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.
