Tetra® LT Installation Guide
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. 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.
Use rivets, screws, or electrical
grade RTV silicone to secure
at least every fth LED module
within the channel letter. Use #6
(M3) pan headed metal screws,
1/8-inch (3.2 mm) rivets, or
electrical grade RTV silicone.
NOTE: Modules may be damaged
by improperly sized screws or
over-torquing
Before you begin, clean surfaces
and remove all debris from the
inside of the channel letter. Clean
the surfaces with a 50:50 mixture
of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and
water and let dry.
Layout Modules
Drill a 1/4-inch (6.4 mm) hole
near the LED strip and grommet
the hole for supply wire access.
Remove all the debris from the
inside of the channel letter and
replace the sign face.
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.
Do not
press lens
Connect LED strips using in-line (IDC) connectors or
twist-on wire connectors.
NOTE: Seal all connections in wet locations with
electrical grade RTV silicone.
Must cap all exposed wires with appropriate wire
connectors and seal with electrical grade RTV silicone.
Optional: Cut wires ush to the module and seal with
electrical grade RTV silicone.
Electrical Connections
NOTE: Do not use connectors pre-lled with silicone grease/mineral base protective grease or use silicone grease to seal connections.

Retrot 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 uorescent tubes; and associated
transformers and ballasts. Care should be taken not to break the existing neon or uorescent tubes. NOTE: Follow all federal and local
regulations when disposing of neon tubing, uorescent 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 24VDC Class 2 Power Supply, as listed below, must be used with this retrot kit. Using the Maximum Loading chart below, determine the
number of Power Supplies required to power the number of LED modules required to illuminate the sign, so as not to overload the 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 qualied personnel, in accordance with applicable local, state, and country electrical
codes.
FOR UL ONLY
OPTIONAL
A Weather Box (GEXNWB2) may be used to
house and seal Class 2 connections.
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.

Tetra® LT Installation Guide
• 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.
• At the end of life, the contained LED light source may be cut out using suitable wire cutters, removed from the mounting surface,
then replaced per the cutting and installation instructions above, or dismantled and taken to a communal collecting point for
environmentally friendly disposal in accordance with local regulations by a professional installer.
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.
• Ensure the overall length of the Tetra® LED System does not exceed the maximum load.
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 electrical grade RTV 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.
