Definition
A WireWorks Tech Panel differs from a
standard WireWorks panel as follows:
1. Tech Panels do not utilize base
raceways on one or both sides
of panel.
2. Tech Panel bottom tiles extend down
an additional 6" in lieu of
the base raceway.
3. Tech Panels utilize plastic
horizontal light blocks instead of
steel horizontal rails wherever
possible. Figure 1.
Installing Tech Panels
1. Panel frame of tech panel assembles
in the same manner as standard
WireWorks panel.
Note: Every Tech Panel has steel
horizontals at top and bottom. Refer
to installation drawing to locate
middle rails.
2. Install plastic light blocks where
specified on installation drawing.
Figure 2.
Push tab on light block with finger,
no tools required, in towards pocket
of vertical post and seat both tabs
into the pockets (in which the top
rivet of the steel horizontal would
normally be located).
Note: Light blocks 42” and greater
require the installation of clips.

3. There are three different
combinations of base tile hooks:
• Inline (full post)
• End-of-run (full post)
• Corner conditions that use half
post: 90˚ corner, 3-Way, 4-Way
and 180˚ inline
Inline
To install inline base tile hooks,
utilize two of part # 46.5172. Snap
pieces together at base of post and
rest on lip of glide housing with
hooks facing up. Figure 3.
End-of-run
To install end-of-run base tile
hooks, utilize one part # 46.5172
and one part # 46.5174. Figure 4.
End-of-run trim for Tech Panel has
a 21⁄2" high notch.
Corner Conditions
90˚ corner conditions utilize
two part # 46.5172 and two
part # 46.5173. Figure 5. The
small piece without the hook is
mounted outboard, away from the
tile, keeping the trim support tab
pointed towards the universal trim.
Note: A 3-way corner utilizes
three part # 46.5172 and three of
part # 46.5173.
A 4-way corner utilizes four of
each part.
A 180˚ inline uses two of each part.

may result in instability. All screws, nuts and bolts must be
tightened securely and must be checked periodically after
assembly. Failure to assemble properly, or to secure parts
may result in assembly failure and injury.

Installing Base Raceway
A “One Sided” base raceway may be required to provide
power/data to the opposite side of a Tech Panel. Base
raceway consists of the raceway, base locks and filler
plates (panels 24" and wider only).
1. Slide the base raceway into place under the panel
with the doors lying in the open position. When the
raceway is centered under the panel around the
glides, snap the trim up over the lip on the glide
housings. Figure 7.
Hint: Base raceway installation is made easier if all
glides have been turned down at least 1⁄4".
2. Push each base cover lock away from the center of
the panel until the plunger pops down into the
locked position. Figure 8. To ensure the lock is
engaged, press inward on the lock. It may be
necessary to press down on the plunger to ensure
the lock engages.
3. Push the door of the base raceway upward until it
engages the lower horizontal. Figure 9. The base
cover filler plates remain in position unless a
receptacle is being used in that location. If there is a
receptacle, snap the filler plate out from inside of the
base cover and snap a bezel in its place from the
front of the cover (See Receptacle/Bezel
Installation, page 24 of Panel Installation
Manual).
Assemble units as described herein only. To do otherwise
may result in instability. All screws, nuts and bolts must be
tightened securely and must be checked periodically after
assembly. Failure to assemble properly, or to secure parts
may result in assembly failure and injury.
