Before you start  

Before you start, take some time to get an overview of how 
the HLS system is installed. Your process should involve the 
following steps:

1.  Check the diameter and wall thickness of the rail or 

substrate to which the pucks will be installed.

2.  Check the puck type supplied, and con

fi

 rm that they 

are suitable for the job. Determine if you need to drill the 
counterbore (for heavy wall pucks) or not.

3.  Mark out the LED positions
4.  Practice: steps 5-13 (set depth, drill, tap) on a spare 

piece of rail (if available).

5.  Clamp drill jig to the rail and align to the 

fi

 rst mark

6.  Attach the drilling tool
7.  Drill the 15mm hole, reverse drill
8.  Adjust the depth setting nut
9.  Drill the counterbore if required. Back the drill out by 

engaging the reverse gear.

10. Remove drilling tool, clean out internal and external 

mating surfaces and insert tapping tool

11. Tap hole, then remove tool
12. Inspect, and deburr the hole
13. Test the thread and counterbore depth by screwing a 

puck into the new hole

14. Drill/tap/inspect/deburr/test all remaining holes

Tips  

1.  Keep it Clean: No component of the drill jig should be 

placed where there is a risk of contamination with foreign 
particles (eg: dirt, sand etc). Replace the components in 
the storage case supplied when not in use.

2.  Practice First: Drill a practice hole on a spare piece of 

pipe before beginning work on the job. This allows you to 
test your tools and process. Take this opportunity to set 
the depth without risking damage to the project.

Identify the puck type 

Determining the type of thread will dictate how you drill and 
tap the holes.

Take some time to check that the minipuck supplied is 
suitable for the job at hand:

1.  What diameter is the rail? Does the puck supplied 

fi

 t the 

curvature of this rail?

2.  What wall thickness is the rail, and is the puck suitable 

for this thickness? For wall thickness 1.5 - 2.5mm, you 
must use the thin wall puck. For wall thicknesses over 
2.5mm, you can use either thin wall or heavy wall pucks.

Now, identify the puck type based on the following:

HW - Heavy Wall (>2.5mm) 

!

 

Drill: with counterbore 

External thread is NOT cut all the way through to the front 
face of the puck. An uncut shoulder is visible adjacent to the 
front face of the puck.

TW - Thin Wall (>1.5mm)

!

 

Drill: NO counterbore

External thread is cut all the way through to the front face of 
the puck.
