TEC-LED Illuminated Round Timber Handrails Instruction Manual TEC-LED Illuminated Round Timber Handrails

Thank you for your interest in our custom manufactured Illuminated Handrail system. STEP ONE

Survey and measure

Before we can provide an accurate quotation, we need to know exactly the nature and extent of componentry required for your handrail project. This requires a detailed and accurate measurement and assessment of the installation site by the client or their duly authorised representative and will form the basis of all procedures going forward. While it is a simple process, it needs to be accurate and thorough.

Tools Required

  1. Using a chalk line (or other marking tool), draw a line from the first riser to the last riser, ensuring the line is equidistant from the riser nosings. Height above nosings is irrelevant, as long as it is equal. Measure and record this line in millimeters.
    Survey Measure
  2. Draw a second line at the landing, again ensuring it is equidistant above the landing. Measure and record this line in millimeters.
    Survey Measure
  3. Using a protractor, carefully measure the angle where the chalk lines meet. Record this angle.
    Survey Measure
  4. Continue this process along the entire extent of the staircase where a handrail is required. Use the following page as an example of how to record or draw the data, and complete the form on the final page as necessary. Make a note where wall studs are located (if applicable) as these will be used to fix the brackets to.

STEP TWO

Quotation

Upon receipt of your SURVEY and MEASURE information, our team will prepare an accurate quotation for your consideration. Note, unless otherwise agreed, the quotation does NOT include installation. STEP THREE

Production sheet/s

Upon acceptance of our quotation and other formalities, our technical team will issue PRODUCTION SHEET/S detailing exactly how the handrail components will be fabricated These sheets will detail:

  1. Length of each handrail
  2. Position of mounting brackets with dimensions between each bracket
  3. Nature and extent of joiner pieces
  4. Position of live wire/s
  5. Number of transformers and the LED run each transformer can service

The PRODUCTION SHEET/S will give you an opportunity to check the proposed componentry against site conditions, having regard to dimensions, joiner piece angles, 240V feed and any other site conditions that may affect the handrail. Manufacture will only begin once final PRODUCTION SHEET/S have been approved and signed of by the client. Once approved and manufactured, no dimension or bracket position can be changed.

STEP FOUR

Installation

Prior to installation, check that the components received are correct when compared to the approved PRODUCTION SHEET/S. Notify TecLED immediately if anything is missing or incorrect.

Tools Required
Blue painters tape

LOCATE STUDS (if applicable)

Generally, studs are 450mm apart. Ideally, you would have located these studs in your SURVEY and indicated their position when approving the PRODUCTION SHEET/S.

ATTACHING HANDRAIL TO THE WALL

Check your local building codes to determine the desired height of the rail above the stairs. Once this height is ascertained, draw a line (or chalk line) at this height from the bottom of the stairs all the way to the top of the staircase (including landings). This will determine the position of the fixing brackets.

CONNECTING THE ELECTRIC WIRING

Your handrail is supplied with low voltage wire/s to connect to the transformer/s. Connection to the transformers should be undertaken by a competent person. All connections must be insulated and secure. If motion activated sensors are included, these should be connected to the transformer/s as well as the fixing brackets.

NOTE
Connection of the transformers to the 240V power supply can only be done by a duly licensed electrician
