INSTALLATION
- Ensure full access to the location where you are planning to install the flat cable, make sure there are no furniture or other objects that will obstruct the installation area.
- Starting with one end of the strip, remove the adhesive paper (bottom layer) and start applying the flat wire to the surface where it is going to be installed. Images 1 and 2
- Once you have the strip installed you can proceed to install the terminals. Two quick connector adapters are needed, one for each end (not supplied, P/N: VGW2320).
- Open the quick connector adapter door that is on the opposite side of the pre-installed wire terminals and place the flat cable centered on top of the two contacts. The flat cable will go inside the adapter about 5/8″. Before closing the door make sure that the teeth on the adapter are making contact with the flat cable’s conductors. Images 3 and 4
- With slight force, close the door until the side retention tab clicks. Image 5
- You may choose to secure it to the installation surface using double-sided tape (not supplied). Image 6
- Repeat above steps on the other end of the strip.
- You can proceed to prime or paint the flat wire for maximum concealment. Image 7
- A 90-degree quick connector adapter (not supplied, P/N: VGW2390) can be used to change the strip’s trajectory or as a union. If using one, follow the installation procedure described above for P/N: VGW2320, the only difference is that now you must insert two flat cables on the quick connector adapter, one on each end.
