The installaon
Hi-Lite™ 30 installaons (see sample layout below) are made up from a number
of standard secons (1), connected end to end. A Field Adjustable Secon (2) is
usually fied at the end of each connuous run and is cut to size at the me of
installaon to exactly fit the structure.
Pre-terminated connecon cables (4) connect the Hi-Lite™ 30 secons to the
power supply (3), and are also used to bridge gaps around other signage or building
features. When the electrical connecon must connue aer an adjustable secon
(for example around a corner), a ‘Y’ connecon splier (5) is used together with a
connecon cable. Blanking plugs (6) must be fied to any unused connectors at
the end of tube runs.

The components
Hi-Lite™ 30 tubes are available in 2.4m (7’10½”) standard lengths and 2.4m
(7’10½”) and 1.2m (3’11¼”) Field Adjustable Secons. Most installaons are made
up from a number of standard secons, followed by a Field Adjustable Secon cut
to size during installaon.
Hi-Lite™ 30 standard secon (above) and
Field Adjustable Secon (right)
Standard secons feature a connector at each end and can be connected together
in a simple daisy-chain configuraon. Field Adjustable Secons have a connector
at one end only, and once cut to length the remaining poron is discarded.
The Hi-Lite™ 30 system also includes a range of IP-rated power supply units, as
well as connecon cables, ‘Y’ adapters, clips and connector blanking plugs.

The installaon (connued)
1. Mounng clips must be installed
along a perfectly straight line. Clips installed
o-centre will pull the Hi-Lite™ 30 secon out of alignment.
Snap a chalk line on the mounng surface to use as a guide. Posion
a clip 50-70mm (2”-2¾”) from the end of each Hi-Lite™ 30 secon and at least every
400mm (1’3¾”) along each length.
2. On horizontal installs, clips must be
installed with the spring part of the clip to
the boom edge. The groove along the rear
of the clip indicates the centre line of the
Hi-Lite™ 30 tube once installed. Use fixings
with head diameter between 7mm (0.3”)
and 9mm (0.35”).
3. Two types of clip are supplied. A high-
fricon clip should be used in the centre of
the secon. This clip features a rubber ‘O’
ring to increase the grip on the tube, thereby
locking it in posion. Only one high-fricon
clip must be used per secon.

6. If the secon is the end of the electrical
circuit, a connector blanking plug (supplied
with power supply) MUST be fied to the
unused connector. Failure to fit the blanking
plug may allow water to penetrate the
system, which will cause the CSC safety
device to remove power.
7. Hook the Hi-Lite™ 30 tube secon into the
top of the clip as shown, then rotate down
unl the boom edge clips into place. Ensure
the tube is properly located in the clip and
that no wires are trapped. A ‘click’ should be
heard when the tube is located correctly.
8. Hi-Lite™ 30 tube secon clipped in place,
with the cable posioned ready to connect
to the next secon.
9. Connect the next tube, looping the cable
around in the rear channel. Once again
leave a loop of cable to allow for thermal
movement.
10. In order to maintain weather sealing
connecons must be properly made. When
connected correctly the two halves will
be locked together and will not pull apart
without first releasing the locking tab.
Connectorblankingplug
11. Viewed from the rear of the tube, the
connecon is hidden within the rear channel.
When fixing the second secon, check
carefully that the cables are not trapped and
sit freely between the tube and the clips.

14. ‘Y’ splier adapters can be used with
Field Adjustable Secons to enable the
electrical circuit to connue (around corners
for example). The ‘Y’ adapter can be hidden
behind the tube in the same way as a
standard connecon.
15. If a connecon cable needs to be
shortened, this can be done using two 3M
Scotchlok gel-filled pigtail connectors, such
as type UY2. The completed connecon can
be hidden in the tube channel as shown.

12. DO NOT bu secons up together.
Doing so will cause the secons to bend in
warm weather. Leave 10-15mm (0.4”-0.6”)
gap for thermal expansion. In very cold
weather a larger gap may be required.
If the Hi-Lite™ 30 secons are installed at a
2.4m (7’10½”) pitch, the required expansion
gaps will automacally be present.

5. With the tube secon held
vercally, use strong tape to hold the
end-cap in posion. Wait for at least
15mins before handling the tube
further or moving it from the vercal
posion. The secon can be fied
aer 30mins.

