-A sign or feature on the wall of a building with radius corners. LEDStripe can be
formed to follow the radius of the sign or feature and mount flat on the face of the
building.
Bending Details:
Gentle bends such as arch ways over a door or curved building facia can be followed
with straight sections of LEDStirpe if the mounting radius is 19’ or larger. To install
LEDStripe on a curved surface with a radius of 19’ or larger, install a mounting button
every 12” and slide the LEDStripe on the mounting buttons. After positioning, secure
the center mounting bracket.
-All bends with a mounting surface radius smaller than 19’ are custom made to order.
- Custom made LEDStripe bending is only be done by SloanLED and on special order. It
can not be bent or formed in the field.
-Minimum bending radius for LEDStripe is 8” mounting surface radius.
(Call SloanLED and speak with a sales representative about details, tooling and bend
charges for custom bends)
3.2 Electrical
PowerLED transformers can be mounted anywhere on or in the building at a maximum
distance from the LEDStripe of 50 feet (if 14 AWG UL Listed PLTC is used between the
PowerLED and the LEDStripe). A distance of 15’ or less when the 18 AWG UL Listed
PLTC cables provided are used. Locate the transformers such that they are central to
the LEDStripe sections they are powering. When laying out the location of the
transformers, the location of available junction boxes and how to run the primary to them
should be taken into consideration. When mounting outdoors, additional protection is
required to prevent precipitation from entering the transformer enclosure. A UL Wet
Location or NEMA 3R transformer enclosure is recommended. No more than 2
transformers should be mounted in one enclosure. In all outdoor installations, primary
power (120 VAC) can be routed by using standard conduit and installation techniques (in
accordance with codes and accomplished by a licensed electrician). SEE SECTION 5.0
FOR HOOK UP DETAILS.
3.3 Environmental Considerations
When installing LEDStripe, consider that each 10 foot section will expand or contract
about ½” from one extreme of temperature to the other (From -20°F to +150°F). If the
product is installed in temperatures below 40°F, leave a ¼” gap between large lengths
(8’ or 10’) to allow for expansion when the weather warms. This gap will not be visible
after installation of the joint covers (P/N 701361).
If the ambient temperature around transformer exceeds 120°F and the transformer is
fully loaded, nuisance tripping may occur. However once the ambient temperature drops
below 120°F the transformer will return to normal operation. If extremely high
temperatures are expected during regular operating hours, reduce the load on each leg
to eliminate nuisance tripping.
