Installing your Starke Electro Track Kit
Read these instructions first and then unpackage all the parts of your Electro
Track kit.
Get familiar with the different parts and be looking for the bolt-on Electro
Track track hangers. (Optional channel brackets can be bolted or welded onto
your beam. Sold separately)
(Note: In some cases, hangers can be bolted directly to the I-beam without using channel brackets)
If the channel brackets and Electro Track hangars & track are not pre-
assembled on your beam, use the following instructions to start assembly. Bolt
the channel bracket through the hole on the top flange of your I-beam with C
channel legs of the new channel bracket pointing up. (If there is no hole on
your beam, you must drill holes as necessary.)
Spacing: If no holes exist on your beam, space the Electro Track brackets
(maximum spacing 79”) evenly along the beam. Attach your Electro Track hangers
to the channel brackets. Do not tighten hardware at this time.
At the end of the Electro Track system that will be closest to your building
power supply wiring, install one full length of the Starke Electro Track to be
used for “incoming power”.
(Green & Yellow color stripes should be facing away from the I-beam.) Drill a
¼” hole in each copper conductor rail to connect incoming power. At this
point, drill the holes for the wires to connect to later.
For electrification tracks longer than 100’ a “center power feed” option is available, see parts list.
Leaving a 4-inch to 6-inch gap, install the second section of Electro Track making sure the grounding conductor color stripes are lined up. (Each orange track is marked with a yellow and green line. This line indicates where the ground conductor is located.)
Press a conductor coupler onto the dimpled end of each of the 4 conductors as far as it will go. Important, coupler (SET-90072 65amp) body goes to the outside of the copper conductor leaving a smooth transition on the inside face of the coupler as shown below.
Push the next full section of Electro Track copper conductors into the couplers installed in step 1.5. Once all 4 conductors are started into the corresponding coupler use a needle nose plier to work the conductors the rest of the way into the couplers fully. Conductor ends must be in tight contact.
Place one half of a splice cover around the conductor couplers and tight to the casing on both sides. The pins on the cover should align with holes in the orange casing. Clip the other half of the splice cover into place bringing rails together and bolt splice cover. Repeat steps as necessary until the track is complete.
(Optional center power feed splice cover w/couplers shown at right-not included in the kit)
SET-90069 65amp
SET-90088 120amp
Place the power supply box on the “Incoming Power” end of the rail.
Place a bolt through each conductor hole so that the bolt head is between the conductors.
Place a wire terminal ring over the bolt on the outside of the conductor followed with the nut.
Important! First make sure the power source is disconnected and verified “off” with a voltage tester. Then connect the supply wire to the conductors. Starting with grounding terminal (green/yellow stripe) attach green wire then proceed clockwise with black, white, then red (red opposite to ground as shown above)
Tighten the cord grip (not included) and tighten the connection nuts and bolts. Then slide the power supply box cover in place and install the power supply cover.
Verify power is still off. At the other end of the Electro Track install the collector trolley. Make sure the grounding brush (yellow wire w/green stripe) is aligned with the ground terminal of the Electro Track. Next, push brushes in and slide collector into Electro Track. Depress the remaining brushes and slide collector trolley all the way in.
Bridge and collector should then be lined up and the tow bar that guides the collector down through the Electro Track can be attached to the bridge or trolley and surround the collector.
