qty of rigid standos

by one

• On sloped ceilings,
typically the height
of the standos will
vary, so extension

posts may be required
