IMPORTANT  Please read these instructions prior to installation. Refer to the Prima catalog for proper lamp type and maximum wattage for fixtures. 

Prima is not responsible for any fixture or system failure caused by unsupported lamps. Contact Prima customer service for the latest updates on 

which lamps we support and proper usage. Prima low voltage transformers must be used with all Prima Lighting product installations. All warranties 

are void if Prima transformers are not used. Prima’s catalogs provide general information and suggestions for proper dimmer usage. Please consult 

our customer service department with any questions regarding dimmer specifics. Prima is not responsible for any damage caused by improper 

dimmer specification and usage. Use only qualified electrician for installation. Adhere to all local and national electrical codes prior to installation.

It is strongly recommended that gloves are used when handling the FIT I track. Oils and dirt from fingers can sometimes permanently

mark the finish. Track should be cleaned with a damp cloth and thoroughly dried before fixture installation.

Be sure that the items indicated below are included in the package. Mount screw anchors in the mounting surface so that they align with 

the holes in the mounting disk. Secure the mounting disk to the mounting surface with the included screws. Adjust the cable length by 

loosening the set screw on the mounting disk, feed the cable through the top hole and tighten the set screw with the hex wrench. Further 

adjustment may be necessary at the end of the installation process. Repeat the steps above for post installation adjustment.

If an installation consists of only a single run of FIT I System track mounted in horizontal orientation with cable suspension, it is recommended that 

the same amount of track heads be placed in each of the track slots on both sides of the track. This is to balance the weight distribution between 

the two track slots. If there is more weight on one side the track than the other, the track may lean to one side and appear out of balance. This 

problem will not occur if the track is part of a multi-track length installation with 90º returns. 

Insert the track into the 

track bracket by resting 

the one slot on the grip 

teeth. Then twist the track 

into position as shown.

This example shows a balanced 

installation. The same amount of track 

heads are installaed on each side of the 

track. The track hangs in a level manner.

Balanced

Balanced

Unbalanced

Unbalanced

This example shows an unbalanced 

installation. There is one track installed in 

one of the track slots. As a result, the 

track installation tends to lean to one side.

Secure the track with the locking knob. Insert the knob into the large hole on the side 

of the track bracket. Rotate the track locking knob 90º clockwise to lock the track. 

Secure the locking knob by tightening the inner knob until there is no slack and the
