Quantum RECESSED 1005 Channel Installation
RECESSED 1005 Installation Instructions #CH-R-1005-KIT-XX Channel Cutting Instructions Safety Wear proper gloves, safety glasses, and an apron or long sleeve shirt to protect from aluminum shavings while cutting Quantum Channel. Recommended Tools Miter Saw/Chop Saw Saw Blade rated for cutting aluminum (96-tooth blade or higher) Painters or Masking Tape Tape Measure Marker Safety Glasses Work Gloves Work Apron/Long Sleeve Shirt (for protection against aluminum shavings) Canned Air/Air Compressor Optional: Fine File (for filing cut aluminum end) Cutting Quantum RECESSED 1005 Channel 1. Decide on Length to Cut The LED tape light that comes with the CH-R-1005-KIT-XX has a cut length of 1-31/32 in. This is your limitation in cutting the channel, so be sure to select a channel cut length with a 1-31/32 inch increment so that the LED tape light fits perfectly inside the channel and no dark spots/shadows are visible on the ends. www.ledinspirations.com [email protected] Phone: (832) 717-2710 11744 Grant Road Fax: (866) 523-0169 Cypress, TX 77429 V3 2. Prepare Lens for Cutting Insert and snap down the plastic lens into the channel 7/16 in. from the edge of the channel. The end caps for the CH-R-1005-KIT-XX have an alignment edge that intrudes into the lens groove by 7/32 in. on each side. You must account for this on both sides of the lens for both end caps to fit flush. Pro Tip! For installing a two pieces of CH-R-1005-KIT-XX that will butt up next to each other, cut the frosted lens to where it is flush on the side that will be butting up. You only need to cut the lens 7/32 in. short on the sides that will be using end caps. 3. Measure, Tape and Mark Measure out the length you want to cut and add the thickness of your saw blade to the overall measured length. For example: If your cut is 12 in. and your blade is 1/16 in. thick, then cut at 12-1/16 in. for the perfect cut. Wrap both the channel and lens with masking/painters tape to hold them together and protect them from scratching by the saw blade. Mark on top of the tape with a marker where you want to make your cut. 4. Cut SLOWLY make your cut along your measured mark (on top of the tape) for a smooth cut end. Use at least a 96-tooth saw blade rated for cutting the aluminum channel. You may need to use a fine file to smooth the cut ends. 5. Clean-Up Use canned air or an air compressor to clean all the aluminum shavings from your cut piece of channel. www.ledinspirations.com [email protected] Phone: (832) 717-2710 11744 Grant Road Fax: (866) 523-0169 Cypress, TX 77429 V3 Recessed Mounting Instructions Safety Recommended Tools Phillips Head Screwdriver Butt Splices/Wire Nuts Wire Stripper Crimper Tool Power Drill 1/4 inch Drill Bits Diamond Saw Blade & Grinder (for recessing in stone, concrete or brick) Router (for recessing in wood) Optional: Desired Screws (for recessing in wood, stone, concrete or brick) Optional: Desired Glue for securing channel to wood, stone, etc. Optional: Crimping Electrical Pliers (for Butt Splices) Optional: Low Voltage Wire Recessed Mounting Quantum RECESSED 1005 Channel 1. Cut Recess Groove For Concrete, Stone, Brick or Wood Surface Installation: Cut a 10/16 inch wide by 1/2 inch deep groove for the Quantum Channel to recess into. You will need to use your desired screws or desired glue to secure the channel into the recessed groove. For cutting into a Concrete, Stone or Brick surface: Use a Diamond Saw Blade with a Grinder. For cutting into a Wood surface: Use a Router. 2. Drill Hole for Wire Drill a 1/4 inch hole into the aluminum channel for the low voltage wire. www.ledinspirations.com [email protected] Phone: (832) 717-2710 11744 Grant Road Fax: (866) 523-0169 Cypress, TX 77429 V3 3. Install Inspire High Density LED Tape Light Feed the crystal clear wire on the LED tape light through the 1/4 inch hole. Peel off the adhesive on the back of the LED tape light and stick it down inside the channel and center it if possible. 4. Install End Caps Screw on the end caps to both ends of the channel. 5. Install Frosted Lens Press and snap in the frosted lens. 6. Run Low Voltage Wire to 24V DC Driver Option 1: Run the 10 foot crystal clear wire on the LED tape light to your 24V driver and wire it in. Option 2: Run at least an 18 AWG low voltage wire from the 24V driver to your channel and use butt splices to connect the low voltage wire to the crystal clear wire. If the remote driver is more than 30 feet away please contact our Design Department (call 832717-2710) so we can recommend the correct size wire to use. Pro Tip! The positive (hot wire) wire is marked with a white line on the crystal clear wire.

Put Glue into Recess Groove Use glue that is suitable for your application and recessed surface. Put your desired glue inside the groove and be careful to not put too much or else the glue will expand and get on the frosted lens side of the CH-R-1005-KIT-XX. 8. Tuck-in Wire and Press Quantum Channel into Groove Tuck-in the low voltage wire and press the Quantum Channel into the groove where you put in the glue. 9. Secure and Let the Glue Dry Depending on the glue you may need to tape down the recessed channel with painters/masking tape while the glue dries and cures. Once it has properly dried you can remove the tape. www.ledinspirations.com [email protected] Phone: (832) 717-2710 11744 Grant Road Fax: (866) 523-0169 Cypress, TX 77429 V3
