4.5 in. (114 mm)
Mount the Flex rails so that
they are gapped at least
4.5 in. (114 mm) apart if end
to end, using a #6 or #8
(M2 or M3) screw at least
every 2 ft. of rail but not less
than 2 screws per rail.
NOTE: For an 8 ft. rail
length, there will be 2.08 in.
(52.8 mm) of excess light
engine on each end.
Using the Flex Rail nal length,
measure out the necessary
length of Contour LED light
engine so that it will extend
at least 3/4 in. (19 mm). If
required, use a sharp cutting
tool to cut through light engine
(refer to the Cutting Resolution
Table on page 2).
Installation
Plan the layout by measuring the design
layout and dividing by 8 ft . (2.44m)
to determine the required quantity of
Contour Gen 2 Flex. Refer to the Cutting
Resolution Table on page 3 when
cutting any Contour Gen 2 Flex section.
Do not use more than one sux
code for each respective application,
as mixing sux codes may result in
appearance variation. Sux code can
be found on the packaging label.
NOTE: If mounting surfaces are rough or uneven, take the necessary precautions to avoid bending the rail when
mounting.

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. 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 retrot kit. 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 Method A, B or C to mount the Contour Gen 2 Flex.
8. Connect the DC output of the power supply to the LED modules using the Electrical Connections instructions above.
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 qualied personnel, in accordance with applicable local, state,
and country electrical codes.

Troubleshooting
Symptom Condition Solution
All LEDs are OFF
No AC input. Attach AC input and/or check circuit breaker.
Incorrect wire attachment.
Check wire connection(s) at the Contour Gen 2 Flex LED light
engine and power supply for improper connections or short
circuits. Make sure you have positive to positive and negative to
negative wire connections.
Some LEDs
appear dim
Overload (maximum load exceeded).
Ensure the overall length of Contour LED Gen 2 Flex light engine
does not exceed the maximum load as detailed in the Tetra
Power Supply Installation Instructions.
Maximum recommended supply wire
length exceeded.
Reduce the length of supply wire equal to or below the
recommended maximum.
Mixed Sux Codes of LED light
engine within an application.
Make sure that all LED light engines have the same Sux Code
(Sux Code is located on each packaging label).
Some of the
sections are not
illuminated
Incorrect wire attachment.
Check the wire connections at the Contour Gen 2 Flex LED light
engine for improper connections. Make sure you have positive
to positive and negative to negative wire connections. Check for
improper cutting resolution locations (see table on Page 2).
