All letters are OFF
• Check AC input connection and/or check circuit breaker.
• Check wire connection(s) at the Tetra
• Check that connections are the red striped wire (+) of the LED strip to the red wire (+) of the power supply and the
Some LEDs
• Ensure the overall length of the Tetra
appear dim
• Ensure the length of supply wire is equal to or below the recommended remote mounting distance.
• Ensure the overall length of the Tetra® LED System does not exceed the maximum load.
Some of the letters are
• Check wire connection(s) at the Tetra
not illuminated
• Check that connections are the red striped wire (+) of the LED strip to the red wire (+) of the power supply and
Shadows
• Re-route supply wire and secure to the back of the can with electrical grade RTV silicone. Adjust wire connector
• Adjust LED layout to ensure uniformity of illumination on the face of the letter.
Tips
• For optimal light uniformity in halo-lit applications the Tetra
output from the Tetra
LED system should be directed back into the sign enclosure. This will allow for uniform backlighting of the sign
®
and will provide simple mounting for the Tetra
• A best practice for the supply wire at the point at which it is brought into the sign is to have a drip loop on the inside of the letter to
keep water from collecting on the Tetra
• These products are not required to be enclosed or protected from weather.
