Assemble
Create cable suspended runs of busSTRUT track busway. Usually, these are running perpendicular to structural joists. Insert busSTRUT lengths through hangers/crossovers working from finished height.
To suspend xLine track busway, begin by attaching cable assembly to structure. Next, assemble hangers and attach cable glide. After assembling the hangers, feed the cables through glide to attach. Slide track busway through suspended hangers. Finally, level the track busway and trim cable. See video and illustrations for more detail on suspending xLine track busway.
Attach cable Assembly to structure. It is the contractor and/or engineer’s responsibility to determine correct connection to structure (beam clamp, etc).
Assemble Hangers and attach cable glide.
Feed cables through glide to attach.
Create cable suspended runs of busSTRUT track busway. Usually, these are running perpendicular to structural joists. Insert busSTRUT lengths through hangers/crossovers working from finished height.
Level busSTRUT track busway and trim cable leaving enough pass through cable for future leveling.
Joiners are used to mechanically and electrically connect individual xLine track busway lengths. Attach joiners to each end of connecting xLine Track Busway. See video and illustrations for more detail on how to use plug-in track busway joiners.
Attach joiners then tighten set screws on the bottom of the joiner. Joiners require 3/32 Hex key for tightening set screws.
Line up center of insert with etched centerline on joiner sleeve. A joiner insert is a single piece unit that is installed with two knobs, one must be fully turned in each abutting length. As a result power can continue to flow from one length to the next.
Crossovers can be dropped onto suspended xLine track busway to create intersections. See video and illustrations for more detail on how to use xLine track busway crossovers.
Crossovers can be dropped onto suspended xLine track busway to create an intersection with a perpendicular run of track busway.
Slide perpendicular runs of xLine track busway through the crossover and tighten the set screws.
Perpendicular runs can create a full grid or be short bridges which are easily moved into the desired position.
Slimline Jumper (MD2020-UNIV-IJ-B-X) is a single piece unit allowing power to flow from one length of xLine track busway to the next. See the video and directions below to learn how to install slimline jumpers.
A single piece unit that is installed with two knobs, one must be fully turned in each abutting length. As a result, power can continue to flow from one length to the next.
Make sure that the slimline crossover is tightened before attaching the slimline jumper.
First, clip the jumper to the crossover.
Seat the jumper into the busSTRUT track busway by squeezing tightly on one side and turning the knob. Then, turn the other knob to complete the circuit.
This 16” length supplies power to a configuration from the preassembled cord and to the abutting length via a joiner insert that must be installed.
The Starter Feed is a 16” power supply and comes with a 1/4-20 Stud to create an additonal hang point and a 15’ 15/4 SOOW Cord to connect power to the system. Attach the cable glide to the stud and tighten. Connect the aircraft cable as shown in Step 1.
Once the starter is properly suspended, connect the starter to the suspended grid using a Joiner and Insert as shown in step 2. Connect SO Cord to power the system.
