INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LINEAR LED STRIP
DRY, DMP, WET Linear LED Strip
ATTENTION: Please read all instructions BEFORE installation
- Product to be installed by a licensed electrician
- Always ensure power supply connection to electrical circuit is disconnected before working on it
- Follow diagram to connect Secondary Voltage wires to power supply. Refer to Q-Tran power supply instructions for wiring
- Use only with Class 2 power supply unit — Compatible for use with Q-Tran power supplies
- Suitable for DRY, DAMP, and WET locations
- Suitable for installation in storage area of a clothes closet when assembled as a finished extrusion up to 4W/ft at Q-Tran facility
- Temp Rating: Refer to cut sheet
- Not rated for walkover
- Input Voltage: 24VDC
- Diagrams for representation only and not to scale.
METHODS OF INSTALLATION:
NOTES:
- Avoid bending in sharp angles which may damage the LED.
- Always test LED operation before installing in extrusion. Connect LED to power supply to ensure it is working properly and all non-factory soldered connections are secure.
- Diagrams for representation only and not to scale.
LED STRIP LEAD WIRE & JUMPER INSTRUCTIONS: DRY IP20 If LED wires are pre- soldered from the factory, skip to page 6.
Measure and cut LED strip to desired length with scissors along the cut point.
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 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 POWER AND BEGIN HEAT SHRINKING INSTRUCTIONS BELOW:
a: Place 1st sleeve (1/2” Shrink Tube ) on lead wire.
b: Shrink the tube with heat gun.
c: Place 2nd sleeve (1” Shrink Tube ) on lead wire.
d: Shrink the tube with heat gun.
NOTES:
- Avoid bending in sharp angles which may damage the LED.
- Always test LED operation before installing in extrusion. Connect LED to power supply to ensure it is working properly and all non-factory soldered connections are secure.
- Diagrams for representation only and not to scale.
LED STRIP LEAD WIRE & JUMPER INSTRUCTIONS: DMP IP54 If LED wires are pre- soldered from the factory, skip to page 6.
Measure and cut LED strip to desired length with scissors along the cut point.
- Carefully peel polyurethane back to expose the solder pads.
Solder lead wire onto solder pad. Confirm postive (+) and negative (-) are
matched up correctly before soldering. BLACK wire is typically negative, RED
wire is typically postive.
NOTE: Recommended soldering iron temperature of 650˚ – 700˚F for lead-
free solder.
NOTE:
Connect LED to power supply to ensure it is working properly and all non-
factory solderedconnections are secure before proceeding with step #3.

b: Shrink the tube with heat gun.
c: Place 2 nd sleeve (1” Shrink Tube ) on lead wire.
d: Shrink the tube with heat gun.
NOTES:
- Avoid bending in sharp angles which may damage the LED.
- Always test LED operation before installing in extrusion. Connect LED to power supply to ensure it is working properly and all non-factory soldered connections are secure.

LED STRIP LEAD WIRE & JUMPER INSTRUCTIONS: WET IP67 If LED wires are pre- soldered from the factory, skip to page 6.
Measure and cut LED strip to desired length with scissors along the cut point.
Solder lead wire onto solder pad. Confirm postive (+) and negative (-) are
matched up correctly before soldering.
BLACK wire is typically negative, RED wire is typically postive.
NOTE: Recommended soldering iron temperature of 650˚ – 700˚F for lead-
free solder.
NOTE:
Connect LED to power supply to ensure it is working properly and all non-
factory solderedconnections are secure before proceeding with step #3.
ONCE ALL CONNECTIONS ARE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, DISCONNECT POWER AND BEGIN HEAT SHRINKING INSTRUCTIONS BELOW:
a: Place lead wire cap over wire
b: Add silicone inside connector and glue around the edge to secure gap; allow
time for glue to dry.
c: Place end cap over the end of LED
d: Add silicone inside connector and glue around the edge to secure gap; allow
time for glue to dry.
NOTES:
• Avoid bending in sharp angles which may damage the LED.
• Always test LED operation before installing in extrusion. Connect LED to
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.
a. Using a 50/50 alcohol mix, thoroughly clean surface area where 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 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.
