SAFETY & WARNINGS

Please read the instructions before using the product and SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Before using this product make sure you have the right color, product (item
number), and voltage (printed on the product). Check for the possibility of damage during shipping. If damaged, or wrong product, do not use. Disconnect power before
installing or using.
Use only with Class 2 Type power supply. Using any other type of power supply will void the limited warranty.
Use only with LED World’s Class 2 Type power supply.
Disconnect power before installing or servicing (at breaker point).
This product is intended to be installed and serviced by a qualified licensed electrician. Install in accordance with the National Electric Code, and local regulations. The only power with a (listed) constant voltage Class 2 power supply (24V DC).
Never plug into 120V AC. The product requires an optional class 2 Transformer.

• Do not power when rolled. Lighting must be installed in a straight line on a flat surface. Do not curl or twist and roll out completely straight before applying power.

• Only install on smooth flat surfaces free of burrows that are fire retardant.

• The product has adhesive tape on the back. Adhesion can only be made once and the LED strip must fully adhere to the surface (flush). Failure to do this step will damage the product. Rigidly support wires with wire clamps.

• During installation, do not damage the printed circuit. Exposed wires can cause short circuits to damaged products and create a serious hazard. Do not mount in a manner or support LED Strip light in a manner that can damage the outer jacket or cord insulation. Do not install this lighting system where the exposed bare conductors can be shorted or contact any conductive materials. Carefully check that there is no wire cross-over or possibility in the future in the area of installation.

• To reduce the risk of fire and overheating, make sure all connections are tight.

• The product is sold in the maximum length. Do not exceed or extend the length of the roll.

• Only a qualified electrician or engineer can perform installation familiar with low voltage wiring techniques. Correct polarity is imperative (+/- is marked on the printed circuit). Parallel connection only.

• DO NOT install on flammable material or possibility of in the future. Do not install any luminaire closer than 6 inches (15.25 cm) from any curtain, or similar combustible
  materials.

• The light and all its components cannot be mechanically pressed. Never apply to surfaces above 40°C (104°F).

• Voltage must not exceed 24VDC and must be regulated. The Voltage is printed every 7 LEDs. Check that it is the correct voltage before applying power.

• This is not a toy. Keep out of children’s reach.

• Keep Flex-strip spaced ¾” apart if placed next to each other.

• LED Flex Strip is bendable on one flat widest plane. The maximum bend radius is 4 inches (100mm) on one plane (flat).

• Not for use in mission-critical, aircraft, emergency signs, or lifesaving equipment.

• Static electricity can damage LED(s). Handle with care.

• Inspect installation after one hour and thereafter regularly.

• For stationary use only and not subject to possible pressure or movement (or in the future).

• Not for in-wall use.

• Max. The soldering temperature cannot exceed 250°C (482°F) for a max of 4 seconds. Use 22~20 AWG wire to connect.

• Use correct wiring as required by the local electrical code. Use a 20 gauge wire to attach to the strip by solder (2464 type of wire). Connection to a power source may use Wago™ 222-413 in hardwire applications.

• Conductors of extra-low-voltage circuits are rigidly supported.

• Conductors not be installed in contact with combustible materials and not run through walls, ceilings, floors, or partitions, and; Uninsulated conductors not be installed less than 2.2 m (86”) from the floor.

• Do not stare directly into the LED Light. Install LED lighting out of direct sight.

INSTALLATION PLANNING

LED Flex-strip is a versatile lighting product that can provide a superior lighting solution in a variety of applications.
Recommend design steps before starting the installation process:
General questions based on lighting requirements:

• Where will your power supply be located
• How will you switch your LED lighting ON and OFF?
• What is the best layout configuration for your installation with wiring consideration?
• How will you run your wiring to your LED strip lighting?

MOUNTING NOTE

LED Strip is equipped with 3M self-adhesive tape. Mount strips on a clean (no wax/oil), dry, smooth, burrows-free surface. Adhesion can be made once and the LED Strip must fully adhere to the surface.

Use Aluminum profile or aluminum heat sink tape to avoid overheating, ensure proper heat dissipation and extend the life of the LED

WIRING FOR VOLTAGE DROP

Voltage drop is a normal loss of voltage that occurs as power flows along a wire connection in low voltage systems, and increases as the length of a wire connection are increases. Wire length and thickness as well as total light wattage influence the amount of voltage drop.

Recommended maximum wire lengths – 24VDC

Wire Guage (AWG)| 20W| 30W| 50W| 60W| 90W| 100W
20 AWG| 27 FEET| 18 FEET| 11 FEET| 9 FEET| 6 FEET| 5 FEET
18 AWG| 42 FEET| 28 FEET| 17 FEET| 14 FEET| 9 FEET| 8 FEET
16 AWG| 67 FEET| 45 FEET| 27 FEET| 22 FEET| 15 FEET| 13 FEET

WATTAGE CALCULATION

The LED Flex Strips have a label on each roll that indicates the voltage and wattage. You must have the correct Class 2 Power Supply (Transformer) for the LED Strip model. To calculate the wattage, measure the total length of the LED Strip in your run multiplied by the wattage of the LED Strip. Remember that a power source should only operate at a maximum of 80% of its rated capacity.
For example : 10 feet of FC266M20-XM-24V-X x 4.2W = 42 Watts
Never Extend the Length of rolls. Rolls are sold in their max length.

LAYOUT OPTIONS

Note: Always check the Wattage of your LED Strip or Fixture.Power Supply Wattage x 0.8 = Available Wattage

CUTTING AND CONNECTING

STEP 1: Turn Off power at the breaker.
STEP 2: Cut the LED Strip about 2 inches longer than the required length.

STEP 3: Peel the extra-length Silicone cover and look for cut-marks on the strip inside.

STEP 4: Make sure to cut the Strip at cut-mark only. Carefully check.

STEP 5: Solder the 2464 low voltage wire to contact points if extending the length and use the provided end-cap with the holes. Check the polarity. For End of the run use the end-cap without the holes. Use with RTV type 108 silicone glue to seal with the end cap.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Polarity marks must match ((+) to(+) and (-) to (-))otherwise, the strip will not work
Seal with RTV type 108 silicone glue rated for use with electric wiring

TROUBLESHOOTING

The tape light strip does not light

• Make sure your power supply is turned on and has the correct voltage.
• Confirm you have the correct polarity (+ to + and – and -) throughout the run of LED Lighting.
• Have an electrician check all connections and any switch or dimmer connections from the power supply to the LED Light Strips.
• Consider testing with a multimeter to ensure the light strip is receiving 24V power.

LED Flex Strip lights to blink on, then go off

• The power supply is not adequate for the length of LED Light Strips you are powering. Install an adequate Class 2 power supply.

LEDs farthest from the power supply are noticeably dimmer

• This is the result of a voltage drop. Decrease the length of the 24V power feed or use thicker power feed wires between the 24V power supply and the lighting strips.

IMPORTANT!
It is recommended to mount on an aluminum channel or use the included clip to install on surfaces. Check the website for more details
IMPORTANT!

NOTE: Our LED Strip has a female end connector at one end. Cut end connector if soldering is required. Do not connect to another LED Strip. The LED Strip is sold in its maximum length to connect to a Class 2 power supply.
