Corner Cut Solution

Overview

This guide describes how to cut and install the AVTrac with a 90° bend. Before

starting, read the AVTrac User Guide for important information about selecting

and preparing the installation site, installing the connectivity box, running

cables, and ﬁnishing the installation.

CAUTION: Check the bend radius of your cables (see ﬁgure at right),

including the high voltage ﬂex conduit. Ensure that when

multiple cables are present, they can all bend 90° without

damage and without obstructing the passage of other cables.

When the ﬂexible conduit provided is bent through 90° it leaves

a space that is approximately 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) wide and

0.67 inches (1.7 cm) high for running AV cables.

CAUTION: If the total of lengths A plus B (see ﬁgure at right) is greater

than 8 feet, you will need additional 4 foot AVTrac extension

kits (part number 70‑645‑04).

Required Tools and Equipment

To cut and prepare the 90° track, you may need some or all of the following items that are not provided by Extron:

• Tape measure • Blades for cutting plastic ramps and aluminum

track (one for each)

• Marker

• Rafter tool or angle measuring tool • Safety glasses

• 10 inch sliding compound miter saw • File or deburring tool

IMPORTANT: By this point, the installation site must be prepared. If necessary, remove carpeting. For

complete information, consult the AVTrac User Guide, available at www.extron.com.

Preparing the 90° AVTrac

1. Decide where the ﬁrst section of the AVTrac (from the wall to the bend)

will run. Assemble the track components, ensure they are all level at one

end and measure the maximum length along the outside edge (A).

2. Mark the maximum length on the outside edge of the track (be sure you

are marking the correct side of the track) and draw a line at 45° across

all the pieces to mark the outside edges of the outside plastic ramp, the

aluminum track, and the inside plastic track.

3. Determine where the second section of the AVTrac (from the bend to the

connectivity box) will run and measure the maximum length along the

outside edge (B).

4. Mark the maximum length on the outside edge of the track (be sure you

are marking the correct side of the track) and draw a line at 45° across

all the pieces to mark the outside edges of the outside plastic ramp, the

aluminum track, and the inside plastic track.

CAUTION: Mark the pieces before making any cuts, and make

sure that the cuts will be in the correct orientation.

NOTE: The aluminum base track runs under the connectivity

box. The cover track runs up to (but not under) the

connectivity box. Cut the cover track 12 inches shorter

than the base track to accommodate the connectivity box

(see the ﬁgure at right).
