Power Supply Installation
Connect the AC line to the black
or brown (line) and white or
blue (neutral) input wires of the
power supply using suitable wire
connectors.
Connect the supply wire that is
attached to the Tetra LED System
to the red (+) and black or blue (-)
output wires of the power supply
as outlined in the “Electrical
Connections” section of your LED
system’s Installation Instructions.
NOTE: To avoid overloading this
power supply with LED modules,
please refer to the specic module
loading guides.

Mount the power supply. Mounting
the power supply base directly to
a thermally conductive installation
surface can improve thermal
performance.
NOTE: All electrical connections
should be suitably protected
from mechanical damage and the
environment. Seal all connections
exposed to water with electrical
grade self-hardening silicone.
WARNING / AVERTISSEMENT
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
• Disconnect power at fuse box or circuit breaker before servicing or
installing product.
• Properly ground Tetra®power supply.
RISK OF FIRE
• Use only approved wire for input/output connection. Minimum size
18 AWG (0.82 mm2).
• Follow all local codes.
• Application considerations potentially requiring additional spacing
include high ambient temperature seen by the power supply, poor
contact with a heat dissipating material, inadequate ventilation, or
direct exposure to sun.
RISQUES DE DÉCHARGES ÉLECTRIQUES
• Coupez l’alimentation électrique à la boîte de fusibles ou au disjoncteur
avant l’entretien ou l’installation du produit.
• Assurez-vous de correctement mettre à terre le bloc d’alimentation Tetra®.
RISQUES D’INCENDIE
• N’utilisez que des ls approuvés pour les entrées/sorties de connexion.
Taille minimum 18 AWG (0.82 mm2).
• Respectez tous les codes locaux.
• Certaines applications pourraient requérir un espacement additionnel,
p. ex. une température ambiante élevée autour du bloc d’alimentation,
un mauvais contact avec une matière dissipatrice de chaleur, une
ventilation inadéquate ou une exposition directe au soleil.
CAUTION / ATTENTION
RISK OF INJURY
• While performing installations described, gloves, safety glasses or
goggles should be worn.
RISQUES DE BLESSURE
• Lors de l’exécution des installations décrites, des gants, des lunettes de
sécurité ou des lunettes de protection doivent être portées.
OPTIONAL
A Weather Box (GEXNWB2) may be used to
house and seal Class 2 connections.
A) Insert wire connectors into weather box. Fill
with electrical grade silicone and close box.
B) Secure the weather box using a #6 or #8
(M2 or M3) screw.
Weather box
can be painted
Light engine
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
AC input connections shall be
suitably enclosed.

Symptom Solution
All letters are OFF • Recycle AC power, turn it o, then turn on again.
• If still o, check the power supply DC output voltage using a voltmeter. It should be nominally 12V.
»If there is DC output, inspect and correct all DC wire damage/polarity issues; If no issue is found, replace the
OFF-module string.
»If there is no DC output, have a licensed electrician check the input AC voltage and if there is correct AC voltage,
replace the power supply.
»If there is no AC voltage, correct the upstream AC issue.
Some LEDs appear dim • Ensure the overall length of the Tetra®LED System does not exceed the maximum load.
• Ensure the length of supply wire is equal to or below the recommended remote mounting distance.
Some of the letters
are not illuminated
• Inspect and correct the wires of the non-illuminated letters for damage/polarity issues; If no issues are found, see the
troubleshooting solution for “All letters are OFF.”
Shadows • Re-route supply wire and secure to the back of the can with electrical grade RTV silicone. Adjust wire connector
orientation so that it does not cover any LEDs.
• Adjust LED layout to ensure uniformity of illumination of the face of the letter.
Troubleshooting
Conforms to the following standards:
This product is intended to be used as a lamp control gear that is installed after the mains control switch.
