Troubleshooting
NOTE: A licensed electrician should perform all applicable steps.
Entire FlexTAPE leg does not light after
complete installation.
Check connection from power supply lead to first section of FlexTAPE. Make sure polarity of connections made at power supply lead, any jumper
wire, and at first section are correct. All connections must be RED to (+) and BLACK to (-).
Still does not light.
Disconnect FlexTAPE from power supply. Check output voltage of power supply using a multimeter. The output voltage should be 12.0 VDC ±
0.5 VDC. If there is no output voltage, have a licensed electrician check input voltage. Make sure power supply is connected correctly and getting
primary power. If power supply is connected properly and getting primary power and there is still no output voltage, replace power supply.
Still does not light.
If power supply is getting primary power, has the correct output, and no sections light, there may be a short in the secondary wiring.
Check all connections and cap all loose wires.
The beginning of a leg lights, but entire leg
does not light or lights intermittently.
The primary cause of a portion of a FlexTAPE leg not lighting or lighting intermittently is a bad connection or reverse polarity connection between
sections that light and sections that don’t light. Check this connection. Inspect SloanLED FlexTAPE for damage. Ensure there are not cuts in assembly.
An entire power supply leg of
SloanLED FlexTAPE is dim.
Ensure maximum number of feet (meters) has not been exceeded (see above 12 VDC Power Supply Capacity Chart). Check secondary voltage.
If voltage is below 11.5 VDC, power supply leg may be overloaded.
One segment does not light, but all others
in the leg light.
FlexTAPE is designed so if one segment fails, it will not cause the entire leg to go out. If one segment does not light, but all others in the leg do,
replace the entire section with a new one.

NOTE:
Each 12 V circuit must be limited to 5 A (60 W) or less. For North American installations, a power supply that meets NEC Class 2 specifications is required.

. For board-to-wire connectors, insert wires into
opposite (longer) side of connector. Stranded
18-22 AWG wire may be used. DO NOT strip
wires. Ensure wire polarity is correct, (+) to (+)
and (-) to (-). Insert wires until fully seated and
press down on transparent cover until it fully
snaps into place.
5
. Seal all cut ends and connections with clear
electrical grade non-corrosive silicone. On cut
ends, use SloanLED FlexTAPE silicone end
caps for a reliable seal. Fill end cap with clear
silicone and slide onto ends of SloanLED
FlexTAPE. Wipe off excess silicone.
When using silicone end caps, use
SloanLED P/N 402566 for ends with wires
and 402566-NH for ends without wires.
