ADHESIVE APPLICATION

• THE TAPE WILL NOT ADHERE TO TEXTURED OR
LOW SURFACE ENERGY MATERIALS

• THE BEST SURFACE FOR LONG LASTING ADHESION IS
CLEAN RAW METAL

• CLEAN SUBSTRATE WITH ALCOHOL AND A CLEAN CLOTH

• PEEL OFF PROTECTIVE BACKING TO REVEAL ADHESIVE

• APPLY PRESSURE WHEN ADHESIVE FIXING TO SUBSTRATE

THERMAL MANAGEMENT

• THESE TAPES PRODUCE HEAT, THERMAL MANAGEMENT MUST BE
CONSIDERED.

• THE MORE LEDS PER METRE THE MORE HEAT.

• ENTTEC RECOMMENDS USING AN ALUMINIUM PROFILE TO MANAGE
HEAT.

• EACH APPLICATION IS DIFFERENT, ENTTEC RECOMMENDS TESTING
A SECTION OF TAPE IN ITS FINISHED ENVIRONMENT TO ENSURE
THE THERMAL MANAGEMENT IS SATISFACTORY.

WIRING SCHEMATIC

• SELECT THE MOST SUITABLE OPTION FROM BELOW. SOLDER OR CRIMP IS RECOMMENDED TO COMBINE MULTIPLE WIRES.
