Contech LT Series Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Identifying Single-Circuit and Two-Circuit Track
• Check the identification label inside the track. Single-circuit track
will be labeled with one of the following part numbers: LT-2, LT-4,
LT-6, LT-8 or LT-12. Two-circuit track will be labeled with one of
the following part numbers: LT-22, LT-24, LT-26, LT-28 or LT-212.
• If you are unable to see the label, measure the height of the track
from top to bottom. Single-circuit track will measure 11/16";
two-circuit track will measure 13/16".
• The track can also be identified by looking inside the channel.
Single-circuit track will have two conductors, one on each side of
the channel. Two-circuit track will have three conductors, two on top
of each other on side of the channel, and one on the oposite side.
• To secure track to ceiling, 2', 4', and 6' track sections are
supplied with (2) toggle bolts, 8' and 12' track sections are
supplied with (3) toggle bolts. If suspending track from the
ceiling, (2) supports are recommended per 2', 4', and 6' track
section, (3) supports per8' and 12' track section.
Single- and Two-Circuit Track Proper Polarity Alignment
• Track polarity is indicated by a grooved polarity line that runs the
entire length of the track. (Figure 1)
• Track must be joined together maintaining polarity of the entire
track run. When installing a continuous run of track, remove each
end cap as it is being connected. Removing all end caps prior to
installation may result in improper connections and arcing.
• When installing track end feeds and couplings, the small arrow on
the feed or coupling must be inserted into the track pointing at
the polarity line. (Figure 2)
• Insert couplings and track feeds fully into track housing maintain-
ing polarity. Tighten set screw at each coupling/feed point.
Single- and Two-Circuit Track Cutting Instructions
If track is cut in the field, the following steps must be completed in
order for the track to function properly:
• Aluminum track and plastic insulator must be the same length.
• After cutting track to proper lenght, all copper conductors must
be cut back 3/8" from each end to prevent arcing and allow
couplings and power feeds to be inserted completely. (Figure 3)
• Follow all other instructions for installing track once the cuts have
been completed. Make sure to continue to follow polarity.
All specifications subject to change without notice.
