Chain X2 LED Lighting System
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.
Note: For sign retrofits, Chain X2 modules and associated 12V power supplies must only be installed in UL Listed Signs.

wire of the 12V power supply.
Connect the black striped (-) input wire of the modules to the blk (-) output wire of the 12V
power supply.
3.2 Cap off any unused connection wires when finished.

3.3 Power Supply Information:
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.
