5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to correctly install the Paulmann 95136 URail Rail System Connector:
- Preparation: Before beginning installation, ensure the power supply to the URail system is switched off at the main circuit breaker. Confirm there is no electrical current flowing to the rail sections.
- Aligning Rails: Position the two URail sections you intend to connect. Ensure they are clean and free of debris at the connection points.
- Inserting the Connector: Carefully slide one end of the Paulmann 95136 connector into the channel of the first URail section. Ensure the electrical contacts on the connector align correctly with the internal conductors of the rail.

- Securing the First Rail: Gently push the connector fully into the first rail section until it is securely seated. You may feel a slight click as it locks into place.
- Connecting the Second Rail: Align the second URail section with the exposed end of the connector. Carefully slide the second rail onto the connector, ensuring a firm and flush connection between the two rail sections and the connector.

- Power Restoration: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power to the URail system at the main circuit breaker. Test the lighting system to ensure proper functionality.
6. Operation
The Paulmann 95136 URail Rail System Connector functions passively to provide continuous electrical conductivity and mechanical stability between URail track sections. Once correctly installed according to the instructions in Section 5, it requires no further user interaction for its operation. The connected rail system will operate as a single, integrated unit, allowing power to flow to all connected lighting fixtures.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the connector, ensure the power is off at the main circuit breaker. Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or material.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the connector and all rail connections for any signs of damage, such as cracks, discoloration, or loose connections. Ensure the connector remains firmly seated within the rail sections. If any issues are found, disconnect power immediately and address the problem or contact a qualified professional.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your URail system after installing the connector, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- No Power to Rail Section:
- Check Power Supply: Ensure the main circuit breaker for the lighting system is in the 'ON' position.
- Inspect Connections: Disconnect power and verify that the connector is fully and securely inserted into both URail sections. Loose or incomplete connections can interrupt power flow.
- Examine for Damage: With power off, carefully check the connector and rail sections for any visible damage, bent electrical contacts, or foreign objects that might obstruct the connection.
- Loose Rail Connection:
- Re-seat Connector: Disconnect power and carefully re-seat the connector, ensuring it clicks firmly into place within both rail sections. Apply gentle, even pressure.
- Check Rail Ends: Ensure the ends of the URail sections are not damaged, deformed, or worn, which could prevent a secure and stable fit with the connector.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to consult a qualified electrician or contact Paulmann customer support.
