How can I prevent damage to the Trace TW Horizontal lighting system during installation?

[McLillian]

To ensure a successful and damage-free installation of your Trace TW Horizontal lighting system, careful handling is essential. Here's how to protect your system during setup:

• Avoid Bending or Hanging: Prevent the Trace luminaire from bending or hanging down. Exceeding its bending limit can cause damage.
• Team Up for Longer Runs: For longer installations of the Trace lighting strands, use two people to handle the product.
• Insert Evenly and Gradually: When inserting the Trace into the mounting channel, do so evenly and gradually to avoid twisting or bending.
• Mind the Twist: Be careful not to twist or bend the Trace in the wrong direction, as this can damage the product.
• Consider Lubrication: A dry spray lubricant, like 3M Spray Lubricant or WD-40 Specialist, can help the luminaire slide into the channel smoothly, preventing damage.
• Handle with Care: Avoid stretching, pulling, or yanking the Trace during installation, as this can harm internal connections and void the warranty.
• Secure Power Connections: Properly connect the power supply. Secure the power connection to the building using a C-clamp or mount it inside a J-Box, following the wiring diagrams for proper connection to a 24V DC power supply. Following these guidelines and the provided installation guide will help you install your Trace TW Horizontal lighting system without issue.
