INSTALLATION
Flex 120 strips are supplied in lengths ranging from 0.5m (1.64’) to 20m (65.6’) and are fully
sealed at manufacture. Custom lengths are also available to order.
IMPORTANT
• Flex 120 strips MUST NOT be cut after manufacture
- doing so will expose mains level
power rails and will void your warranty.
•
Flex 120 strips are rated at IP66 for wet and dry locations, however, they must not be
installed where water can accumulate.
MOUNTING
Flex 120 strips must be installed within specially designed aluminum channels in order to
provide protection as well as a neat finish.
Aluminum channels are supplied in two heights: Tall profile (20mm) and Low profile (12mm):
Each style of channel is available in three lengths: 0.5m, 1m and 2m. Each can be cut to
length as required.
All channels have pre-drilled mounting holes (3mm) located at 200mm centers and are
supplied with a matching number of screws (M3 x 15): 3, 5 or 10 as appropriate to the
chosen channel length.
Note: If you need to use alternative mounting screws, ensure that the screw heads do not rise
more than 2mm, otherwise they will not fit flush within the channel and will interfere with the Flex
120 strip when it is installed.
When installing in precise or tight spaces, ensure that sufficient clearances are left at either
end of the channels to accommodate the feed-in and termination moldings. At the feed-
in end you will also need to allow extra space for the cable access as well as the 70mm
molding:
