Disconnect power before installing or servicing (at breaker point).
This product is intended to be installed and serviced by a qualified licensed electrician. Install in accordance with the National Electric Code, and local regulations. Only power with a (listed) constant voltage Class 2 power supply (24V DC).
Never plug into 120V AC. The product requires a optional class 2 Transformer.

• Do not power when rolled. Lighting must be installed in a straight line on a flat surface. Do not curl or twist and roll out completely straight before applying power.
• Only install on smooth flat surfaces free of burrows that are fire retardant.
• Rigidly support wires with wire clamps.
• During installation, do not damage the printed circuit. Exposed wires can cause short circuit damaging product and creating a serious hazard. Do not mount in a manner or support LED Strip light in a manner that can damage the outer jacket or cord insulation. Do not install this lighting system where the exposed bare conductors can be shorted or contact any conductive materials. Carefully check that there is no wire cross-over or possibility in the future in area of installation.
• To reduce the risk of fire and overheating, make sure all connections are tight.
• Product is sold in the maximum length. Do not exceed or extend the length of the roll.
• Only qualified electrician or engineer can perform installation familiar with low voltage wiring techniques. Correct polarity is imperative (+/- is marked on printed circuit). Parallel connection only.
• DO NOT install on flammable material or possibility of in the future. Do not install any luminaire closer than 6 inches (15.25 cm) from any curtain, or similar combustible materials.
• The light and all its components cannot be mechanically pressed. Never apply to surface above 40°C (104°F).
• Voltage must not exceed 24VDC and must be regulated. Check that it is the correct voltage before applying power.
• This is not a toy. Keep out of children’s reach.
• Keep Flex strip spaced ¾” apart if placing next to each other.
• LED Flex Strip is flexible on horizontal axis.
• Not for use in mission critical, aircraft, emergency signs or lifesaving equipment.
• Static electricity can damage LED(s). Handle with care.
• Inspect installation after one hour and thereafter regularly.

• Not for in-wall use.
• Max. Soldering temperature cannot exceed 250°C (482°F) for a max of 4 seconds. Use 22~20 AWG wire to connect.
• Use correct wiring as required by local electrical code. Use a 20 gauge wire to attach to strip by solder (2464 type of wire). Connection to power source may use Wago™ 221-413 in hardwire applications.
• Cable lighting systems not be installed in bathrooms.
• Conductors of extra-low-voltage circuits be rigidly supported.
• Conductors not be installed in contact with combustible materials and not run through walls, ceilings, floors or partitions, and; Uninsulated conductors not be installed less than 2.2 m (86″) from the floor.
• Do not stare directly into the LED Light. Install LED lighting out of direct sight.

INSTALLATION PLANNING

LED Flexstrip is a versatile lighting product that can provide a superior lighting solution in a variety of applications.
Recommend design steps before starting the installation process:
General questions based on lighting requirements:

• Where will your power supply be located
• How will you switch your LED lighting ON and OFF?
• What is the best layout configuration for your installation with wiring consideration?
• How will you run your wiring to your LED strip lighting?

WATTAGE CALCULATION

The LED Flex Strips have a label on each roll that indicates the voltage and wattage. You must have the correct Class 2 Power Supply (Transformer) for LED Strip model. To calculate the wattage, measure the total length of LED Strip in your run multiplied by the wattage of the LED Strip. Remember that a power source should only operate at a maximum 80% of it’s rated capacity.

For example : 10 feet of QL-F2216C150SA-X-24-M x 3.7W = 37 Watts

Never Extend the Length of rolls. Rolls are sold in there max length.

WIRING FOR VOLTAGE DROP

Voltage drop is normal loss of voltage that occurs as power flows along a wire connection in a low voltage systems, and increases as the length of a wire connection is increased. Wire length and thickness as well as total light wattage influence the amount of voltage drop.

Recommended maximum wire lengths – 24VDC

Wire Guage (AWG)| 20W| 30W| 50W| 60W| 90W| 100W
20 AWG| 13 FEET| 9 FEET| 5 FEET| 4 FEET| 3 FEET| 3 FEET
18 AWG| 21 FEET| 14 FEET| 8 FEET| 7 FEET| 5 FEET| 4 FEET
16 AWG| 34 FEET| 22 FEET| 13 FEET| 11 FEET| 7 FEET| 7 FEET

CUTTING AND CONNECTING

STEP 1: Turn Off power at the breaker.
STEP 2: Cut the LED Strip about 2 inch longer than required length.

STEP 3: Peel the extra length Silicone cover and look for cut-marks on the strip inside.

STEP 4: Make sure to cut the Strip at cut-mark only. Carefully check. STEP 5: Solder the 2464 low voltage wire to contact points if extending the length and use the provided end-cap with the holes. Check the polarity. For End of run use end-cap without the holes. Use with RTV type 108 silicone glue to seal with end cap.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Polarity marks must match ((+) to(+) and (-) to (-)) otherwise strip will not work

Seal with RTV type 108 silicone glue rated for use with electric wiring

TROUBLESHOOTING

Tape light strip does not light

• Make sure your power supply is turned on and has the correct voltage.
• Confirm you have the correct polarity (+ to + and – and -) throughout the run of LED Lighting.
• Have a electrician check all connections and any switch or dimmer connections from the power supply to the LED Light Strips.
• Consider testing with a multimeter to ensure light strip is receiving 24V power.

LED Flex Strip lights blink on, then go off

• The power supply is not adequate for the length of LED Light Strips you are powering. Install a adequate Class 2 power supply.

LEDs farthest from the power supply are noticeably dimmer

• This is the result of voltage drop. Decrease the length of the 24V power feed or use thicker power feed wires between the 24V power supply and the lighting strips.

IMPORTANT !

It is recommended to mount No Spotting LED Strip into 13 mm U channel PVC profile or use the included clip to install on surfaces.

IMPORTANT !

NOTE: Our LED Strip has female end connector at the one end. Cut end connector if soldering is required . Do not connect to another LED Strip. The LED Strip is sold in its maximum length to connect to a Class 2 power supply.
