Features

Tangent Surface Track is a one-circuit electrical distribution system designed 
to support and supply all Tangent lighting units in a flexible manner.  The track 
can be installed individually in straight runs or in a variety of patterns using 
the appropriate connectors.  The track can also be bent by hand in the field 
or with an FX100 bending tool into curves with a minimum radius of 3'. All 
track lengths can be field cut.

1. Tangent

 Track:

 Anodized aluminum with a clear protective coating 

2. Insulating Liner:

  Clear polycarbonate; houses conductors

3. Conductor (2):

 Tin plated copper

4. Polarity Dimple:

 Identifies the 120V line conductor

5. End Cap:

 Silver painted polycarbonate

Finish

Tangent track and mounting anchors are anodized aluminum with a clear 
protective coating.  Connectors and end caps are painted in a coordinating 
silver finish.  All painted finishes are baked enamel.

Electrical

Capacity is 20 amps at 120 volts 60Hz per branch circuit.  The track units are 
polarized and continuously grounded throughout.  Electrical conductors are 
contained in the polycarbonate extrusion.  Track is intended for wiring to 
branch circuit building wire with ground.  All wiring must be in accordance 
with National and Local Codes.

Mechanical

Track units plug together using tangent connectors and lock securely to 
prevent accidental separation. Tangent

 lighting units can be attached at any 

point along the track, up to 3" from end of Track.
