NOTE: Power Supply Loads

Exceeding maximum load will cause the
power supply to shut down. Once the
excess load is removed, cycle the input
power to restart the power supply.

Specic load information for the supported
LED systems can be found in the “Power
Supply Specications” section on the next
page.

NOTE: For CSA approval, a disconnect/
toggle switch of appropriate rating needs
to be placed within 29 feet (8.84 meters)
of primary side of the power supply. The
minimum rating of the switch must be
either 120 or 220 Volts AC. The switch
must also support twice the amount of
input current.

NOTE: When installing power supply, connect to the appropriate sized building breaker or disconnect device for line and neutral
connections, in accordance with local, state or country regulations.

NOTE: The grounding and bonding of the power supply and overall sign shall be done in accordance with National Electric Code (NEC)
Article 600.
