WARNING: Check Polarity – All connections must be RED-TO-RED (+) and BLACK-TO-BLACK (-). Reverse polarity connections may damage LEDs and will void product warranty.
AVERTISSEMENT: Vériez la polarité – Toutes les connexions doivent être ROUGE-ROUGE (+) et NOIR-NOIR (-). Des connexions inversées peuvent endommager les DEL et annuler la
garantie du produit.
3. Fasteners: If desired, modules can be
secured to sides of sign box using #6 (M3)
pan head sheet metal screws or 1/8"
(3 mm) aluminum rivets.
4. Connections: Modules may be connected
in series or parallel. Modules should not be
looped to create a closed circuit. Cap all
unused, exposed wire ends.
2. Peel and stick: Using provided double stick
tape, mount PosterBOX Mini modules to
sides of sign box.
Layouts: Mount PosterBOX Mini modules
on return of both long sides of sign box. If
brighter output is desired, mount on all four
(4) sides. It's recommended to test LED
density in a sample cabinet to evaluate
brightness, uniformity, and color. If you have
questions or require assistance in testing,
please contact your SloanLED Customer
Service Representative.
1. Clean surface: Clean inside of sign box with
rubbing alcohol and allow to dry. Clean all
mounting surfaces with alcohol for proper
tape adhesion.
NOTE: For optimum internal reection in single-
sided sign boxes, mount modules 0.2"-0.4"
(5-10 mm) from rear wall. For double-sided
sign boxes, mount modules in center of return.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. New installation and LED Retrot Kit installation requires knowledge of sign electrical systems. If not qualied, do not
attempt installation. Contact a qualied electrician. Follow all NEC and local codes. PosterBOX Mini is not suitable for submersion or direct exposure to water
for extended periods of time. AVERTISSEMENT: Risque de choc électrique. La nouvelle installation et l’installation du kit de modication à LED nécessitent
la connaissance des systèmes électriques de signalisation. Si non qualié, ne tentez pas l'installation. Contactez un électricien qualié. Suivez tous les codes
NEC et locaux. PosterBOX Mini ne convient pas à la submersion ni à l’exposition directe à l’eau pendant de longues périodes.

Retrot Instructions for Existing Signs
WARNING: Risk of re or electric shock. Install this kit only in host signs that have been identied in the installation instructions, and
where the input rating of the retrot kit does not exceed the input rating of the sign. Installation of this LED retrot kit may involve drilling
or punching of holes into the structure of the sign. Check for enclosed wiring and components to avoid damage to wiring and electrical
parts. AVERTISSEMENT: Risque d’incendie ou de choc électrique. Installez ce kit uniquement sur les panneaux hôtes identiés dans
les instructions d'installation et dans lesquels les caractéristiques nominales d'entrée du kit de modication ne dépassent pas celles du
panneau. L’installation de ce kit d’amélioration des LED peut impliquer de percer ou de percer des trous dans la structure de l’enseigne.
Vériez le câblage et les composants inclus pour éviter d'endommager le câblage et les pièces électriques.
GENERAL PURPOSE
RETROFIT SIGN CONVERSION.
FOR USE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE
WITH KIT INSTRUCTIONS.
KIT IS COMPLETE ONLY WHEN ALL PARTS
REQUIRED BY THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE PRESENT.
CAUTION: Turn o󰀨 power to sign before inspecting or removing existing light source. Power must remain o󰀨 while installing LED product.
ATTENTION : Coupez l'alimentation générale du panneau avant d'intervenir ou de retirer la source lumineuse existante. L'alimentation générale doit être
coupée tout au long de l'installation du kit de remplacement en LED.
1. Identify sign to be retrot and ensure branch circuit supplying existing sign are within voltage range for LED power supply.
Refer to components list (page 1) and "12 VDC Power Supply Capacity Chart" (page 3).
2. Remove existing lighting equipment intended to be replaced, such as neon or uorescent, and all power supplies, transformers, or ballasts.
Remove existing neon and all stando󰀨s to leave an empty sign cabinet. NOTE: All materials removed must be disposed of in accordance with
applicable local, state, and federal laws.
3. If required by local, state, or national electrical code, install a new disconnect switch.
4. Determine suitability and structural integrity of existing sign after removal of existing lighting equipment. If retrot does not require the making
of any new holes, do not make or alter any open holes in an enclosure of wiring or electrical components during kit installation. If existing holes
are present in a wet or outdoor location sign, repair and seal any unused openings in the electrical enclosure.
Openings greater than 0.5" (12.7 mm) diameter require a metal patch secured by screws or rivets and caulked with non-hardening caulk.
Smaller openings may be sealed with non-hardening caulk.
5. Clean inside of sign using non-oil based cleaner. Follow all manufacturer’s instructions and ensure inside of sign is dry before proceeding with
installation. This is an important step for good adhesion of PosterBOX Mini module mounting tape.
6. To populate sign, refer to PosterBOX Mini density guidelines as well as power supply loading chart (page 1) to determine appropriate number of
modules and power supplies. A list of acceptable power supply models is shown in the "12 VDC Power Supply Capacity Chart" (page 3).
7. Follow all instructions on page 1 under "New Installations" to properly install LED modules.
8. Connect modules to power supply output as shown on page 1 under "New Installations"
9. Connect power supply input as outlined in power supply installation guide in accordance with local, state and national electrical codes by
qualied personnel. Refer to power supply install guide included with power supply for details.
10. If required, install disconnect switch in accordance with local, state and national electrical codes by qualied personnel.

* For sign applications, only certied for use outside of U.S. and Canada.
NOTE: Each 12 V circuit must be limited to 5 A (60 W) or less. For North American installations, a power supply that meets NEC Class 2 specications is required.
Extension of Power Supply Leads
If longer lead wire from power supply to LED modules is needed, an extension can be used. Extension should be kept as short as possible, i.e., under
15 ft for 18 AWG UL Listed PLTC (4.6 m for 1 mm² PLTC) or under 50 ft for 14 AWG UL Listed PLTC (15.2 m for 2.5 mm² PLTC).
Troubleshooting
NOTE: A licensed electrician should perform all applicable steps.
Entire box or leg does not light after
complete installation.
Check connection from power supply lead to rst module. Make sure polarity of connections made at the power supply lead—between modules
and any jumper wire—is correct. All connections must be RED-to-RED and BLACK-to-BLACK.
Still does not light. 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, try a different power supply.
Still does not light. If power supply is getting primary power and modules don't light, there may be a short in 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 PosterBOX Mini leg not lighting or lighting intermittently is a bad connection or reverse polarity connection
between modules that light and modules that don’t light. Check this connection.
One module does not light, but all others
in leg light.
PosterBOX Mini is designed so if one module fails, it will not cause the entire sign or leg to go out. If one module does not light, but all others in the
leg do, replace this module with a new one.
