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.
