American Lighting TL-24V-30 Installation Instruction

LED FLEXFORM 24V
Installation instruction TL-24V-30 & TL-24V-60
24V DC operation

WARNING:

These products may represent a possible shock or fire hazard if improperly installed or attached in any way.
Products should be installed in accordance with these instructions, current electrical codes and/or the current National
Electric Code (NEC).
WARNING:
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect or disable power at the source prior to installation or maintenance.
WARNING:
To avoid electrical shock, use only with 24V DC plug-in power supply or 24V DC hardwire power supply with a
wattage capacity that can handle the total load. Factory warranty will be void if used with a non-recommended power supply,
transformer, or driver.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. This tape light is intended for indoor use. If used outside, seal with silicone and shrink tube.
2. Do not use if there is any damage to the tape light, diodes, or conductors.
3. Do not route cords or tape light through walls, doors, windows or any similar part of a building structure.
4. Secure units using clips and/or extrusions designed for this product. Do not secure unit or its power connector with staples,
nails, or any other sharp object/s that may damage fixture.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS:

Never fold FlexForm or bend past the minimum bending radius of 1" whether lighted or unlighted.
Note: See Figure 1 for maximum run lengths and wattage consumption. To double the coverage, consider placing a driver in a
central location that can power two runs. Calculate the load(s) and make sure to select a driver that can handle the total load. For
all plug-in drivers, a maximum load less than or equal to 80% of its capacity is recommended for maximum driver life. See also
Connecting Power on page 3.
1. Determine the location of the FlexForm and length needed for the installation. If any cuts are to be made,
follow "CUTTING FlexForm" instructions on page 2.
2. If an intersection is involved, plan ahead by starting the layout there. ("L" and "T" connectors are sold
separately, TL-L and TL-T, respectively.) Prepare the mounting surface by dusting and/or cleaning it, so
that the adhesive tape can adhere to the surface, and so that any marks will be easy to locate. Jumpers are also
available in 6" , 12" and 24" lengths, sold separately (TL-JUMP.5, TL-JUMP1, and TL-JUMP2, respectively).
3. Mark the location(s) of any L and T connector(s), then determine the best length for all sections, keeping in
mind the cut marks and max runs of each type of FlexForm (See also Figures 1, 2, and 3).
4. Determine the type and best location for the power supply in relation to the FlexForm installation to determine
routing of the power cord(s). See also reverse side "CONNECTING POWER" on page 3 for details regarding hardwire
versus plug-in power supply connection.
5. Mark the location of the beginning of the run where the power connector will be attached.
