Power Extention Connector for use with ProSpec
™
Track System Only.
The Power Extension Connector allows power to be jumped from one
track, around or through structural obstacles, to another track unit. It
replaces the Dead End Cover at the end of a Feed Track unit or a run
of track units. Power can be fed into or removed from the Power
Extension Connector by using any of the power feed-in kits available
for ProSpec Track. A few examples are shown on the reverse side.
Caution:
•
Turn off power at fuse box before installing the Power
Extension Connector and track.
•
Instructions for grounding must be followed. Failure to do
so may result in a hazardous condition.
•
Use only #12 ga. solid copper wire in connectors to
maintain proper track rating.
•
Observe polarity, white (neutral) wire must be connected
to terminal marked "NEUT". Failure to observe Polarity may
result in an electrical hazard.
•
Do not use Track as a conduit support. Independent conduit
supports (such as suitable conduit straps) must be used to
attach the conduit installation to the building structure.
