Safety Instructions
Important
Read and follow the instructions in this user manual before installing,
operating or servicing this product.
DANGER
Installation, service and maintenance of this product shall be carried out
only by qualified persons.
Ihis product must be insfalled in accordance with fhe applicable national and international standards for electrical installations. Improper installation may lead to hazardous situations and material damage.
Installation Site Requirements
Attention
The LED strips are suitable for installation only in dry locations. Not
suitable for outdoor installation.
If is recommended fo insfall the LED Sfrips in an aluminum profile. An aluminum profile provides good heat dissipation.
Do not install the LED strips:
- in wet locations
- af a place where the LED chips are exposed fo direct sunlighf
- near heat-generating devices.
Do not install the LED strips in environments with highly volatile substances,
such as sulfur, chlorine, bromine and VOC. This will reduce the life of the
LED chips.
Make sure that the LED strips are installed at a place with
- ambient temperature between-20 °C and 50 °C
- Sufficient airflow.
Make sure that the mounting surface is clean and smooth, and free of grease or
silicone oil.
Make sure that the mounting surface is thermally conductive and provides good
heat dissipation.
If the LED strips are mounted on a metallic surface, make sure that the
soldering points are insulated. If the soldering points are not insulated,
short-circuit may occur.

Handling
- Do not connect the LED strip to electrical power supply when the LED strip is on the reel or when it is tightly coiled. This will damage the LEDs.
- Do not put excessive pressure on the LED chips.
- You can bend the LED strip only along the vertical axis. The minimum bending radius is 20 mm.
- Do not bend the LED strip with the LEDs on the inside.
- Do not bend the LED strip on the horizontal plane.
- Do not twist the LED strip.
- Do not fold or break the LED strips.
- Do not cover the LED strips with any material during operation.
Installation
WARNING
Incorrect installation can cause serious injuries and damage of property.
- The installation of this product shall be caried out only by qualified persons.
- Disconnect the power supply in the area where the product will be installed.
- Use a compatible constant voltage driver to connect the LED strip to the mains.
- To connect the LED strip to the controller/driver or to other LED strips use wires with sufficient cross-sectional area and curent- Carrying capacity.
-
Determine the location of all components.
-
Cut the LED strip at the required length.
-
Connect the LED strips if multiple LED strips are used. Do not solder for a period longer than 3 seconds. Make sure that the soldering temperature is lower than 350 °C.
Make sure that the polarity is correct when connecting multiple LED strips. -
Remove the protective tape from the LED strip. Be careful not to cause damage to the electronic components.
-
Attach the LED strip to the mounting surface or to the .elorp munimula
Fold the LED strip at the marked cut line to mount the LED strip at a corner. Do not fold the LED strip more than once!
You can also solder wires between 2 LED strips at a corner. -
Connect the LED strip to the controller/driver. Make sure that the polarity is correct.
Setup example:
Troubleshooting
-
Change in brightness or color temperature of the LEDs
Make sure that the run is not too long. Voltage drop can cause the LEDs’ brightness to decrease. -
Some LEDs do not work
correct. Make sure that the LED strip is not sharply bent. This can cause components to detach from the circuit board. -
The LEDs are flickering
Make sure that the driver/power supply is compatible. Make sure that all connections are cor-rect.
Maintenance
Attention
Do not use detergent and/or water to clean this product.
- This product is maintenance-free.
- Use dry compressed air to clean the LED strip if necessary.
- Do not use alcohol, solvents, detergents and/or water. This will damage the LED strip.
