RETROFIT INSTALLATION GUIDE
Concorde Cabinet System
This guide is designed to aid in the installation of HanleyLED’s Concorde Cabinet System. Skilled trades people that are familiar with
general construction, electrical, and sign installation techniques should do the installation. Licensed electricians should provide all
installation and hook-up of both the primary and secondary input/outputs of the HanleyLED power supply. All installation and hookup should be done in accordance with all National and Local codes and permits. In no way is this document intended to construe
warranty or tness of use of the products described, nor is it intended to provide safety instruction for those installing the product.
THE FIELD INSTALLATION OF THIS RETROFIT SYSTEM INTO A SIGN IS SUBJECT TO THE
ACCECPANCE OF LOCAL INSPECTION AUTHORITY.
CAUTION: TURN OFF POWER TO THE SIGN BEFORE INSPECTING OR REMOVING EXISTING LIGHT
SOURCE. THE POWER MUST REMAIN OFF WHILE INSTALLING THE LED RETROFIT KIT.
Tools Required:
• Wire cutter & strippers
• Measuring tape
• Marking pens
• Drill
• Standard hardware and supplies in addition to the HanleyLED modules
installation guides (UL listing may be required on certain items)
Prepping the Channel Letter or Cabinet
Step 1
Remove existing neon or uorescent bulbs by having a licensed electrician disconnect and remove the neon transformers or
uorescent ballasts. Remove existing neon and standos or uorescent lamps. Leave uorescent sockets in cabinets with leads
disconnected. This should leave an empty channel letter or cabinet.
NOTE: ALL MATERIALS REMOVED MUST BE DISPOSED OF IN ACCORDANCE WITH
APPLICABLE LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS.
Step 2
Using a non- oil based cleaner, clean the back surfaces of the channel letter or cabinet where the LED modules will be mounted.
This is an important step for good adhesion of HanleyLED modules mounting tape.
Step 3
Installer should examine all parts that are not intended to be replaced by the retrot kit for damage and replace any damaged
parts prior to installation of the retrot kit. Do not make or alter any open holes in an enclosure of wiring or electrical
components during kit installation. Any existing holes in the letters or cabinet that will not be used in the installation of HanleyLED
modules should be patched to avoid water damage. Openings smaller than ½” diameter may be sealed with the appropriate
amount of rated caulk or sealant. Openings larger than ½” should be patched using an aluminum or zinc coated steel patch with
rivets and sealant.
Step 4
Proceed with the appropriate HanleyLED module installation guide for your specic product.

Retrot Installation For Use With Existing Fluorescent Box Signs
1. Remove Existing Fluorescent Tubes 2. Connect all light bar pieces, if necessary.
• Make sure power is o. Have a licensed electrician disconnect and remove all ballasts.
• Remove existing uorescent tubes, leaving uorescent lamp holders in place.
• Installers should disconnect lamp holder leads and make new connections from the LED driver directly to the LED
lamps. Lamp holders are to be used only for the purpose of holding the LED lamps in place.
• (Existing Signs Only) 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.
• (Existing Signs Only) Make sure the removal of lighting equipment does not compromise the integrity of the sign body
(i.e. water intrusion). Fill in all holes 0.5 in. (13 mm) or smaller with the appropriate amount of rated caulk or sealant.
For holes greater than 0.5 in. (13 mm), use an aluminum or zinc coated steel patch with rivets and sealant.
Install Retrot Connectors on each side of light bar.
