FOR USE WITH BASIC OR ADVENT LYTESPAN@ TRACK SYSTEMS ONLY
READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING.	R0790	Page 1 of 4

This fixture is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations. TO assure full

compliance with local codes and regulations, check with your local electrical inspector before installation. To prevent electrical shock, turn off electricity at fuse box before proceeding.

Retain these instructions for maintenance rafaranca.

Suspension Beam is a system of extruded aluminum housings which enclose Basic Lytespan (1 circuit) or Advent Lytespan (2 circuit)

Track. The housings may be used individually, in continuous runs or in a variety of patterns. They may be suspended on cables or stems. They may also be mounted wall to wall without ceiling supports in spans up to 12’.

The housings may be cut, but must be straight and square. The cut end of a housing may be attached to another housing or to a

housing/splice box. Power cannot be fed into the cut end of a housing from a cable or stem kit.

CAUTION:

●TURN OFF POWER AT FUSE BOX BEFORE INSTALLING TRACK.

Q INSTRUCTIONS FOR GROUNDING PER INSTRUCTION SHEET OF THE FEED-IN KIT MUST BE FOLLOWED. FAIIAJRElU DO SO MAY RESULT IN A HAZARDOUS CONDITION.

●DO NOT SUPPLY ADVENT TRACK FROM TWO SEPARATE 120V BRANCH CiRCU#TS AS THIS COULD OVERLOAD THE NEUTRAL TRACK CONDUCTOR LEADING TO AN ELECTRICAL SAFETY HAZARD.

●OBSERVE POLARITY, WHITE SUPPLY LEAD (NEUTRAL) lQ CONTACT ON B@ADSIDE OF TRACK.

●REFER TO LOAD DATA, PAGE 4, FOR MAXIMUM SUSPENSION BEAM LOADING.

INSTALLATION OF SUSPENSION BEAM WITH CABLE OR STEM KITS

Power may be fed from cables or stems through either end of straight run of housings, including the end of a housing attached to a

housing/splice box.

MOUNTING CABLE KITS TO CEILING

Lay out cables so they will be uniformly spaced along housings;

do not exceed 8’ spacing. In an open pattern locate first and

iast cables approximately 1’ from the ends. Cables are NOT RECOMMENOEOfor straight runs.

Locate cabie with electrical feed no closer than 6“and no further than 10” from the end of housing to which power is to be fed. The 10” distance permits the supply leads to reach the

wiring compartment and may be increased by the amount the cable kit is shortened on the job.

1.To shorten cables, crimp LOOSE CABLE CLAMP (with diagonal cutters) at desired position and cut off excess cable.

2.Fasten TRACK CLAMPS to SPECIAL SCREW with washer and nut.

3.a. CABLE KiT WITH ELECTRICAL FEED:

Splice SUPPLY LEADS to branch circuit leads in outlet box (white to white, black to black, red to red for Advent) and fasten GROUND WIRE to outlet box. Cap or cut red lead when using Basic Track, Fasten MOUNTING PLATE to outlet box with outlet

box screws.

MOUNTING STEM KITS TO CEILING

Lay out stems so they will be uniformly spaced along housings; do not exceed 8’ spacing. in a straight run or an open

pattern locate first and last stems approximately 1‘ from the ends. Locate stem for power feed at ieast 6“ from the end of the housing to which power is to be fed.

See Instruction Sheet packed with STEM KIT for instructions on shortening stems, mounting

—-stems to ceiling and installing the STEM EXTENSION KIT. Make sure supply leads (not supplied) from stem are long enough to reach the feed-in point to the track.
