Screens - Spine Screen 10-Wire Power
Assembly Instructions
10-Wire Top Power Infeed
(In-Line) Installation
Note:
All screens must be
mechanically connected together,
with all 10-wire rigid wireways and
screen-to-screen power connections
appropriately installed before adding
power infeed, or connecting infeed to
power source.
Note:
The power infeeds are to be
connected to the power source by
a qualified electrician who must
follow all state and local codes at the
building site and check the electrical
integrity of the finished system.
1. Per the space-planning layout,
determine the location for top power
infeed. Make sure that the screens
to receive top power infeed are near
their final location, and are plumb
and level.
2. At the ceiling, directly above the
location where the in-line top infeed
power pole will connect between two
Spine Screen ends, drop a plumb
line from the ceiling, down to one
top, end corner of the Spine Screen,
then mark that location at the ceiling.
At the mark on the ceiling, carefully
mark and cut a rectangular hole
through the ceiling at 3
3
/
8
x 3”, as
illustrated for the power pole to go
through at a later step (Figure 10).
3. Measure from the ceiling, down
to the floor at the end of the
Spine Screen, then add 4” to that
measurement for required power
pole length. Take the top infeed
power pole in hand and transfer that
measurement to the top of the power
pole, then squarely cut the top of the
power pole off to that measurement
(Figure 10).
Note:
If a power pole extension
is needed for the top infeed power
pole to reach the ceiling, it must be
installed before installing the screen
connectors. Reference “Power Pole
Extension Installation” instructions
on page 19, then return to step 4 on
this page.

4. The two required screen connectors
come with eight molding clips
installed (shown uninstalled,
Figure 10), four on each side.
At each Spine Screen end, as
illustrated, position the screen
connector up against the vertical
frame channel of the Spine Screen,
with clips oriented as shown. Using
a firm hand, press at the molding
clips, on the screen connector one at
a time to seat them into the vertical
frame channel at the end of the Spine
Screen (Figure 10 & Detail Q).
5. Position the in-line top infeed power
pole, with the side opening to the
desired side of the screen, and orient
the top, cut end facing upward. Route
the top of the power pole carefully
up through the cut-out in the ceiling
while pressing the side toward the
screen connector/clips in the vertical
frame channel of Spine Screen #1.
Let the bottom of the power pole rest
on the ground, then press forcefully
from inside the power pole, to
engage the screen connector/clips
of Spine Screen #1 into the channel
of the top infeed power pole. Next,
move the Spine Screen #2 over to
align its installed screen connector/
clips with the appropriate power pole
channel. Level and plumb Spine
Screen #2 to #1 by twisting the
height-adjustable glides clockwise or
counter-clockwise until the frame’s
vertical edges are aligned and tops of
screens are at the same height. Press
Spine Screen #2 screen connector/
clips into the power pole channel
to engage such that both Spine
Screens are snapped into the in-line
top infeed power pole (Figure 10 &
Detail Q).
