PRODUCT INFORMATION

120V Polar 2 Mini Neon is sold in 150ft reels. Each reel includes a pre-attached 5ft power adapter cord (4C x 18AWG, without plug, without invert-
er), four spare DIY power adapter cords, and an end cap on the dead end. Mounting accessories include MINI-P2-NF-CLIPS (bag of ten aluminum
mounting clips) and MINI-P2-NF-CHAN-3 (3ft mounting channel); all sold separately. Jumpers (linking extensions) include 6", 3ft, 10ft and 20ft
lengths (MINI-P2-NF-JUMP-.5, MINI-P2-NF-JUMP-3, MINI-P2-NF-JUMP-10, and MINI-P2-NF-JUMP-20, respectively), sold separately.
Power consumption = 2.4 W/ft; Maximum run = 150 feet. If cut, the Polar 2 Mini Neon loses its ETL listing.
CUTTING AND CONNECTING POLAR 2 MINI 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 Mini 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 Mini 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 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 Mini 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. See Figure 2.
4. If using a new reel with the power cord attached, skip to steps 11 and 12. If using a previously cut length of Polar 2 Mini Neon, you'll need to add
a DIY power connection kit (steps 5-9).
5. Trim off any wires that protrude from the cut end of the Polar 2 Mini 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 Mini Neon. See Figure 2.
7. Push the pointed pins into the Polar 2 Mini 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 Mini 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 Mini 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.
