Installation guide

CIANA Elance′ 6 mm, installed.

The 26 × 6 mm magnetic track, from a bare ceiling to a lit luminaire, in four stages. Written for the electrician on site: print it and take it up the ladder.

See the range

Before you start

Eleven rules. Every one of them is a call-back avoided.

Install to local and national electrical regulations, and only by a licensed electrician who knows how the system goes together.
Switch off at the breaker before touching the track, the supply or a luminaire.
Never solder a connecting wire. Every connection goes through the wire box.
Fix the track to a non-conductive surface, in a dry interior room only.
Do not lay insulation over the track or over any luminaire.
Operate between −20 °C and +40 °C ambient.
Check the supply voltage against the label on the power supply before connecting it.
Fit nothing to a luminaire that did not come in its box.
Keep the conductors of this system clear of every other lighting system. They must never touch.
Guard against short circuit and overload: add up the luminaire wattages on the run and stay within the supply rating.
The LED light source is not user-replaceable. It is replaced by Enlighten Pro or an authorised agent.

The parts

Everything a run is built from, in the order it goes up. Codes are the price-list codes.

Part	Code	What it does
Track channel	EN-CETS · 1 m / 2 m / 3 m	26 × 6 mm section, black. Surface-mounted. Cut lengths are listed per metre; longer runs are joined.
Mounting kit	EN-CE-Mounting Kit	Nine sets of positioning plugs, screws and screw-hole covers. One kit per 3 m of track, mandatory.
Jointer module	EN-CE-Jointer Module	Joins two lengths in line and carries the current across the joint.
Curved corner	EN-CE-Curved Corner	Turns the run through 90° in the plane of the ceiling, powered through.
Input module	EN-CE-Input Module	Brings 48 V into the track from a supply above the ceiling.
Wire box	EN-CE-Wire Box	Encloses the feed connection. No joint is made outside it.
Power supply	EN-CE48VPS · 100 W / 200 W	48 V output, sized to the run. See stage 3 for where it goes.

Cross-section of the 26 mm wide, 6 mm deep track channel fixed to a ceiling, showing the positioning plug and screw in the centre and the two copper strips along the inner edges — **The section.** 26 mm wide, 6 mm deep. The positioning plug and screw sit in the centre channel; the two copper strips run along the inner edges and are what a luminaire's contacts meet.

Stage 1 of 4

Fix the track

The track is screwed to the ceiling through its own centre channel, three fixings to the metre, and every screw head disappears under a cover.

Isometric drawing of a length of track being fixed to a ceiling: positioning plugs and screws rise into each fixing hole, covers go over the screw heads, and an end plug closes the open end — **One length, fixed.** Plug, screw and cover at every hole along the run; end plug, screw and cover at the open end.

Check the fittings

For each length: the track itself, plus positioning plugs, screws and screw-hole covers from the mounting kit. Three of each per metre.

Set out the run

Mark the ceiling from the lighting layout. Offer the track up on the line, push a positioning plug into the first fixing hole, drive the screw, then press the cover over the screw head.

Screw every hole

The channel has three fixing holes in every metre. Fix all of them: the track is only secure once the whole length is drawn tight to the ceiling.

Close the end

At the open end of the run, fit the end plug, screw it and cover the screw. The track is ready for its joints and its power.

Stage 2 of 4

Join the lengths

Every joint is mechanical and electrical at once: the connector pushes into both lengths and carries the 48 V across. Five joints cover any layout.

Two lengths of track joined in a straight line with a jointer module, and the jointer module on its own

Straight joint

Two lengths in line. The jointer pushes into the end of each length and the run continues as one.

EN-CE-Jointer Module

Two lengths of track meeting at a right angle on the ceiling with a corner connector, and the connector on its own

Corner joint

A 90° turn in the plane of the ceiling, powered through the corner. The listed part is the curved version; the square corner drawn here is available on the enquiry.

EN-CE-Curved Corner

Three lengths of track meeting in a T with a tee connector, and the connector on its own

Tee joint

A branch off a straight run. The tee carries power into all three legs.

Specify on the enquiry

Four lengths of track meeting in a cross with a cross connector, and the connector on its own

Cross joint

Four legs from one point, for a grid across a ceiling.

Specify on the enquiry

Vertical corner

A ceiling run turning down onto a wall run, powered through the corner.

Specify on the enquiry

Line drawing of a room corner showing track running along the ceiling and continuing down the wall

Ceiling to wall

Where the vertical corner goes: the run leaves the ceiling line and continues down the wall as the same circuit.

Layout

Tee, cross and vertical corners are joined the same way with their matching connector. Send us the layout and we will list the connectors the run needs.

Stage 3 of 4

Bring in power

Mains at 85–220 V never reaches the track. It is converted to 48 V first, either by a supply that sits in the track or by one above the ceiling feeding an input module.

Option A

Supply in the track

The EN-CE48VPS supply is built to sit in the channel. Bring the mains lead through the ceiling into the wire box, connect, then push the supply up into the track exactly as you would a luminaire. It puts 48 V onto the copper strips from where it sits.

Listed at 100 W and 200 W. Add up every luminaire on the run and choose the rating above that figure.

Option B

Supply above the ceiling

Mount a 48 V supply in the ceiling void and bring its output down to the EN-CE-Input Module. The module clips into the end of the run, its lead rising through the ceiling; the copper strips carry 48 V to every luminaire from there.

The listed match is the EN-SMPS04 48 V driver. Size it the same way: total luminaire wattage, then the rating above it.

One supply feeds one run. A run that is joined through corners and jointers is still one run; a second, separate track is a second supply.

Stage 4 of 4

Mount the luminaires

No tools. Push, press, done. The luminaire lights the moment its contacts meet the copper strips, so you know it is seated before you lock it.

Push

Offer the luminaire up to the track and push it home so the copper contacts on its back meet the copper strips in the channel. It lights as soon as they touch.

Press

With the luminaire lit, press the catch at each end inwards. They lock the body to the track so it cannot be knocked out or slide.

Seated

Flush in the channel, locked and lit. To reposition it, release both catches, slide, and lock again.

Every luminaire in the Elance′ range mounts the same way.

If something is dark

Three checks, in the order they usually turn out to be the answer.

One luminaire does not light

It is not pushed fully home. Release the catches, take it off, and push it up again until it lights; only then press the catches in.

Everything after a joint is dark

The jointer or corner is not seated in both lengths. Check that the connector has pushed fully into each track end; the joint is what carries the 48 V across.

The whole run is dark

Start at the supply. Check the mains side in the wire box, that the supply or input module is seated in the track, and that the total luminaire wattage on the run is within the supply's rating.

Still dark? Send us a photo of the run and the supply and we will work it through with you on WhatsApp.
