INSTALLATION
2.1
Initial Inspection
The Jands JLX-LITE-MkII Lighting bar should be inspected prior to installation. Any dents, cracks or
damage that appears to have been suffered in transit should be photographed and the freight company
notified before proceeding.
2.2
Planning - Mechanical
The Jands JLX-LITE-MkII should be installed by persons familiar with the installation of load bearing
structures.
WARNING
Failure to correctly install the JLX-LITE-MkII may
result in injury or death
The JLX-LITE-MkII has been designed to be mounted in various ways depending on the building struc-
ture it is being mounted to. Fixing methods include, but are not limited to:
Direct to a concrete slab using chemical or expanding anchors.
Direct into ceiling joists using timber screws, possibly through an intermediate layer of plaster-
board.
Suspended using droppers.
Into another supporting structure using nuts and bolts. Note mounting to suspended ceiling is
not recommended as these are generally not strong enough to support the required load. If the
JLX-LITE-MkII must be mounted against a suspended ceiling it should be mounted to the struc-
ture above the ceiling using droppers.
Fixed using standard strut or other additional dedicated structure mounted either along the bar
or preferably perpendicular to the bar. for example surface mounted standard strut.
Do not mount the JLX-LITE-MkII using plasterboard fasteners of any kind - the JLX-LITE-MkII must be
fixed to a solid structure.
When locating the fixings, plan the layout so that:
there is at least one substantial fixing for example masonry anchor, per bar support i.e. for a
2.4m JLX-LITE-MkII use at least 4 substantial fixings; for a 1.6 m JLX-LITE-MkII use at least 3
substantial fixings. When using less substantial fixings, for example wood screws, use at least
twice the number of fixings and distribute them as evenly across the base as possible.
the fixings are located as close as practical to the bar supports.
if mounting the JLX-LITE-MkII to strut, ensure that the strut is fixed to the structure on either
side of the JLX-LITE-MkII i.e. the strut is not cantilevered.
when installed the mounting face of the duct will be within about 6 degrees of horizontal in both
lengthwise and crosswise directions. If this cannot be achieved in the lengthwise direction, use
