Measure and cut Tetra® Snap Rail to appropriate
length to fit into sign. For retrofitting a sign, see
page 6.
Evenly space modules across the Tetra® Snap
Rail. Different brightness levels can be achieved
depending on module spacing.
Installation Using Tetra® Snap Rails
Align peg on top of the light module with hole
on top of the Tetra® Snap Rail and push module
into rail until it snaps into place. For added
security, fasten module to rail with a screw.
Secure the Tetra® Snap Rail to the inside of the
box sign using the standard Tetra® Snap Frame
Endcaps or other suitable means.

Use a Tetra® Snap Interconnecter
to join two rails and create longer
runs.
NOTE: Runs must be secured with
screws to supporting structure
at intervals no greater than
8 feet (2.43 m).
Use a Tetra® Snap T-Connector to join
rails perpendicular to each other.
Use #6 or #8 screw to attach
T-Connector to side of rail.
NOTE: T-Connector must be secured
with screws to the mounting rail.

Alternative Mounting
Using Tetra® Snap T-Connectors
The modules may be attached to any
structural member of the sign using one
#6 or M3 screw or 1/8” rivet. Ensure the
module’s lip is tight against rail.
NOTE: Modules may be damaged by
improperly sized screws or over-torquing.
Screw must be at least 0.75 inches long.

When retrofitting a sign, ensure the
rail is cut to the appropriate length to
properly seat in the lamp socket, and
use Tetra® Snap Socket Endcaps to
secure rails to existing lamp sockets.
NOTE: When utilized, ensure the rail
is properly seated in the lamp sockets.
For horizontal installations greater than
5 ft. in length, the rail assembly should
be centrally supported.

Rail Length Requirements
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 above, determine required number of LED modules required to illuminate the sign.
6. A 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 Power Supplies required to power the number of LED modules required to illuminate
the sign, so as not to overload the Power Supply chosen.
7. Follow the instructions above to properly mount the LED modules.
8. Connect the DC output of the power supply to the LED modules using the Electrical Connections instructions below.
9. 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.
10. If required, the disconnect switch shall be installed by qualified personnel, in accordance with applicable local, state, and
country electrical codes.

Connect output side of
power supply to first
module. Connect the
red stripe wire (+) of the
LED system to the red wire
(+) of the power supply.
Connect the white wire (-) of
the LED system to the black
or blue wire (-) of the power
supply. Connect AC line to
input side of power supply.
Connect modules using twist-on
wire connectors or in-line (IDC)
connectors. Join white wires
together and red striped wires
together.
Cap all exposed wires with
appropriate end caps or apply
electric grade (non-corrosive) silicone
for additional weather protection.
NOTES:
Exceeding maximum load will cause the power supply to shut down. If overload occurs, remove excess load, recycle the
input power to restart the power supply.
All electrical connections should be suitably protected from mechanical damage and the environment. Seal all connections
in locations that may be exposed to water with electrical grade RTV silicone. See page 3 for recommended silicones.
Must be used with Class 2 24 Volt Power Supplies.
Additional supply wire may be necessary to bridge electrical connections.
Wire nuts should be facing up so as not to collect water.

Dismantling
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.
