Current Snap DS Instruction Manual

Current Snap DS

For those who don’t have time to screw around Tetra®Snap DS — our most innovative cabinet sign solution ever. Snap is a double-sided module that snaps into a screwless aluminum extrusion, allowing module spacing and brightness levels to be customized onthe- fly. Tetra®Snap DS is a one-size- fits-all product for double-sided cabinet signs. Say goodbye to stocking dozens of sticks. Say hello to Tetra®Snap DS.

Bright as a new penny

Tetra® Snap DS modules pump out 400 lumens each, and can be installed at three different spacings, for a maximum 1000 lumens per foot. No other cabinet sign product comes close.

Load ‘em up
Load 33 Tetra® Snap DS modules per 100W power supply, enough to light a single 64” x 80” sign.

One product to rule them all

The most flexible product on the market, Tetra® Snap DS is suitable for cabinets ranging from 10” to well over 36” in depth, all with the same material. You may be wondering what the catch is. But it only gets better. Here’s how to install Snap:

1. Step 1 : Snap modules into extrusion.
2. Step 2 : Install extrusion into sign.
3. Step 3 : Plug in. Enjoy results.

No catch. Tetra® Snap.
