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 EB5, the “5” on the dip switch can be set to the ON position to
achieve neon-equivalent performance. At
this setting, the GECLPS5-2 power supply
can support up to 64 ft. (19m) of the 6
LED per foot Tetra Strip. If you change the
dipswitch setting and flip #4 switch to the
ON position, the power supply can support
up to 80 ft. (24m) of Tetra Strip. The footage
guidelines vary based on the type of Tetra
Strip being used. The charts below provide
the total footage requirements for each Tetra
Strip type. To determine the footage for each
power supply bank, divide the total footage
by four.
CAUTION:
Avoid setting the dip switch to the
ON position with any setting not listed in
the chart unless stated otherwise (i.e. Border
Tube Installation). If these requirements are
not followed, the Tetra Strip and Power
Supply warranty will be void.

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.
