must be connected to a NRTL Listed
Class 2, 24V DC power supply.
• Voltage drop limits the linear run length
of 24V DC fixtures, and these lengths
differ between the products
listed below.
a. 6T1xxSxxxx = 32 feet (Standard)
b. 6T1xxHxxxx = 20 feet (High)
• 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.

INSTALLATION
1. Install power supply.
Note: The power supply should be installed
by a qualified 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.
Do not connect lead wire to power
supply yet.
3. Measure, and if necessary, cut the
first 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. Completely remove ¼" of the
adhesive backing from either end
of the tape that will be inserted
into the connector.
Caution: If the adhesive backing is not
removed, this may cause damage to
the connector.
5. Connect tape light to supply lead wire.
Note: Make sure +/- symbols on tape
light line up with the +/- symbols on
the connector of the supply lead wire.
TO CONNECT
1. Open connector gently using your
finger nail.
2. Slide tape light into front of connector
making sure that the tape is kept
flat when placed in the connector’s
guides. Gently push the tape light
forward until the tape light is fully
seated in the connector and is under
the prongs.
Note: Check that the connection is
secure and that polarity (+/-) symbols
are oriented in the same direction.
3. Close connector.
4. Remove 3M backing from tape light
and apply making sure to press
between the LED’s and other
components. Pressing on the
LED’s and other components will
result in damage to the tape.
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.
6. Install any additional sections of
tape light and connectors in the
same manner.
7. Connect power supply lead 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 oriented in the same direction.
Remove 1/4” of the
adhesive backing
