INSTRUCTION SHEET NO.
Caution:
•Turn off power at fuse box before installing track.
•Instructions for grounding must be followed. Failure to do
so may result in a hazardous condition.
•Use only #12 ga. solid copper wire in connectors to maintain
proper track rating.
• Do not supply Advent Track from two separate 120V branch
circuits as this could overload the neutral track conductor
leading to an electrical safety hazard.
•Observe polarity, white (neutral) wire must be connected to
terminal marked "NEUT". Failure to observe Polarity may
result in an electrical hazard.
Swivel Stem mounting kits (0-90 deg., 48" long), for use in sloped
ceilings, may be attached to the track at any point and may be spaced
up to 4' apart. They are also used to feed power to the track: use the
stem closest to the track feed-in point. The unthreaded end of the
stem may be field cut using a hacksaw or similar cutting devise. The
Stem Extension Kit (48") is used to lengthen a stem (this stem cannot
be field cut).
A. FASTEN NON-POWER FEED STEMS TO CEILING
1. Mark centerline for track through center of outlet box.
2. Thread Mounting Screws into Stem Mounting Plates (Fig. C).
Remove green screw and washer from Non-Power Feed Stems.
Fasten Stem Mounting Plates to ceiling, either to building structure
or with permanent fasteners capable of supporting at least 50 lbs.
each. Space Stems no more than 4' apart. (See Fig. A.)
3. Attach all Stems which do not carry Supply Leads as follows:
Slide Upper Swivel Housing over Swivel Casting Assembly and
attach to Neck Wireway. (See Fig. C).
Drive Longer Set Screw into Upper Swivel Housing and through
hole in front of casting until you engage the hole in Neck Wireway.
Place Canopy over Swivel Casting Assembly and Mounting Screws.
(See Fig. C).
Secure with Cap Screws until Canopy rests tightly against ceiling.
Slide Stem into Swivel Casting Assembly and drive Set Screw
through hole in the side of casting. Slide Lower Casting Assembly.
Drive Set Screw into Lower Swivel Housing and through the hole in
the front of casting until Stem is held tight. Assembly Track Clamps
using Flat Head Screws. Screw Track Clamps onto bottom of Stem.
(See Figs B and E.)
B. Fasten Power Feed Stem to Outlet Box
1. Outlet Box must be capable of supporting a maximum weight of 50
pounds. Power Feed Stem must be adjacent to track feed-in point.
Note: Wires cannot pass beneath two stems.
2. Thread Mounting Screws into Stem Mounting Plate (Fig. Cc).
3. Pass Supply Leads (#12 AWG solid TW wires supplied by others)
through Swivel Casting Assembly. Leave at least 6" of Supply Lead
