4 INSTALLATION
DANGER Always switch off power before the start of installation.
The instructions in this section are written in the correct installation sequence. We recommend that you follow this
sequence.
4.1 PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
1Check that there are enough power points and they
are located in the right places.
Deco: a power point every 20 meters
Power: a power point every 10 meters
Power Short Pitch (PSP): a power point every
10 meters
NOTE
All power points must
provide 24V DC.
24V DC
24V DC
24V DC
2
NOTE
When fitting long sections, take
into account any expansion joints in the structure,
building or surface to which the handrail or banister is
fastened.
Determine whether any expansion joints are present
in the wall or the underlying surface.
To avoid stress on the liniLED® LED strip and
possible damage, the handrail must end
where an expansion joint is present.
10 INSTALLATION GUIDE WWW.SB-RAILING.COM
3Cut the stainless steel handrail to the right length.
If you are joining three or more handrail sections,
you have intermediate handrail sections.
Go to step4.
If you do not have any intermediate handrail sections,
skip step4 and go to section4.2.
Intermediate handrail section
4To allow handrail brackets to be fitted in the profile
later on, you have to make room for them in the
intermediate handrail section.
NOTE
It is not possible to clip a handrail
bracket here later on, since the aluminum profile is
missing at this point.
Carry out the following procedure for EVERY
intermediate handrail section.
A. Dismount one of the screwed-on aluminium
mounting profiles. To do this, turn the screws of
one aluminum mounting profile counterclockwise
and then remove the mounting profile.
11SB-LED | Indoor WWW.SB-RAILING.COM
B. Cut off a length of 40mm (±1mm) from the
removed aluminum profile.
40 mm
NOTE
It is not possible to clip a handrail bracket here later on, since the aluminum profile
is missing at this point.
C. Put the aluminum mounting profile back in place
and screw it tight.

4.2 JOINING HANDRAIL SECTIONS
There are two ways to join handrail sections:
with glue or by brazing them together.
4.2.1 Gluing
1Apply the glue to the contact surfaces of
the coupling.
2Insert the handrail coupling into the handrail
you want to extend.
3Then slide the other handrail section over
the coupling.
If expansion joints are present,
go to section 4.2.3.
If no expansion joints are present,
go to section 4.3.1.
13SB-LED | Indoor WWW.SB-RAILING.COM
4.2.2 Brazing
1Insert the handrail coupling into the handrail
you want to extend.
2Then slide the other handrail section over
the coupling.
3Braze the parts together.
If expansion joints are present,
go to section 4.2.3.
If no expansion joints are present,
go to section 4.3.1.
14 INSTALLATION GUIDE WWW.SB-RAILING.COM
4.2.3 Expansion joint
Always take the following precaution with an expansion joint to avoid damage to the liniLED® LED strip. This applies to
both glued and brazed handrails.
The handrail can be joined using a coupling with one loose joint (steps1 and2), or it can be terminated with an end
cap (step3). Regardless of whether the handrail is continuous or is terminated by an end cap, the LED strip must be
interrupted at an expansion joint.
For information about fitting and cutting the LED strip, see section4.3.
Terminating the handrail with a coupling
1Apply glue to one end of the coupling.
Fit the coupling for the stainless steel handrail
between two handrail sections.
2Ensure that there is enough free play between
the handrail and the coupling to allow for expansion
and contraction due to temperature changes in the
building structure.
Finishing the handrail with end caps
3Insert the end caps in the ends of
the handrail sections.
15SB-LED | Indoor WWW.SB-RAILING.COM
4.3 INSTALLING THE liniLED®LED STRIP
1Carefully push the connector into the cavity of the
liniLED® LED strip.
NOTE
The arrow on the connector must point
in the same direction as the arrow on the liniLED® LED strip.
2Carefully press the liniLED® LED strip into the
aluminum profile.
Start at the point where you placed the connector.
Tip: Use the SB-LED LED roller.
NOTE
There is a limit to the length of
the liniLED® LED strip that can fitted in one piece.
Deco: 20 meters
Power: 10 meters
Power Short Pitch (PSP): 10 meters
For any of the following situations.
You arrive at a corner
You arrive at a coupling
You arrive at an expansion joint
You reach the end of the handrail
Proceed as follows.
3Determine where you will cut the liniLED® LED strip.
This should be done as close as possible to the
end of the coupling or the end of the handrail.
Note that the liniLED can only be cut at specific designated
places.

5Insert an end plug in the cavity of the liniLED® LED
strip and press the end of the LED strip
into the aluminum mounting profile.
Do you have other handrails where you want to install liniLED® LED strip?
6Repeat steps 1 to 5.

4.4 FITTING HANDRAIL BRACKETS OR
BANISTER ADAPTERS
4.4.1 Fitting handrail brackets
1Dismantle the handrail bracket.
To do this, use a 5mm allen wrench to loosen
the socket-head screw of the handrail bracket.
2Remove the clip from the handrail bracket.
3Slide the clip of the handrail bracket over the
aluminum profile. You can do this at the end
of the handrail or at the previously made cutout. Slide
the clip to the desired position.
18 INSTALLATION GUIDE WWW.SB-RAILING.COM
Are you fitting a handrail bracket for wire feedthrough?
If yes, go to step4. If no, skip step4.
4First pull the wires through the clip, and then pull
them through the hollow sections of the handrail
bracket.
5Using a 5mm allen wrench, turn the socket-head
screw of the handrail bracket clockwise to secure the
bracket on the aluminum profile.

the handrail or at the previously made cutout. Slide
the clip to the desired position.
Is the banister adapter for feedthrough to your power point?
If yes, go to step3. If no, go to step4.

3In this case, first pull the wires through the clip and
then through the banister adapter.
4Firmly screw the banister adapter to the clip.
Using a 4mm allen wrench, turn the socket-head
screws in the banister adapter clockwise to secure
the clip.
NOTE
The clip can pivot up to 55° in either
direction. Before tightening the banister adapter, make
sure that it can be positioned
at the correct angle.
5If the SB-LED handrail is mounted at
a angle, rotate the handrail bracket.
To do this, loosen the socket-head screw (1) by
turning it counterclockwise. Rotate the clip (2) and
then retighten the socket-head screw (clockwise).
