Measure and cut Tetra LED
strip to the appropriate length
for each letter. Cuts can be
made between any of the
modules.
Use rivets, screws, or
electrical grade RTV silicone
to secure at least every
fifth LED module within the
channel letter. Use #6 (M3)
pan headed metal screws,
1/8-inch (3.2 mm) rivets, or
electrical grade RTV silicone.
Drill a 1/4-inch (6.4 mm)
hole near the LED strip and
grommet the hole for supply
wire access.
Remove all the debris from
the inside of the channel
letter and replace the sign
face.
NOTE: For halo-lit applications LED modules should be mounted on
UL recognized clear acrylic or polycarbonate. The light output from
the LED system should be directed back into the sign enclosure. This
will allow for uniform backlighting of the sign and will provide simple
mounting.
Before you begin, clean
surfaces and remove all debris
from the inside of the channel
letter.Clean the surfaces with
a 50:50 mixture of isopropyl
alcohol (IPA) and water and let
dry.

When using tape apply
approximately 15 psi pressure

hours. Continue until you have
reached the end of the strip.
