Electrical Connections
Turn off power and remove panel from the channel
letter.
Remove the existing GECLPSPH. Do not remove
existing channel letters and wiring. 
NOTE: Follow all federal and local regulations when
disposing of existing LED drivers.
Remove Existing Lighting Equipment
Prior to installation, survey the site for information regarding power and accessibility inside and outside the building. Ensure that the
branch circuit supplying the existing LED power supply will be within the voltage ratings of the new LED power supply, and have a
current rating not exceeding 20A, or that permitted by applicable local, state, or country electrical codes (whichever is less).
If removal of the existing lighting equipment (see Step 2 in this section) eliminates the disconnect switch, as required by applicable
local, state, or country electrical codes; a new disconnect switch must be installed. If required, the disconnect switch shall be installed by
qualified personnel, in accordance with applicable local, state, and country electrical codes.
Make sure the removal of lighting equipment does not compromise the integrity of the sign body (i.e. water intrusion). Repair and seal
any unused openings in the electrical enclosure. Openings greater than 12.7-mm (1/2-in) diameter require a metal patch secured by
screws or rivets and caulked with non-hardening caulk. Smaller openings may be sealed with non-hardening caulk.
Two GECLPSPH-2 and two 24VDC, 100W, Class 2
Tetra LED Drivers will be required to replace each
GECLPSPH LED driver. One GECLPSPH-2 and one
24VDC, 100W, Class 2 Tetra LED Drivers will be
required to replace each GECLPSPHA LED driver.
NOTE: Mount the LED driver and LED control
module within the sign or other enclosure.
If installing multiple LED control modules or LED
drivers in the same compartment, keep them at least
2” (50.8mm) apart end to end and 4” (101.6mm) apart
along the sides.
NOTE: All drivers except the GEPS24-200U-GLX2 or
GEPS24-300U-GLX2 must be installed in an enclosure
or be provided with a GEPSJB60 LED driver extended
enclosure.

and green to green using 18 AWG
(0.82mm2) wire connectors.
Connect the red stripe wire (+)
of the LED control module to the
red wire (+) of the power supply.
Connect the white wire (-) of the
LED control module to the black
or blue wire (-) of the power
supply.
Connect each LED control module
output lead pair to each Tetra LED
module supply lead pair using
UL certified wire connectors. Cap
each unused output lead with a UL
certified wire connector.
WARNING: Do not connect
outputs in series or parallel.
