such as building columns.
2. As material is delivered develop an inventory. Use the packing list
enclosed in the hardware box to verify components received.
Group components by installation sequence.
3. Plot the layout on the floor, using white chalk or tape.
4. Check the levelness of the floor and locate the highest point.
Begin the installation at this high point.
5. Remove packaging and protective wrapping from components only
as they are assembled.
✔ It is recommended that the components be installed in the

PANEL CONNECTIONS
Corner Connections
Install the wedge block to the side of one corner panel that does not
have a foam light block or wedge block. Therefore, one corner panel will
have two wedge blocks, allowing the panels to be assembled onto the
blocks in both directions. Otherwise, the installed panels will have to be
lifted to rest on the block of the next panel. Make sure there is always a
strip of foam light block between each set of panels.

The panel top caps consist of an aluminum extrusion part and a plastic
extrusion part. These two parts are shipped assembled and should be
installed that way. The plastic extrusion fits into the top channel of the
panel. Do not try to force the top cap straight down. The plastic
extrusion has two legs, start with one leg inside the top channel at an
angle. Then rotate the other leg inside the channel, it should snap in
place locking the top cap.
PC09
After top caps are installed you will notice a black gap between the
panel and its top cap and between adjoining top caps. To give the panels a cleaner look all these gaps should be consistent with each other.
This requires either lifting the top caps up with a driver or tapping them
down. There is play in the tolerances of the top caps because of the
plastic connection method, therefore obtaining the black reveal consistency should not be difficult.

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Risk of fire or electric shock. Do not electrically connect any power
block to more than one supply source. Always determine that a power
block is connected to one and only one source of supply.
Hardwiring between any power entry harness and the building supply is
to be completed by a qualified electrician following all electrical codes.
Only those installers familiar with 8 wire/4 circuit power systems used in
office furnishings should perform installation of any electrical components.
Electrical wiring is only permitted between the panels, if those panels
are mechanically connected.
To properly install the electrical components, determine the location of
the power entries and which direction power will “run,” since each
power block has a “pigtail” which must be attached to the block
assembly of the adjacent panel.
The panel raceway covers have knockouts to access both the upper and
lower slots of the raceway for receptacles and data/communication.
When power receptacles are to be placed in the upper portion of the
raceway but no data receptacle in the lower portion, knock out only the
upper piece.
Refer to the electrical plan or plan view layout to determine proper
placement of the power block assemblies, harness jumpers, power
entries and receptacles.
Power Blocks for Raceways
Use power block widths that are the same as the widths for the panels
to which they are to be attached. Snap the heavy plastic clips on each
block assembly onto the brackets attached underneath the upper portion of the raceway. When block the assemblies are snapped into place,
there is an audible “click” that generally occurs. Insure that the “pigtail”of
the power block does not interfere with replacement of the raceway
covers.
MARVEL

N O T E S
N O T E S
Harness Jumpers for Raceways
Harness jumpers merely pass power through the raceway of a panel.
Use the harness jumper widths that are the same as the widths for the
panels to which they are to be attached.
Harness Jumpers with Power Block for Raceways
Attach harness jumpers with a power block in the same fashion as the
power blocks; these have only one block assembly.
Harness Jumpers with Power Block for Worksurface
Electrical Access Panels
Remove the single receptacle covers from the access cover at work level
height.
Leave any covers on where no receptacles are to be mounted.

MARVEL
A 48” Harness jumper with Power Block should be specified to carry
power from the raceway of the adjacent panel to the bracket 33” H in
the worksurface Electrical Access Panel. If using different power sources
for each of the block assemblies on the left and the right of the panel,
refer to the figure 1. If continuing power through the access panel and
into the raceway of the adjacent panel, refer to figure 2.

Power Entries
Base End Power Entry
No receptacles are displaced when using a base end power entry. Plug
the end of the “whip” assembly into either a power block or harness
jumper attached in a raceway.
A certified electrician must attach the other end of the base power
entry to the building power.
Power Pole – End of Run
Make sure a wedge block is attached to the end of the panel run. Attach

Lower post-to-panel connection is similar as the standard post-to-panel
