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. Properly ground
(green wire with yellow stripe) power
supply in accordance with National
Electric Code (NEC) Article 600.

NOTE: All electrical connections
should be made within the letter.
4Mount Power Supply in a horizontal
orientation with a minimum of one
screw per mounting plate (two
screws per power supply) with the
base in contact with the mounting
surface in accordance with the
power supply spacing requirements
described above.
5Tighten liquid-tight ttings and
properly replace cover on junction
box to ensure a water-tight seal. If
not protected from the weather, the
output connections may be sealed
with electrical grade silicone.
NOTE: Exceeding maximum load per bank will cause the power supply to shut down. Once the excess load is removed, cycle the
input power to restart the power supply.
NOTE: To avoid overloading this
power supply with LED modules,
please refer to the specic module
loading guides.
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.
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.

Symptom Solution
All letters are OFF • Recycle AC power, turn it off, then turn on again.
• If still off, check the power supply DC output voltage using a voltmeter. It should be nominally V.
»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.
