10-Wire Top Power Infeed
(In-Line) Installation with Flex
Screen Intersection
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 12).
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 12).
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 12), four on each side. At
Spine Screen #1's end, as illustrated,
position the screen connector up
against the vertical frame channel of
Spine Screen #1, 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 Spine Screen #1 (Figure 12 &
Detail T).
5. Position the in-line top infeed power
pole as illustrated with the bottom
backside "tongue" facing at the
end of the adjoining Flex Screen to
install, 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.
6. Carefully lift and arrange the Flex
Screen foot under the perpendicular
Spine Screen foot, aligning the Flex
Screen against the top infeed power
pole backside during the process
(Figure 12).
