Introduction
As a unique alternative to hand held lights, the LiftLyte™ is designed to provide service personnel and car
enthusiasts with a highly effective, full range, under vehicle lighting system. High intensity automobile trouble lights
produce glare and deep shadows that can mask problem areas. Flashlights, floodlights and daylight all share this
same issue.
The LiftLyte™ uses LED Strip Technology to produce a bright, uniform no-glare light devoid of obscuring shadows.
The system is designed to be installed on the side rails of vehicle lifts or the side walls of inspection pit areas. Even in
the brightest of day time conditions, the LiftLyte can and will be highly effective. Service personnel can effectively and
rapidly scan the vehicle underside, assisting them in searching out trouble areas or for general maintenance purposes.

Installation Procedure
Before starting the installation of the LiftLyte™, understand that you will be providing power and the electrical
power
cord to the LiftLyte. Determine the best location that will allow for the easiest power access. Also note
that your
electrical extension cord may rise and fall with your lift depending on where you mount the AC
Transformer Power
Supply. Always keep your power cords in an area where they will not be damaged in any
way.
Note: All installation procedures must be performed with the power disconnected. The Procedures
below
primarily pertain to the double stick tape version of the LiftLyte but serves as a guide for
installation of
the magnetized version which is basically plug and play.
The LiftLyte™is designed to accept power from either the left or the right. The AC Transformer Power Supply
(item 2)
maybe positioned on the opposite side from that shown in Figure 1.
1. Verify all parts and associated quantities to the list of provided components on page 2. If there are any
discrepancies please contact Illuminating Perception.
2. Remove the LED Light Strips from their plastic packaging. NOTE their triangular shape. NOTE also
that one
side has double stick tape pre-attached or magnets. Each LED Strip has a power input end
and a terminated
end. (See figure 1) The power input end of each strip is placed on the lift end where
the electrical power is to
be supplied.
3. IMPORTANT: The LED Light Strips must be attached at the proper angle when installed on your vehicle lift.
Placement of each strip is critical. (The high quality tape used to attach the LED Light Strips is almost
impossible to remove when installed properly.) The light emitted from the LED Strip must be directed under
and across the underside of the vehicle (See Figure 2). The magnetized version can be
moved to determine
the most effective illumination.

1. Determine where you will install the LED Light Strips on your runways and where the AC Transformer
Power
Supply will be located (See Figure 3 & Detail A). IMPORTANT: Make sure there will be no
interference with
any accessory components used on the lift. Clean the surface area of the inside
horizontal rail of the lift or wall
of the lube pit using a grease cutting solvent. Allow the surface to dry
completely. Apply the primer stick
mixture in a thin straight line along the complete length of the lift
runway or lube pit wall where the LED Light
Strip will be installed. This will remove any residual oil that
maystill be on the surface. This is critical for the
adhesion of the double stick tape to the metal or
concrete wall (for lube pit application). Repeat on the
opposite runway or wall.
2. Prior to installing the LED Light Strips be certain that the plug end of the Light Strips will be positioned
so the
power cords from the AC Transformer power supply will be able to reach them. It is
recommended to use a
guide when applying the LED Light Strips to keep them straight on the
runways. Remove about a foot of the
protective cover from the double stick tape from the plug end of
one length of light strip. AGAIN –be sure you
are attaching the LED Light Strip so the light shines up.
From the plug end of the LED Light Strip and working back to the terminated end, peel about a foot of
the
protective cover off at a time and attach the LED Light Strip to the thin straight line that was cleaned
in step 4
until the entire LED Light Strip is installed. Press firmly along the entire length of the LED Light
Strips to assure
proper adhesion. Repeat on the opposite runway or wall.
3. The LiftLyte™is designed to accept power from the left or from the right. Position the AC Transformer
Power
Supply (2) where electrical power will be easily available. Attach the plug ends of each Light
Strip to the plug
ends of the AC Power Cord and Transformer. To prevent damage to the plug contacts
be sure to match up the
alignment tabs on the plugs when attaching the power cords to the LED Light
Strips. Use the supplied zip ties
and mounts to secure the wiring as required. Clean the areas where
the tie down points will be located with a
grease cutting solvent and allow it to dry. Additionally clean
those spots with one of the provided primer sticks.
DO NOT APPLY ELECTICAL POWER TO THE
TRANSFORMER AT THIS TIME.
4. Clean the area you have chosen to mount the power supply with a grease cutting solvent and allow it to
dry.
Additionally clean that area with the primer sticks if provided. Remove the protective surface from
the Velcro
strip on the backside of the AC Transformer power supply. Stick the AC Transformer Power
Supply to the
cleaned area and press firmly. DO NOT place the transformer in an area where it can be
damaged by raising or
lowering the lift or by automobile tires or other items. IMPORTANT: Carefully
raise and lower the lift completely
several times to make certain there are no areas where power cords
could get snagged on or crushed by any
parts of the lift.
5. Run an extension cord to the AC Transformer Power Supply. Apply electrical power at this time. Push
the on/off
button on the transformer. The LiftLyte™should activate within 2 seconds. Note that there is
a very slight delay
between activation and illumination of the LED Light Strips.

Maintaining LiftLyte™
Follow these maintenance guidelines to keep your LiftLyte™in good working condition.
To remove any film or oil, periodically wipe the Light Strips with a clean cloth dampened with
potable
water and mild detergent (dish soap).
Periodically inspect the power cords for chaffing, cuts etc.
LiftLyte
™Safety Considerations
Before supplying power to your LiftLyte™carefully fully raise and lower the lift several times to
be
certain there are no interference points that could damage (pinch, cut, chafe, crush etc.)
any of the
components of your LiftLyte-M™or, could prevent the full range of motion of the
lift.
Be sure all AC Transformer Power Supplycords and your extension cord are safely secured
using
the supplied zip ties and mounts.
Always review the location of all components of your LiftLyte™before installing or removing a
vehicle
from the lift.
Regularly inspect all components of the LiftLyte™for any possible damage.
If welding or using a torch in the vicinity of your LiftLyte™use care to prevent open flame or
molten
metal from coming into contact with any component of the LiftLyte™.
