Cutting Tape

LED tape is unique in the fact that it is the only 

lighting ‘fixture’ that you can cut to length with 

only a pair of scissors.  We made it easy for you to 

do that!  Find the cut mark closest to your desired 

length and cut cleanly, across the marks.

Peel back adhesive 1/2” to expose back of tape.  

You are now ready for attaching a connector 

Fig. 2.  

If you’re at the end of your run, you’re done. 

Attaching Connector

Using Sure-Tite Connector (ST or EST Series)

Loosen screws at end of connector.  Slide tape in 

firmly, pushing it all the way until it stops.  Make 

sure that tape is seated firmly, creating a tight bond 

with the connector.  Snug-tight screws, 

do not 

overtighten.

Attaching Power to Tape 

Connector 

Use same procedure for connecting Sure-Tite 

connector.  The other end of connector is wired into 

your LineDRIVE power supply.  Please consult 

power supply instructions for a step by step for 

this easy procedure.  

Make sure that you you are 

connected to the same polarity.

Warning

Make sure that tape is pressed firmly into 

connector, insuring that tape contacts are firmly 

seated into connector.  Improper or loose seating 

can cause tape to short out or not perform properly.

Test tape installation by powering up before 

permanently mounting.  If tape does not 

perform satisfactorily, check our FAQ / Trou-

bleshooting tips on page 7.
