- Page 7 SLIDE ON PARTS Most MetroLED systems are shipped either fully or partly assembled. All LEDs should be already fitted to the 3 track extrusion. Assembly therefore will generally involve fitting together extrusions. Gantry Legs will be marked “Left” and “Right” to avoid confusion. CAUTION –...

Care must be taken to push the fitting firmly down so that it is fully sitting in the track extrusion. If not fully inserted when twisting to lock, the plastic housing may become damaged which will result in the fitting not being locked in. UFO LIGHTING... -
Page 10: Operation
There are 3 electrical connections required before connecting the system to the mains – see drawing below: 1. Connect the extrusion power In connector track power cable to the MetroLED dimmer ensuring correct wire colour codes 2. Connect the dimmer box and cable to MetroLED dimmer ensuring correct wire colour codes 3. -

Page 14: Cutting Tools
The powered chop saw used by UFO is a Proxxon KGS 80 with a carbide tipped, blade having 36 teeth. The saw and blades are widely available in a 110V version in the USA or 240V versions in Europe. - Page 15 Insert the UFO extrusion tool into the extrusion through 90�� as shown in sketch overleaf. Clamp the extrusion and the UFO Extrusion Tool in the chop saw vice (use protective pads on the vice jaws to avoid scratching the paintwork) as shown below.
- Page 16 CONSTRUCTION Once cut, the copper track ends must be prepared to accept the MetroLED fittings. Clamp the cut extrusion using the UFO extrusion tool as shown below (use protective material underneath the extrusion to avoid scratching the paintwork) Once clamped, carefully file the ends of the copper track to an approximate 30°angle. This angle allows the MetroLED push fit devices, electrical spring contacts to be pushed onto the track without damage, see images below.
- Page 17 In the event of the copper track coming out of its holder (see below) the following reparative action can be taken. Insert the UFO Extrusion Tool into the extrusion prior to the raised copper track and pressing down firmly slide the tool along and over the raised track pushing it back down into its holder.
