1. Gather materials: Sandpaper, Weld-On
#16, conformal coat for sealing edge of LED
board (Humiseal 1B73 or Electrolube APL),
and acrylic (eld) end-cap.
2. Prepare LEDStripe for cutting: Grip LEDStripe with mounting bracket pointing upwards and
gently pull right (SMALL) 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,
except 1-ft (305 mm) lengths can be cut in 1''
to 1.5'' (25 to 38 mm), on cut marks. To cut a
section, measure the length from the LARGE
connector end to the cut mark nearest the
required length. Use a power miter saw to
ensure a straight 90° cut. Use a sharp blade
to ensure a smooth clean cut.
4. Deburr LED Board and Extrusion:
Gently pull LED board out of tube about
0.25'' (6 mm). Deburr cut-end of LED Board
and LEDStripe Extrusion with enclosed
sandpaper. Make sure to remove all debris
from LED board and LEDStripe extrusion.
7 minutes
5. Seal end of LED board with conformal
coat: Brush conformal coat (Humiseal 1B73
or Electrolube APL) 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.
WARNING: Avoid getting conformal coat
on end of extrusion. Conformal coat will
interfere with end-cap bond.
AVERTISSEMENT: Évitez d’appliquer une
couche conforme à la n de l’extrusion.
Une couche conforme interférera avec
l’adhérence du capuchon d’extrémité.

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
6. Push PCB back into extrusion: After
conformal coat has dried for at least 7
minutes, press the circuit board as far into
the tube as it will go.
7. Clean extrusion: Ensure end of extrusion
is clean and free of any foreign material. If
any conformal coat adhered to the extrusion,
gently sand o󰀨. Avoid sanding the edge of
the 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: 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. AVERTISSEMENT: le capuchon d’extrémité de champ doit créer un joint étanche à l’eau. Tous les
débris doivent être enlevés pour promouvoir un bien embout et pour éviter les pannes électriques. L’utilisation d’autres types de scies et / ou l’utilisation
d’une lame émoussée peut entraîner un écaillage ou une ssuration de l’extrusion ou créer une coupe qui ne peut pas être scellée, entraînant une
défaillance du produit. Assurez-vous que la surface de liaison par extrusion est propre. Les contaminants ou tout adhésif autre que Weld-On # 16 sur cette
surface peuvent entraîner une mauvaise adhérence, une inltration d’eau et une défaillance du produit. Les pannes de produit résultant du non-respect
des instructions de coupe sur site ne sont couvertes par aucune garantie du produit.
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. AVERTISSEMENT DE SÉCURITÉ: Le non-respect du capuchon d’extrémité sur site pour maintenir un joint étanche à l’eau peut entraîner une
inltration d’eau et une défaillance du produit. Les pannes du produit de ce type peuvent entraîner un choc électrique et / ou un incendie et endommager
le produit et les matériaux qui peuvent entrer en contact avec le produit. Les chocs électriques peuvent provoquer des blessures.
WARNING: It is important to follow and review the safety instructions and MSDS for Weld-
On #16 solvent cement packaging and Humiseal 1B73 or Electrolube APL conformal coats.
Follow all safety instructions on Weld-On #16 packaging. AVERTISSEMENT: Il est important

Troubleshooting:
One complete length of
LEDStripe won’t light.
Most likely a connector or connection problem. Check connections and voltage at connector. It could be a loose connection, wire, or connector.
More than one length of
product does not light.
Most likely a connection problem. Check connections where product stops lighting. Another cause could be that power supply is overloaded and
secondary output circuit protection is engaged. Check how many feet/meters of product are on each leg of power supply. Check output current of
power supply.
One 3"(75 mm) section
is dark
Problem inside product. Replace entire LEDStripe unit. Call SloanLED for return and replacement instructions.
After cutting, product
does not light.
Most likely wrong end was cut. When cutting product make sure that end with the big connector is end that is kept.
After cutting, end with small connector is scrap and will not light.
LEDStripe is dim Power supply is most likely overloaded. Remove section of LEDStripe until full brightness is achieved. Check output current of power supply.
