WAC Lighting SoloRail Monorail System
Rail
WAC Lighting LM-T Solorail Monorail Systems
WAC Solorail is a low voltage bendable single circuit track system. Straight rail is ordered as a four or eight foot sections to be bent in the field as needed or used as a straight section. The rail is field cuttable and bendable by hand or with a bending tool.
Solorail is composed of two 1.9mm thick copper bus wires with 1.5mm thick polycarbonate core. Each rail also includes two matching polycarbonate end caps.
- 1 circuit, 12 volt or 24 volt.
- 300W maximum capacity at 12V.
- 600W maximum capacity at 24V.
- Can use electronic surface mount, electronic remote, magnetic surface mount, or magnetic remote transformers (not included).
- Mounts to flat, suspended, or sloped ceilings. Use 2 supports per 4 foot section and at least 3 per 8 foot section. Total number of supports used in an application depends on the shape of the track layout. Systems with very unique shapes may require the use of additional supports.
- The LM-QADP is compatible with all QF and QP socket sets.
- Can be suspended from ceiling with cable or rigid standoffs. Suspension support information can be found on the Solorail Suspension spec sheet.
- An optional rail bending tool (LM-BM) is available for field bending when precise control and very smooth curves are desired.
- Abrasion resistant Bronze or Brushed Nickel finish.

Solorail Surface Mounted Transformers
Surface mount transformers mount to a junction box, due to their weight it is important that the box be adequately secured to the ceiling structure.
Because the monorail system works with 12 or 24 volts we offer transformers for either voltage. The maximum amperage of the rail is 25 amps. You may run 600 watts on a 24 volt system (25 amps) or 300 watts on a 12 volt system (also 25 amps). Our 600 watt transformers are offered in 12 or 24 volts, however the 12 volt version has two outputs with 300 watts available at each.
WAC Electronic Monorail Surface Mount Transformers for Solorail
Either electronic or magnetic transformers can power mono rail. Electronics are smaller than magnetic. Electronic transformers offer quieter operation than magnetics, making them a more practical choice for quiet settings. (see voltage drop guidelines).
An electronic transformer will work with most standard incandescent dimmers.
WAC Magnetic Monorail Surface Mount Transformers for Solorail
Larger magnetic transformers have greater wattage capacities. There is a lesser degree of voltage drop in a magnetic transformer, making them a more practical choice for longer runs (see voltage drop guidelines).
Magnetic transformers generally contain less components making them among the most reliable power sources.
A magnetic transformer generally requires a low voltage dimmer specifically made for magnetic loads. However some of our remote magnetic transformers have the ability to be dimmed with standard incandescent dimmers.
Debuzzing coil
Inherent with all magnetic transformers is an audible buzz, mostly when dimmed. To lessen the noise, our surface mount transformers are supplied with a factory installed debuzzing coil (or choke).
Installing a Surface Mounted Transformer:
- The junction box will support the entire weight of the transformer, which may weigh up to 30 lbs.; make sure it is adequately braced and supported. It is recommended that two people install the transformer.
- Extension wires are supplied to connect junction box wires to the transformer input wires. Connect white and grey neutral wire to white wire, and black and red hot wire to black wire with wire nuts. The ground wire may be green or bare copper, connect it to the green extension wire.
- Pass the open ends of the wires through the center hole of the cross bar/ threaded tube assembly, and mount to cross bar junction box as shown.
- Open the transformer case by removing the four screws on the perimeter. The cover halves will separate but not detach, allow the lower half to hang temporarily.
- Raise the transformer assembly on to the threaded tube and pass the ends of the wires through. Attach the heavy nut to the bottom of the tube and tighten so the transformer assembly is close to the ceilling.
- Insert pin through hole on bottom of treaded tube to secure heavy nut to tube.
- Connect the extension wires to the transformer input wires, with wire nuts. Follow the previous color code.
- Position the bottom cover so the power feed adapter is aligned to receive rail. Close the bottom cover and secure with the four secrews removed earlier.

Magnetic Monorail Remote Transformers
WAC Magnetic Monorail Remote Transformers for Solorail
The larger magnetic transformers have greater wattage capacities. There is a lesser degree of voltage drop in a magnetic transformer, making them a more practical choice for longer runs (see voltage drop guidelines).
A magnetic transformer generally requires a low voltage dimmer specifically made for magnetic loads. However some of our remote magnetic transformers have the ability to be dimmed with standard incandescent dimmers.
Most of our remote magnetic transformers have a boost tap option, which allows the transformer to be wired for a slightly higher (approximately 10%)voltage output to compensate for voltage drop. To use see instructions furnished with the transformer.
Debuzzing coil
Inherent with all magnetic transformers is an audible buzz, mostly when dimmed. A debuzzing coil is an option on remote magnetic transformers. Debuzzing coils are installed between the switch and transformer on the black (hot) primary wire.
Installing a Remote Transformer:
- Locate the transformer as close as possible to the power feed point to minimize voltage drop.
- Connect line voltage wires to their respective transformer input wires, (white to white & black to black).
- Make ground wire connection.
Note: Some remote transformers have integral enclosures with a green wire, if not, an enclosure is required. Establish a ground connection to the enclosure. - To wire secondary wires, first determine the appropriate THHN wire gauge size for the distance between the transformer and the junction box (see voltage drop guidelines). Run secondary wires from transformer to power in walls and ceilings should be enclosed type ie: BX, Romex, MC.
- Select a knock out hole in the power fe ed canopy back plate.
- Support the power feed canopy, and route wires from the canopy through the the knock out hole into the junction box.
- Attach canopy wires to the transformer wires with wire nuts (supplied). Tuck wires back into the junction box.
- Secure the base plate to the junction box, through the slotted holes.
- Loosen the three screws on the canopy. Raise the power feed canopy to the base plate and partially tighten screws so that they support the weight of the canopy.
- Rotate the canopy so the power feed adapter aligns with the rail, then fully tighten screws.
- For locations where no junction box is present secure the back plate to the surface, and make wire connections in the canopy.
- Note: Low voltage systems require firm connections at all points, to avoid abnormal heat conditions. A loose connection can lead to system damage and potential fire hazzard. Correct by tightening, but do not over tighten. Recheck the hot spot to make certain it's corrected.
