Peel off backing to expose adhesive tape.
Determine how many modules are required for
one row and cut wire.
Secure with at least one screw per module with
#6 or #8 (M3 or M4) screws or 1/8-inch rivets
(3.175 mm).
Mark row spacing guidelines so that modules are
spaced evenly inside and from edges of sign.
Connect modules using twist-on wire connectors
or in-line (IDC) connectors. Join white wires
together and red striped wires together.
NOTE:
Additional supply wire may be necessary
to bridge electrical connections.
Cap all exposed wires with appropriate end caps.
If sign depth is less than 6 inches (152 mm),
space rows 10 inches (254 mm) apart. If sign
depth is greater than or equal to 6 inches (152
mm), space rows 12 inches (305 mm) apart.
NOTE:
Minimum recommended sign depth is
5 inches (127 mm).
Position string of modules end to end along
guidelines inside of sign. Evenly space modules
by arranging approximately one module per
12 inches (305 mm).

Retrofit Preparation
Make sure the removal of lighting equipment does not compromise the integrity of the sign body (i.e. water intrusion). Fill in all
holes 0.5 in. (13mm) or smaller with the appropriate amount of rated caulk or sealant. For holes greater than 0.5 in. (13mm), use an
aluminum or zinc coated steel patch with rivets and sealant.
OPTIONAL - Assemble and Install Tubes
Arrange modules approximately 1 module per
12 inches (305 mm). Snap modules into half of
the Tetra PowerStrip Tube.

Measure and cut Tetra PowerStrip tube to the
appropriate length. Allow 1.75 inches (44 mm) for each
end cap. Leave a 0.25 inch (6 mm) gap between tube and
assembly end cap to allow for expansion or contraction.
Clean off any excess plastic debris.
