THE LED STRIP MUST ONLY BE CONNECTED TO A SUITABLE CONTROLLER AND LED DRIVER. SWITCH OFF MAINS POWER BEFORE INSTALLING THE STRIP.

Important Notice

1. This product should be installed according to the instructions in this guide and by a qualified electrical installer. All electrical work must be completed in
accordance with all applicable regulations and laws in the country in which it is being installed. (In accordance with IET regulations in the UK).
2. This product falls in the low voltage Class III circuit category.
3. The LED strip must be installed in sheltered area (indoor or outdoor). The unit is against to water jets and dust. NOT suitable for water immersion.
4. Do NOT install in an environment, which exposes the strip to direct sunlight. The strip will dissipate heat, so it should be installed in a ventilated area.
5. To maintain the IP65 rating after cutting – Compatible silicone sealant and end-caps must be used. Available silicone, entry end-caps and end-caps Pat
ILSTAC176.
6. Always SWITCH OFF the power at the mains when installing, adjusting, cutting or maintaining the LED strip.
7. Observe the correct polarity when connecting to a driver and controller. See Instruction – Section (C).
8. When the LED strip is ON, avoid staring directly at the LED strip.
9. Observe the operating temperature levels of the LED strip: -25° C to +45° C.
10. Ensure the constant voltage 24V LED driver(s) and controller are correctly specified for the area (IP rating) and total connected length of the LED strip used.
11. Do NOT power the strip whilst in the packaging reel to avoid overheating.
12. Always handle the LED strip with care. Do NOT twist or heavily press down on the LED strip and observe the bending rule.
13. Always switch OFF the power supply before cutting or connecting the LED strip.
14. Safely route and secure all wires so that they cannot be pinched or damaged. The driver must be connected to a stable power supply.

Introduction

1. Depending on the installation, you can purchase optional or additional accessories such as connectors, drivers and controllers. Please get in touch with your
supplier or see integral-led.com for accessories options.
2. The strip has a 5-year warranty. Questions? Please get in touch with your supplier or see integral-led.com.
(A) CHOOSING A 24V LED DRIVER
1. The LED strip operates with a 24V constant voltage LED driver. The total length of the strip (check length specification) can be powered directly with one
appropriate LED Driver. LED Drivers are sold separately in a variety of fixed wattage options. Ensure the IP rating matches the requirements of the installation.
2. The specification of the LED driver will depend on the total power wattage required by the connected strip(s). The power wattage rating of the LED driver
should be at least 20% higher than the total wattage required of the strip(s) being powered.
• For example, if the strip power is 6W per metre (6W/m) and the total length of all the connected strips is 12m. Total wattage required is 6W x 12 = 72W.
Multiply by 1.2 to give the minimum driver wattage 72W X 1.2 = 86W. A 100W LED driver would be suitable for 12m. It is important to specify the correct LED
driver.
(B) PRE-INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. It is worth taking some time to plan the project for the desired effect before removing the backing tape of the LED strip. The specification, length, mounting
position and distance from an object determines the appearance of the LED strip light and the possibility of using an aluminium profile with a diffuser. In
conjunction with the installed position of the LED strip, you will need to consider the safe placement and concealment of the LED driver, wires and power
switch or controller to turn the strip ON and OFF.
2. We recommend that you temporarily experiment with the strip (and holding the strip without removing the backing tape in place by using suitable resealable
tape such as masking tape if required). Safely connect the power supply – you can carefully move the strip to try different angles and positions to gain the
desired illumination effect and position. Check for light hot spots, glare, reflections and shadows. Take care in measuring the length required before cutting the
strip. Take into account the space needed for connectors.
3. High-power strips should be installed on a surface with sufficient cooling capacity to keep the strip within its temperature levels. We recommend installing the
strip in an appropriate aluminium profile or on heat-sink plates for heat dissipation and strip longevity.
4. The surface to which the strip is applied must be stable, clean, dry, smooth, oil & grease-free, and at room temperature- ideally, metal, ceramics, wood and
plastics. On removal of the strip, some damage to paint, wallpaper or other substrates may occur.
5. Avoid stretching, compressing, folding, twisting or bending the strip to less than 50mm.
