(C) TYPICAL INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION
The LED strip is powered by an appropriate LED driver and controller with a suitable wattage output (See Section
A). For controller options, please get in touch with your supplier or see integral-led.com. Ensure the power is
OFF and that the correct polarity is observed when wiring the LED driver. When wiring the receiver of controller
to the strip, always observe polarity for connections to control unit, positive (+) to positive, red (R) to red, green
(G) to green and blue (B) to blue (Fig.1). Additional accessories (sold separately) may be required for complex
congurations. Identify the most appropriate conguration before installation to specify wiring, LED drivers,
controllers and connections.
The maximum powered length ( ) = Total length of LED strip model (3 or 5m).
1. STRAIGHT RUN - a LED driver powers the receiver of controller and rst LED strip.
Additional strips can be connected in series up to the maximum length (Fig.2).
2. POWERED FROM THE CENTRE Power two strip lengths with the driver and the receiver of controller in
the middle, up to the maximum strip length on each side (check length specication) (Fig.3).
3. ARRAY Two or more strips in a parallel connection to the maximum length (Fig.4).
VOLTAGE DROP: If the total length of the connected strips is more than the total maximum powered length,
you may nd that the LEDs furthest away from the driver will be unlit or dimmed. To avoid this, you will need
additional drivers.
(D) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. To ensure a successful installation – please read the precautions, pre-installation and conguration
recommendations and clarify the position and wiring of the strip. Release the strip from the reel.
2. Measure and carefully cut the strip to the required length using an appropriate cutting tool.
Only cut at the cut-marks with the power OFF (Fig.5). See Section (E) to maintain IP rating.
3. The bending diameter of the strip cannot be less than 50mm (Fig.6).
4. Gradually remove the self-adhesive backing tape during installation. Do NOT remove the backing tape
all at once to avoid the strip becoming entangled (Fig.7).
5. Stick the strip to the mounting areas by carefully but rmly pressing down on the strip to activate the
adhesive. Avoid pressing heavily on LEDs and other components.
6. We would recommend using the mounting clips included in the package to secure the installation.
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure a correct type of screw and tting is used depending on the
mounting substrate. (Fig.8).
7. Once the strip is axed correctly, it is ready to be wired. The power can be turned ON after checking the
supply voltage and wire connections – Please see Section (C).
(E) MAINTAINING IP65 RATING FOR CONNECTIONS AND ENDS OF LED STRIP
1. A compatible silicone sealant is required to maintain the IP65 rating. Wear protective gloves and eyewear
and work on a protected surface (in case of spills) in a well-ventilated area. We recommend that the LED strip
be dried for 24hrs and cured for 7 days before being subjected to water. Ensure the power is OFF and is only
cut at the cut-marks, and a good seal is made.
2. End - Cap – Fill the top of the end-cap with silicone using the nozzle. They carefully ll the end of the strip.
You can use a gloved nger or tool to ensure all gaps are lled (Fig.9).
3. Power Entry End - Cap–Carefully remove enough of the diuser on the strip above the contacts to solder on
wires. Clean the contacts with emery paper and then solder on the power wires. Pay attention to the polarity.
Once the cables have been soldered, safely apply power and controller to the strip to check connections.
Switch OFF the power. Fill the top of the strip with silicone using the nozzle. Apply the end-cap with cable
entry to cover the soldered part. Ensure the gaps around the strip and protruding wires are sealed using a
gloved nger or tool (Fig.10).
CAUTION: Distorting or over bending the strip, cutting at non-cut points, incorrectly powering the strip
or exposing the strip to unsuitable conditions will invalidate the warranty. The strip cannot be returned or
exchange once cut (unless faulty due to parts or workmanship) (your statutory rights remain unaected).
(F) ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS
If you nd the strip is not working, only part of the strip is lit, all or some of the LEDs are intermittently ashing,
or the strip is dim or unevenly lit – Please read the following solutions.
1. Check the LED is compatible – constant-voltage and has the correct voltage – and calculate that the total
wattage of the strips connected to the driver is appropriate. Overvoltage can damage the strip (see Section A).
2. Check all connections, joins, soldering and polarity to the driver, controller and strips for intermittent and
improper connections.
3. Check that the strip is correctly installed and not over-bent.
4. Check the wire lengths between drivers and strips and between strips.
If the wire lengths are too long, shorter or thicker wires may need to be used.
