FEEDING ALONG THE TRACK LENGTH (Fig. G)
A floating splice box may be used to feed the "Feed Track" from along the tracks length. The floating splice box can be mounted anywhere on the track up to 4' from the end of the track. The wires are passed along the top of the track and into the feed end of the track. The floating splice box may only be used when there is accessibility to the splice box after the installation is complete.
Floating Splice Box (Cat. no. 26660) sold separately. See instructions supplied with 26660 for complete installation details.
