INSTALLATION GUIDE
WARNING: ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL SHOULD PERFORM INSTALLATION
TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR COMPONENT DAMAGE, DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING
INSTALLATION OF THE POWER SUPPLIES, MODULES, AND/OR RGB CONTROLLERS.
Failure to install the power supplies and/or LED modules in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC), all applicable
Federal, State, and local electric codes as well as the specific Underwriters Laboratories (UL) safety standards for the
installation, location and application may cause serious personal injury, death, property damage and/or product malfunction.
These instructions are guidelines for installation of LED modules and power supplies. Installation requirements may vary
depending on the application. Licensed electricians should provide all installation services for connection for both primary
and secondary (input/output) of the power supplies.
1.0 Prepare for Installation
1.1 Tools Required:
- Wire stripper/cutter
- Screwdriver
- Measuring tape
1.2 Supplies Required:
- PLTC Cable
- Wire nuts
- #8 hex/pan head type screws or rivets
1.3 Carefully remove existing neon or fluorescent tubes, HID or incandescent light sources
and power supplies and/or ballasts if necessary.
1.3.1 Make sure power is turned off.
1.3.2 Remove all existing screws, sockets and wiring.
1.3.3 Dispose of all old sign components in the proper manner.
1.3.4 Clean the inside of the sign ensuring it is free of dirt.

2.0 Mechanical Installation
2.1 Measure the appropriate amount of product for the length of the application and cut.
Cuts can be made between any two modules.
2.2 Peel plastic tape backing to expose double sided tape and place modules in desired
location.
2.3 Secure the modules through the mounting hole using screws or rivets.
Do not overtighten.
3.0 Electrical Installation
3.1 Use wire nuts to connect the red striped (+) input wire of the modules to the

4.0 Troubleshooting Guide
Entire sign does not light
Check AC connection to power supply.
Entire sign/one or more LED
runs do not light
Check power supply connection to modules.
Check DC polarity- power supply red output wires must be
connected to red striped module wires, power supply blue
output wires must be connected to gray striped module wires.
Verify power supply output voltage is 12V +/- 1.0V
Part of an LED run does not
light
Check module to module connection for correct polarity.
One module does not light
Replace the module. Observe correct polarity.
