Installation Notes

• Install in accordance with the IEE wiring regulations and building regulations.
• This product must be installed by a suitably competent person.

Electrical

• Do not connect directly to mains electrical supply.
• Switch the power off at the mains supply before installing or maintaining this fitting.
• Ensure others cannot restore the electrical power supply without your knowledge.
• Ensure the product is in good working condition. If there is visible damage do not use.
• This product must be used with a good quality constant voltage LED driver. Ensure that the voltage output of the driver matches rated voltage of the LED flex.
• Connect the LED flex with correct polarity. Refer to the ‘wiring’ section for help.
• Ensure that the power capacity of the LED driver is greater than the total load of all the LED flex connected to it.
• The LED flex and cable should be protected by a fuse or equivalent device installed between the driver and LED flex and as close to the driver as possible.
• Ensure that the current capacity of cable connecting the LED flex to the driver is greater than the maximum drawn by the LED flex and the cut off of any over-current protection (fuse).

Mechanical

• Do not use the product if damaged. Do not use with worn or damaged wires or components.
• The product will generate heat during use. It should be installed in a well ventilated location on a smooth surface. Fully uncoil the LED flex. Do not cover or conceal.
• The LED flex should be mechanically supported with the recommended mounting accessories.
• Do not hang under its own weight.
• Do not twist, pull or stretch the LED flex. Only bend following the bend direction and minimum bend.
• Protect the LED flex from mechanical damage. Take care not to dislodge any components during installation. Ensure that wires connecting the LED flex cannot be pulled.

Environmental

• The product should be used in an environment where the ambient temperature is between 0°C ~ +45°C.
• The temperature of the LED flex should never exceed 40°C when in operation.
• IP67 LED flex is suitable for indoor and outdoor installation. After cutting and sealing this product is IP65.
• Only install in a location free from chemicals, gases and flammable materials.
• Avoid continuous exposure to UV light.
• Do not install in locations where it is subject to continuous movement

Cutting

TIP : we recommend using a pipe cutter to cut the LED flex. Use one firm press to cut cleanly through.

Mounting / Installation

1. Install mounting channel with countersunk screws. Use appropriate fixings depending on the mounting surface.
2. Ensure that the mounting channel is securely held by the screws.
3. Install the LED flex in the correct position making sure it is properly seated in the mounting channel.
4. Use multiple mounting brackets to achieve bends and shapes with the LED flex.
5. We recommend installation be carried out by at least 2 people.

Wiring & Sealing

1. Cut the LED flex to the required length, cutting only on the marked cut points.
2. Cut off a 4mm section of silicone to expose the copper pads.
3. Solder LED flex and wires together, paying attention to the ‘+’ and ‘-’ markings.
4. Thread end cap over wire. Fill end cap with glue to 1/2 its capacity.
5. Push end cap on over the LED flex. Avoid moving so glue can begin to dry.
6. Apply glue around the opposite end of the LED flex.
7. Push end cap on over the LED flex. Avoid moving while both ends dry.

NOTE : Allow 2-3 hours before handling and 24 hours for the glue to completely dry. Must not be exposed to moisture until the glue has completely dried. Use the correct glue. Do not use bathroom silicone sealant. Once glue has dried, inspect both ends and confirm that the endcap is fully sealed to the LED flex.

WARNING : This product must be installed by a suitably competent person. Check polarity (+/-) is correct before turning on. Incorrect polarity can cause damage to products.
