WARNING:
This fi xture is intended for installation in
accordance with the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and all local code specifi cations. If
you are not familiar with code requirements,
installation by a certifi ed electrician is
recommended.
Supply leads and interconnects are not listed

*6T1xxUHxxxx (Ultra High) is not compatible with
the Terminal Block Connector System.
• This fi xture can only be used with Kichler® Class
2, 24V DC power supplies and accessories.
• Voltage drop limits the linear run length of 24V
DC fi xtures, and these lengths differ between the
products listed below.
a. 6T1xxSxxxx = 32 feet (Standard)
b. 6T1xxHxxxx = 20 feet (High)
• Do not exceed run lengths marked above on
any single Terminal Block. If additional length is
needed, multiple strings of tape may be connected
to the power supply.
• Total wattage of tape light should not exceed
power supply wattage. To determine the total
wattage of tape light, multiply the total number
of feet used by the wattages listed below for the
appropriate tape light type.
a. 6T1xxSxxxx = 1.5 W/ft. (Standard)
b. 6T1xxHxxxx = 3 W/ft. (High)
* Maximum linear run length is determined using a
96W power supply & a 1' power supply lead with a
continuous linear run of LED tape light.
Suitable for 30°C Ambient.

Pre Installation Checklist
• Prepare the location that the LED tape light
will be installed. Make sure that the area has
been thoroughly cleaned and is dry. If installing
underneath a cabinet, it is recommended to install
tape light at least 1-1/2” away from cabinet lip to
prevent shadowing on counter top surface.
• Determine location for power supply and length
of supply lead wire that will be needed.
• Determine how many sections of tape light and
different lengths of connectors that will be needed.
Installation
1. Install power supply.
Note: The power supply should be installed by a
qualifi ed electrician and be installed in accordance
with national and local electric codes. Refer to the
power supply installation instructions for further
detail.
2. Run supply lead wire from power supply to
beginning of tape light run.
Warning: Do not connect lead wire to power
supply yet.
3. Measure, and if necessary, cut the fi rst section
of tape light, leaving a minimum of one inch of
space on each end for connections.
Note: To cut the tape light, use a pair of sharp
scissors or snips and cut on the dotted cut line
only.
4. Peel off ¼” of the adhesive backing from either
end of the tape that will be inserted into the
Terminal Block.
7. Remove 3M™ backing from tape light and
Terminal Block and apply, making sure to press
between the LEDs and other components.
Pressing on the LEDs and other components
will result in damage.
Note: For best results, peel off backing and
apply tape light in small sections starting at the
beginning of the run.
Note: Avoid using excessive force to prevent
damage to LEDs and other components. Do
not bend the tape light at the LED.
8. Install any additional sections of tape light and
Terminal Blocks in the same manner.
9. Connect power supply lead wire to power
supply and turn on.
Note: Before powering on the system, double
check that all connections are secure and that
all polarity (+/-) symbols are properly oriented.

5. Fully insert tape light into Terminal Block.
Tighten screws, ensuring each screw is in contact
with each respective copper pad on the tape light.
Note: Apply proper torque to screws such that
the Terminal Block is secure. Take care to not
overtighten and cause deformation to the Terminal
Block.
6. Connect supply lead wire to Terminal Block. If
necessary, strip supply lead wire ¼” and insert into
wire end of Terminal Block. Tighten screws, taking
care to not overtighten and cause deformation to
the Terminal Block.
Note: Make sure +/- symbols on tape light line up
with the +/- indicators of the supply lead wire to
align polarity.
