Dip Switch Settings

With power off, set the correct dip switch according to the Dip Switch Setting Chart (see below for detailed explanation).
NOTE: For proper operation, verify that only one switch is set to the "ON" position.
Re-place the dip switch cover and perform a quick test by turning the system on to ensure the channel letter LEDs are lit.

The following chart indicates the Tetra Strip load
that can be placed on the Power Supply based on
the character code on the LED and the dip switch
setting chosen. For example, when the Tetra Strip is
marked with the character code EB5, the "5" on the
dip switch can be set to the ON position to achieve
neon-equivalent performance. At this setting, the
GECLPS5-2 power supply can support up to 64 ft.
(19m) of the 6 LED per foot Tetra Strip. If you change
the dipswitch setting and flip #4 switch to the ON
position, the power supply can support up to 80
ft. (24m) of Tetra Strip. The footage guidelines vary
based on the type of Tetra Strip being used. The
charts below provide the total footage requirements
for each Tetra Strip type. To determine the footage
for each power supply bank, divide the total footage
by four.
CAUTION: Avoid setting the dip switch to the ON
position with any setting not listed in
the chart unless stated otherwise (i.e. Border Tube
Installation). If these requirements are
not followed, the Tetra Strip and Power Supply
warranty will be void.
