Armacost Lighting RigidStrip Guide Rapide page 2

RigidStrips join end-to-end with the integrated linking connector.
Remove the included end cap and gently insert the protruding
connector of the next light into the place the end cap was. The
connector is designed to insert one way only, be sure the LEDs are
facing the same direction.
After connecting together any adjacent RigidStrip sections, use gentle
pressure to snap them into the surface mount clips.
Note: If connecting 3 or more RigidStrips in a row, it may be necessary
to fi rst install the lights into the clips, then slide them together to
complete the connection.
Use the 2-in. Jumper Connector to connect two RigidStrips at an angle,
or around a corner. Splice in additional wire to extend the connector
and bridge larger gaps and turns in your lighting layout.
Be sure all wire splice connections are secure and sealed. Options
include soldering, electrical tape, crimp connectors, terminal blocks,
wire nuts, etc.

Complete your installation by applying power with a 60-in. Power Lead
Connector. Hook up a Power Lead Connector to the fi rst light in each
leg. Be sure polarity is properly connected to your power supply and
power on to test.
Troubleshooting
RigidStrip does not light
Make sure your LED power supply is receiving 120-volt power.
■
Confi rm you have maintained correct polarity (+ to + and – to –)
■
when joining RigidStrips to the power supply.
Check all connections and any switch or dimmer connections from
■
the power supply to the LED tape light. Consider testing with a
multimeter to ensure your RigidStrip is receiving power.
Only part of the RigidStrip array is lit
Check connections at the part where the RigidStrips transfer from
■
lit to unlit.
Confi rm that your strips are facing the same direction and the
■
connectors are pushed together tightly.
RigidStrip blinks on and off
Your power supply is not adequate for the amount of RigidStrips
■
you are powering. Install a higher wattage power supply or reduce
watts used by removing RigidStrip sections.
LEDs farthest from the power supply are noticeably dimmer
This is the result of voltage drop. Decrease the length of the power
■
feed wires or use thicker power feed wires between the power
supply and the tape lighting.
Do not exceed 8 sections in one leg of lighting. Consider
■
separating your lighting into multiple, smaller legs.
