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 and Brackets

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 non­hardening 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

2.2 Measure inside cabinet dimensions

2.1 Refer to desired module layout

2.3 Required track lengths

2.4 Cut the two “b” track segments to

length – be certain the dimension “d” on

both track pieces is the same to ensure

the tracks are parallel in the case

2.5 Attach the two “b” track segments to

the sides of the case

2.6 Examples of module spacing

2.7a Insert BoxLED Plus DS modules into

the required number of “a” track pieces –

referring to step 2.6 for layout options

2.7b Insert one end of the module into

the track and push down on the opposite

end until it clicks into place

2.8 Loop any excess wire around the

track in-between the modules and tie

wrap it into place

2.9 Slide the Left and Right mounting

brackets onto the corresponding ends of

each of the “a” track segments

2.10 Slide the assembly into the desired

mounting holes in the “b” track segments

and push down on the left and right

brackets so they click into place

3.0 ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS

3.0 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).

3.1 Cap off any unused connection wires when finished.

3.2 Make sure AC line is OFF before beginning power supply installation. Secure power
supply to clean metal surface using screws (see Figure 12).

Figure 11 Figure 12

3.3 OPTIONAL AC DISCONNECT SWITCH INSTALLATION: Connect disconnect switch in
line with VAC line (black wire) (see Figure 13).

3.4 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.
