TO SUSPEND USING CONDUCTIVE FASTENERS
Ai Flex tapes require five connections to operate correctly, so while it is possible to suspend
the channel using conductive fasteners, it is not possible to send all the necessary power
lines through them.
To avoid a large group of cables running up one suspension wire, it is possible to split the
connections between the two ends, for example, +24V and two emitter groups at one end,
with the other two emitter groups at the other end. When doing this, take great care not to
cross connect any links between the two ends.
Secure the steel
wire/rod using a
3mm hex key
1 Fit the Ai Flex tape to the channel
(see page 11).
2 Fit suitable end caps at both ends (with or
without holes, depending on your cabling
arrangement).
3 Ensure the feed cable(s) are long enough to
reach up the suspension wire(s) to the control
connections. Feed the link cable(s) through
the end cap(s) and carefully solder to the
contact pads (see page 5).
4 At each end, fit a Conductive fastener .
5 Fit the required lens (see Page 9).
6 Secure the two steel wires/rods to their
ceiling mounts and thread each into the
holes within the conductive fasteners.
7 Establish the required height of the pendant
channel and use a 3mm hex key to tighten
the clamps so the channel is horizontal (using
a spirit level) and fully secure.
8 Neatly run the five supply cables up one
(or both, if connecting at both ends) of the
suspension wire(s) and connect with the
control/supply system.
