AC ISOLATION KITS (#AC-ISO-KIT) GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A.C. and low voltage wiring must be isolated from each other in Stage Pockets installed in Back Boxes (#BBX, #DDBBX, #SO, #ISO, #BBXW, #DDBBXW, #SOW) which include both low voltage terminations and A.C. electric connections. Pockets which will include both low voltage panels (#PNL-100, #PNL-120, and #PNL-140 Series) and A.C. electric panels (#PE, #FP2E, and #FP3E Series) are required to utilize the AC Isolation Kits. This Kit provides the UL Listed conduit parts for isolated routing of the A.C. wires inside ACE Back Boxes, and is suitable for use in Full and Double Wide Back Stage Pockets and Full and Double Wide Back Boxes. A.C. wiring and terminations should only be completed by a qualified electrician.
1/2” CONDUIT A.C. ELECTRIC ISOLATION KIT INCLUDES:
• (1) #RACO 6712 18” Non-Metallic Extra-Flex Conduit
• (1) #RACO 4732 90º Swivel Connector
• (1) #RACO 4742 Straight Connector
• (1) #GRC COUPLING Coupling, Female-to-Female

CONNECTORS |
|
|
 |
| CONNECTRIX |
Stock "CONNECTRIX" CONNECTORS utilize Neutrik® “D” mounting hole pattern for greater flexibility.
Stock “CONNECTRIX” System Connectors may be used in any stock “CONNECTRIX” System Panel(s). Utilizing the popular mounting pattern of Neutrik® “D” Series connectors with a generous rectangular cutout produces a growing array of adapter-mounted “CONNECTRIX” connectors. The adapter mount is plastic and provides ground isolation between the panel and connector. The current selection of stock “CONNECTRIX” system connectors is constantly changing, so please check out our current product information.
When ordering, please specify connector model number and type of connector as well as panel model number (#MP-100, #PNL-100, #PNL-120, or #PNL-140 Series Panels) the connectors will be loaded into. Connectors are loaded into panels using black, aluminum pop rivets. You may also choose to have your connectors loaded with removable machine screws and locking nuts, for a nominal fee. *NOTE: Specific High Density (HD) and Sub-D pattern connectors will require either 2 or 3 “CONNECTRIX” Horizontal Spaces or 2 or 3 “CONNECTRIX” Vertical Spaces, depending on connectors selected.

“CONNECTRIX” SYSTEM PANEL DESCRIPTION
Many pre-cut stock #PNL-100 Series “Connectrix” System connector panels and #PSW-100 Series Switchcraft® connector panels are available for the Half Stage Pocket. Standard "Connectrix" and Switchcraft® Panels are created from high strength, tough, aircraft aluminum alloy (6061-T6) that is 1/16" (.062") or 1/8" (.125") thick. The standard panels mount with (4 or 6) self-tapping screws. Each panel is CNC machined to precisely mate with the designated connectors and in the pocket mounting holes. Each Standard "Connectrix" and Switchcraft® Panel is finished with oven cured semi-gloss black powder coat.
Most panels provide header space for custom engraving which is fast and easily accomplished on a separate dedicated CNC engraving machine. The finished panels show bright aluminum in the engraved characters and need not be back filled. ACE standard panels are flat, strong, and rigid like the typical thinner mild steel panels. Because the panels are machined and not punched they stay flat and undistorted unlike punched panels which distort in the punching process. The machined “Connectrix” style cutouts combine popular mounting patterns of the Neutrik “D” series and Switchcraft “E” series connectors with a generous rectangular cutout that mates with a growing array of adapter-mounted standard connectors. The adapter mount is plastic and provides ground isolation between the panel and connector.
Using the “Connectrix” system panel it is possible to mount any combination of modular jacks (RJ45, RJ11 etc.), BNCs, dual RCAs, mic jacks, speaker jacks and numerous other standard connectors without a single custom punch. This system provides for more connectors and mounting options in stock standard ACE panels. The benefit is faster order turn around and lower cost. Less custom fabrication for custom spec results with off-the-shelf stock prices.

INSTALLATION |

GENERAL INSTALLATION OF AC ISOLATION KITS (#AC-ISO KIT)
The A.C. Isolation Kit (#AC-ISO KIT) is designed exclusively for use in Full and Double Wide Stage Pockets and Full and Double Wide Back Box combinations. First set the Back Box securely braced into the floor to provide support equal to the floor loading requirements, accounting for any height offset required for the finished floor. Second, standard electrical conduit may be connected to the back box on two sides via combination knock-outs using the female-to-female coupling (#GRC COUPLING). Third, connect the 18" non-metallic extra-flex conduit (#RACO 6712) inside the Back Box to the standard electric conduit coming in. At this point the extra-flex conduit may be cut to length to match the distance necessary for attaching the extra-flex conduit to the #PE Panel Single Gang Switch Box assembly (not included) which will be attached to the Stage Pocket Body. Fourth, attach the 90º swivel connector (#RACO 4732) to the opposite end of the extra-flex conduit. Fifth, attach the straight connector (#RACO 4742) to the 90º swivel connector and position to align and connect with the #PE Panel Switch Box assembly. Once the straight connector has been connected to the #PE Panel Switch Box assembly the panel may mounted to the Stage Pocket Body.
