Product description
PROLED FLEX STRIP EXTENDED 700 allows to make different types of illuminiation
. It can be used for main illumination, for backgroun d illuminiati on,
ambiente illumination etc. as well as inside or outside
Cautions
Please follow below information using Flex Strips
Safety cautions
- Installation only according to local specifications
- Installation only by professional staff
- Use only Class 2 power supplies
- Power supply must have correct voltage. Voltage must correspond to vol tage li sted on Flex Strip
- Use only cables which are specified for more than 80°C
- Use correct dimension of cables. Wrong cables can lead to overheat and eventually result in fire. Cable must be approved for the existing voltage and current
- Use the Flex Str ip only at an ambient temperature of 10 45°C
Installation place
- Do not install the Flex Strip in an overheated ambient, for e xample near a radiator, or in a bad cooling surrounding.
- Do not use the Flex Strip in an aggressive surrounding, fo r example contain ing sulfur, chlorid, brom etc.
- Gas vapour can diffuse through the s ilicon cover and react with the LED surface. Due to this, the light output will be significant lower and a temperature shift can’t be avoided. Further more the resistance will rise, which r esult in higher current.
- Organi c materials, w hi c h contains N, P, S Heavy metals like Sn, PB, Hg, Sb, Bi, As etc.
Installation
-
Check the correct func tion of the Flex Strip, but in unrolled shape , before fixing it . Complains after installation can not be accepted.
-
Switch off the mains supply and secure it again s t switch ing on.
-
Please check if the correct units will be installed, this means that the power supply must have same voltage like the connected Flex Strip.
-
Please check if the power supply has enou gh power , for example to compensate power loss due to long cables a nd if the correct cables are used to minimize voltage loss. It is suggested that the power supply has ca. 20% more power than the connected load.
-
When connecting the cables, please t ake car e about the polarity
-
Adhesive surface must be non conductive. It i s recommended to stick the Flex Strips into anodized aluminium profiles
-
Flex S trip can only be bend sharply at areas with no electronical components. The minimum bending radius is 2 cm. Flex Strip is not allowed to be twisted
-
Installation mus t be m ade on a heat disposal underground , which is adequate dimensioned, to remove the heat of the desired Flex Strip . The underground must be free of greas, oil, silicone, dust and dirt. We suggest Isopropanol for cleaning.
-
Installation on uneven grounding is not suggested as the life time will be shorted and make fixing difficult.
These include wood, plaster board, wallpaper etc. -
Avoid fixing over profile splice. Because of thermal expandi ng or shrinking a damage of Flex Strip can hap pen.
Divide the Flex Strip in this case and use flexible connections, for example wire strap.
Installation steps:
- Remove the protection foil of the adhesive tape
- Place the Flex Strip in the profile and stuck it gently. Do not use any sharp or metallic tools.
- Cut away the not needed part of the Flex Strip, with a scissor, at the marked cutting line.
- Please pay attention, that an already sticked Flex Strip should not be removed again. It is possible that electronical parts or soldering points will break, which isn’t covered by guarantee or warrenty.
- Rest pieces can be used at other project. Only connection cable must be soldered to the Flex Strip.

Soldering of cables at Flex Strip EXTENDED 700
If you have to solder a connection to a Flex Strip EXTENDED 700 , please work according to following steps . Please be advised, t hat correctly sealed end caps have only a IP 54 classification
- Cut the Flex Strip on marked cutting line
- Remove the silicone from the soldering pads Solder the cable correctly . Please take care about correct polarity.
- Cut a hole for power cable into the end cap.
- Move the end cap over the cable
- Pierce the tube outlet with the cap of the sealing glue, for example PROLED L6396.
- Scre w the outlet funnel on the tube
- Cut the funnel diagonally
- Fill the end cap completely with the glue
- Move the end cap over the strip, so that the soldering pads are covered
Caution
Please leave new glued end cap minimum 24 h without movement for drying .
Please be advised, that silicone is not am aintenance free. The glue must be
checked regularly, but at least once a year, and must be replaced if needed.
Fixing of Flex Strips EXTENDED 700
Fixing of Flex Strip EXTENDED 700 is possible with corresponding plastic
clips.
If they cant be used, the Flex S trip EXTENDED 700 must be secured with a
suitable glue Th e existing 3M t ape is only applicable as installation help,
but not for long term fixing.
Following please see examples , how the y can be attached.
ATTENTION
When installing Flex Strip EXTENDED 700 outd oors, thermal expansion and
contraction must be considered. The adhesion must not go continuously over the
entire length , as this prevents c orresponding movements and can lead to the
damaging of the Flex Strip.
Depending on the temperature differences , the expansion or shrinkage can be
up to 1.5 cm/m. This must be taken into a ccount during installation.
Trouble shooting
Following you will see some failu res and their results
Placing of s trip wasn’t made equal over the w hol e length.
Due to this the light output is different on some positions
Supply cable wasn‘t placed correctly.
Shadow of cables is visible on the wall.
ATTENTION
Installation and commissioning may only be performed by qualifie d persons
National installation regulations must be observed.
Lum inaires must be disconnected from mains before any work

of the light source and the containing product leads to irreversible da mage.
Replacing the light source using commonly available tools does not make sense
for this product.
The used l ight source can be removed for testing purposes.
The replacement of the light source is not intended, as this will destroy the
containing produ ct.
Energy efficiency class of the light source:
Products listed in this manual contain a light source of following efficiency
class, listed according to the item codes:
Item code Efficiency class for light source
