Installation

Turn off power and remove panel

from fluorescent box sign. Read the product labels to determine

Tetra Stick length required to span

width of sign based on table in the

Specications section (pages 4-5).

Old Fluorescent

tube

Remove old

components F48T12HO

or F48T8HO

Remove old fluorescent tubes, ballast

and wiring. DO NOT remove existing

fluorescent lamp holders. Inspect

existing sockets and replace as needed.

De-energize the lamp holders.

NOTE:

Follow all federal and local

regulations when disposing of neon

tubing, uorescent tubes, transformers

and ballasts.

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).

If removal of the existing lighting equipment (see Step 2) eliminates the disconnect switch, as required by applicable local, state, or country

electrical codes; a new disconnect switch must be installed.

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

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.

the black or blue wire (-) of the power supply. Seal all connections that could be exposed to water with electrical grade RTV silicone

Electrical Connections

Single Tetra Stick Installation

Power Supply

Add up total number of Tetra Sticks to determine the

appropriate number of 24VDC Class 2 Tetra LED drivers

to use based on the Specications Charts for Tetra

Stick chosen (see pages 4-5).

Multiple Tetra Stick Installation

Connect the red wire (+) of the Tetra Stick to the red

wire (+) of the power supply. Connect the black wire (-)

of the Tetra Stick to the black or blue wire (-) of the

power supply.

AC line GEPS24-180

Connect Tetra Stick using twist-on wire connectors or in-line (IDC) connectors. Join black wires together and red wires

together. Seal all connections that could be exposed to water with electrical grade RTV silicone.

NOTE: Make sure not to exceed LED driver power limits (see Step 1). Drawing above is for reference only; your lighting

layout may differ.

NOTE: All drivers except GEPS24-180U and GEPS24-300U must be enclosed or provided with a GEPSJB60 LED driver

extended enclosure.

NOTE: Refer to Power Supply Installation Guide for AC driver installation.

III

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference,

and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits

are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment

generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference

to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to

correct the interference at his own expense.

This Class [A] RFLD complies with the Canadian standard ICES-005. Ce DEFR de la classe [A] est conforme à la NMB-005 du Canada.

Symptom Solution

Row of fixtures does not light • Check wire connections to power supply to ensure red stripe-to-red and white-to-black connections.

• Check row-to-row polarity connections.

Sign does not light • Check input and output voltage and check power supply input/output connections.

• Check polarity connections.

Individual fixture does not light • Remove fixture and replace with another working fixture.
