FLEX DUAL CHANNEL (FLK DUL)
The smart anodized aluminum Flex Dual Channel allows you to mount up to four parallel runs
of Ai Flex tape and direct their output in opposing directions (usually up and down). Opal
polycarbonate lenses help to homogenize the output. For channel dimensions, see page 32.
Options
TO FIT THE AI FLEX TAPE(S)
1 If necessary, cut the channel to the length required. Ensure that any resulting burrs are
removed. Note: The Flex Dual end caps do not encroach upon the tape areas, so you can fit the
tapes edge to edge, if required. However, make suitable allowances for your supply connections
to the tape; also a hole will need to be drilled through each tape mounting surface to the
central void to allow access for the supply cabling.
2 Ensure the tape mounting surfaces on the upper and lower surfaces of the channel are
completely dry, clean and free of grease. If cleaning is required, please see page 4 for
details.
3 Determine the length of tapes required. Mark the positions
at each end of the channel where the tapes will be
placed. Up to four Ai Flex tapes can be mounted
in parallel on the upper and lower
surfaces.
Notes:
Depending on the length of the Flex Dual
channel and the number of Ai Flex tape
runs, ensure that the maximum (serial)
run of any one circuit does not exceed the
maximum of 16.4’ (5m).
Ai Flex tape can only be cut every 6.5”
(166mm), which may constrain the precise
lengths of tape that can be achieved. Therefore it may
be beneficial to center the tape within the channel to achieve
an even distribution. If solder connections are being made,
you will find it easier to solder the connections before fitting the
tape onto the Flex swivel channel (due to heat dissipation).
4 Cut the tapes to their nearest marked cutpoints.
5 Begin peeling the backing from the Ai Flex tape and carefully stick it into the channel,
starting at the marked position.
IMPORTANT: While pressing the Ai Flex tape into position, take care not to put
excessive pressure on the components or connections.
