NOTE: To avoid overloading this
power supply with LED modules,
please refer to the specic module
loading guides.
Power Supply Installation
Connect the supply wire that is
attached to your LED system to the
red (+) and black (-) output wires
of the LED driver as outlined in the
“Electrical Connections” section
of your LED system’s Installation
Instructions.
NOTE: Three 96 watt output
banks per power supply. Do not
interconnect output terminations.
Remove the junction box cover and carefully
remove knockout for AC line input wires.
Install appropriate electrical ttings in the
knockout holes for wire protection. Securely
mount the power supply with the base
in contact with the mounting surface in
accordance with the power supply spacing
requirements described in the Warning
Section. If used in a wet location, the power
supply and electrical connections shall be
protected from weather by a suitable rain
enclosure, and not subject to saturation with
water or other liquids. If not protected from
the weather, the output DC connections with
LED module must also be protected by a
weather box or with electrical grade silicone.
Please, refer to the LED module install
instructions for more details.
Connect the AC line to the black (line)
and white (neutral) input wires of the
power supply and connect the branch
circuit ground to the green wire with
a yellow stripe (ground) wire using
appropriately sized twist-on wire
connectors.

WARNING / AVERTISSEMENT
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
• Disconnect power at fuse box or circuit breaker before servicing
or installing product.
• Properly ground Tetra®power supply.
RISK OF FIRE
• Minimum 4 in. to side and 1 in. spacing in compartment
surrounding component required.
• Use only approved wire for input/output connection. Minimum
size 18 AWG (0.82 mm2).
• Follow all local codes.
• Application considerations potentially requiring additional
spacing include high ambient temperature seen by the power
supply, poor contact with a heat dissipating material, inadequate
ventilation, or direct exposure to sun.
RISQUES DE DÉCHARGES ÉLECTRIQUES
• Coupez l’alimentation électrique à la boîte de fusibles ou au disjoncteur avant
l’entretien ou l’installation du produit.
• Assurez-vous de correctement mettre à terre le bloc d’alimentation Tetra®.
RISQUES D’INCENDIE
• Minimum 4 po sur le côté et espacement de 1 po dans le compartiment
entourant le composant requis.
• N’utilisez que des ls approuvés pour les entrées/sorties de connexion. Taille
minimum 18 AWG (0.82 mm2).
• Respectez tous les codes locaux.
• Certaines applications pourraient requérir un espacement additionnel, p. ex.
une température ambiante élevée autour du bloc d’alimentation, un mauvais
contact avec une matière dissipatrice de chaleur, une ventilation inadéquate
ou une exposition directe au soleil.
FOR UL ONLY
NOTE: For CSA approval, a disconnect/toggle switch of appropriate rating needs to be placed within 29.5 ft. (9 m) of
primary side of the power supply. The minimum rating of the switch must be either 120 or 220 Volts AC. The switch
must also support twice the amount of input current.
FOR UL ONLY
NOTE: When installing power supply, connect to the appropriate sized building breaker or disconnect device for line
and neutral connections, in accordance with local, state or country regulations.
FOR UL ONLY
NOTE: The grounding and bonding of the power supply and overall sign shall be done in accordance with National
Electric Code (NEC) Article 600.
OPTIONAL
A Weather Box (GEXNWB2) may be used to house and seal Class 2
connections.
A) Insert wire connectors into weather box. Fill with electrical grade
silicone and close box.
B) Secure the weather box using a #6 or #8 (M2 or M3) screw.

This product is intended to be used as a lamp control gear that is installed after the mains control switch.
*Maximum case temperature is 85°C
Symptom Solution
All letters are OFF • Recycle AC power, turn it o, then turn on again.
• If still o, check the power supply DC output voltage using a voltmeter. It should be nominally 24V.
»If there is DC output, inspect and correct all DC wire damage/polarity issues; If no issue is found, replace the
OFF-module string.
»If there is no DC output, have a licensed electrician check the input AC voltage and if there is correct AC voltage,
replace the power supply.
»If there is no AC voltage, correct the upstream AC issue.
Some LEDs appear dim • Ensure the overall length of the Tetra®LED System does not exceed the maximum load.
• Ensure the length of supply wire is equal to or below the recommended remote mounting distance.
Some of the letters
are not illuminated
• Inspect and correct the wires of the non-illuminated letters for damage/polarity issues; If no issues are found, see the
troubleshooting solution for “All letters are OFF.”
Shadows • Re-route supply wire and secure to the back of the can with electrical grade RTV silicone. Adjust wire connector
orientation so that it does not cover any LEDs.
• Adjust LED layout to ensure uniformity of illumination of the face of the letter.
