How to use included connectors
The wire lead connectors are used to join two sections of LED tape.
■
Open the lid of the connector opposite the wire.
■
Peel about 1/4 inch of the paper from the LED strip adhesive backing
■
at the connection point.
Use a gentle side-to-side motion to slide the strip into the connector,
■
making sure the tape slides under the internal connector contact points.
Perform a power test to be sure the connection is secure. If the LEDs
■
flicker or do not light, repeat the steps in this guide.
Insert tape into
channel under
contact tabs
Soldering the LED tape (optional)
Soldering is another method for joining wires to the tape light and
■
joining sections of tape light directly together.
Wire Lead Connection
Preparing the assembly location
Power the LED tape lighting and temporarily hold or tape into
■
position with painter's tape or masking tape – do not remove the
adhesive paper backing.
Adjust the lighting to various angles and positions to get the desired
■
level of illumination and lighting appearance. If the LEDs create
undesirable light spots on walls, or reflections, reposition the tape light
strip farther away from surfaces or try a different mounting angle.
Once you have determined your final mounting position, remove
■
any dirt and dust present where the tape will be applied. Mounting
surfaces should be clean, completely dry, and as dust-free as
possible. For best results, install when temperatures are above 60ºF
(15ºC). When installing on painted surfaces, paint should be fully
cured based on manufacturer's cure time.

Installing the LED strip
Working from one end to the other, remove the paper backing
■
protecting the adhesive and firmly press the LED tape down with
your fingers or a clean cloth, taking care not to press on the
individual LEDs.
Support and secure the power cables leading to the tape light with
■
the included wire support clips.
NOTE: Although the LED tape can be installed in curved and irregular
■
spaces, avoid sharp bends or bending on the solder joints as you
could damage the LED tape light. If an LED is inadvertently damaged
and fails to light, the remaining LEDs will continue to operate.
Installing the power supply
IMPORTANT: Do not power the LED tape while on the reel, as the LEDs
■
will overheat.
Connect the AC power cord to a live outlet.
■
If connected to a switched outlet, be sure the power is switched ON
■
for proper remote operation.
Direct wiring the power supply
WARNING: Disconnect power by unplugging the power cord or turning
■
off the circuit breaker before removing the power supply end caps.
WARNING: Do not use standard 120-volt AC dimmers with this power
■
supply. Only use the integrated RF dimmer supplied with this kit.
IMPORTANT: All wiring must be in accordance with national and local
■
electrical codes, low-voltage Class 2 circuit. If you are unclear as to
how to install and wire this product, consult a qualified professional.
When the power supply end caps are removed, the input and output
■
cables can be removed by loosening the screws on the power supply
cable connector terminal block.
Removing the low-voltage output cable from the power supply will
■
allow cable runs through cabinets and around any obstacles as
needed for a more custom installation. When reinstalling the cables
to the power supply, be sure to follow the polarity printed on the case
(white wire to +, gray to –).
