CONDITIONS OF OPERATION

Adjusting the Light Rail 5.0 Commercial Drive variable time delay will be up to you, as all gardens are different. We suggest first setting the delay to 30 seconds. Then after observing your plant growth you may want to change the length of delay. A longer delay would dictate more light on the ends and less in
the middle. A shorter delay would be visa versa.
The first few weeks of operation will be the Drive Motors break-in period. The trolley wheels will turn gray as well as shed some nylon. The Drive Wheels
O-Ring may turn silver, and it too will shed some skin. These are both normal conditions as the moving parts of the Drive Motor conform to their prospective grooves of the Rail.
After several weeks of operation you may notice a slight pause as the Drive Motor starts up after changing direction, this is normal. It is the D Hole of the
molded Drive Wheel showing some wear and loosening up upon the Drive Motors' shaft. Again this is normal and is a good thing as it will allow the Drive
Wheel to self adjust upon the Motors' shaft. As for the pause when the Drive motor changes direction, this also is normal and good. It will reduce the load
on the gear train while changing direction.
It is a good idea to use a timer on the Drive Motor. After all, the lamp need not be moving when the lights are out. This period of off time adds up, and
will greatly reduce wear on the Drive Motor.
You should wipe the Rail off with a dry cloth from time to time. If cleaning the rail becomes necessary use rubbing alcohol or window cleaner. Never use
any petroleum or wax based substance on the rail or the rubber drive wheel.
If drive wheel slippage should ever become an issue, it is OK to clean the drive wheels rubber tires. Again use rubbing alcohol or window cleaner. Never use
any petroleum or wax based substance on the rail or the rubber drive wheel.

Ridged mounting lights to the cross bar is not recommended. Many horizontal reflectors
incorporate wire vee hooks. We recommend using them or use chains and hooks to allow for
lamp height adjustment.
Running the cords can be a cumbersome task. It is important that the Drive Motor can travel
its full distance to both ends without restriction from the cords.
Some say it is best to bring the cords in from the side rather than bringing them in from the
end. After bundling the cords together, run the system down to both ends to find the correct
fastening point of the cords. Then fasten them to the ceiling or the wall leaving enough slack
so the Drive Motor can travel its full distance to both ends without restriction
Things to check before operation.

1/4” Cross bar
Hanging Screws

At this time you can remove the yellow tag and wire tie on the Drive Motor.
Now your ready to hang your lights.
Below are some suggestions for doing so.
As you hang the first light, the unit will become very unbalanced and tip to one side. Don't
worry about it, just be careful, it will even out when you hang the second light. Or if another
person is available, they can hold the opposite end while you hang the first light. We do not
recommend trying to hang both lights simultaneously. We've tried. It does not work very well.

Assembly Tools Required
Phillips head screwdriver, tape measure, chalk line or string, drill,
phillips driver bit, 1/8'' drill bit, 7/16" wrench, pliers.

1. Straight, level and secure rail mounting is essential for both safety and
operation. Please be sure of this.
2. Make sure the switch stop eye screws are tight and make contact with the
Drive Motors switch actuator.
3. Be sure the lamps are hung securely from the crossbar
4. If the cross bar is not level, you can adjust the wing nuts to help level the bar.
5. Be sure the Drive Motor can travel its full distance to both ends without
restriction from the cords.
6. Be sure the yellow tag and wire tie have been removed from the Drive Motor

STEP FOUR: INSTALLING THE CROSS BAR

1 - Cross bar splint

10 -1/4" Hex Nuts

Tools you will need: 7/16" wrench, Pliers

2- 1/4" x 1 1/2"
Crossbar to Splint Screws

4 - Lamp Hanging
Eye Screws

STEP ONE: RAIL ASSEMBLY

2 - Cross bar ends
2 - Rail Halves

Crossbar Width Adjustment Holes

Now that the cross bar is assembled it can be mounted to
the Drive Motor. Locate the two holes in the center of the
cross bar splint. Slide them over the two 1/4" screws protruding from the bottom of the Drive Motor and fasten it
using the 2 - 1/4" Wing nuts fig 4-4. Be sure to tighten the
wing nuts until the 1/4" screws on the bottom of the drive
motor begin to protrude from the bottom of the wing nuts.
(fig. 4-4)

Fig 1-3

fig 4-2

2 - Slide Nuts

4 - #10 x 3/8"
Machine Screws

Start by matching ends of rail halves
with arrows. While making sure the
alignment pins line up with their corresponding holes, push the two rail halves
together (Fig 1-1); if needed you can
tamp the rail end on the floor to assist in
pushing the rail halves all the way
together (Fig 1-2).

Fig 1-1

fig. 4-1

After inserting the 2 cross bar ends into the cross bar
splint secure them using the 2 - 1/4" x 1 1/2" Crossbar to
Splint Screws and 2 of the 1/4" Hex Nuts.
(fig. 4-2)
Next install the 4 - Lamp Hanging eye screws with the
remaining1/4" Hex Nuts (fig 4-3). There are two sets of
holes on each end to accommodate different light widths.
Also, as in the Light Rail 5 logo you can see the cross bar
ends are bent. If you have a particularly high ceiling you
may want to hang the crossbar with the bends down opposite the logo. This you will need to decide so the 1/4" eye
screws are mounted facing the right way.

