mounting holes, set the position of the mounting

plate. Screw tabs facing downward.

5. Mount track to ceiling following track mounting

instructions (see track mounting section).

6. Secure track to the mounting plate. Tighten the

screws on both sides.

Live End Electrical Feed Over a Junction Box 1. Make sure power is off. 2. Note the polarity indicator of the track. The live end can only be installed on one end. Brace the track end cap (opposite the live end) against a solid surface, and insert live end. This is important to achieve good electrical contact. 3. Position live end over center of junction box. Mark track-mounting holes. 4. Remove live end cover and pry out the knock out hole. 5. Use a canopy plate “CP”. Attach mounting plate to junction box.

Fixture Installation 1. Note the track head contacts, and the polarity groove running the length of the track. 2. The two contacts should be positioned so that when rotated, they will face the grooved side of the track (this is the side with two flat copper wires running it’s length). 3. Insert adapter into track slot. Pull downward on the adapter while rotating the adapter 90º. 4. Release the adapter so the locking tab seats in the track slot. 5. Removal is the reverse procedure.

Field Cutting Track Continued 2. Do not allow bus wires and insulation to protrude from the end and do not cut the wires and push insulation back into the track. 3. Make a flush cut through track with a fine-toothed hacksaw. File any rough edges or flash. Brush out any remaining filings. 4. Once the flush cut is made trim 1/4” off the end of the copper bus wire. This will allow sufficient clearance for the end cap for a mating connector.
