How to use SureLock Connectors
SureLock Connectors – both the wire lead and splice models – connect to the copper pads
on cut sections of LED tape lighting. Connect to only clean copper pads. Do not use
connectors on soldered joints.
Always cut LED tape directly in the center of the
copper pad, as shown. However, if your LED tape
model has very short copper pads, you may have
to cut to one side or the other of the pads to leave
suffi cient copper surface area so the SureLock
connector can make proper contact.
Carefully peel back a small section of the adhesive tape paper backing – remove only
■
the paper, not the adhesive underneath.
With the connector in an upright
■
position (logo facing up), carefully
insert the LED tape into the channel
grooves, as shown at right.
Use a gentle, side-to-side motion while
■
inserting to make sure the tape light is
seated fully inside the connector.
Once the lighting is seated, push to close and securely lock the pressure pad door.
■
If needed, put the tape and connector upside down on a hard surface and use a fl at
head screwdriver to close and lock the door in place.
Once tape is fully inside connector,
close and lock pressure pad door.
Perform an overall power test to ensure that all connections are secure and all LEDs
■
light before fi nal installation.
Follow the same basic instructions when using SureLock Splice Connectors.
Be sure pressure
pad door snaps
securely into
connector grooves
Use a fl at head screwdriver
to securely lock door if necessary.
