XY Configurations
When specifying Topo baseboard utilities it is important to
correctly identify an X configuration vs. a Y configuration.
Making the correct identification requires 3 things:
1. Understanding the orientation of the baseboard utility
relative to the flex-fit wall.
2. Knowing the orientation of the flex-fit wall relative to the
building power source.
3. Understanding the connection of one baseboard utility
to the next.
The orientation of the baseboard utility, relative to the flex-
fit wall, is always the same - the round modular connector
that protrudes from each side of the baseboard utility must
always be under the pocket segment of the flex-fit wall.
The reason for this is simple: the modular connector
referred to is the power source for the desktop utility and
desktops are always next to the pocket segment of the
flex-fit wall.
There are two possible orientations of the flex-fit wall
relative to the building power source:
1. The pocket segment of the flex-fit wall can be closest to
the building power source (See Illustration A).
2. The loop section of the flex-fit wall can be closest to the
building power source (See Illustration B).
If the pocket segment of the flex-fit wall is closest to the
building power source it means the power will come into
the baseboard utility at the end nearest the modular
connection for the desk top utility. This is a Y configuration.
If the loop section of the flex-fit wall is closest to the
building power source, the power will come into the end of
the baseboard utility opposite the modular connection.
This is an X configuration.
The connection of one baseboard utility to the next
baseboard utility follows a simple rule: if the first baseboard
utility is an X configuration the next one connected to it
must be a Y, and vice versa.
