BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Prepare Electrical Wiring

Tetra® MAX Wet Location Installation Guide

Tips

• For optimal light uniformity in halo-lit applications the Tetra® LED modules should be mounted on UL recognized plastic

and the light output from the Tetra® LED system should be directed back into the sign enclosure. This will allow for

uniform backlighting of the sign and will provide simple mounting for the Tetra® LED system.

• A best practice for the supply wire at the point at which it is brought into the sign is to have a drip loop on the inside of

the letter to keep water from collecting on the Tetra® LED strip.

• These products are not required to be enclosed or protected from weather.

WARNING / AVERTISSEMENT

Measure and cut Tetra LED

strip to the appropriate

length for each letter. Cuts

can be made between any of

the modules.

Remove tape backing and

stick LED modules into place.

Continue until you have

reached the end of the strip.

Clean and remove all debris

from the inside of the channel

letter. Replace sign face.

Drill a 1/4” (6.4 mm) hole

near the LED strip and

grommet the hole for supply

wire access.

Use rivets, screws, or silicone

to secure at least every

fifth LED module within the

channel letter. Use #6 (M3)

or #8 (M4) pan headed metal

screws, 1/8-inch (3.2 mm)

rivets, or silicone.

Clean and remove all debris

from the inside of the channel

letter before you begin.

NOTE: For halo-lit applications LED modules should be mounted on UL

recognized clear acrylic or polycarbonate. The light output from the LED

system should be directed back into the sign enclosure. This will allow

for uniform backlighting of the sign and will provide simple mounting.

1. (Existing Signs Only) Prior to installation, survey the site for information regarding power and accessibility inside and outside the building. Ensure

that the branch circuit supplying the existing transformer or ballast will be within the voltage ratings of the new LED power supply, and have a current

rating not exceeding 20A, or that permitted by applicable local, state, or country electrical codes (whichever is less).

2. (Existing Signs Only) Remove the existing lighting equipment to be replaced, such as neon tubing or fluorescent tubes; and associated

transformers and ballasts. Care should be taken not to break the existing neon or fluorescent tubes.

NOTE: Follow all federal and local regulations when disposing of neon tubing, fluorescent tubes, transformers and ballasts.

3. (Existing Signs Only) If removal of the existing lighting equipment eliminates the disconnect switch, as required by applicable local, state, or

country electrical codes; a new disconnect switch must be installed.

4. (Existing Signs Only) Repair and seal any unused openings in the electrical enclosure. Openings greater than 12.7-mm (1/2-in) diameter require a

metal patch secured by screws or rivets and caulked with non-hardening caulk. Smaller openings may be sealed with non-hardening caulk.

5. (Existing Signs Only) A clean and dry mounting surface ensures optimum adhesion if the self-adhesive method of mounting is chosen. Follow

the manufacturer’s directions when using a non-oil based solvent, such as rubbing alcohol to clean the surface area where you intend to mount the

module. Before installing, ensure the surface is dry.

6. Using the layout guidelines above, determine required number of LED modules required to illuminate the sign.

7. A Tetra® 12VDC Class 2 Power Supply, as listed below, must be used with this retrofit kit. Using the Maximum Loading chart below, determine the

number of Tetra® Class 2 Power Supplies required to power the number of LED modules required to illuminate the sign, so as not to overload the

Tetra® Class 2 Power Supply chosen.

8. Follow the instructions above to properly mount the LED modules.

9. Connect the DC output of the power supply to the LED modules using the Electrical Connections instructions above.

10. Connect the power unit to the supply in accordance with the applicable local, state, and country electrical codes, and the instructions found in the

power supply installation guide.

11. If required, the disconnect switch shall be installed by qualified personnel, in accordance with applicable local, state, and country electrical codes.

OPTIONAL

A Weather Box (GEXNWB2) may be used to house and seal Class 2

connections as described below:

A) Insert wire connectors into weather box. Fill with electrical grade

silicone and close box.

B) Secure the weather box using a #6 or #8 (M2 or M3) screw.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Solution

All letters are OFF • Check AC input connection and/or check circuit breaker.

• Check wire connection(s) at the Tetra® LED System and power supply for improper termination(s) or short circuits.

Properly terminate or replace the wire connection(s).

• Check that connections are the red striped wire (+) of the LED strip to the red wire (+) of the power supply and the white

wire (-) of the LED strip to the black or blue wire (-) of the power supply.

Some LEDs

appear dim • Ensure the overall length of the Tetra® LED System does not exceed the maximum load.

• Ensure the length of supply wire is equal to or below the recommended remote mounting distance.

Some of the letters

are not illuminated • Check wire connection(s) at the Tetra® LED System and power supply for improper termination(s) or short circuits.

Properly terminate or replace the wire connection(s).

• Check that connections are the red striped wire (+) of the LED strip to the red wire (+) of the power supply and the

white wire (-) of the LED strip to the black or blue wire (-) of the power supply.

Shadows • Re-route supply wire and secure to the back of the can with silicone. Adjust wire connector orientation so that it does

not cover any LEDs.

• Adjust LED layout to ensure uniformity of illumination on the face of the letter.
