SloanLED Prism User manual

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. SloanLED Prism is not
suitable for submersion or direct exposure to water for extended periods of time.
For New Installation, proceed with Step 1 below. For Retrot Installations, begin with Retrot Instructions on page 2.
New Installation
1. Tools required: Measuring tape, wire
strippers. Optional: Drill, screwdriver.
2. Components list:
• SloanLED Prism modules, model numbers
701269-(XX)(Y)J(Z)-MB and
701269-(XX)24(Y)J(Z)-MB
• SloanLED 12 V Class 2 output power supply
(refer to "12 VDC Power Supply Capacity Chart"
for appropriate model numbers)
• SloanLED 24 V Class 2 output power supply
(refer to "24 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, #6 (M3) sheet metal screws, or
1/8" (3 mm) aluminum rivets
CAN DEPTH
STROKE WIDTH
3. Layout: To populate sign,
refer to SloanLED®Prism density
guidelines as well as power
supply loading chart below to
determine appropriate number
of modules and power supplies.
4. Peel and stick: Clean inside sign with rubbing alcohol and allow to
dry. Using predetermined layout and LED placement from Step 3,
remove tape backing and stick modules into place. Ensure modules
are rmly attached. NOTE: If installing SloanLED Prism Nano, and
installing in a narrow channel, tape may be unnecessary. Other
means of securing strip (sealant, vinyl, etc.) are also acceptable.
5. Fasteners: Use fasteners
or silicone as necessary to
x modules in place. Refer
to components list above for
acceptable fasteners.
NOTE: For SloanLED Prism Nano, to avoid
signicant line loss, do not use more than
6.56 ft (2.0 m) / 50 modules in series.

7. Cap all unused wires:
Using appropriate UL Listed
wire connectors (refer to
components list on page 1),
cap all used wires. Strand of
modules should not be looped
to create a close circuit.
8. Connect power supply to rst
module on string: See power
supply install guide for more
information regarding power
supply installation. NOTE: For
SloanLED Prism Nano, to avoid
signicant line loss, do not use
more than 6.56 ft (2.0 m) in
series (see diagram on page 1
of this install guide).
9. Replace sign face:
Clean any debris from inside of
sign and replace the sign face.
6. Connections: Modules may be
connected in series or parallel.
WARNING: Connect Red striped wire of LED modules (+) to Red wire of power supply (+). Connect White wire of LED modules (-) to
Black wire of power supply (-). Reverse polarity connections may damage LEDs and will void product warranty.
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 "12/24 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 channel letter can. 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 SloanLED channel letter module mounting tape.
6. To populate sign, refer to SloanLED Prism 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 "12/24 VDC Power Supply Capacity Chart" (page 3).
7. Follow all instructions on pages 1 and 2 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.
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

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.

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 sign 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 and any jumper wire is
correct. Power supply outputs should be connected RED-TO-RED and BLACK-TO-WHITE.
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, or DC 24.0 V ± 0.5 V (24 V product).
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 SloanLED Prism 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
SloanLED Prism 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.
SloanLED Prism is covered by US patent 6,932,495 and US and foreign patents pending.
