that is attached to the Tetra
LED System to the red (+)
and black (-) output wires
of the power supply as
outlined in the “Electrical
Connections” section
of your LED system’s

Carefully remove knockout
for AC line input wires. Install
appropriate electrical fittings
in the knockout holes for
wire protection.
Connect the AC line to
the black (line) and white
(neutral) input wires of
the power supply using
18-14 AWG (0.82-2.08 mm2)
twist-on wire connectors.
Ground power supply by

NOTE: For CSA approval, a disconnect/toggle switch of appropriate rating needs to be placed within 29.5 feet (9 meters)
of primary side of the power supply. The minimum rating of the switch must be either 120 or 220 Volts AC. The
switch must also support twice the amount of input current.
NOTE: When installing power supply, connect to the appropriate sized building breaker or disconnect device for line,
neutral and ground connections, in accordance with National Electric Code (NEC) Article 600 and all local
regulations.