1 - Rail Coupler

2 - 1/4" Wing nuts

Start by inserting the 2 cross bar ends into the cross bar
splint.
Next align the holes in the cross bar splint with the holes
in the cross bar. There are 3 holes in each side of the
splint to accommodate different cross bar widths. You
must use the same holes in each side so the cross bar
ends span an equal distance from the center of the splint.
(fig. 4-1)

Tools you will need: Phillips head screwdriver

Next insert one slide nut in the slide nut channel
on each side of the rail. Push them towards the
middle until they cover the joint where the 2 rail
halves meet. (Fig 1-3)

Fig 1-2

Last slide the rail coupler over the top of the rail and start each of the 4 - #10 machine screws
into the threaded holes in the slide nuts (Fig 1-4). Tighten them just until they are snug, then
stand the rail on its end and torque the screws tight while pushing down on the rail. (Fig 1-5)

Rail Hangers

STEP TWO: HANGING YOUR RAIL

3 - Rail Hanging Brackets

Tools you will need: Tape measure, chak line or string,
drill, phillips driver bit & 1/8'' drill bit.

6 - #10 x 1”
Wood Screws

10 - Slide Nuts

6 - #10 x 3/8
Machine Screws

Then, slide the rail into the rail hanging brackets and fasten them to the slide nuts closest to
the ends as well as the slide nuts that line up with the center rail hanging bracket using the
remaining #10 machine screws. When you're finished hanging the rail it must be mounted by
one bracket on each end and one bracket in the middle near the coupler. Additionally there
should be 1 unused slide nut on each side of the rail, either left or right of the coupler. These
can be used for adjustable switch stops if desired. (Fig.2-1 and 2-2)

STEP THREE: INSTALLING DRIVE MOTOR AND SWITCH STOPS

Warning: straight, level and secure rail mounting is essential for both safety
and operation. Mounting the rail should be done by a capable person. If you
do not think you're capable. Hire a carpenter or ask a friend who is one.
NOTE: if you are mounting to a finished ceiling you must locate the joist beneath the drywall and
mount to it. Never mount rail hanging brackets into drywall only. Also, we do not recommend
using drywall anchors for mounting into drywall material. In addition, if you are mounting to joist
under drywall you must use screws longer than the ones provided.
You will be using the 3 rail hanging brackets, 6 slide nuts and 6-#10 machine
screws to hang the rail. Refer to diagram
A for the rail hanging bracket locations.

Diagram A

It may be best to mount the assembled rail to a board and then mount that assembly above your
garden, a good wood for this method is 1"x 6"x 10 foot Pine or Cedar. Either can be found at
your local lumber store in ten foot lengths.
Note: Remember to install the adjustable switch
stop slide nut into rail channel prior to mounting as the slide nut can not pass the mounting
hardware on the end once installed.

fig 2-1

End Switch Stop Position

Fig 2-2

If you will be mounting the rail in line on a ceiling
joist, the rail will need to be hung after the board is
mounted to the joist. However it is easier to first
mount the rail hanging brackets to the board.
Before mounting the rail to the rail hanging brackets, slide the remaining 8 slide nuts into the slide nut
channel on the rail. 4 on each side, 2 from either
end as the slide nuts can not pass by the middle of
the rail because of the coupler.

1 - Drive Motor

2 - Switch Stop
Eye Screws

IMPORTANT: You must allow the
Drive motor to drive itself onto the
rail, as it is impossible to push the
drive motor onto the rail.

Start by plugging the Drive motor into its rated (check drive motor label) VAC power source.
Next pay close attention to the Drive Motors drive wheel assembly located in the center of
the Drive Motor (fig. 3-1) With the motor running and the switch actuator in the forward position, line the small white trolley wheels up with the Line Small White Trolley Wheels with center channel
corresponding square channel in the center of the
rail. Gently push the drive wheel assembly
towards the rail and it should drive itself onto the
rail (fig 3-1). If it won't drive itself onto the rail,
check that the switch actuator is in the forward
position, (pushed towards the rail)
Now that the drive motor has driven itself onto the
rail, unplug it and install the switch stop eye
screws. If you would like the drive motor to travel
fig. 3-1
the full length of the rail, install them in the remaining slide nut screw holes next to the rail hanging brackets at the ends of the rail. If you desire
a shorter travel distance you can use the remaining unused slide nuts installed before you hung
the rail (Fig 2-1 and 2-2) and slide them to any desired location. Make
Fig 3-2
sure you install the switch stop eye screws on the same side of the rail
as the switch actuator on the Drive Motor, and tighten them until the
eye of the screw is vertical so the switch actuator will make contact
(Fig 3-2).
