in eld end cap kit.
2. Prepare LEDStripe for cutting: Grip LEDStripe with mounting bracket pointing upwards and
gently pull right female connector to seat circuit board to right edge of tube.
Cut marks
3. Cut LEDStripe: All LEDStripe lengths can
be cut in the eld in 3" (75 mm) increments
on cut marks. Looking through extrusion,
black cut mark lines on LED board can
be seen on back of mounting track by
illuminating a section of LEDStripe. Measure
length from male connector end to cut mark
nearest required length. Use a power miter
saw to ensure a straight 90° cut. Use a sharp
blade to ensure a smooth clean cut.
5. Deburr and clean LED board:
Gently pull LED board out of tube about
0.25" (6 mm). Deburr cut-end of LED
board with sandpaper provided.
Remove any dust and debris.
WARNING: Failure to strictly follow these instructions may subject installer or others to personal injury.
Failure to strictly follow these instructions will also void manufacturer's warranties and may cause risk of
re, product damage, damage to property and injury to persons. Please read all warnings contained below
and follow all instructions carefully.
Field Cuts
4. Deburr and clean extrusion: Ensure end
of extrusion is deburred and clean of any

Apply a generous continuous bead of Weld-on
#16 to entire bonding surface (crosshatched
area) on both cut extrusion and end cap.
Extrusion End Cap
7. Push PCB back into extrusion: After
Humiseal has dried for at least 7 minutes,
press circuit board as far into tube as it will
go. If any Humiseal adhered to the extrusion,
gently sand o󰀨 with sandpaper provided.
Avoid sanding edge of LED board.
8. Apply Weld-On #16: Apply Weld-On #16 in
a generous continuous bead to both cut end
of LEDStripe extrusion and bonding surface
on end-cap. See diagram above. Do not use
silicone or other solvents/adhesives.
WARNING: It is important to follow and review safety instructions and MSDS for Weld-On #16 solvent cement packaging and Humiseal 1B73
conformal coat. Follow all safety instructions on Weld-On #16 packaging.
Humiseal MSDS available at http://www.humiseal.com/
Weld-On #16 MSDS available at http://www.ipscorp.com/
WARNING: Field end-cap must create a water tight seal. All debris must be removed to promote a good end-cap bond and to
avoid electrical failure. Use of other types of saws and/or use of a dull blade may lead to chipping or cracking of the extrusion
or create a cut that cannot be sealed resulting in product failure. Ensure extrusion bonding surface is clean. Contaminants or
any adhesive other than Weld-On #16 on this surface may lead to poor bonding, water ingress, and product failure. Product
failures resulting from failure to strictly follow eld cut instructions are not covered by any product warranty.
SAFETY WARNING: Failure of eld end-cap to maintain a water tight seal may lead to water ingress and product failure.
Product failures of this type could result in electrical shock and/or re and damage to the product and materials which may
come in contact with the product. Electrical shocks may cause injury.
5 minutes
Hold cap
to edge
9. Fit end-cap to cut edge: After applying
Weld-On #16, immediately press end-cap onto
extrusion. Ensure end-cap is aligned, covers
entire extrusion opening, and is completely
seated against extrusion. Apply pressure to end-
cap for 5 minutes.
10. Second bead of Weld-On #16
Remove strong tape after the 5 minutes
curing period. Apply a generous continuous
second bead of Weld-On #16 around the
entire seam where the end-cap is bonded to
the extrusion.
NOTE: Strong tape can be used to maintain
pressure on end-cap for curing period.
5 minutes
7 minutes
WARNING: Avoid getting Humiseal conformal
coat on end of extrusion. Conformal coat will
interfere with end-cap bond.
6. Seal end of LED board with conformal coat:
Brush Humiseal 1B73 conformal coat onto cut
edge of LED board to seal from moisture. Allow
to dry for 7 minutes. Do not apply conformal
coat to cut edge of extrusion or end-cap. If any
Humiseal adhered to the extrusion, gently sand
o󰀨. Avoid sanding edge of LED board.
