INSTALLATION GUIDE
WARNING: ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL SHOULD PERFORM INSTALLATION
TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR COMPONENT DAMAGE, DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE
PERFORMING INSTALLATION OF THE POWER SUPPLIES, MODULES, AND/OR RGB CONTROLLERS.
Failure to install the power supplies and/or LED modules in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC), all
applicable Federal, State, and local electric codes as well as the specific Underwriters Laboratories (UL) safety
standards for the installation, location and application may cause serious personal injury, death, property damage
and/or product malfunction.
These instructions are guidelines for installation of LED modules and power supplies. Installation requirements may
vary depending on the application. Licensed electricians should provide all installation services for connection for
both primary and secondary (input/output) of the power supplies.

2.3 Required track lengths
2.4 Cut the two “b” track segments to
length – be certain the dimension “d” on
both track pieces is the same to ensure
the tracks are parallel in the case
2.5 Attach the two “b” track segments to
the sides of the case
2.6 Examples of module spacing
2.7a Insert BoxLED Plus DS modules into
the required number of “a” track pieces –
referring to step 2.6 for layout options
2.7b Insert one end of the module into
the track and push down on the opposite
end until it clicks into place
2.8 Loop any excess wire around the
track in-between the modules and tie
wrap it into place
2.9 Slide the Left and Right mounting
brackets onto the corresponding ends of
each of the “a” track segments
2.10 Slide the assembly into the desired
mounting holes in the “b” track segments
and push down on the left and right

ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS
3.0 Use wire nuts or connectors to connect the white and red (+) input wire of the
modules to the red (+) output wires of the 24V power supply. Connect the black and
white (-)) input wire of the modules to the blue ((-)) output wire of the 24V power supply
(see Figure 11).
3.1 Cap off any unused connection wires when finished.
3.2 Make sure AC line is OFF before beginning power ssupply installation. Secure power
supply
upply to clean metal surface using screws (see Figure 12).

No input power
Corrective Action
Check AC connection to power supply.
Check power supply connection to modules.
Entire sign/one or
more LED runs do
not light
No power to LED
modules
Check DC polarity- power supply red output wires must be connected to
red striped module wires, power supply blue output wires must be
connected to black striped module wires.
Verify power supply output voltage is 24V.
Part of an LED run
does not light
No power to that
run
Check module to module connection for correct polarity.
