Suspension Beam is a system of extruded aluminum housings which enclose Basic Lytespan (1 circuit) or Advent Lytespan (2 circuit)
Track. The housings may be used individually, in continuous runs or in a variety of patterns. They may be suspended on cables or
stems. They may also be mounted wall to wall without ceiling supports in spans up to 12’.
The housings may be cut, but must be straight and square. The cut end of a housing may be attached to another housing or to a
housing/splice box. Power cannot be fed into the cut end of a housing from a cable or stem kit.
CAUTION:
● TURN OFF POWER AT FUSE BOX BEFORE INSTALLING TRACK.
Q INSTRUCTIONS FOR GROUNDING PER INSTRUCTION SHEET OF THE FEED-IN KIT MUST BE FOLLOWED.
FAIIAJRElU DO SO MAY RESULT IN A HAZARDOUS CONDITION.
● DO NOT SUPPLY ADVENT TRACK FROM TWO SEPARATE 120V BRANCH CiRCU#TS AS THIS COULD
OVERLOAD THE NEUTRAL TRACK CONDUCTOR LEADING TO AN ELECTRICAL SAFETY HAZARD.
● OBSERVE POLARITY, WHITE SUPPLY LEAD (NEUTRAL) lQ CONTACT ON B@ADSIDE OF TRACK.
● REFER TO LOAD DATA, PAGE 4, FOR MAXIMUM SUSPENSION BEAM LOADING.
INSTALLATION OF SUSPENSION BEAM WITH CABLE OR STEM KITS
Power may be fed from cables or stems through either end of straight run of housings, including the end of a housing attached to a
housing/splice box.
