2.
At this point further ALIS Tubes may be mounted and connected together, either directly joined or via the
0.3m or 0.5m connection cables as the design dictates, by mating the two connector halves and twisting
the outer nut.
Note
a maximum of 3.6m of ALIS Tube length of various size combinations may be
connected together to an ALIS Tube Coupler.
3.
After deciding which free end of the ALIS Tube is best suited, connect the ALIS Tube coupler cable to that
end and an ALIS End Connector to the other as described in 2 above.

2.1 ALIS Tube Lamp coupler connection.
At the desired ALIS Tube Coupler position un-twist, the ALIS-Bus by approximately 20cm by inserting your thumbs
in the twist and sliding left and right equally. Fully open the ALIS Tube Coupler and place the ALIS-Bus into the
ALIS Tube Coupler housing as shown below, ensuring the ALIS-Bus is clean and free from grit. Press the ALIS-
Bus firmly within the guide clip channels.
Note
If this information places the ALIS Tube Coupler near an
obstruction such as a system partition, ensure the ALIS Tube Coupler is moved to at least 15cm from this point to
allow movement during washout.
Once positioned within the Coupler Housing, bring the two lid sections together and close.
Caution
Ensure that
the ALIS Bus is not trapped when closing the Coupler and the ALIS-Tube Coupler ferrite surfaces are clean and
free from grit.
Note
Ensure a minimum 3cm of ALIS-Bus remains untwisted at the Coupler entry holes. Too tight
a twist at this point can cause a lift in the Coupler lid resulting in a broken seal.
Attach all the remaining ALIS Tube Lamps to the desired position along the ALIS-Bus. Once completed cable tie
the ALIS-Bus to the catenary wire.
Note
Place the first two cable ties a minimum of 20 cm each side of the ALIS
Coupler ensuring the catenary wire supports the ALIS-Tube Coupler on its clip. Add the remainder of the cable ties
between 30cm to 40cm apart to ensure the ALIS-Bus does not droop at any point.
