Feeney DesignRail Installation Instructions Manual
Installa on Instruc ons
for DesignRail® 24VDC LED Ligh ng
Drivers are available in a variety of wa ages. In general a driver should not exceed more than 80% of its rated wa age.
(Example: 60W Driver = 60 x 0.8 = 48W Max).
Strip Lights require 1.44 wa s per foot. A er determining the necessary length of strip ligh ng, calculate the wa age and ensure the
driver being used has adequate capacity. (Example: 10’ = 10 x 1.44 = 14.4W)
The maximum length of strip ligh ng that can be connected in one run is 25 feet. If one sec on of ligh ng is longer than 25 feet, it
must be broken into mul ple smaller sec ons and run on separate circuits.
Building codes vary by loca on and jurisdic on. Consult all applicable codes before installing DesignRail® LED Ligh ng.DesignRail®
LED Ligh ng may not be suitable for every applica on and it is the sole responsibility of the installer to ensure that DesignRail® LED
Ligh ng is used for its intended purpose.
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE WHEN WORKING WITH ELECTRICITY. THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURIES OR DEATH. ELECTRICAL SHORTS CAN ALSO CAUSE FIRES AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE
ELECTRICAL OUTLET YOU ARE PLUGGING INTO IS GROUNDED.

Step 1 – Connect Source Power to Driver
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: TO REDUCE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, TURN OFF AC CIRCUIT BREAKER PRIOR TO COMMENCING ANY ELECTRICAL WORK AND
CONNECTING DRIVER(S) TO AC POWER SOURCE. VERIFY THAT LIVE POWER IS NOT PRESENT AT JUNCTION BOX WHEN MAKING CONNECTIONS.
Determine loca on of driver.
Note: It is best to locate the drivers as close as
possible to the lighࢼ ng to reduce the possibility
of voltage drop occuring. If possible, the driver
enclosure should be within 5 feet of the post that
will accept the 11' extension cable, acࢼ ng as the
lead wire to the fi rst strip light. If necessary, up
to 30 feet of 14 AWG wire can be used between
the driver and the 11' extension cable.
Route exterior rated wiring from compa ble
dimmer switch/AC power source to loca on of
driver.
Connect drivers to dimmer switch/AC power
source using wire nuts.
Connect 11' extension cable(s) and route outside
of driver to post.
If necessary, run up to 30 feet of 14 AWG wire
to a wet-loca on mini junc on box and transi -
on to solder connector.

STEP 2 - DRILL POSTS AND ROUTE LEAD WIRE
Note: Running the lead wire through the post is easier when done
prior to mounࢼ ng post.
Determine loca on that lead wire will enter post.
Note: Depending on the post mounࢼ ng method, and enclosure
locaࢼ on relaࢼ ve to the post, the lead wire entrance point may
vary. (See Figure 1.2 for typical recommendaࢼ ons)
Drill 1/2” diameter hole in post at desired lead wire entrance
loca on and insert supplied grommet, part #1114. (See Figure 1.1)
For Series 150: drill a 1/2” diameter hole ver cally centered
between the top RCB holes and insert supplied grommet (See
Figure 1.3).
the RCB hollow. Repeat this step for each post which will have
light strips running through it.
This will allow the light strip wiring to pass through
