distance greater than 10’(3m) is required.
1.0 IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
2.0 SYSTEM CONTENTS
Please read instructions prior to installation
Installation must be completed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all national and local electrical and construction codes.
Ensure power is o prior to installation.
TILE products are dry location rated only.
Mounting surface must be non-conductive (eg. drywall, phywood, etc)
TILE products must be powered by a Cooledge approved constant voltage Class 2 or LPS LED Driver.
Using a non-approved power source could damage the system and will void the warranty.
DO NOT DISCARD the contents of the Installation Kit. All components will be needed to perform the installation.

4.0 CARE AND HANDLING GUIDELINES
3.0 INTRODUCTION TO TILE INTERIOR/TUNABLE WHITE
Output end
snap connectors
Cut lines
Marked regions for
mounting with staples
Holes for mounting screws
LEDs
TILE Interior/Tunable White provides a flexible means of illuminating large areas. TILEs can be connected in series using snap
connectors and can be installed on both flat and curved surfaces.
Always handle TILEs along the outer edges of the sheet.
Avoid handling, scraping, rubbing or wiping the front surface of the sheet. Although the LEDs and drive components are bonded
strongly to the base material, it is possible to remove them or damage the electrical connection if not handled with care.
Avoid penetrating the sheet at any location other than along the cut lines or in the marked knockout holes.
As with all electronics, light sheets are susceptible to damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Where possible avoid situations that
are conducive to creating static.
Avoid creasing or repeated flexing of TILE as this may cause separation in the traces of the electrical circuits located on the surface of
the sheets.

5.0 SYSTEM LAYOUT
BEFORE STARTING installation carefully consider your system layout (refer to project shop drawings if available):
– Refer to section 8 “TILE Interior/Tunable White zLayout Guidelines” for details regarding the maximum number of TILEs per power
supply. This number is also dependent on the arrangement of the sheets.
– Each TILE illuminates a 300mm x 600mm (approx 1’ x 2’) area.
– TILEs are joined electrically by attaching the two (2) sets of snap connectors.
DO NOT CONNECT more than one (1) power supply to one (1) light sheet electrical circuit. A light sheet electrical circuit includes
any TILEs that are in electrical contact with each other on the output side of the control module or power supply. Circuits must be
90W maximum.

6.0 EXAMPLE INSTALLATION
The installation below shows four (4) runs of TILE. Each run consists of two (2) TILE sheets connected in series. The Power Supply or
Control Module is connected to the system via the T-Cable and Starter Cable.
NOTE: Some layouts will require a TILE to be cut at the termination end of the run to fit into the area provided for mounting. Additionally,
if runs are required that are less than the width of a TILE, the layout will require that the TILEs be cut and rotated to fill the space. Please
refer to Section 7.3: “Cutting TILE” for detailed instructions on how to do this.

7.1 MOUNT THE 1ST RUN OF TILES
This step must be performed with great care because it is not possible to reposition the sheet once it has been taped down.
!
Double-sided foam tape
1. Mechnical fasteners are required for installation of TILE. Either screws or staples may be used. For ceiling mounted applications
or where flatness is critical it is recommended to also use the double sided tape which has been applied to the back of the
sheets prior to applying the mechanical fasteners.
If using the tape, remove the liner from the tape and carefully place the TILE in position, one side at a time. The tape is pressure
sensitive and must be pressed down firmly along its entire length in order to form a strong bond with the mounting surface.
7.0 INSTALLATION
DO NOT CONNECT the T-Cable at the output (tab) end of the TILE. The T-Cable can only be connected at the input end of the
sheet.
!
DO NOT connect T-Cables to TILE tabs.

or
2. Beginning at the input end of a run, position the first TILE where required. Fasten the sheet to the mounting surface using #8 (or
M4) fasteners appropriate for the mounting surface. It is recommended to use nylon washers to prevent damage to TILE.
