Step 2: Cut top and bottom rails to length, allowing for rail mounts of
fit and size. Place rails face to face. Starting from the center of the
rails, mark 4 1/8" on center. Fig. 2
The T2 screw cover must be properly installed for the system to work.
Improper installation of the screw cover will prevent the pierce connectors
from making electrical contact with the wire. Elimination of this critical part
from the assembly could result in an electrical short should the pierce
connectors contact the metal head of the screw. The T2 screw cover is
intended to be installed with the hollow center facing the screw head (see
Ill. A). The opposite side of the cover forms the seat for the pierce
connectors to contact the wire (see Ill. B). The side that faces the baluster
has a raised center and raised outer edge, forming a channel between the
inside and outside edge. The T2 screw cover fits snugly when aligned and
pressed into place. Access to the mounting screw for replacement of
damaged rails or balusters will require the removal of the T2 screw cover.

Fig. 8.
Insert opposite end of baluster into slotted opening
of rail connector and slide connector. Slide
connector sleeve to cover rail connector. Note: The
connector sleeve has a thicker side that should mate
with the slotted opening of the rail connector. Turn
the sleeve until the thicker side of the sleeve aligns
with the opening of the rail connector. Push onto rail
connector and twist to lock. Fig. 9.
