Welcome to the Qub Magnetic Rail System! This innovative system provides a stylish and flexible way to integrate lighting into your interior. This manual will guide you step by step through the installation and use of the rail system.

Package Contents

  • Magnetic rail

  • Power supply unit (available in 100W, 200W, and 250W versions)

  • End caps

  • Sealing strip (optional, can be cut to size)

  • Magnetic lamps (optional, depending on your order)

Required Tools

  • Drill

  • Small metal drill bit

  • Spirit level

  • Screwdriver

  • Pencil

  • Measuring tape

  • Mounting brackets and screws (not included, available separately)

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Preparation

  1. Determine the desired location for the rail and measure its length.

  2. Ensure that the mounting surface is flat and sturdy.

  3. Turn off the power before starting.

2. Mounting the Rail

  • The rail has no pre-drilled holes. You can drill them yourself in the desired location using a small metal drill bit.

  • Mark the drill holes and drill plugs if necessary.

  • The rail can be mounted directly against the ceiling or wall. No mounting brackets are available unless you want to suspend the rail with pendants(available separately).

  • Click the included end caps into the rail for a sleek finish.

  • Optional: insert the sealing strip for a polished look.

3. Connecting to the Power Supply

  • Make a small hole in the rail to feed the power cable through.

  • Connect the power supply unit to the rail.

  • Ensure all electrical connections are correct.

  • Turn the power back on and test the rail.

4. Installing the Magnetic Lighting

  • Simply place the lamps on the rail.

  • Note: lamps cannot be mounted near a connector or the power supply.

  • Check that the lamps are securely attached and functioning properly.

Zigbee and Smart Control

The fixtures in the Magnetic Rail System operate with Zigbee. This is a wireless communication protocol often used in smart lighting.

What is Zigbee?

  • Reliable communication – commands are always confirmed.

  • Compatible with smart home systems – works with Philips Hue, Homey, and Google Home.

  • Energy efficient – consumes less power than WiFi.

  • Versatile – used for lighting, switches, and sensors.

Connecting to Zigbee

  1. Ensure you have a Zigbee Bridge, such as Philips Hue or Homey(not included).

  2. Put the lamps in pairing mode(they will blink) by turning the power on/off.

  3. Follow the Bridge instructions to pair the lamps.

  4. Control the lamps only via the appnot with a wall switch.

  5. Having trouble pairing? Reset the lamps by clicking them in and out of the rail 5 times while powered.

Touchlink Pairing

Zigbee dimmers can be paired without a controller/hub to Touchlink-compatible devices, such as remote controls or wireless switches.

Important Notes

  • Zigbee does not work directly with a smartphone; a Bridge is required.

  • Before purchasing additional Zigbee products, check whether they are compatible with your system.

Troubleshooting Installation Issues

  • Lamps not responding? Reset them by clicking them in and out of the rail 5 times or turning the switch on/off 5 times.

  • Lamps not blinking in pairing mode? Reset them using the same procedure.

Expansion Options

Yes, the system is modular, allowing you to add extra rails and lamps and easily connect them to your existing Zigbee network.

Usage and Maintenance

  • Lamps can be easily repositioned.

  • Clean the rail and lamps with a dry or slightly damp cloth.

  • Regularly check the mounting and connections.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I shorten the rail?
    Yes, using a metal saw – ensure the ends are neatly finished.

  • Are the lamps dimmable?
    Yes, as long as they are correctly connected to a Zigbee Bridge or compatible dimmer.

  • Can I connect multiple rails together?
    Yes, connectors are available for expansion.
