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
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 ne convient pas à la submersion ni à l’exposition directe à l’eau pendant de longues périodes.
For New Installation, proceed with Step
1 below. For Retrot Installations, begin
with Retrot Instructions on page 2.
New Installation
Tools required: Measuring tape, wire
strippers. Optional: Drill, screwdriver.
Components list:
• SloanLED PosterBOX modules, model numbers
701946-CWPBM and 701946-NWPBM
• SloanLED 12 V Class 2 output power supply
(refer to "12 VDC Power Supply Capacity
Chart" for appropriate model numbers)
• UL approved 18 AWG or larger diameter
supply wire
• UL approved wire connectors appropriate
for wire gauge used
• Optional for mounting: Electrical grade silicone,
#8 (M4) sheet metal screws, or 5/32" (4 mm)
aluminum rivets
3. Peel and stick: Using provided double stick
tape, mount PosterBOX modules to sides of
sign box. For best performance it is
recommended that the modules be mounted
 ushagainsttherearwallofthesignbox.
1. Measure sign box to determine quantities of
PosterBOX (see Power Supply capacity
table on page 3).

2. Clean sign box: Using a non-oil based cleaner,
clean the inside surface of the sign. Be sure to
clean any mounting surfaces with alcohol for
proper tape adhesion.
4. Fasteners: If desired, modules can be secured
using #8 (M4) pan head sheet metal screws or
5/32" (4 mm) aluminum rivets.
5. Connect modules: Each module has
2 ft (0.6 m) of wiring on each side. Cut
wires as needed leaving enough to connect
the modules. Modules may be connected in
series or parallel.
6. Units may be mounted in any orientation
using mounting tabs.

6. Connect primary: CAUTION! Have a
licensed electrician connect primary.
ATTENTION! Avoir un électricien agréé
connecter primaire.
7. Connect modules to power supply: Using
UL Listed electrical connectors, daisy chain
PosterBOX modules as required and connect to
power supply. Modules may be daisy chained in
 seriesorparallelcongurations.
8. Cap all unused wires: The strand of
modules should not be looped to create a
closed circuit.
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. AVERTISSEMENT: Vériez la polarité: toutes les connexions doivent être ROUGE À ROUGE (+) et NOIR À NOIR (-). Des connexions inversées
peuvent endommager les DEL et annuler la garantie du produit.
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 "24 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 module mounting tape.
6. To populate sign, refer to PosterBOX 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 "24 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.

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:
under 15 ft for 18 AWG UL Listed PLTC or under 50 ft for 14 AWG UL Listed PLTC. (4.6 m for 1 mm² or under 15.2 m for 2.5 mm²).
Troubleshooting:
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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 voltmeter. The output voltage should be DC 12.0 V ± 0.5 V. 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di󰀨erentpowersupply.
Still does not light. If power supply is getting primary power and 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
entire leg does not light or lights
intermittently.
The primary cause of a portion of a PosterBOX module leg not lighting or lighting intermittently is a bad
connection or reverse polarity connection between 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 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 module with a new one.
PosterBOX system is covered by CN200680037992.9, EP0890059, EP06812715.8, JP08-535482, NL1030161C2, US12089720 and patents pending.
