Directions for use for LED strips 29
If you would like to use LED strips of the series Schlüter® LIPROTEC-ES in LIPROTEC
profiles in wet areas, proceed as follows during mounting:

Place the installation boxes behind the sealing plane or above the wet areas.

Position the LIPROTEC profiles in the wet area in a vertical manner so that no water
collects inside them and/or water that does collect can drain.

Always design the spreading discs to be about 2 mm shorter than the mounting profile.

Make sure that the gap that arises at the lower end of the profile is not closed off or
covered.

Penetrating water can drain immediately through this gap so that it cannot creep
into insulation and seals.

Make sure the cable leads are closed off in a watertight manner.
5.2 Mounting the LED strip
To mount an LED strip, proceed as follows:

Make sure that the foundation onto which the LED strips should be adhered is heat-
conductive and smooth.

Determine the required length of the LED strip.

Cut the LED strip only at the marked positions (see Fig. B). Use stable, sharp shears for
cutting.

Close off the end of the LED strip in a watertight manner. For this purpose, use an end
cap and the sealing glue. Press sufficient sealing glue into the end cap (see Fig. C,
Step 1).

Push the end cap over the end of the LED strip to the limit stop (see Fig. C, Step 2).

Make sure the end cap is connected with the LED strip in a gap-free manner.

Remove the excess sealing glue with a cloth.

Let the sealing glue dry for at least one hour before continuing to work with the LED
strip.

Make sure that the foundation for mounting the LED strip is clean and free of
substances with anti-adhesive properties.

Remove the protective foil from the adhesive strip on the rear of the LED strip (see Fig.
D).

Adhere the LED strip to the foundation with sufficient pressure. In the process, do not
undershoot a bending radius of 20 mm (see Fig. D, enlarged, detail drawing).
