NOTE: 

Grounding and bonding must  

be done in accordance with National  
Electrical Code (Article 600). See  
power supply instructions. 

Attach Tetra Contour to the mounting  
clips, leaving a 3/8 in. (10mm) gap  
between sections to allow for expansion
or contraction. Secure light guide by  
twisting tie-wire around the mounting  
clip and light guide. 

At any open end, apply electrical  
grade silicone and press fit a  
GExxLGEC15 light guide end cap to  
the Tetra Contour. 

Electrical grade silicone 

At each gap between Tetra Contour  
sections, snap on a GExxLGC15 light  
guide connector. 

3/8in. (10mm)  

Use twist-on wire connectors to join  
wires together. Fold wires behind  
light engines. 

Separate wires and identify outer
conductors as positive (+) and   
middle conductors as negative (–).  
Strip ends back 0.5 in. (13mm).
