FIELD CUTTING TRACK TO SPECIAL LENGTHS (OPTIONAL):
REDRILL
MOUNTING
HOLE(S) IF
NECESSARY
Note: Cutting should be done preferably from the dead end of the track.
1. Remove dead end fitting and pull copper bus bars and insulators flush or even with one end of the track.
2. With a hacksaw, cut the flush end (the side with insulators and bus bars even to end) to desired length. Be sure to
th
allow 1/8 in. for dead end fitting which must be reinstalled to the track end.
3. Remove all burrs from the track, insulators and copper bus bars.
4. Push copper bus bars back into the insulators 3/8
Note: After you complete step 4, bus bar insulators should be a minimum of 3/8
each end of the insulator. If this is not the case, make appropriate modifications.
5. Reinstall the dead end and/or appropriate feed connector and tighten the screw.
CAUTION: After track has been field cut, make certain that each length of track that is 4 feet (1.22m) or less in
length has one mounting opening spaced a maximum of 6 in. (150mm) from each track end section. A single
section of track that is greater than 4 feet (1.22m) in length must have mounting openings a maximum of 12 in
(300 mm). from each end of the track with additional openings a minimum of every 4 feet (1.22m) long the length
of the track section. Additional openings every 4 feet (1.22m) along the track section may be added as needed.
IF ADDITIONAL MOUNTING HOLES ARE NEEDED (OPTIONAL):
1. Locate desired mounting hole(s) on the inside of the track section along the center line.
th
2. Using 3/16 diameter drill bit, drill a hole through the track channel.
CAUTION: Take care that you do not damage the bus bar insulators during the drilling operation. If you accidentally
damage any insulators, discard the track section. To prevent the risk of fire, or injury to person(s), DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO USE IT IN THE INSULATION.
3. Remove all burrs and install track as described above.

STEP 1:
CONNECT FLOATING LIVE-END CONNECTOR TO TRACK
1. The track section and floating live-end connector must be assembled so that polarity between conductors is
maintained. NOTE: The floating live-end connector has a tab on one side and the track has an indentation which
runs the length of the track channel (Refer to Figure2.). Align the floating live-end connector tab with the track
indentation and insert the floating live-end connector into the track channel so that the base of connector fits flush
against the track twist connector clockwise 1/4 (one quarter) turn so that the connector fits snugly against the track.
CAUTION: When the floating live-end connector is twisted into position make certain that the two copper tabs at the
base of the connector align with the two copper bars inside the track -this is necessary to maintain polarity.
2. The floating live-end connector should be positioned along the track so that it will align with the outlet box after
track is installed. The plastic canopy must enclose the floating live-end connector and cover the outlet box. The
plastic canopy should not cover the track mounting attachment holes. The plastic canopy attaches to the mounting
plate with the 2 screws after Electrical connections are made.
STEP 2:
ATTACH MOUNTING PLATE TO TRACK
Place the mounting plate on the back side of the track section so that the set screws on plate fit over the ridges on both
sides of the track. This will insure grounding continuity. Center the plate with previously installed floating live-end
connector and tighten the set screws on both sides of the track. Pass wires from the floating live end connector through
the hole in the mounting plate into ceiling outlet box. (See Figure 3)
