Mount PosterBOX™ Slim modules on return
of both long sides of sign box. If brighter
output is desired, mount on all four (4)

in a sample cabinet to evaluate brightness,
uniformity, and color. If you have questions
or require assistance in testing, please
contact your SloanLED Customer

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™ Slim modules to
sides of sign box.
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.
Extra wire for connections: Modules may
be gently pulled apart to release extra wire
for making connections.

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 the modules don't 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 the entire
leg does not light or lights intermittently.
The primary cause of a portion of a PosterBox™ Slim leg not lighting or lighting intermittently is a bad connection or reverse polarity connection
between the modules that light and the modules that don’t light. Check this connection.
One module does not light, but all others
in the leg light.
PosterBOX™ Slim 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.
PosterBOX™ Slim is covered by CN200680037992.9, EP0890059, EP06812715.8, JP08-535482, NL1030161C2, US12089720 and patents pending.
