• Check wi
re connection(s) at the Tetra Contour LS section and power supply for improper
termination(s) or short circuits. Properly terminate or replace the wire connection(s).
• Check that connections a
re the white wire with red stripe (+) of the LED strip to the red wire (+) of the
power supply and the white wire (-) of the LED strip to the black wire (-) of the power supply.
Some LEDs appear dim
• Ensu
re the overall length of the Tetra Contour LS does not exceed the maximum load.
•
Ensure the length of supply wire from the power supply is equal to or below the recommended remote
mounting distance.
• Ma
ke sure that all LED light engines have the same suffix code (suffix code is located on the
box label).
Some of the sections
are not illuminated
• Check wi
re connection(s) at the Tetra Contour LS section and power supply for improper

• Check that connections a
re the white wire with red stripe (+) of the LED strip to the red wire (+) of the
power supply and the white wire (-) of the LED strip to the black wire (-) of the power supply.
