7Installation setup
7.1 Specification
The StarGuide Maxi led-unit is a small and efficient solution which can be
easily integrated in a circular railing tube. Each order can be tailor made to
the dimensions of the tube.
It uses a current controlled power supply and all units are connected in
series. Up to 100 units can be connected, depending on the power supply
used.
Please note that dangerous voltages are used. Always disconnect the main
power of the complete installation, before executing any works on the
installation.
•Power consumption each StarGuide Maxi led-unit: 1,2 W
•Rated current input: 350 mA
•Forward voltage over the led: ±2.8 to 3.2 volt (depending on binning
and color)
•Body material is 15 µM anodized aluminum.
•Resin is epoxy based and heat conductive.
•Ingress protection: IP 67
•Impact protection: IK2 / 10
•Weight: 32 gr
•Different lenses are possible:
oReal spot: 11°
oSpot: 15°
oMedium: 30°
oWide: 50°
oAsymmetrical: 34° x 18°
•Transparent cover material is glass or polycarbonate.
The unit is equipped with a ‘anti-fuse’, so in case of failure of one unit in a
series string, all other units remain fully functional.
Standard cable length is 1200 mm for positive polarity, and 200 mm for
negative polarity, so maximum pitch is approximately 1000 mm between
the units.
Connections are done by using Scotchlok™ connectors, supplied together
with the StarGuide MAXI led-unit.

7.2 Installation
Tools
The installation of the StarGuide Maxi led-unit is straightforward, and mainly
needs two tools:
•Allen key N° 2:
•Universal pliers:
Or another specific tool:
A dedicated crimping tool is handy to squeeze the Scotchlok™
connectors. In case of a bigger installation, it might be useful to have
this in your tool set. This tool is available at your point of sale.

StarGuide Maxi LUX LUMEN - Kernenergiestraat 53A - 2610 WILRIJK - BELGIUM p.15/24
350 mA T: [phone] –www.lux-lumen.com
Wiring scheme
The units are connected in series as one string of elements. A ‘retour line’
closes the loop with the power supply.
Each red wire is connected with the black wire*, coming from its neighbor.
The electrical connection is made with the supplied Scotchlok™ connectors.
*the outmost unit in the string excepted –see step 2
STEP 1:
Insert a black cable at the outmost cut-out, direction towards the led-driver
side. So the cable is from end to begin of the railing, and has enough cable
length to be connected to the led-driver.
The result will be like this:
At the side of the outmost unit, leave approximately 20 cm cable out of the
tube cut-out, and secure it to the tube outside to prevent it getting lost in the
tube.

StarGuide Maxi LUX LUMEN - Kernenergiestraat 53A - 2610 WILRIJK - BELGIUM p.16/24
350 mA T: [phone] –www.lux-lumen.com
STEP 2:
Start the installation at the last unit in the series, by connecting the black
cable on the unit, with the black ‘loop-back cable’ by using a Scotchlok™
connector.
Please note: This is the only place, where a black cable is connected with
another black cable.
Insert the trimmed wire ends into the Scotchlok™connector. Do not strip
the wires. Make sure all wires are inserted fully to the end of the tunnels,
past the metal connector element.
Take a pliers, and put the Scotchlok™connector between the jaws.
Make sure the two wires remain fully inserted in the connector.
Squeeze the handles of the pliers as far as the red cap getting flush with the
rim of the connector body.
You will notice the gel, which is located
in the red cap, being injected in the
cable insertions.
After verifying that the cable is still in
good position, you can put the
Scotchlok™ connector in the tube.

350 mA T: [phone] –www.lux-lumen.com
STEP 3:
Insert the red cable of the unit in the tube cut-out, and forward it to the next
one.
STEP 4:
Make sure both screws are as shown on following picture
and apply some thread locking glue to both screws.
After applying glue, turn the screws back to approximately this situation:

StarGuide Maxi LUX LUMEN - Kernenergiestraat 53A - 2610 WILRIJK - BELGIUM p.18/24
350 mA T: [phone] –www.lux-lumen.com
STEP 5:
Insert the unit into the tube cut-out.
The screw has to be approximately 10 mm visible from the front.
STEP 6:
Drive both screws in to the end.
Note: The installer has to be sure that the screws don’t perforate any of the
cabling located in the railing tube! Therefor use manual tools and never use
an electrical fastener to drive the screws of the led-unit.
The result should be good looking like this:
STEP 7:
Proceed with next unit in a similar way starting from step 2.
STEP 8:
Finally in the setup, you will have the black loop-back cable, and the red
cable, coming from the closest unit. Both cables need to be connected, as
shown in the wiring scheme, to the power supply delivered together with
your setup package.

7.3 Choice of power supply
Since this led-unit is current driven, the voltage that the power supply has to
deliver, is depending on the number of units that are connected in series.
The voltage drop per led-unit is approximately 3 volt. So in case of 12 units,
the current in the circuit will be 350 mA, and the voltage drop over the
complete circuit will be:
12 led-units x 3 volt per unit = 36 volt.
It is important to understand that not all current sources are capable of
producing a current of 350 mA at 36 volt.
In this example, the power generated by the power supply is:
0,350 (A) x 36 (volt) = 12,6 watt.
We specify these power supplies, depending on the number of units
connected in series.
