1. Use a chalk line, gauge, laser level, or other means to be certain the run is straight, marking locations for
brackets.
Border/perimeter of sign cabinets should always have orientation of Street Fighter Wrap™ housing raised
lip outboard on vertical or diagonal. Orient brackets so that the drain holes will be on the bottom side of
the horizontal runs.
Install mounting brackets. Spacing will be no greater than 17.75”. Length for Standard, Mix-n-Match and
Specialty Street Wrap™ is 106.5”, RGB is 104”. Use pre-drilled wire hole mounting brackets at transformer
locations.

3.
Install end bracket after housing
has been installed into previous
brackets by sliding over end to
ensure bracket is centered
between sections. Place mounting
brackets 3” on center from corners.

Note: This is correct bracket orientation.
Note: Track sections share a bracket at the ends to keep ends together and straight. There must be a space left between 106.5” plastic track sections (NOT LEDs) of 3/16”.

INSTALLING STREET WRAP™ INTO MOUNTING BRACKETS SEC. 2
Connect wires from one section to another using red butt splice wire connectors. No more
than 45 modules in a series.
Before hanging sections that have the power cable placed between them, cut a small notch
with dikes or other tool in the back of both housing sections to allow room for cable.
Lay the section being added on the mounting brackets. After making wire connections tuck
the wires and connectors BEHIND LED modules. Caulk notch.
Insert the top edge into the top bracket latch. Push the track housing in and roll top track
housing into mounting bracket bottom point. See Figure 1.
Bring Street Wrap™ sections close together by pushing sections together until LED modules
come together, but leave a 3/16" approximate expansion gap between plastic track sections.
Leave no gaps in the LEDs.
Install an End Cap at the beginning and end of runs with silicone. Silicone on top side only, so
water will drain out.
Finish by sliding a Coupling Rain Shield under the mounting bracket latch, over both sections.
Use a small amount of silicone on one side of rain shield to hold on.
Use a small screw driver to gently pry up the Mounting Bracket Latch to insert Rain Shield
under latch making certain it is rmly attached.

CUSTOM CUT TO FIT END OF RUNS & CORNERS SEC. 4
END OF A RUN
Remove LEDs before cutting track by sliding one or two modules out.
Measure, mark and cut Street Wrap™ to required length. Use a ne blade.
Add drain holes in the center, of the cut piece of track, before reinstalling the LED.
Reinstall modules to desired length.

MOUNTING STREET WRAP™ ON AN INCLINE SEC. 5
Coupling Rain Shield
When mounting Street Wrap™ on an incline or vertically, two things
must be prevented. First the Street Wrap™ must be kept from sliding
down, while still allowing for expansion/contraction with temperature
changes. Second, water must be sealed out since it will run down the
top of the Street Wrap™.
Seal the rain shield to the upper Street Wrap™ to keep
water from penetrating.
Do NOT seal the rain shield to the lower
Street Wrap™ since the Street Wrap™ will
expand/contract.
Caulk above (or crimp) ONE
bracket towards the middle of
each of the rest of the Street
Wrap™ to prevent it from sliding
while still allowing it to expand
and contract.
Drill 2 holes in the
end cap to allow
water to escape.

Attach Qwik Boxes to available support member.
Attach power supplies inside of Qwik Boxes.
Install strain relief for low voltage wire.
Drill 1/2” hole through the fascia. A conduit tting can be installed so that conduit can be
used.
Insert low voltage wire into the hole and connect to LED. Fill hole with silicone sealant.
Note: Stop and make sure the supplied power supply is 277VAC rated
with any primary voltage supply greater than 120.

TESTING EACH SECTION SEC. 8
IMPORTANT: DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP. ALWAYS CHECK ALL LED LIGHTS BEFORE CONTINUING.
DO NOT APPLY 120V TO THE RED OR BLACK WIRES OR DIRECTLY TO THE LED MODULES.
Using the installed trasformers, supply power to the LED light chains by connecting a temporary 120V connection to
the black and white wires on the transformer to power the LED lights.
REMEMBER: BLACK AND WHITE WIRES ARE FOR 120V POWER IN, RED AND BLACK ARE FOR LOW-VOLTAGE POWER OUT.

2. Check to see if all LEDs are lit and working correctly.
If a module or section does not light up, is damaged, etc. —disconnect power and check connections or replace a
module by splicing in another.
