Lumination® (Tetra® Contour Series) Installation Guide
Plan the layout by measuring the design layout and dividing by 8 ft . (2.44m) to determine
the required quantity of Tetra Contour. Refer to the Cutting Resolution Table on page 2
when cutting any Tetra Contour section.
Do not use more than one sux code for each respective application, as mixing sux codes
may result in appearance variation. Sux code can be found on the packaging label.
Installation methods shown are for straight runs. For custom shapes, refer to the Light Guide
Forming Instructions.
18 in. (457mm)
WARNING / AVERTISSEMENT
RISK OF FIRE: The light engine is not intended
for excessive or repetitive bending or
stretching. If the silicone does crack, replace
the light engine.
RISQUE D’INCENDIE: Les modules DEL
Contour ne sont pas conçus pour des pliages
excessifs, répétitifs ou pour être étirés. Si le
silicone montre des signes de craquement,
remplacer le module DEL Contour.

Installation
Planning First
Install a minimum of one clip per 18
in. (457mm) using #10 (M4) screws.
For vertical or near vertical
installations, any cut-end
termination of a Contour piece shall
reside at the top of the design.
Using the light guide nal length,
measure out the necessary length
of Contour LED light engine to
match. If required, using a sharp
cutting tool, cut wire loops between
sections or through light engine
(refer to the Cutting Resolution
Table on page 2).
Attach Tetra
®
Contour to the
mounting clips, leaving a 3/8 in.
(10mm) gap between sections to
allow for expansion or contraction.
Push the light engine segments
down into the light guide.
Secure light guide by twisting tie-
wire around the mounting clip and
light guide.

Installation
Joining with Light Guide Connectors, Corners and Bends
Wires between light guide segments
can be folded behind the light guide
and attached with clear zip ties. Zip
ties should wrap around outside
light guide.
Insert wire connectors into weather
box. Fill with electrical grade silicone
and close box. Weather box can be
mounted using #8 (M3) screws.
Linear: At each gap between
sections, apply silicone on both
sides to secure light guide
connector. Snap on a light guide
connector.
To connect two light engines
separate wires and identify outer
conductors as positive (+) and
middle conductors as negative (–).
Strip ends back 0.5 in. (13mm).
For cut end, manually untwist and
separate wires to avoid shorts. Fill
cap with electrical grade silicone and
push cap on the end to seal. Clean
excess silicone.
Corner: For all corners (planar,
inside, outside) apply silicone on
both sides to secure light guide
corners. Snap on corner. Follow
Steps 8-10 if wires are cut.
Use twist-on wire connectors to join
wires together.
For uncut end, fold wire over Tetra
®
Contour. Fill the end cap with
silicone and push cap on the end to
secure. Clean excess silicone.
Bends having an inside radius 1½”
or smaller must have electrical grade
silicone applied directly to the light
engine across the bend.

RISK OF FIRE: Waterproof wire connection and all cut ends for outdoor or wet installations. Weather box is required for all outdoor or wet locations
electrical connections. / RISQUE D’INCENDIE: Étanchéier les connexions électriques et sceller l’extrémité
des sections coupées eectuées à l’extérieur ou pour un environnement exposé à l’eau. Un boitier étanche est requis pour les connexions électriques
eectuées à l’extérieur ou dans un environnement avec exposition à l’eau.
RISK OF FIRE: DO NOT bend the light engine to an inside radius that is tighter than 3/4 in. (19mm).
RISQUE D’INCENDIE: Ne pas plier les modules DEL Contour avec un rayon de courbure inférieur à 3/4 pouce (19 mm).

Do not use more than one sux code for each respective application, as mixing sux codes may result in appearance variation.
Sux code can be found on the packaging label.
Installation methods shown are for straight runs. For custom shapes, install mounting clips at regular intervals throughout the shape to
provide adequate support for the light engine.
DO NOT bend the light engine to an inside radius that is tighter than 3/4 in. (19mm). The light engine is not intended for excessive or
repetitive bending or stretching. If the silicone does crack, electrical grade silicone can be applied to seal the crack.

Symptom 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 Tetra Contour 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 Tetra Contour LED 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 Sux Codes of LED light engine
within an application
Make sure that all LED light engines have the same Sux Code
(Sux Code is located on each packaging label).
Some of the sections
are not illuminated Incorrect wire attachment
Check the wire connections at the Tetra Contour 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 Item 21 on Page 2).
