Preparation
Specications
If installing a new power supply: 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 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 qualied personnel, in accordance with applicable local, state, and country electrical codes.
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.
Using the layout guidelines within the LED module installation instructions, determine required number of LED modules
required to illuminate the sign.
The 24/24 Module must be supplied by an output of a Tetra®24VDC Class 2 Power Supply as listed below. Using the
Maximum Loading chart below, determine the number of Tetra®Class 2 Power Supplies required to power the number of
LED modules required to illuminate the sign, so as not to overload the Tetra®Class 2 Power Supply chosen.
Follow the LED module instructions to properly mount the LED modules.
Exceeding the maximum recommended loading above may put the power supply in protection mode

Installation
If installing multiple 24/24 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 GEPS24-180U must
be installed in a raceway or be provided with a
GEPSJB60 LED driver extended enclosure.
Using UL certied wire connectors, connect the
red lead (Input +) of the 24/24 Module to the red
lead (DC +) of the power supply, and the black lead
(Input -) of the 24/24 Module to the black or blue
lead (DC -) of the power supply.
Using UL certied wire connectors, connect the
red-white lead (Output +) of the 24/24 Module to
the (+) supply lead of the Tetra LED modules, and
the white lead (Output -) of the 24/24 Module to
the (-) supply lead of the Tetra LED modules.
Turn off power and remove panel from the sign.
Drill two mounting holes inside the sign. Use rivets or screws to secure the 24/24 Module
within the sign.
