NOTE: Wires per channel are limited by wire fill in the utility box.
15A, 125V Tele-Power Poles UL listed by Underwriters’ Laboratories will be constructed with 12-gauge wire, and poles that are cUL Listed
may be constructed with 14-gauge or 12-gauge wire. Higher amperage poles will be wired to meet applicable codes.
STANDARD POLE HARDWARE
Pole Foot – Non-adjustable
foot with velcro
®
supplied
on base to secure pole to
carpet.
Tee Bar Clamp – Clamp is
used for quick and secure
fastening of the top of the
pole.
Ceiling Tile trim – The
trim provides a finished
appearance where pole
passes through ceiling panel.
WIRING OPTIONS
Utility Box –
Box is
mechanically fastened to pole
and hard wired to receptacles.
Box ended pole only.
10' Cord End –
Cord is hard wired
to receptacles in
pole. Maximum
of three cords per
compartment.
Cord-ended
pole only.
Walkerflex –
The Walkerflex
Manufactured
Wiring System
can be used to
feed receptacles
in the power
pole or to feed
subsequent
systems at ground level.
Make all necessary connections
to complete the
circuit.
STANDARD POLE HARDWARE
1. Remove ceiling tile. 2.
Align pole vertically (using a level) with top
of pole resting against ceiling T-bar. After
aligning pole, anchor to the floor using the
velcro pad. For carpeted floors, use a
single swatch of velcro attached to the
bottom of the foot. For tile, fasten the
second swatch to the floor.
3.
Assemble the pole mounting
bracket on the ceiling T-bar
at approximate location as
shown. Tighten bracket
locking thumb screw
loosely so bracket is free
to slide on T-bar.
4. Place pole in the mounting
bracket, checking that receptacle
orientation is as desired. Align
ole vertically (using level) and
tighten both pole and bracket
locking thumb screws.
Figure 1
5. Remove utility box cover and
connect power leads from pole
to overhead wiring system, using
wiring methods of applicable
electrical codes. Hook up cord
ends, or Walkerflex Connectors
to adjoining wiring systems.
6. Install low potential cables
by fishing them down
through the opening in
the top of the pole or by
removing the cover,
laying the cables in and
replacing the cover.
