Lightolier Stem Mounting Kit Installation Instructions

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL TRACK, CONNECTOR, FEED-IN-KITS, AND ACCESSORY
INSTRUCTION SHEETS BEFORE INSTALLING ANY TRACK ITEM.
This fixture is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local or Federal
code specifications. To assure full compliance with codes and regulations, check with your local electrical
inspector before installation. To prevent electric shock, turn off electricity at fuse box before proceeding.
Retain these instructions for maintenance reference.
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.
Stem mounting kits (18" or 48" long) may be attached to the track at
any point and may be spaced up to 4' apart. They may be used to feed
power into the track. The unthreaded end of a stem may be field cut
using a hacksaw or a similar cutting device. The Stem Extension Kits
(48") is used to lengthen a stem 48". The Stem Extension Kit cannot
be field cut.
Instructions show the Stem Mounting Kit being installed on Basic
Track, providing power feed to a Live End. The same instructions
apply to power feed to an Advent Live End, Basic, Advent, ProSpec In-
Line, "L", "T", "X" or Variable Angle connector and ProSpec Feed Track.
For Basic "X" and "T" connectors, the neutral terminal is the lower
terminal which lines up with the bead in the track, see Instruction
Sheet IS:6165.
