1.0 Product Description

1.1 LEDStripe Product

LEDStripe product is a low voltage, long life alternative to neon for exterior,

perimeter applications. LEDStripe products are unique in that they use Light Emitting

Diodes (LED’s) instead of neon as a light source. This allows for low voltage (24 volts)

and long life (10+ years) of maintenance free operation. LEDStripe products are

available in 10’, 8’, 6’, 4’, 2’ and 1’ tube lengths. Depending on your installation

requirements and your order, your shipment of LEDStripe can include any combination

of these lengths. The different lengths can be connected to each other with a weather

resistant connector.

1.2 PowerLED Transformer

PowerLED are transformers that step down the voltage from 120 or 277 (depending on

model ordered) to 24 volts, the operating voltage of the LEDStripe system. Each

transformer has 3 individual outputs. Each output powers 30 feet of LEDStripe for a total

of 90 feet per transformer. PowerLED transformers draw a maximum of 3 amps each on

the primary power side and in most cases draw considerably less current.

3.0 Planning Layout

3.1 Mechanical

3.1.1 Standard product layout

LEDStripe can be mounted to metal fascia, stucco, concrete, brick or any other surface

that can be fastened to with conventional fasteners. Using the architectural drawings of

the building or a field survey of the building, determine where LEDStripe is to be

installed.

Note: Standard LEDStripe product can only be mounted to straight surfaces (For

information on curved surfaces see section 3.1.2).

Using the drawings or field survey, determine the length of each side of the building or

single continuous straight run where LEDStripe will be installed. Break these lengths

into sections of 30 feet or less. (30 feet is the maximum length of LEDStripe that can be

run on one leg of a transformer).

Determine the correct lengths of LEDStripe product needed to populate each run of 30

feet or less. Where ever possible use 10 foot sections (701189-10). These are the most

efficient to install and result in a minimum of joints. Where a 10 foot sections is too long,

use one of the smaller units. (Sections available are nominal lengths of 10’, 8’, 6’, 4’, 2’

and 1’) See section 4.1.1 for actual lengths.

Note: These units are field cutable. To fill an area that is longer than one section size,

but smaller than the next size up, choose the larger section and have the installer cut it

to fit in the field. See section 4.4

Transformers should now be located to power each of this 30 foot or less LEDstripe

runs. It is generally most efficient to place a transformer at a joint where it can power a

30-foot run to the left and a 30-foot run to the right. The third leg of the transformer is

left unused. To use the third leg of the transformer the installer would run 14 AWG cable

along the 30 feet of LEDStripe to the beginning of a third run.

3.1.2 Radius LEDStripe Sections

LEDStripe sections can be formed to fit curved sections of an installation. It can be

bent to form a radial section or flat bend sections.

Examples of a radial section would be:

-A building with radius corners. LEDStripe sections can be formed to follow the

building corner radius.

-A column. LEDStripe can be formed to wrap around a column in sections.

Examples of a flat bend section would be:

-A round logo on the front of a building. LEDStripe sections can be formed to circle

the logo and mount flat on the wall of the building.

WI-09-237 Rev. J P/N 701202 3.15.06 SloanLED Page 7 of 22

-A sign or feature on the wall of a building with radius corners. LEDStripe can be

formed to follow the radius of the sign or feature and mount flat on the face of the

building.

Bending Details:

Gentle bends such as arch ways over a door or curved building facia can be followed

with straight sections of LEDStirpe if the mounting radius is 19’ or larger. To install

LEDStripe on a curved surface with a radius of 19’ or larger, install a mounting button

every 12” and slide the LEDStripe on the mounting buttons. After positioning, secure

the center mounting bracket.

-All bends with a mounting surface radius smaller than 19’ are custom made to order.

- Custom made LEDStripe bending is only be done by SloanLED and on special order. It

can not be bent or formed in the field.

-Minimum bending radius for LEDStripe is 8” mounting surface radius.

(Call SloanLED and speak with a sales representative about details, tooling and bend

charges for custom bends)

3.2 Electrical

PowerLED transformers can be mounted anywhere on or in the building at a maximum

distance from the LEDStripe of 50 feet (if 14 AWG UL Listed PLTC is used between the

PowerLED and the LEDStripe). A distance of 15’ or less when the 18 AWG UL Listed

PLTC cables provided are used. Locate the transformers such that they are central to

the LEDStripe sections they are powering. When laying out the location of the

transformers, the location of available junction boxes and how to run the primary to them

should be taken into consideration. When mounting outdoors, additional protection is

required to prevent precipitation from entering the transformer enclosure. A UL Wet

Location or NEMA 3R transformer enclosure is recommended. No more than 2

transformers should be mounted in one enclosure. In all outdoor installations, primary

power (120 VAC) can be routed by using standard conduit and installation techniques (in

accordance with codes and accomplished by a licensed electrician). SEE SECTION 5.0

FOR HOOK UP DETAILS.

