NOTE: 1. In Canada, replace each occurrence of 277 with 347 and 480 with 600.

2. Not available in Canada.

3. 277V Taps can be used for 480V applications.

4. 120V Taps can be used for 208V applications.

5. Taps come with 9" lead conductors or cord-sets standard unless otherwise indicated.

*NOTE: In Canada replace each occurrence of 277 with 347 and 480 with 600.

This Sentinel Lighting system conforms to and should be

installed and properly grounded in compliance with

requirements of the current National Electrical Code

and/or codes administered by local authorities.

This Sentinel Lighting system is UL listed and CSA

listed and is made for interior use only and should be

installed in conformance with current local and/or the

National Electrical Code.

Chan-L-Wire is not suitable for damp or wet locations.

Temperature Caution: Cable pulling and Tap installation should not be

attempted in temperatures below 32°F / 0°C.

Two installers are recommended!— one to see that Cable is kept flat

in 615CLWA Pull-In Guide and one to pull at far end of run.

For short runs: A length of Cable may be cut from reel and loosely

recoiled to prevent twisting during pull-in.

For longer runs: Cable may be unreeled as it is pulled in.

Tools Required:

• Utility knife

• Hand-held hacksaw or hacksaw blade

• PVC Cutter or commercially available anvil blade cutter

NOTE: Tabletop or flat cutting surface recommended for easiest cable preparation.

1d Install Coupling.

2b Attach CLWEC

Endcap/Puller to Cable.

1. Insert prepared end of Cable into bottom

half of Endcap/Puller. Bend cable upward

to match slope of CLWEC base.

2. Make sure that insulation barriers

are positioned in cable slits between

each conductor.

3. Snap cover over cable into bottom

half of Endcap/Puller.

4. Tightly secure cover screw.

2d Attach 615CLWA

Pull-In Guide to Strut.

2f Continue pulling Cable into Channel.

IMPORTANT: Engagement of Endcap/Puller and Cable in Channel

should be monitored during pull-in. Cable must be kept flat and

prevented from twisting between coil or reel and Pull-In Guide.

Two installers are recommended.

Pull Cable until the Endcap/Puller is approximately one foot from

exiting the end of the Channel run. Remove Pull-In Guide from end

of Channel and cut feed end of Cable leaving approximately one

foot extending from Channel end.

1e Connect continuing Channel sections.

1. Align end of Channel

to center of locating

hole on coupling.

2a Prepare cable for Endcap/Puller.

1. Using a PVC Cutter or an anvil

blade cutter, prepare end of cable

with clean, perpendicular cut.

2. Using utility knife, cut

away side flanges 8-12".

(This allows cable to fit

inside CLWEC.)

3. Using hacksaw blade, slit

1/4" - 1/2" between each

conductor on score marks.

(This allows cable to be

positioned between

insulation barriers in CLWEC.)

2c Attach Pull-In Rope (by others) to Endcap/Puller.

NOTE: 1/4" diameter Polypro

Rope with 1200 lb. tensile

strength and 210 lb. working

load is recommended.

2. Closed loop knot.

1. Thread pull-in rope through

hole in the direction as shown.

2e Feed Cable into Strut.

1. Place cable over Pull-In Guide

rollers. PRINTED SIDE of Cable

must be facing towards rollers.
