Recessed ProSpec™ Track
POWER CONTINUITY FROM
A STRAIGHT RUN OF TRACK
This can be accomplished by using Feed Tracks coupler together, by using Feed Track with a power extension connector, or by using Plain Track with multiple Power Extensions. The Power Extension Connector is sold separately (CAT, NO. 26646WH). See instructions with the power extension for installation details.
NOTE: THIS TRACK SYSTEM IS NOT POLARIZED. Connectors can be installed into both sides of the Plain Track and in any orientation. There is no key that will prevent insertion of the connectors. Connectors cannot be attached to the feed side of the Feed Track. Electrical polarity is maintained by proper wiring of the circuits. (See Fig F.)

FIELD CUTTING TRACK
•Remove and save the Dead End Cover.
•Cut the track using a metal cutting blade (preferably in a miter box to obtain a square cut)
•Remove ALL burrs and sharp edges from the cut surface of the track being careful not to destroy the integrity of the track geometry. There should be no burrs between the copper wire(s) and the aluminum track housing.
•If an electrical connector is being installed into the cut section, open the GAP of all copper wires using a wedging tool (such as a flat blade screwdriver). CAUTION; DO NOT OPEN THE GAP MORE
THAN 3/16" FROM THE EDGE OF THE TRACK EXTRUSION.
•Insert the Dead End Cover into the end of the track run.
Aluminum Track Housing
Open copper conductor gap after cutting
Open gap 3/16" max. from track edge. Typical for all copper wires.
