AVTr ac

The AVTrac Raceway Transition provides a clean and efﬁcient transition from the ﬂoor‑mounted AVTrac to a wall‑mounted raceway (not provided).

For complete information about installing the AVTrac system, see the AVTrac User Guide, which is available on the Extron website (www.extron.com).

The two available versions are:

z Compatible with the Wiremold 4000 series (shown in the illustrations)

z Compatible with most Euro Channel trunk systems. The Euro Channel kit does not have

the rabbit ears.

NOTE: The Euro Channel version ﬁts wall‑mounted raceways with dimensions

90 ‑ 120 mm (3.5 ‑ 4.7 inches) wide x 50 ‑ 65 mm (2.0 ‑ 2.6 inches) deep.

Install either model as follows:

1. Install the AVTrac so that it runs up to and meets

the foot of the wall. Do not ﬁx the cover track to the base track or cover the ramps with carpet at this time.

2. Remove the two screws holding the front plate in

position and lift it away from the transition unit (see the ﬁgure at right).

3. Place the transition unit on top of the base track

of the AVTrac and against the wall. Mark the positions of at least two mounting holes in the base.
