Joining Product
2. When cutting wires between modules,
leaving one side longer will aid in joining
product where needed. If, however, wires
are not long enough for connections, use
either jumper wires or remove a module to
maximize wire length.
3. Use SignBOX II Clamps (P/N 410155) and
SignBOX II Couplers (P/N 401330) to join
shorter pieces of product to required length.
Insert straps from both sides of modules into
clamps (track features facing same direction)

Mounting Product
4a.Mounting modules with SignBOX II
Clamps (P/N 410155) directly to cabinet:
Insert straps from both sides of module into
clamps (track features facing away from
mounting surface) making sure clamps are

pinching wires), and secure to cabinet
structure using #8 (M4) tek screws*. Repeat
on opposite end making sure product is taut.
4b.Mounting modules with SignBOX II
Clamps (P/N 410155) using SignBOX II
Brackets (P/N 401309): Install brackets 12
in (305 mm) center-to-center along returns
of cabinet*. Insert straps from both sides of
module into clamps (track features facing
same direction) making sure clamps are

pinching wires), slide onto bracket, and
secure to it with #8 (M4) tek screws. Repeat
on opposite end making sure product is taut.
4c. Optional mounting in single-sided
cabinet with double stick tape: Using
non-oil based cleaner, clean all mounting
surfaces of sign and bottom of modules for
proper tape adhesion. With double stick
tape on bottom of modules (not included),
mount to back of cabinet. Make sure
product is taut.

Structural Support Guidelines for SignBOX II
Vertical mounting: space supports at even intervals, but no further apart than 8 ft (2,4 m).
Horizontal mounting: space supports at even intervals, but no further apart than 4 ft (1,2 m).

Single-sided option Double-sided options
5. Using electrical connectors with appropriate safety agency markings,
daisy chain product as required and connect to power supply as
shown above. CAUTION! Have a licensed electrician connect primary.
Modules may be connected in series or parallel. End wires of SignBOX
II should be capped and not tied back to power supply.
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.
* Refer to Density Guidelines to determine SignBOX II product and installation method.

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:
Entire box/cabinet or product
does not light after complete
installation.

any jumper wire is correct. Power supply outputs should be connected 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 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 the secondary wiring. Check all
connections and cap all loose wires.
The beginning of a strip lights,
but the entire strip does not
light or lights intermittently.
The primary cause of a portion of a strip is 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 the product light.
SignBOX II is designed so if one module fails, it will not cause the entire box/cabinet or strip to go out. If one module does not
light, but all others in the product do, replace this module with a new one.
