• Extrusions are shipped to exact length of specified measurements.
• Due to cut increment restrictions (4”,+/- 0.125” Tolerance), the lightstrip is shipped to
the closest measurement ordered. The lightstrip must be centered in the extrusion.
• Remove adhesive backing completely to allow heat transfer tape to make
contact with the aluminum extrusion.
• Improper field cutting or soldering of lightstrip will void warranty. The below
steps must be followed and performed properly to retain warranty. Field cutting
& soldering is only applicable to Dry, Damp, and Wet Locations. IP67 rated
products are not field cuttable.
NOTE
• Follow the below diagrams and steps if applicable to your installation.
• LED lightstrip and modules require a team effort to ensure a secure and correct
installation.
• Use a wire puller stand to prevent tangles, twists, and snags.
• For Mud-In applications, start lightstrip from power source side and allow up to
2” of excess lightstrip to exit through end cap.

SOLDERING GUIDE
1
Cut lightstrip to desired length. Include both sets of solder pads by
cutting to the left or right of designated markings, allowing more
space for soldering.
2
Prepare wires by stripping 1/8” from the end of each wire, then tin
the tips of the wire with solder. Apply heat to stripped portion of
wire, then add a small amount of solder until stripped portion of
wire is fully covered in solder.
3
If applicable, use a mat knife to remove encapsulation from
the section of lightstrip with solder pads. If lightstrip is not
encapsulated, skip this step.
5If applicable, apply silicone over soldered connections. All
connections must be completely covered with silicone to create
weatherproof seal. Only use outdoor rated silicone. If lightstrip is
not encapsulated, skip this step.
Note:
Appearance of lightstrip may differ from example shown.
Refer to wiring diagrams before soldering any wires.
4Solder lead wires to solder pads on the end of lightstrip.
• Solder the Black wire to the pad marked “+24V”.
• Solder the Green wire to the pad marked “G”.
• Solder the Red wire to the pad marked “R”.
• Solder the Blue wire to the pad marked “B”.
• Solder the White wire to the pad marked “W”.
Note: Solder iron not to exceed 720°F. Heat joint with tip of iron.
Heat both the solder pad and the wire. Add a small drop of solder
on the tip of solder iron to transfer the heat to joint quickly; it
should melt and flow smoothly, covering the wire and pad.
Remove iron once enough solder has been added to the
components. Allow 5 seconds for the joint to cool.

1Measure area where luminaire will be installed. Use a laser line to
create a reference line along installation area, ensuring consistent
alignment of mounting channels. Mark location where each
channel will be installed along reference line.
4After all mounting channels have been securely installed, install
tubes into channels, overlapping where two channels meet.
Overlapping tubes help keep channels aligned.
2
Lay mounting channels along reference line and drill at least 3
countersink holes per channel. Drill additional holes as needed.
3
Screw mounting channels to surface using countersink screws.
Note: Ensure channels are aligned.
5Ensure tubes are secured in place.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
• Do not reset the breaker multiple times.
• If the unit is overloaded, the breaker will trip, shutting off the driver
and lighting.
• If the breaker reset button has been held down by hand or any type of
pressure, such as duct tape, or if the breaker has been reset multiple
times without troubleshooting, the unit will:
- Burn the driver bobbin.
- Burn the thermal or magnetic breaker.
- Burn the driver lead wires due to high amperage caused by overload.
- Short circuit in line which will not allow the breaker to reset.
- Damage the lighting.
FOREIGN OBJECT METAL FLAKES
1
Turn off power before beginning. Verify power is off by using a non-
contact circuit tester (by others).
2
Check lightstrip for damage, such as cuts, punctures, twisting, or
crushing. If there is excessive damage to the lightstrip, the lightstrip
must be replaced.
3
Check the run for any particles that may cause a short. Check the
end cap, power connector, and lightstrip for any metal flakes or
shavings. Clear the run of any shavings or particles if present, then
perform a continuity test to confirm the short has been eliminated.
4
Check lightstrip cuts to ensure they are clean. Frayed, split, or
sloppily cut lightstrip can cause the positive and negative contacts
to touch, causing a short.
5
Check connections in the line. Ensure all splice connections are
secure and properly sealed with shrink tube and silicone for
outdoor applications. Ensure that wiring is not bent past the
permitted wiring bend radius (1.5”).
6
Check the run for any water inside end cap, power connector, and
lightstrip. If water or condensation is has caused damage, the
lightstrip must be replaced.

CONTINUITY TEST
A continuity test is performed to determine if electricity can pass
through two points on an electrical circuit. This helps identify shorts or
malfunctions in the line or luminaire. Use a multimeter or continuity
tester to perform the steps below.
• Always perform a continuity test before connecting to power source.
• Malfunctions are not always as obvious as the lights not turning on.
• A short or malfunction in the line or luminaire will cause damage over
time, irreparably damaging the lighting and voiding warranty.

1
Turn off power before beginning. Verify power is off by using a non-
contact circuit tester (by others). Touch the probe of the tester to
the positive wire of the power source. The tester will light up if an
electrical current is detected.
2
Setup your multimeter tester (by others). First, insert the black
probe lead into the COM jack, then insert the red probe lead into
the VΩjack.
3
Verify multimeter is functional by touching probes together.
The multimeter should beep, flash, or read 0Ω(ohms) of resistance.
4
Touch the red probe to the black wire and the black probe to each
colored wire. If a conductive path is formed between the black wire
and any other wire, the multimeter will beep, flash, or read 0Ω
(ohms). Troubleshoot to identify the malfunction in the line. If there
is no conductive path, the multimeter will not show any feedback.
5Touch the red probe to the fixture extrusion and the black probe to
the black wire. If a conductive path is formed between the extrusion
and the black wire, the multimeter will beep, flash, or read 0Ω
(ohms). Troubleshoot to identify the malfunction in the line. If there
is no conductive path, the multimeter will not show any feedback.
6
Touch the red probe to the fixture extrusion and the black probe to
the each colored wire. If a conductive path is formed between the
extrusion and any colored wire, the multimeter will beep, flash, or
read 0Ω(ohms). Troubleshoot to identify the malfunction in the
line. If there is no conductive path, the multimeter will not show
any feedback.
7Set multimeter to DC voltage and test power source. Confirm the
correct voltage before connecting luminaire to power source. If the
voltage reading is more than 1 volt greater than the marked output
voltage, there is a problem with the power source or driver.
8Connect luminaire to power source via power connector. If LEDs
do not turn on, there is an issue with the wiring. Troubleshoot to
identify the problem.
