Preparation

If installing a new power supply: Prior to installation, survey the site for information regarding power and accessibility
inside and outside the building. Ensure that the branch circuit supplying the existing LED power supply will be within
the voltage ratings of the new LED power supply, and have a current rating not exceeding 20A, or that permitted by
applicable local, state, or country electrical codes (whichever is less).

If removal of the existing lighting equipment eliminates the disconnect switch, as required by applicable local, state, or
country electrical codes; a new disconnect switch must be installed. If required, the disconnect switch shall be installed

by qualied personnel, in accordance with applicable local, state, and country electrical codes.

Repair and seal any unused openings in the electrical enclosure. Openings greater than 12.7-mm (1/2-in) diameter

require a metal patch secured by screws or rivets and caulked with non-hardening caulk. Smaller openings may be
sealed with non-hardening caulk.

Using the layout guidelines within the LED module installation instructions, determine required number of LED modules
required to illuminate the sign.

The 24/24 Module must be supplied by an output of a Tetra® 24VDC Class 2 Power Supply as listed below. Using the
Maximum Loading chart below, determine the number of Tetra® Class 2 Power Supplies required to power the number of
LED modules required to illuminate the sign, so as not to overload the Tetra® Class 2 Power Supply chosen.
