Vista – Bluetooth on Flexi-tape
INSTALLATION
Mounting:
Choosing the mounting location: When choosing mounting location keep the following in mind.
Plan which end of the mounting location the power wires will best route from.
The first 95 mm of the strip (at the power wire end) contains the controller portion on a
rigid board. No light will emit from this section and this section cannot be bent.
The remainder of the strip can be bent forward or backwards, but must not be
bent tighter than its minimum bend radius of 19 mm. The strip can not be
kinked. The strip can not be bent across its width.
The Flexi-tape can be cut to length in increments of 100 mm but must be cut at the
indicated cut marks. Cutting can be done by metal cutting shears. Once cut an
insulative end cap (Part number 797021) must be added to the cut end to prevent
possible shorts that could damage the Flexi -tape. Only cut the Flexi-tape when
it is completely disconnected from its power source.
The Flexi-tape can be mounted using clips, or channel rail systems with adhesive backing. It
should not be mounted with staples or be mounted by screws or nails that proceed
through the Flexi-tape.
For clip mounting use part 580104B. Mount the clip first using 271600 screws or 050049
Acrylic HB tape backing. Then press the Flexi-tape into the clip.
For channel mounting use part 520005. Cut the channel to length and insert the Flexi-
tape into the channel. Mount the channel using 050049 Acrylic HB tape backing.
Then place 585003 end caps on both ends and mount using flat head screw
271600.
Wiring:
The Bluetooth on Flexi-tape is powered from a 12-volt DC source. For automotive and marine
applications, it can be connected to a 12-volt circuit that is protected by a 5-amp fuse.
For building applications, a 12-volt power supply must be used. See power supply
instructions for its mounting and connection to the building mains. The red wire
connects the supply positive and the black wire connects to the supply negative (or
ground) terminal.
