Installation Instructions
USING SOLDERED LEADS AND SILICONE CAPS
Tape light does not light up:
•
Make sure the DC power supply is turned on and receiving power.
•
Confirm you have maintained correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) when joining tape lights as well as when connecting
to the 24V DC power supply. If polarity is incorrect, reverse polarity at the power supply to correct the problem.
•
Check all light connections and any switch or dimmer connections from the power supply to the tape lights.
•
Consider testing with a multimeter to ensure tape light is receiving 24V DC power.
Only part of the tape light is lit:
•
Check connections to the part of the tape light that is not lit.
•
Confirm you have maintained correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) when joining tape lights as well as when connecting
to the 24V DC power supply.
Tape lights blink on, then go off:
•
Your power supply is not adequate for the length of tape lights you are powering. Install a higher wattage power
supply or reduce watts used by shortening the lengths of your tape lights.
LEDs farthest from the power supply are noticeably dimmer:
•
This is the result of voltage drop. Decrease the length of the 24V DC power feed wires or use thicker power feed
wires between the 24V DC power supply and the lighting tapes.
•
Use shorter lengths of tape lights.
A. Mount the aluminum mounting track or mounting clip to the
surface using the 1/4” countersunk screws. Be sure that they are
installed straight.
B. When installing the LED tape light into the mounting track or
mounting clip, install both ends of the tape light simultaneously.
If the tape light is longer than 6 ft., it is recommended that it is
installed by 2 people.
C. Press the tape light firmly into the mounting track or
mounting clip. Ensure that the notches of the track are
secured in the grooves in the side of the tape.
Disassembly:
Use a tool to gently pry the tape light from the
mounting track or clips. Avoid yanking directly
on the tape to prevent damage to the product.
A. Lead wires can be soldered to the connection points
on the tape light. Please note that the connection
points are on the back of the tape light (side without
diodes). Be sure to maintain the correct polarity.
B. Thread the lead wires through the open silicone cap.
Inject the silicone cap with silicone adhesive and
secure it over the soldered wires.
C. Apply silicone adhesive to the closed silicone cap and
secure it to the opposite end of the tape light.
(Sold Separately)
NOTE: When using mounting clips, 1 mounting clip is
recommended for every 1 ft. of tape light.
