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.

Tetra® PowerStrip Snap DS Installation Guide

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.

Using Tetra® Snap Interconnectors

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.

Installation Options

Tetra® PowerStrip Snap DS Installation Guide

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.

Retrofit Instructions

FOR UL ONLY

Using Tetra® Snap Socket Endcap

Tetra® PowerStrip Snap DS Installation Guide

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.

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.

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

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.
