POWER SUPPLY LOAD RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Clean the inside of the sign with surface cleaner

(e.g. ethanol) to make sure it is free of dirt.

Tools reguired. Wires, wire strippers, drill, screwdriver,

screws, surface cleaner, wire connectors and end caps.

2. Remove protective layer from the backside of the

bar and stick the bar into place.

4. Connect the bars by connecting female connector

with male connector.

3. For firm fixing, use screws to secure LED bars within

the lightbox. Depending on the mounting surface, set

proper torque to not damage bar mounting lungs. 5. Cap all unused wires. First - cut the connector off,

then –cap the wires).

7. Connect the white wire with red stripe (+) of the LED

bars to the positive wire (+) of the power supply. Connect

the white wire (-) to the negative wire (-) of power supply.

6. Choose a 24 VDC power supply*. Before connecting

wires to the power supply:

Option 1.

Connect female

connector with additional male connector.

Option 2.

Cut

the female connector off, then –connect extension

cable using connectors (if needed cable extension).

8. Finish by connecting AC power line to the input

wires of the power supply.

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•Installation of bars must carried out by a qualified technician in accordance to relevant electrical equipment handling standards.

•Before installing make sure that the fixing area can bear the total weight of the bars.

•Bars and power supplies have absolute maximum ratings. Comply with the specifications to avoid failure, damage and injury.

•Do not modify LED bar. This may lead to damage, injury and will void the warranty.

•Do not connect LED bars to a power supply that is turned on! Injury and bar failure may occur. If a power supply is turned on with no load (for

example because of a bad connection), turn the power supply off and allow 5 minutes for it to fully discharge before continuing work on the

installation.

•Avoid placing any high temperature objects around the bars. Also avoid putting cloth or paper on the bars. It may lead to combustion, burnout,

overheat, deformation or other failure.

•Before performing maintenance, turn off the power and allow the bars to cool down.Otherwise there is danger of burns or electric shock.

•Do not wipe or spray bars with volatile materials such as thinner or benzene as it may lead to damage or spontaneous combustion.

•If there are any signs of smoke or there is a smell of burnt plastic, turn off power to the installation immediately and investigate the power supply

and wiring carefully.

•Ensure that power supply and other system components are properly earthed if using Class 0 or Class I power supplies.

•Adhesive tape is for temporary mounting only! Additional adhesives or fasteners must be used for permanent installation.

•Be sure to install bars in maintainable places.

•Avoid using excessive force during installation in order to minimize the risk of damage to bars or cabling.

•Be careful not to go beyond the recommended maximum quantities of bars for a given power supply. Overload may cause blinking, uneven

illumination or failure.

•These bars are designed to work with constant-voltage power supplies. Use only recommended power supplies. Do not connect to constant-current

power supplies, as doing so will cause immediate failure of bars.

•Please install LED bars using appropriate appliance wiring material and cables.

•Make sure to provide sufficient ventilation and rainwater drainage for the installation containing the bars to prevent shortening their lifetime due to

excess heat, long-term exposure to water or ice damage. Operating temperature should be within -30~50 ºC.

•When fixing the cabling of the installation avoid using metal cable ties or brackets –they may damage the cable insulation and cause short-circuits.

•In order to prevent LED breakdown caused by static discharge make sure not to touch the wiring of the bars with bare hands.

•Make sure to check the bar connections for the correct polarity. Reversed connections may lead to failure.

•Do not pull on the wiring while removing the bars –risk of damage.

•Do not install bars under direct sunlight or falling water –premature failure may occur.

STORAGE AND GENERAL REMARKS

•Make sure to store bars in a dry place, avoid elevated temperatures, high pressures, vibrations, corrosive or combustible materials, direct sunlight.
