• Dow Corning 3145 - Non-Corrosive Nonflowable (clear or gray)
• Dow Corning RTV 748 Non-Corrosive Sealant-White
Determine location of where
LED modules will be mounted
based on sign dimensions.
Use rivets, screws, or silicone to
secure each module within the
sign. Use #6 (M3) or #8 (M4)
screws, 1/8-inch (3.2 mm) rivets,
or silicone.
Determine how many modules are
required for your application and
cut where necessary.
NOTE: Cuts can be made between
any of the LED modules.
Before you begin, clean surfaces
and remove all debris from the
inside of the sign. Clean the
surfaces with a 50:50 mixture of
isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and water
and let dry.
Remove tape backing and stick LED
modules into place. When using
tape apply approximately 15 psi
pressure on the module (avoid the
lens dome surface) for 5 seconds,
full bonding strength after 24
hours. Continue until you have
reached the end of the strip.

Retrofit Instructions
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. Using the layout guidelines within the LED module installation instructions, determine required number of LED modules
required to illuminate the sign.
6. A Tetra® 24VDC 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.
7. Follow the LED module instructions to properly mount the LED modules.
8. Connect the DC output of the power supply to the LED modules using the Power Supply Installation instructions above.
9. Connect the power unit to the supply in accordance with the applicable local, state, and country electrical codes, and the
Power Supply Installation instructions.
10. If required, the disconnect switch shall be installed by qualified personnel, in accordance with applicable local, state, and
country electrical codes.

Troubleshooting
Symptom Solution
Row of modules does not light • Check wire connections to power supply to ensure red stripe-to-red and white-to-black or blue 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 modules do not light • Remove module and replace with another working module.
Modules are dim • Ensure the overall length of the Tetra® LED system does not exceed the maximum load.
• Ensure the length and gauge of the supply wire is equal to or below the recommended remote mounting
distance.
