Attaching Light Engines
1
Push each 16 in. (406mm) light engine
segment into the clips. Fold loose
wires behind light engines.
2
Install a mounting clip, using #6 (M2)
counter sink screws, every 5–8 inches
(127–203mm) on center until the end
of the run is reached.
5-8 in. (127-203mm)
Electrical grade silicone
3 1
Push the light engine segments down
into the light guide.
Install a minimum of one clip per 18 in.
(457mm) using #10 (M4) screws.
NOTE: Standard neon hardware can
also be used.
Plan the layout by measuring the design layout and dividing by 8 ft. (2.44m) to
determine the required quantity of Tetra Contour. Refer to the Cutting Resolution Chart
at right when cutting any Tetra Contour section.
NOTE: Do not use more than one suffix code for each respective application, as mixing
suffix codes may result in appearance variation. Suffix code can be found on the
packaging label.
METHOD A - without light guides
If required, cut wire loops between
sections or through light engine in the
appropriate area (refer to the Cutting
Resolution table above).
3
Use twist-on wire connectors to join
cut wires together. Fold wires behind
light engines.

CAUTION: Anytime light engine or
supply wire is cut and wire is exposed,
electrical grade silicone must be
applied (see list on the next page for
recommendations).
METHOD B - with light guides
2
Push into clips
If required, cut wire loops between
sections or through light engine (refer
to the Cutting Resolution table above).
NOTE: Installation methods shown are for straight runs. For custom shapes, refer to the Light Guide Forming Instructions.

NOTE: Installation methods shown are for straight runs. For custom shapes, install
mounting clips at regular intervals throughout the shape to provide adequate
support for the light engine.
NOTE: DO NOT bend the light engine to an inside radius that is tighter than 5/8 in.
(16mm). The light engine is not intended for excessive or repetitive bending.
