RAILING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
WAGNER ARCHITECTURAL SYSTEMS ARE ENGINEERED TO MEET IBC, ADA AND NFPA WHEN PROPERLY INSTALLED.
• Check and confirm all local railing code requirements
• A structural analysis may be required per local codes and is the responsibility of the customer
• Verify with the railing manufacturer that intended retrofit installations will not degrade the integrity of their railing
• CAUTION: It is highly recommended that a professional railing installer be used for ANY rail system, illuminated or not
• Please contact the factory for field installations: 888-243-6914 or email us: [e-mail]
LIGHTING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
READ THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IN THEIR
ENTIRETY BEFORE INSTALLING. IT IS IMPORTANT
TO LEAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE OWNER
OR FACILITY MANAGER OF THE BUILDING FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.
• CAUTION: Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician and all wiring must conform to
local, state and national electrical codes
• LED driver: 24VDC, Class 2, configured in a listed system of components
• Mount remote driver(s) in a NEMA rated enclosure
• Systems may be used in a wet location with a suitably rated enclosure and connections
• All electrical components must be grounded and connected to GFCI per local codes and/or the NEC
• This product must be installed in a manner consistent with its intended use
• For trouble-shooting, installation questions and replacement component orders, contact Wagner
at 888-243-6914
WARNING: TO REDUCE
RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, TURN OFF THE

1. Ensure all Bantam mounting holes (0.625”) are de-burred inside
and out. Removal of all sharp edges is necessary to protect
conductors that pass through the openings.
2. Install 24VDC positive (+) and negative (-) wires (by others) down the
length of the hand rail. Refer to the remote distance chart for wire
gauge/distance recommendations.
3. Carefully pull a loop of the 24VDC main wires out of each Bantam
mounting hole. Cut the wires at the center of each loop and strip
insulation ends back 1⁄8”.
4. Install the Poke-Home Junction Box connectors (Red) to both ends
of the 24VDC main wires and the DC converter input. Ensure that the
polarity of conductors from the converter (+ = red, - = black) connect
to the correct polarity of the main 24VDC wires.
5. Dimming: the DC converter has a 3rd input to be used for a dedicated
0-10V control. Attach the 3rd Poke-Home Junction Box connector
(Red) to the labeled (DIM) lead. Also attach the input control and
branch conductors (for additional fixtures, if applicable) into the
connector.
No Dimming: simply leave the Junction Box connector on the (DIM)
lead as a termination.
6. Install a Poke-Home Thru-Wire connector (White) to both output
wires, positive (+) and negative (-) on the DC/DC converter. Connect
the corresponding polarity leads from the Bantam on the other end.
7. Carefully feed wires, Poke-Home connectors, and DC converter
through the mounting hole, into the railing. Push components into rail
to clear mounting hole.
8. Carefully feed the remaining wire into the rail and align the Bantam
with the screw hole and tighten the security screw ½ way. Repeat
process for additional fixtures.
9. After the system is tested, loosen fixtures and place a 1⁄8” x 1⁄2” bead
of silicon caulk between the mounting and wiring holes on the back of
the housing.
10. Apply Loctite®Threadlocker Blue 242®(or equal) to the exposed
screw threads to prevent loosening and then finish seating the
Bantam fixtures. Repeat process for additional fixtures.
INSTALLATION
TO REDUCE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR SERVICING
THE LIGHT FIXTURES: For retrofit applications and field drilling for Bantam installations, resealing the protective
coating on railings that are not inherently corrosion resistant is required. Paint, cold galvanizing, or an equivalent
material must be used to seal the bare metal surfaces prior to fixture installation.
