TRAN LED FLEX Light Square
Cautions
- Follow the electrical safety regulations of the country, and make sure that the products are installed and maintained by qualified electrician.
- Before making any installation, maintenance or connection, be sure the mains are disconnected.
- Please operate the light by instructions, and ensure the working voltage meets product requirement.
- Construction of underwater projects shall comply with NEC 680 regulation, and designated accessories are required for installation.
- Water contact are prohibited for wiring and installation of devices.
- The products are only applicable in sea or fresh water, they shall not be used in hot water such as therapeutic pools, hot tubs, spas, etc., nor in any corrosive liquid.
- Cable junction box must be kept on the shore and above the ground at least 4″.
- Do not energize the light over 30 minutes in coil packaging.
- Do not cut, renovate, and dismantle the light .
Installation Position – Surface, embedded
Requirement for Installation Surface
Hard and flat base surface is required such as cement, brick masonry, marble, ceramic tiles or mosaic tiles, and so on. In the case of embedded installation, the bottom of slot in which the profiles are fixed should also be flat.
Fixing Method
Screw fixation
NOTES: • Field modifications must comply with
Q-Tran’s installation methods otherwise warranty is null and void
Adhesive Fixation
-
Step 1:
Mark the position where the profile should be fixed on base first, and then clean the debris on the base and on the bottom of plastic profile. -
Step 2:
Apply the anti-chlorine waterproof adhesive evenly on the marked surface and the bottom of plastic profile.
-
Step 3:
Press the profile onto the base with adhesive, and wait for 24 hours until the profile is completely bonded on base. -
Step 4:
Press the fixture into the slot of plastic profile from one end to another end by palm orderly.
Comparison of Two Fixing Methods
SCREW FIXATION
ADVANTAGES
|
• Reliable installation, not easy to loose and less material cost
DISADVANTAGES
| • Professional tools are required, installers should be experienced
• Installation process is relatively complicated
ADHESIVE FIXATION
ADVANTAGES
|
• No professional tool is needed and construction process is simple
DISADVANTAGES
|
• Cost is relatively high, ageing and loosening of adhesive sometimes occur
Curve Installation
- Put the short plastic profiles in auxiliary material table on the mounting surface in sequence to form an arc required, and fix them through screw fixation or adhesive fixation method.
- Put the light into the joined plastic profile to complete installation of light.
CAUTIONS
- a. The minimum bending diameter of lights should not be smaller than 11.81″.
- b. The light can only be bended in the direction lasered on the light body (which shall be known prior to purchasing).
- c. The nearest distance between 1.5″ short mounting profiles shall not be larger than 0.79″.
- d. Be sure to use standard 1.5″ short mounting profiles. Site cutting would create sharp edges which would damage light or lead to wounding.
Cautions
- a. Ambient installation temperature shall not be lower than 32°F, because the light can be easily damaged when unpacking or bending it in the cold environment
- b. Confirm the followings before unpacking:
- Only the light with UL676 mark can be installed underwater.
- Rated voltage is DC24V
Swimming Pool Installation
REGULATIONS
In accordance with the requirements of NEC680 regulation in the United States,
when an illumination light is installed in the swimming pool, the distance
from the bottom of the terminal box to the ground shall be no less than 4
inches. The vertical distance to the water surface of the swimming shall not
be less than 8 inches, and the horizontal distance to the water edge of the
swimming pool shall not be less than 48 inches.
REQUIREMENT FOR POWER SUPPY
Please use only an isolating low voltage power supply with ungrounded output,
evaluated for swimming pool use.
Fundamental Construction
For swimming pool, the embedded installation is
strongly suggested so as to secure the swimmers’ safety and avoid the damage
to lights, so a slot for implanting profiles should be prepared on mounting
surface first, suggested slot sizes: 0.95” in width, 0.98” in depth.
All the fundamental constructions, including the installation of junction box
and switch, cable bushing and laying, the digging of slots, etc., should be
done before the light installation.
Screw Fixation Installation
MATERIALS
- FLS-NONL-PL Plastic profile
- ø6*30 rubber expansion bolt
- M4*30 stainless steel screw
- Cut off the power supply for lights to avoid any electrical shock or casualty, and remember to keep the power off during the whole period of installation.
- Use plastic profile as a tool to mark the hole positions in the bottom of slots prepared in fundamental construction as per the positions of screw holes in the plastic profile, with interval of 7.87″
- Punch holes with a ø0.24″ percussion bit on the marked positions, at depth of 1.38″, and always keep the axial line of the holes vertical with the bottom of the slot.
- Drive the ø6*30 rubber expansion bolt into the punched hole..
- Fix plastic profile with M4*30 stainless steel screw.
- Unpack and take out the light, and press it into the plastic profile from one end to another end of profile orderly by palm with lighting surface outwards.
- Connect the light with the power supply or controller/dimmer.
- Check wiring carefully according to planed diagram to ensure no mistakes happen.
- Turn on the switch to test the lights.
- After confirmation of the whole connection, clean the site, and fill water into the swimming pool until normal working level under supervision of professional construction and electrical personnel, and check if the light works normally. Turn on and off the lights 3-5 times and observe if there’s any abnormality. The controller should also be checked if involved.
The installation will be completed only when the switches, controllers and lights are all in good working state.
Other Installation Cases
Referring to the above installation guidance of swimming pool, the primary procedures include:
- Read the user manual carefully, and remember the relevant safety clauses included.
- Make the installation plan, such as wiring diagram, selection of power supply and controller, wire gauge and length, etc.
- Installation:
- Mounting Position: surface or embedded
- Fixation Method: screw or adhesive
- Installation Procedure:
- Mark the places where the profiles should be fixed
- Fix plastic profiles through screw or adhesive
- Put lights into mounting profiles properly
- Connect light with power supply
- Check, power on and test.
- Clear the site.
Troubleshooting
| TROUBLE | SOLUTION |
|---|
Brightness and Color Temperature Drift
|
• Check if the wiring cable is too thin in conductor section or too long in length.
• Check if the line has other abnormal voltage drop, and if terminal voltage is lower than 22.5V.
Some LED light sources are dark
|
• Check if light is over bended which results in damage of inner circuit.
Light flickers abnormally
|
• Check if power supply and dimmer are selected properly.
• Check if connection of route is in poor contact state.
Light is on and off repeatedly
|
• Check if driver is overloaded and if the terminal voltage is lower than 22.5V.
NOTES: • Field modifications must comply with Q-Tran’s installation
methods otherwise warranty is null and void
