1
Before you begin, clean
surfaces and remove all debris
from the inside of the channel
letter.Clean the surfaces with
a 50:50 mixture of isopropyl
alcohol (IPA) and water and let
dry.
4
Use the double stick tape or
electrical grade RTV silicone
to fix LED module within the
channel letter.
Electrical Connections
NOTE: Do not use connectors pre-filled with silicone grease/mineral base protective grease or use silicone grease to seal connections.
Seal all connections in wet locations
Red stripe (+)
1
Connect LED strips using in-line (IDC) connectors or
twist-on wire connectors.
NOTE: Seal all connections in wet locations with
electrical grade RTV silicone.
2
Measure and cut Tetra LED
strip to the appropriate length
for each letter. Cuts can be
made between any of the
modules.
5
Drill a 1/4-inch (6.4 mm)
hole near the LED strip and
grommet the hole for supply
wire access.
NOTE: For halo-lit applications LED modules should be mounted on UL
recognized clear acrylic or polycarbonate. The light output from the LED
system should be directed back into the sign enclosure. This will allow for
uniform backlighting of the sign and will provide simple mounting.

Must cap all exposed wires with appropriate wire
connectors and seal with electrical grade RTV silicone.
Optional: Cut wires flush to the module and seal with
electrical grade RTV silicone.
3
Do not

3
Remove tape backing and stick
LED modules into place. When
using tape apply approximately
15 psi pressure on the module
(avoid the lens dome surface) for
5 seconds, full bonding strength
after 24 hours. Continue until you
have reached the end of the strip.
