SloanLED BendLUX 701960-6WS241 User manual

Tools and supplies: Required: Measuring
tape, wire strippers, PLTC cable, wire nuts,
IDC connectors or butt splices, and cable ties.
Optional: Dow Corning® 737 or equivalent
SloanLED approved neutral cure sealant.
NOTE: 3M™ Scotchlok™ connectors for
European installations only.
1. Clean surface: Clean inside channel letter
or mounting track (SloanLED recommends
minimum 0.32 in (8 mm) depth and 0.1875 in
(5 mm) width) with rubbing alcohol and allow
to dry.
2. Peel and stick: Using predetermined layout, remove tape backing and stick strip in place.
Ensure strip is rmly attached.
NOTE: If installing in a narrow channel, tape may be unnecessary. Other means of securing strip
(sealant, vinyl, etc.) are also acceptable.
CAUTION: Avoid pressing down directly on top of LEDs or circuit components and use caution
to not damage LEDs or circuit components in tight bends around sharp corners. The minimum
radial bend radius is 1 in (25 mm).
WARNING: Check Polarity: All
connections must be RED-TO-RED (+)
and BLACK-TO-BLACK (-). Reverse
polarity connections may damage the
LEDs and will void product warranty.
3. Connections: Sections may be connected
in series or parallel. The string of BendLUX
should not be connected to create a closed
circuit. Cap all unused, exposed wire ends.
NOTE: To avoid signicant line loss, do not
use more than 6 ft (1.83 m) in series.
Optional snapped/cut sections: BendLUX can be snapped or cut into several sections to facilitate at
bends and very tight radial bends. Sections may be cut or snapped on the black lines with “BREAK HERE”
markings. To snap, lightly pinch on either side of a break location as indicated by a hole, black line, and
“BREAK HERE” marking, using caution to not damage the adjacent LEDs and circuit components. Bend
approximately 90° once in each direction. To cut, move wires away from the cut line. Using a pair of scissors or
shears, carefully cut along the black line. Cut only the printed circuit board, being careful to not cut the wires.
Side
mounted
3M Scotchlok connectors for
European installations only.
Not UL recognized for
North American installations.
Note: Modules must be mounted in an enclosed sign cabinet/box. This product is not suitable for
immersion or direct exposure to water for extended periods of time.

Troubleshooting
NOTE: A licensed electrician should perform all applicable steps.
Entire BendLUX leg does not light after
complete installation.
Check connection from power supply lead to rst section of BendLUX. Make sure polarity of connections made at power supply lead, any jumper
wire, and at rst section are correct. All connections must be RED-to-RED and BLACK-to-BLACK.
Still does not light. Disconnect BendLUX from power supply. Check output voltage of power supply using a multimeter. The output voltage should be 12.0 VDC ±
0.5 VDC. If there is no output voltage, have a licensed electrician check input voltage. Make sure power supply is connected correctly and getting
primary power. If power supply is connected properly and getting primary power and there is still no output voltage, replace power supply.
Still does not light. If power supply is getting primary power, has the correct output, and no sections light, there may be a short in the secondary wiring.
Check all connections and cap all loose wires.
The beginning of a leg lights, but entire leg
does not light or lights intermittently.
The primary cause of a portion of a BendLUX leg not lighting or lighting intermittently is a bad connection or reverse polarity connection between
sections that light and sections that don’t light. Check this connection.
An entire power supply leg of BendLUX
is dim.
Ensure maximum number of feet (meters) has not been exceeded (see above 12 VDC Power Supply Capacity Chart). Check secondary voltage.
If voltage is below 11.5 VDC, power supply leg may be overloaded.
One segment does not light, but all others
in the leg light.
BendLUX is designed so if one segment fails, it will not cause the entire leg to go out. If one segment does not light, but all others in the leg do,
replace the entire section with a new one.
BendLUX is covered by patents pending.
UL le number: E215393
