Connection to a power source, by a licensed electrician, and quantity of receptacles used for a given cir-
cuit must be in compliance with all national and local electrical codes. Connect a maximum of 13 recep-
tacles (12 in Canada, and fewer in certain U.S. locales) to one circuit. Consult applicable national and
local electrical codes.
Disconnect electrical connections between panels prior to removal of a mechanical connection. Ensure
that the power supply is disconnected prior to disconnecting any electrical components.
When electrical components are interconnected from one panel to another, the panels must be mechan-
ically connected per the appropriate panel-to-panel installation instructions.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in a fire or electrical shock.

To facilitate ease of configuration of electrical components:
• At least one power harness should be used at a Tee connection, when all 3 panels are powered.
• At least two power harnesses should be used at a Cross connection, when all 4 panels are powered.
• A power harness should be used in a panel positioned at the end of a panel run (See Illustration. 3).
• A power harness should be used in a panel, adjacent to a power pole location, into which a ceiling in-feed is to be connected.
• Power harness should be used in panels adjacent to 12" and 18" wide panels.
• When multiple 12" wide and 18" wide panels are used at a Tee or Cross junction, an additional 12" wide or 18" wide pass-thru cable is required.
• Pass-thru cables for 12" wide panels must be routed in a straight line into adjacent panels (cannot be routed at 90° angle); therefore:
• no more than one 12" wide panel should be used at 90° junction.
• no more than two 12" wide panels should be used at a Tee or Cross junction, and the two should be positioned in-line.
Power harness
If panel at the end of a run is powered,
reverse orientation of harness in last panel.
End of panel run
Engage power block onto
mounting bracket into a
snapped (locked) position.

pass-through harness.
Receptacle
Fully engage receptacle
into power block, then
slide receptacle sideward
until receptacle snaps
into a locked position.
To remove receptacle,
depress locking tab
and slide receptacle
sideward to disengage,
then pull receptacle outward.
Insert a flat blade
screwdriver between
locking tab and flange
of mounting bracket;
rotate to depress lock-
ing tab and slide out-
ward.

Illustration 8. Base or Ceiling Side In-Feed Installation:
Improperly installed electrical components
can fail resulting in personal injury and/or
property damage. Connection of the in-feed
device to the power source should be per-
formed by a licensed electrician in compliance
with all national and local electrical codes.
To prevent personal injury, ensure in-feed
power is disconnected before component
installation.
WARNING
Pass in-feed cable through base
rail cover prior to connecting to
building electrical supply
180° swivel joint
Cover - install after power
in-feed and base rail
cover is in place.
Route cable to
power source (refer
to wiring diagram on
page 1 for proper
wiring connections).
Note: In-feed cable can be shortened. Remove
and reapply UL listing/schematic, near end
of cable, as needed.

Note: For information regarding installation of
power poles, refer to the Power Pole
Installation Instructions.
