METHOD A - Installing Light Engines With Light Guides
Plan the layout by measuring the design layout and dividing by 8 ft . (2.44m) to determine
the required quantity of Tetra Contour. Refer to the Cutting Resolution Table on page 2 when
cutting any Tetra Contour section.
Do not use more than one sux code for each respective application, as mixing sux codes
may result in appearance variation. Sux code can be found on the packaging label.
Installation methods shown are for straight runs. For custom shapes, refer to the Light Guide
Forming Instructions.

Using the light guide nal length,
measure out the necessary length
of Contour LED light engine
to match. If required, using a
sharp cutting tool, cut wire loops

WARNING / AVERTISSEMENT
RISK OF FIRE: The light engine is not intended
for excessive or repetitive bending or
stretching. If the silicone does crack, replace
the light engine.
RISQUE D’INCENDIE: Les modules DEL

METHOD B - Installing Light Engines Without Light Guides (Dry Indoor Only)
Plan the layout by measuring the design layout and dividing by 8 ft . (2.44m) to determine the required quantity of Tetra Contour.
Refer to the Cutting Resolution Table on page 2 when cutting any Tetra Contour section.
Do not use more than one sux code for each respective application, as mixing sux codes may result in appearance variation.
Sux code can be found on the packaging label.
Installation methods shown are for straight runs. For custom shapes, install mounting clips at regular intervals throughout the shape to
provide adequate support for the light engine.
DO NOT bend the light engine to an inside radius that is tighter than 3/4 in. (19mm). The light engine is not intended for excessive or
repetitive bending or stretching. If the silicone does crack, electrical grade silicone can be applied to seal the crack.
WARNING / AVERTISSEMENT
Risk of FIRE: Light engine by itself is intended for use in dry indoor application only.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
CAN ICES-005 (A) / NMB-005 (A)
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Troubleshooting
Symptom Condition Solution
All LEDs are OFF
No AC input Attach AC input and/or check circuit breaker
Incorrect wire attachment
Check wire connection(s) at the Tetra Contour LED light engine and power supply for im-
proper connections or short circuits. Make sure you have positive to positive and negative
to negative wire connections.
Some LEDs
appear dim
Overload (maximum load
exceeded)
Ensure the overall length of Tetra Contour LED light engine does not exceed the maximum
load as detailed in the Tetra®Power Supply Installation Instructions.
Maximum recommended supply
wire length exceeded Reduce the length of supply wire equal to or below the recommended maximum.
Mixed Sux Codes of LED light
engine within an application
Make sure that all LED light engines have the same Sux Code
(Sux Code is located on each packaging label).
Some of the sections
are not illuminated Incorrect wire attachment
Check the wire connections at the Tetra Contour LED light engine for improper connec-
tions. Make sure you have positive to positive and negative to negative wire connections.
Check for improper cutting resolution locations (see Item 21 on Page 2).
Light/dark banding
along a section
LED light engine stretched
during installation
Remove LED light engine and properly install.
Inspect and replace light engine if the silicone is damaged.
