INSTRUCTION SHEETS BEFORE INSTALLING ANY PROSPEC™ 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.

Recessed Power Extension Connector for use with Recessed ProSpec
The Power Extension Connector allows power to be jumped from one
track, around or through structural obstacles, to another track unit. It
replaces the Dead End Cover at the end of a Feed Track unit or a run
of track units. Power can be fed into or removed from the Recessed
Power Extension Connector by using any of the power feed-in kits
available for Recessed ProSpec Track. A few examples are shown on
the reverse side.
Caution:
• Turn off power at fuse box before installing the Recessed
Power Extension Connector and 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.
• Observe polarity, white (neutral) wire must be connected
to terminal marked "NEUT". Failure to observe Polarity may
result in an electrical hazard.
• Do not use Track as a conduit support. Independent conduit
supports (such as suitable conduit straps) must be used to
attach the conduit installation to the building structure.
