Do not fold or break the LED
strips.
Do not cover the LED strips with
any material during operation.
3. Installation Site Requirements
Attention
The LED strips are suitable for installation only in dry
locations. Not suitable for outdoor installation.
Do not install the LED strips:
in wet locations
at a place where the LED chips are exposed to direct sunlight
near heat-generating devices.
Do not install the LED strips in environments with highly volatile
substances, such as sulfur, chlorine, bromine and VOC. This will
reduce the life of the LED chips.
Make sure that the LED strips are installed at a place with:
ambient temperature between -20 °C and 50 °C
sufcient airow.
Make sure that the mounting surface is clean and smooth, and
free of grease or silicone oil.
Make sure that the mounting surface is thermally conductive and
provides good heat dissipation.
If the LED strips are mounted on a metallic surface, make sure that
the soldering points are insulated. If the soldering points are not
insulated, short-circuit may occur.

Do not bend the LED strip on the
horizontal plane. Do not twist the LED strip.
3. Handling
Do not connect the LED strip to
electrical power supply when
the LED strip is on the reel or
when it is tightly coiled. This will
damage the LEDs.
Do not put excessive pressure
on the LED chips.
You can bend the LED strip only
along the vertical axis. The mini-
mum bending radius is 20 mm.
Do not bend the LED strip with
the LEDs on the inside.
Do not fold or break the LED
strips.
Do not cover the LED strips with
any material during operation.

Cut the LED strip only at the marked cut line in the center of the
solder pads. Make sure that the cut is made at 90°. The cutting
tolerance is ±0.65 mm.
Do not cut the LED strip at any other place. This will damage the
internal circuit and the LEDs will not work.
< 3 s
< 350 °C
Do not solder for a period longer than 3 seconds. Make sure that
the soldering temperature is lower than 350 °C.
Make sure that the polarity is correct when connecting multiple
LED strips.
Fold the LED strip at the marked cut line to mount the LED strip at a
corner. Do not fold the LED strip more than once!
1 time only!
You can also solder wires between 2 LED strips at a corner.
5. Installation
WARNING
Incorrect installation can cause serious injuries and
damage of property.
The installation of this product shall be carried out only by qualied
persons.
Disconnect the power supply in the area where the product will
be installed.
Use a compatible constant voltage driver to connect the LED strip
to the mains.
To connect the LED strip to the controller/driver or to other LED
strips use wires with sufcient cross-sectional area and current-
carrying capacity.
1Determine the location of all components.
3Connect the LED strips if multiple LED strips are used.
4Remove the protective tape from the LED strip. Be careful
not to cause damage to the electronic components.
5Attach the LED strip to the mounting surface or to the
aluminum prole.
6Connect the LED strip to the controller/driver. Make sure
that the polarity is correct.

6. Troubleshooting
Change in brightness
or color temperature
of the LEDs
Make sure that the run is not too long.
Voltage drop can cause the LEDs’
brightness to decrease.
Some LEDs do not
work
Make sure that all connections are
correct. Make sure that the LED strip is not
sharply bent. This can cause components
to detach from the circuit board.
The LEDs are ickering Make sure that the driver/power supply is
compatible.
Make sure that all connections are cor-
rect.
7. Maintenance
This product is maintenance-free.
Use dry compressed air to clean the LED strip if necessary.
Do not use alcohol, solvents, detergents and/or water. This will
damage the LED strip.
Attention
Do not use detergent and/or water to clean this product.
8. Disposal
Dispose of this product by handing it to the respective
collection point for recycling of electrical and electronic
equipment. Do not dispose of with the household waste.