The installaon – Field Adjustable Secons
Only Field Adjustable Secons can be cut to size. Standard secons are NOT
adjustable. Do not aempt to cut a Hi-Lite™ 30 Field Adjustable Secon in wet
weather. No warranty is provided on water damaged Field Adjustable Secons.
1. Field Adjustable Hi-Lite™ 30 tubes can be
cut at specific locaons approximately every
50mm (2”). To locate a cut posion shine a
torch (or smart phone with torch funcon)
from the face side. Cut posions will be seen
as a row of three bright dots along the rear
of the tube. Mark the required cut posion.
2. Field Adjustable secons must be cut from
the connector end only. The poron cut o
without a connector is scrap and cannot be
used. Cut through the Hi-Lite™ 30 secon
at your mark using a hacksaw fied with a
fine-toothed blade. Use a mitre box to ensure
a clean, square cut.
3. Remove any burrs and foreign material
from the cut end. Ensure the cut is clean and
square (sand if necessary). The end-cap will
not form a weatherproof seal to an uneven
face. Before fing the field end-cap, push
the cut circuit board into the tube as far as
it will go.

4. Apply a generous, connuous bead of
SCIGRIP 16 to both the end-cap and the
cut end of the Hi-Lite™ 30 secon. Do not
substute any alternave adhesive or
sealant. Use SCIGRIP 16 in a well venlated
area, following the safety instrucons on
the tube.

The installaon – Current Sense Circuit (CSC) operaon
The Current Sense Circuit (CSC) is an integral part of the PSU. Its funcon is to
connuously monitor the installaon and remove the low-voltage supply should
a fault be detected. Whilst it is primarily a safety feature, it can also assist in
troubleshoong.
The CSC has a status LED which indicates the current state of the circuit. On
the standard 240W supply there is an LED for each output channel. The CSC is a
sophiscated electronic device which takes a number of complex measurements
from the system in order to recognise fault condions.
It is not necessary to understand the detailed funcons of the operaon algorithms
in order to successfully install or troubleshoot a Hi-Lite™ installaon, however a
descripon of the CSC and its operaon is set out below for informaon.
Operaon
During normal operaon the CSC connuously and automacally performs tests
on the DC supply to the Hi-Lite™ installaon. Should a fault be detected the DC
output is switched o. Once this has occurred, a series of aempts to reinstate the
DC supply are made at intervals increasing from 1 second to 1 hour.
Should any re-try be successful, the DC output is switched on and the CSC enters
a back-o mode. Whilst in this back-o mode the re-try period that will be applied,
should a further fault be detected, is slowly reduced back to 1 second.
Should the fault sll be present aer the full retry cycle (around 5 hours), the CSC
enters an abort mode. Once in this mode, no further retries are made and the
status LED flashes red.
When a fault is detected, the status LED pulses a number of mes rates to indicate
the type of fault. The table below lists these faults.
Pulse rao Fault indicated
2 pulses Start-up impedance test failure
3 pulses Current monitor failure
4 pulses Run-me impedance test failure
5 pulses Reserved
6 pulses Run-me voltage test failure
7 pulses Start-up voltage test failure
8 pulses Over-current

Page8 Hi-Lite™30LEDcontourtubespecicaon&installaon v6 – June 2021
Possible causes for each fault type are:
2 pulses: Start-up impedance test failure
The system has detected a low resistance across the output before it has applied
power. This can be caused by a faulty or damaged tube secon, badly made
connecons between secons or water inside the connectors.
3 pulses: Current monitoring failure
The system has detected fluctuaons in current in the installaon. This is usually
caused by a faulty or damaged tube secon or a badly made connecon between
secons.
4 pulses: Run-me impedance test failure
Similar to 2 pulses, but this test is carried out at 10 second intervals during normal
operaon.
6 pulses: Run-me voltage test failure
This test is carried out at 10 second intervals during normal operaon and a failure
indicates either a faulty or damaged tube secon (usually with water ingress, or
the connectors contain trapped water).
7 pulses: Start-up voltage test failure
Similar to 6 pulses, but this test is carried out at start-up, before power is applied.
8 pulses: Over-current failure
The load exceeds the maximum allowed. Reduce the load on the output channel.
Should the mains input to the PSU be cycled once the CSC is in the abort mode, the
CSC first aempts a power-up. If this is successful, normal operaon resumes and
the CSC enters its connuous monitoring mode once again.

The installaon – PSU loadings
All IP-rated power supply units feature twin outputs. On 20W, 40W and 96W
supplies, these outputs are internally connected in parallel so Hi-Lite™ 30 secons
can be connected in any combinaon.
For example, all the secons can be connected to only one output, or they can be
split in any combinaon across the outputs.
240W power supplies feature two independent outputs, each capable of delivering
up to 120W. If any power supply outputs are not used, be sure to fit a blanking plug
to the unused connector.
