INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
P2-NF Series

PRODUCT INFORMATION

120V Polar 2 Neon is sold in 150ft reels. Each reel includes a pre-attached 5ft power adapter cord (4C x 18AWG, with plug and 8A inverter), four
spare DIY power adapter cords, and an end cap on the dead end. Mounting accessories include P2-NF-CLIPS (bag of ten aluminum mounting
clips), P2-NF-TRACK-3 (3ft plastic track) and P2-NF-CHAN-3 (3ft mounting channel); all sold separately. Jumpers (linking extensions) include 6", 3ft,
10ft and 20ft lengths (P2-NF-JUMP-.5, P2-NF-JUMP-3, P2-NF-JUMP-10, and P2-NF-JUMP-20, respectively), sold separately. Power consumption =
2.4 W/ft; Maximum run = 150 feet. If cut, the Polar 2 Neon loses its ETL listing.
CUTTING AND CONNECTING POLAR 2 NEON (SEE FIGURES 1-5)
NOTE: Reels include one pre-attached power adapter cord with 4 additional power adapter cords. Follow instructions carefully when splicing
Polar 2 Neon sections or attaching power cords. Ensure that all connections, including the end cap on the last segment, are properly installed with
dielectric grease and shrink tube to preclude the entrance of water (outdoor applications). 120V Polar 2 Neon can only be cut at 18" intervals as
indicated by the cutting marks printed on the side of the PVC housing. Failure to cut at a cut mark will result in a loss of light. Before making any
cuts or attaching any power cords or jumpers, be sure power source is disconnected!
1. Ensure the attached power adapter cord is fully secure by tightening threaded collar at connection. See Figure 1.
2. Determine the required length for the lighting application.
3. Cut the Polar 2 Neon squarely at the nearest cut mark using a PVC pipe cutting tool or sharp shears. Cut marks are located every 18" and
marked on the side of the housing. Polar 2 Neon loses its ETL Listing when cut. See Figure 2.
4. If using a new reel with the power cord attached, skip to steps 10 and 11. If using a previously cut length of Polar 2 Neon, you'll need to add a
DIY power connection kit (steps 5-10).
5. Trim off any wires that protrude from the cut end of the Polar 2 Neon.
6. Holding the non-pointed side of the power pin with a pair of pliers, line up the pointed pins on the other end with the four conductors inside the
Polar 2 Neon. See Figure 3.
7. Push the pointed pins into the Polar 2 Neon until flush, being sure to make solid contact with the flexible light's internal wires.
8. Slide the shrink tube over the power pins, onto the Polar 2 Neon. See Figure 4.
9. Push the power cord sheath onto the assembly until fully seated. To ensure a tight seal, use a generous amount of dielectric grease between
each connection. See Figure 5.
10. Use heat to affix the heat shrink tube making sure that it is centered over the junction of the Polar 2 Neon and the power cord sheath. Best
practices include sealing the edges of shrink tube or power cord sheath with a silicone sealant.
11. When using splice kits and/or jumpers, follow steps 5-10 above, making connections in a similar manner.
12. Attach end cap to other end of flexible light to cover exposed dead end.
