WARNING! For protection from electric shock, do not power the track when not in use or when

Power cables and power plug
The track system requires a power input cable with a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 NAC3FX-W(-TOP)
cable connector for AC mains power input, and also the TrackRunner Upright requires a NAC3MX-
W(-TOP) cable connector for AC output to a powered fixture. The cable must rated 20A minimum,
have three conductors 1,5mm2 (AWG 16) minimum conductor size and an outer cable diameter
of 6-16mm (0.24-0.47 inch). Cables must be heat resistant to 90°C (194°F) minimum. In the EU the
cables must be <HAR> approved or equivalent and in the USA minimum hard usage type SJT or
equivalent.
If you install a power plug on the power cable, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug that is rated
20 A for USA and 16A for Europe.
Follow the plug manufacturer’s instructions. Table 1 shows
standard wire color-coding schemes and some possible pin identification schemes; if pins are not
clearly identified, or if you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified
electrician.
