Installation Steps

1. Prepare the Outlet Box: Ensure the electrical outlet box is properly installed and secured to the ceiling or wall.
2. Attach Mounting Bracket: Secure the provided mounting bracket to the outlet box using appropriate screws (not included, typically supplied with the outlet box).
3. Connect Wiring: Feed the electrical wires from the outlet box through the center hole of the mounting bracket and into the connector body. Connect the supply wires to the corresponding wires on the T21 BL connector (typically black to black, white to white, and ground to ground). Use approved wire connectors.

6. Restore Power: Once all connections are secure and the track system is fully assembled, restore power at the circuit breaker.

Note: For optimal safety and performance, it is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified electrician.

Operating Instructions

The Lithonia Lighting T21 BL End Feed Connector is designed for continuous operation once properly installed. It serves as the power supply point for your track lighting system.

• Ensure all track heads or fixtures are correctly inserted and locked into the track system.
• Verify that the circuit breaker supplying power to the track is in the 'ON' position.
• If using a dimmer switch, ensure it is compatible with your track lighting fixtures and is functioning correctly.

Maintenance

The T21 BL connector requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-lasting performance.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior of the connector with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Annually inspect the connector and track system for any signs of damage, loose connections, or wear. If any issues are found, disconnect power and address them immediately.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the connector. This will void the warranty and may create a safety hazard.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your track lighting system, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power to Track:
  • Check if the circuit breaker is tripped. Reset if necessary.
  • Ensure all wire connections at the outlet box and within the connector are secure.
  • Verify that the connector is fully seated and making proper contact with the track.
• Intermittent Power:
  • Inspect for loose connections within the connector or where the connector meets the track.
  • Check for any damage to the track or connector that might be causing poor contact.
• Flickering Lights:
  • Ensure all track heads are properly installed and making good contact.
  • Verify that the total wattage of your fixtures does not exceed the track system's capacity or the circuit's rating.

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact a qualified electrician or Lithonia Lighting customer support.
