With power off, set the correct dip switch according to the Dip Switch Setting Chart (see below for detailed explanation).
NOTE:
For proper operation, verify that only one switch is set to the “ON” position.
Replace the dip switch cover and perform a quick test by turning the system on to ensure the channel letter LEDs are lit.
Dip Switch Settings
The following chart indicates the Tetra Strip load that can be placed on the Power Supply based on the character code on the LED and
the dip switch setting chosen. For example, when the Tetra Strip is marked with the character code HN3, the “3” on the dip switch can
be set to the ON position to achieve
neon-equivalent performance. At this
setting, the GECLPS3 power supply can
support up to 64 ft. (19.5m) of the 6 LED
per foot Tetra Strip. If you change the
dipswitch setting and flip #2 switch to
the ON position, the power supply can
support up to 80 ft. (24.4m) of Tetra
Strip. The footage guidelines vary based
on the type of Tetra Strip being used.
The charts below provide the footage
requirements for each Tetra Strip type.
CAUTION:
Avoid setting the dip switch
to the ON position with any setting
not listed in the chart unless stated
otherwise. Exceeding maximum load of
any 4 load banks will cause the power
supply shut down Once the exceeded
load is removed, cycle the input power
will restart the power supply.
Wire AC line to LED driver(s) in
accordance with the applicable
local, state, and country electrical
codes. Connect black to black
or brown, white to white or blue,
and green to green using 18 AWG
(0.82mm
2
) wire connectors.

Connect the red stripe wire (+)
of the LED control module to the
red wire (+) of the power supply.
Connect the white wire (-) of the
LED control module to the black or
blue wire (-) of the power supply.
Connect each LED control module
output lead pair to each Tetra LED
module supply lead pair using
UL certified wire connectors. Cap
each unused output lead with a UL
certified wire connector.
