Planning 

For planning the layout, measure the perimeter of the building and divide by 8 ft. (2.44m) to determine the required quantity of Tetra  
Contour LS systems. See table  below for guidelines about cutting resolution.  
For seamless designs, accessories are available for straight runs and 90 degree corners. 
NOTE:  Do not use more than one suffix code for each respective application, as mixing suffix codes may result in appearance variation.  
Suffix code can be found on the packaging label. 

NOTE:  Tetra Contour LS is intended for straight runs.  

Insert wire connectors into weather 
box. Fill with electrical grade silicone 
and close box.  

NOTE: Examples of electrical grade 

silicone include

 

GE RTV 6700 Series 

Sealant, GE White Blanc RTV 162, Dow  
Corning 3145, Dow Corning RTV 748  

WARNING 

Risk of electrical shock. 

 Turn power OFF  

before inspection, installation or removal. 

CAUTION 

Risk of damage. 

 Must use electrical grade silicone. 

Secure the weather box using a         
#6 or #8 (M2 or M3) screw. 
NOTE:  When using twist - on  
connectors, weather box is required  
for all outdoor electrical connections.
