• Supports all colors of Tetra® XL and
Tetra® Power White XL LED Lighting Systems
• Class 2 wiring per NEC Article 725 (SELV)
• Damp location rated
• IP66 rated: separate enclosure required
Connect the supply wire that is
attached to the LED strip to the
power supply load bank using
the GECLSC2 splice connector.
2
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.

NOTE: Exceeding maximum
load will cause the power supply
to shut down. Once the excess
load is removed, cycle the input
power to restart the power
supply.
Specific load information for
the supported LED systems can
be found in the “Power Supply
Specifications” section on the

Power Supply Installation
Power Supply Features
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock. Turn power OFF before inspection,
installation or removal.

Conforms to the following standards:
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
• Turn power OFF before inspection, installation or removal.
• Properly ground Tetra Power Supply enclosure.
• Shut off power at fuse box or circuit breaker before installation.
RISK OF FIRE:
• Follow all NEC and local codes.
• Use only UL approved wire for input/output connections.
Minimum size 18 AWG (0.82 mm2)
WARNING!
NOTE: The power supply must be mounted in the appropriate (UYMR or UL approved) electrical enclosure. The power
supply can be mounted horizontally or vertically. It is recommended that at least 2 mountings screws (#8 or #10, M4 or
M5) be used to mount the power supply. Attach the ground wire (minimum 18 AWG (0.82mm2)) to the base of the power
supply enclosure. The grounding and bonding of the power supply and overall sign shall be done in accordance with
National Electric Code (NEC) Article 600.
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 and
neutral connections, in accordance with local, state or country regulations.
