Monochrome Tube Wiring
Note

  1. This Flex Tube must be used in conjunction with 24 VDC power supply
  2. Always observe proper polarity
  3. Ensure to add 20% buffer when sizing power supply
  4. Ensure that the power cable carried current is no greater than 80% of it‘s capacity
  5. To minimize voltage drop and keep light consistency, position power supply nearest to the power feed end of Flex Tube and keep the power line as short as possible.PROLED L37400x2G Flex Tube Side View Mono 2G 32

Note
Max. Length per power input: Indoor (constant temperature) single end max. 15 m, double end max. 30 m.
Outdoor (because of temperature fluctuations and different thermal expansion coefficients of the materials) max. 7m

Troubleshooting

Please refer to the user manual for troubleshooting guidelines.
The whole tube doesn’t work.
Check power supply is plugged in, switched on and receiving power.
Check all tube, dimmer or controller connections, connection from the power supply to flex tube.
Check polarity of all wire connections.
Make sure power supply output voltage is 24V DC.
Check front connector is inserted into backside of PCB and properly assembled.
Light emitting appear dim or dull at one end

Check whether the output voltage of the power supply is lower than that of tube.
Adjust the dimming level to the maximum
Power from both ends or shorten tube length to prevent voltage drop.
Light emitting appear excessive brightness.
Check whether the output voltage of power supply is higher than that of tube.
Check whether the power grid is stable.
If the first segment doesn’t work.
Cut not in indicated cutting line or not in a straight line. Cut out and remove the first segment.
Damage caused to the first LED when inserting the front connector to the right side of PCB. Cut out the first segment and properly assemble connector.
Water ingress due to poor connector assembly could cause a short circuit of first segment. Replace length with a new one. External impact damage inside LEDs. Only use your hands to install flex tube into aluminum profile.
Flex tube is flashing on and off.
Check the power supply to ensure it supports the length you are using. Select the appropriate strength or install an additional power supply to support your installation.
Check power supply output voltage is stable.
Check front connector is properly installed with good contact with the copper PCB.
Check proper controller is connected for tube working.
