indicated mark.

• Do not puncture, shorten, or splice the exible lighting. Only cut the CabLED strip where

indicated.

• Create a layout plan before installation. Follow steps to locate power supply and determine

suitable mounting methods and required connectors and accessories. Measure and calculate

the required length of CabLED before beginning installation.

• CabLED connectors have sharp pins inside. Follow instructions when handling.

• Use only CabLED connectors, mountings and power supply. Carefully follow the instructions to

install and mount.

• Secure this exible strip using only the CabLED connectors and mounting solutions provided.

Do not secure this product or its cord with staples, nails, or like means that may damage the

insulation.

LED Strip The exible CabLED strip uses CREE High Brightness LED lights. They are

set every inch and can be cut every 7.09 inches (18cm) up to lengths of 82

feet (25m). The strips are available in Cool White (6500K), a bright, bluish

white generally used for task lighting and Warm White (3500K) a yellowish

white more commonly used in living spaces.

Connectors A variety of easy-to-use connectors are designed for specic uses

in different installations. The connectors are used to attach sections

of CabLED strip together at virtually any angle to form endless

congurations, as well as connect the strip to the power supply.

Accessories • The Inline On/Off Dimmer Switch is mounted with your system,

adding dimmer and power functions when connecting to an outlet

not controlled by a light switch. It offers full dimming range, fades the

CabLED system on and off, and retains last dimming level selected with

a simple push of buttons.

• The RF Light/Motion Sensor has a fully weather-resistant case to

protect it from the elements. It automatically activates the CabLED

system when something moves within 50 feet (15m) of the sensor. It

is also equipped with a photocell that detects light and can be set to

turn the system on when it’s dark or only when it detects motion. The

system will automatically turn off when it no longer detects motion for

the length of time you specify, between 30 seconds and 30 minutes. It

comes with a receiver.

• The RF Remote Dimmer offers full dimming range, fades the CabLED

system on and off, and retains last dimming level selected with a simple

push of buttons on the remote unit. It comes with a receiver with a

range of 65 feet (20m).

Power Every installation requires a CabLED power supply. There are twenty 24

volt power supplies available for installations worldwide. The available

power supplies are separated by suitable plugs for each region. After

identifying the correct region, determine the length of CabLED strip

needed to select the correct power supply for each installation. If you

are unsure of the correct voltage, contact a qualied electrician.

Mounting A choice of six mounting solutions are available.
