Q-TRAN DW-HE24-1.5 Dynamic White High Efficacy Linear LED Strip

Product Information

Product Name: Linear LED Strip
IP Rating: Dry IP20, DMP IP54, Wet IP67
Compliance: Compliant with regulations
Warranty: 5 years
Buy American Act: Supported

Product Usage Instructions

Methods of Installation:

Adhesive Mount: Use VHB Tape included on the backside of the strip to mount it on the desired surface (not rated for walkover floor)
Ceiling Installation: Mount the strip on the ceiling using adhesive or silicone (sold separately)
Wall Installation: Mount the strip on the wall using adhesive or silicone (sold separately)

LED Strip Lead Wire & Jumper Instructions (Dry IP20 and DMP IP54):

Measure and cut the LED strip to the desired length along the designated cut point
Solder the lead wire onto the solder pad of the strip. Make sure to match the wires correctly before soldering. Refer to the wiring diagrams for specific light engine details.
If LED wires are pre-soldered from the factory, skip to the next step
Connect the LED strip to a power supply to ensure it is working properly and all non-factory soldered connections are secure
Once all connections are functioning properly, disconnect the power and proceed with heat-shrinking instructions
To heat shrink, place the provided shrink tubes on the lead wire and use a heat gun to shrink the tubes

Important Notes:

For Wet IP67 installation, refer to page 6 of the manual
Make sure to perform surface preparation before installation
Once a damp strip is cut, it cannot be reconnected

LED STRIP LEAD WIRE & JUMPER INSTRUCTIONS: DRY IP20 If LED wires are pre- soldered from the factory

LED STRIP LEAD WIRE & JUMPER INSTRUCTIONS: DRY IP20 If LED wires are pre-soldered from the factory, skip to page 6.
Solder lead wire onto solder pad. Confirm wires are matched up correctly before soldering. See wiring diagrams below for specific light engine details.
NOTE : Recommended soldering iron temperature of 650˚ – 700˚F for lead- free solder.
NOTE:
Connect LED to a power supply to ensure it is working properly and all non- factory soldered connections are secure before proceeding with step #3. ONCE ALL CONNECTIONS ARE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, DISCONNECT THE POWER AND BEGIN HEAT SHRINKING INSTRUCTIONS BELOW:
- a: Place 1st sleeve (1/2” Shrink Tube ) on the lead wire.
- b: Shrink the tube with the heat gun.
- c: Place 2nd sleeve (1” Shrink Tube ) on lead wire.
- d: Shrink the tube with a heat gun.

NOTES:

Avoid bending in sharp angles which may damage the LED.
Always test LED operation before installing in extrusion. Connect LED to a power supply to ensure it is working properly and all non-factory soldered connections are secure.

LED INSERTION FOR IN-FIELD ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

STRIP IN EXTRUSION

Using a 50/50 alcohol mix throughly clean, the surface of the extrusion and the multi-tray surface. Allow time to dry (about 5 minutes).
Gently place LED in extrusion/tray. Apply firm pressure to the bonding surface. This will reduce the chances of dust and debris from contaminate adhesive. The smallest amount of exposed adhesive is the best case
Flat Lenses: Apply uniform pressure until the extrusion and lens snap securely together.
Optical Lenses: Starting from one end of the extrusion, slide the lens into the grooved lip of the extrusion until secured in place.
Add glue inside the end cap and glue around edges to secure end cap in place. Do not allow glue to come in contact with LED.

SURFACE MOUNTING METHOD

SURFACE PREPARATION

Temperature and environmental concerns:
- Ideal application environment is 70-100ºF in 50% humidity or less.
- Minimum application temperature: 50ºF
- This temperature and humidity should be maintained for 72 hours after application for maximum bond strength.
For porous materials (Wood, Brick, Concrete etc.) apply two layers of paint or primer to the surface. This will help create a better bonding surface for these materials. These can be purchased from a local hardware store.

Strong Stik

a. Using a 50/50 alcohol mix, thoroughly clean the surface area where the LED will be installed. Allow 5 minutes to dry.
b. Peel back 0.5″ of the VHB tape’s protective film on one end of the LED and use firm pressure to adhere it to the desired surface, avoiding air bubbles. Continue peeling the film and adhering the strip in small sections until the entire length is installed.
