FEEDING ALONG THE TRACK LENGTH (Fig. G)
A floating splice box may be used to feed the "Feed Track" from along the
tracks length. The floating splice box can be mounted anywhere on the track
up to 4' from the end of the track. The wires are passed along the top of the
track and into the feed end of the track. The floating splice box may
only be used when there is accessibility to the splice box after the
installation is complete.
Floating Splice Box (Cat. no. 26660) sold separately. See instructions
supplied with 26660 for complete installation details.
