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/connectors
- #8 screws or rivets
- Accessory Mounting Track
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.
a. Where applicable, determine if a disconnect switch needs to be
installed (may be integral with existing power supply/transformer).
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 Repair and seal any unused openings in the sign enclosure. Openings
greater than ½” 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.
1.3.5 Clean the inside of the sign to make sure it is free of dirt.

2.0 MECHANICAL INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 Measure the inside of the frame to determine the length of the mounting tracks (see
Figure 1).
2.2 Cut the mouting tracks to the desired length (see Figure 2).
Figure 1 Figure 2
2.3 Install mounting tracks along the sign’s upper and lower walls (see Figure 3 & 4).
Figure 3 Figure 4
2.4 Install the vertical mounting tracks at the desired spacing (see Figure 5, 6, & 7)
Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 7

2.5 Clean the mounting traks to ensure optimum adhesion of the LED modules.
2.6 Remove the protective film from the tape on the back of the LED modules (see
Figure 8).
2.7 Snap the LED modules into the vertically mounted tracks (see Figure 9).
2.8 Tie wrap any excess wire length to inside of track to prevent shadowing (see
Figure 10).
Figure 8 Figure 9 Figure 10
3.0 ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 Use wire nuts or connectors to connect the white and red (+) input wire of the modules to
the red (+) output wires of the 24V power supply. Connect the black and white (-) input
wire of the modules to the blue (-) output wire of the 24V power supply (see Figure 11).
3.2 Cap off any unused connection wires when finished.
3.3 Make sure AC line is OFF before beginning power supply installation. Secure power
supply to clean metal surface using screws (see Figure 12).

3.5 Finish power supply AC connection by connecting black VAC line to black input cord of
power supply, and white neutral to white input cord of power supply. Connect green
ground wire from line to the same metal surface the power supply is mounted on (see
Figure 14).

Problem
Possible Cause
Corrective Action
Entire sign does
not light
No input power
Check AC connection to power supply.
Entire sign/one or
more LED runs do
not light
No power to LED
modules
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 black striped module wires.
Verify power supply output voltage is 24V.
Part of an LED run
does not light
No power to that
run
Check module to module connection for correct polarity.
One module does
not light
Module has been
damaged
Replace the module. Observe correct polarity.