3.3 Environmental Considerations

When installing LEDStripe, consider that each 10 foot section will expand or contract

about ½” from one extreme of temperature to the other (From -20°F to +150°F). If the

product is installed in temperatures below 40°F, leave a ¼” gap between large lengths

(8’ or 10’) to allow for expansion when the weather warms. This gap will not be visible

after installation of the joint covers (P/N 701361).

If the ambient temperature around transformer exceeds 120°F and the transformer is

fully loaded, nuisance tripping may occur. However once the ambient temperature drops

below 120°F the transformer will return to normal operation. If extremely high

temperatures are expected during regular operating hours, reduce the load on each leg

to eliminate nuisance tripping.

4.0 Installing LEDStripe

4.1 Layout Locations on the Building

Using the LEDStripe layout you created or the layout SloanLED created for you, locate

the mounting positions of your PowerLED transformers. Mount the transformers and

notify the electrician to provide primary power to each transformer.

Note: If transformers are mounted in a location exposed to weather, they must be

mounted in an appropriate, weather resistant, electrical enclosure.

The next step is to determine the location of the centerline of the LEDStripe product

relative to the top or bottom of building or canopy. Snap a chalk line in the location of this

centerline.

4.1.1 Mark for Fasteners

The recommended spacing for mounting buttons is 3” in from each end of the LEDStripe

section and 2’ on center for the length of the section. Marking a tape measure with

these increments is helpful in ensuring consistency of installation (example - mark the

tape measure at 3”, 24”, 48”, 72”, 96” and 118 3/8” points, which coincide with the

mounting points recommended for the installation of a 10‘ section). Notice the last

mounting button location is 118 5/8” not 10’ minus 3”. This is because the 10’ section is

actually 10’ 1 3/8”. (10’ 1 3/8” = 121 3/8”. Subtract 3” and you get 118 3/8”).

LEDStripe Nominal Length LEDStripe Actual Length

1 foot 12 7/8”

2 foot 24 7/8”

4 foot 48 7/8”

6 foot 73 3/8”

8 foot 97 3/8”

10 foot 121 3/8”

Figure 3. Marking the mounting button location

4.2 Install Fasteners

Secure a mounting button on the center chalk line at each of the marks you just made.

Use a #8 Pan head screw of the correct thread type and length for the mounting surface

you are securing the product to. If the mounting surface is brick, stucco or concrete, a

masonry anchor or insert should be used.

4.3 Slide or Snap LEDStripe into position

In most cases, the LEDStripe section can be slid into place on the mounting buttons.

With the LEDStripe section oriented such that the large connector is located on the left

side (as you are facing the building) and the bracket on top, guide the LEDStripe onto

the buttons. If there is an obstacle to sliding the LEDStirpe unit onto the buttons, it can

also be snapped on. Position the LEDStripe section such that the large connector is

located on the left side (as you are facing the building) and the bottom lip of the

LEDStripe tube-mounting track is inside the mounting button bottom groove. Then apply

gentle upward pressure until the LEDStripe section “snaps” onto the buttons (as shown

in Fig. 5).

Correctly attached LEDStripe section to mounting button

Figure 6

After the section is securely on the wall, slide it into its final position. When the

LEDStripe section is in the correct location, secure it in place using the center mounting

bracket with a #8 pan head screw of the correct thread type and length for the mounting

surface you are securing the product to. If the mounting surface is brick, stucco or

concrete, a masonry anchor or insert should be used. For the first section of a string,

position the LEDStripe section in the correct location. For all subsequent units, slide the

section up against the proceeding section after sliding or snapping it onto the buttons.

Prior to sliding the section up against another section, fasten each connector assembly

together and tuck the wires and connectors into the mounting button track so they are

out of the way and not visible from ground level. When the electrical connection is made

and the units are butted up to each other and secured in place at the center-mounting

bracket, the joint cover can be installed. The joint cover is shown in figure 12. It snaps

over the joint and is kept from sliding left or right by a plastic pin. The joint cover helps

to hide the joint and give a continuous tube appearance to the LEDStripe installation.

Corner joint covers are also available for inside corners, outside corners and step

corners. The corner joint covers snap over the corner to give a finished mitered look to

the corner (see Figures 19 thru 22). Follow installation layout drawings for number of

sections to connect together and where the PowerLED transformer input connection will

be located. Please check to make sure that no more than 30 continuous feet of

LEDStripe is connected together on a single leg of the transformer.
