SloanLED FlexTAPE
Installation Guide for 701990-(XX)12SA1
Tools and supplies: Required: Measuring tape, scissors or shears.
Optional: PLTC cable, utility knife, Dow Corning
SloanLED approved neutral cure sealant. Soldering iron or SloanLED
FlexTAPE connectors. SloanLED FlexTAPE silicone end caps.
NOTE: Modules must be mounted in an enclosed sign cabinet/box. This product is not suitable for immersion or direct exposure to water for extended periods of time. AVERTISSEMENT:
Les modules doivent être montés dans une armoire / boîte de signalisation fermée. Ce produit ne convient pas à l'immersion ou à l'exposition directe à l'eau pendant de longues périodes.
3. Peel and stick: Using predetermined layout, remove tape backing and stick strip in place.
Ensure strip is firmly attached.
NOTE: Avoid pressing down directly on top of LEDs or circuit components and use caution to not
damage LEDs or circuit components in tight bends around sharp corners. REMARQUE: Évitez
d'appuyer directement sur les DEL ou les composants du circuit et veillez à ne pas endommager
les DEL ou les composants du circuit dans les virages serrés autour des angles aigus.
4a. Solder connections: Wire connections can be made by
soldering to top or bottom side wire pads. If soldering to bottom
pads, remove tape covering pads prior to soldering. If soldering
to top wire pads, very carefully remove clear modling material
prior to soldering. Do not cut or damage traces. Take care to
ensure correct polarity. Ensure connections are covered after
soldering to avoid electrical short circuits. If soldering wires,
it is recommended to use silicone end cap (SloanLED P/N:
402566) and silicone seal cut end and solder joint. See step 5.
1. Clean surface: Clean inside channel letter or
737 or equivalent
mounting track (SloanLED FlexTAPE product
®
dimensions are 0.32" [8 mm] x 0.11" [2.8 mm])
with rubbing alcohol and allow to dry.
4b. SloanLED FlexTAPE connectors: Open
connector and insert SloanLED FlexTAPE
until fully seated. Press down on transparent
cover until fully snaps into place.
NOTE: All electrical connections must be protected from mechanical damage and the environment. Seal all connections
that may be exposed to water with electrical grade non-corrosive silicone. AVERTISSEMENT: Toutes les connexions
électriques doivent être protégées des dommages mécaniques et de l'environnement. Scellez toutes les connexions qui
peuvent être exposées à l'eau avec du silicone non corrosif de qualité électrique.

2. Cut to length: SloanLED FlexTAPE can be
cut in approximate 2" (50 mm) segments.
Cut SloanLED FlexTAPE to desired length.

4. Connections: Sections may be connected in
series or parallel. Connections may be made
by soldering to wire pads or using SloanLED
FlexTAPE connectors. NOTE: To avoid
significant line loss, do not use more than
16.4 ft (5 m) in series.
4c. For board-to-board connectors, ensure that
polarity of connections matches (+) to (+)
and (-) to (-).
