Troubleshooting Guide: 12 Volt Pendant Lighting
Part 1. For Hubbardton Forge Track Lighting products that use the “Fast Jack Male Coaxial Fixture Connector” from
Edge Lighting, an Edge Lighting Installation Instruction “FJ-MC-_” is provided to the customer. This Instruction shows
one method for installing coaxial cable into the coaxial fixture connector. The method shown omits a trimming step to
the Braided Outer Shield, to simplify the installation.
Components:
A Coaxial Cable
B Coaxial Fixture Connector
C Conical Nipple
D Strain Relief Tube
E M4 Set Screw
F M3 Set Screw
G Inner Conductor
H Wire Insulation
I Braided Outer Shield
It has been determined that more consistent results can be obtained if:
1. The outer braided shield (I) of the coaxial cable (A) is stripped back 3/4" as shown in Figure 1.
2. The M3 Set Screw (F) is tightened until “Tight”, when the 1.5MM Allen Wrench starts to flex.
3. The M4 Set Screw (E) is tightened inward until it no longer causes an interference with the Conical Nipple (C). It will
begin to crush the Strain Relief Tube (D).
4. 3 Electrical Continuity tests are performed after assembly with a Digital Multi-Meter or Continuity Tester.
– Continuity Test #1 – Short Circuit test, tester should not light.
– Continuity Test #2 – Open Circuit test, tester should light.
– Continuity Test #3 – Functional Check. Same probe positions as Continuity Test #1, performed with Fixture
wired and a working bulb in the socket, tester should light.
Note: The M3 Set Screw (F) must make electrical contact with the Coaxial Cable Inner Conductor (G), yet the instructions do not call
for the inner conductor to be stripped back to expose the wire beneath. This is because the metal set screw pierces through the plas-
tic insulation as the set screw is tightened to full torque. However, if the tester will not light during test #3 it is recommended to strip
off 1/8” of insulation from the Coaxial Cable Inner Conductor (G). This will ensure that electrical connection is made.
