Caution: TRACE™ RGBW is designed to work with listed Class 2

24V DC transformers only. Use of any other power source will

cause damage, shorten the life of the fixture and will void the

warranty.

Consult any and all applicable local and national codes for

installation.

Do not conceal or extend exposed conductors through a building

wall as per local electrical code.

Warning: With any luminaire for any application, basic safety

precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,

electric shock and personal injuries. This lighting system should be

installed by a certified professional.

TRACE™ is an indoor/outdoor low voltage lighting system

used primarily for direct or indirect lighting designs.

Do not allow to twist or bend in the wrong direction.

WARNINGS

Keep Trace™ from twisting or bending in the wrong direction.

Two person installation.

WARNING! Risk of product damage.

Longer runs of Trace™ lighting strands must be installed by at least

two people.

IMPORTANT! The Trace™ luminaire must not be allowed to bend or

hang down. That way, the bending limit will not be inadvertently

exceeded, resulting in product damage.

TRACE™ RGBW MAY BE EASILY DAMAGED! The reliability of

the product can only be ensured if these warnings and cautions

are complied with faithfully. Keep these instructions for future

maintenance work.

Warning! Risk of product damage.

Trace™ RGBW Horizontal must not be bent at less than 2.0” diameter or damage will result. Do not allow Trace™ to twist or bend in the wrong

direction.

WARNING! Risk of Damage.

Insert Trace™ RGBW Horizontal into

channel evenly and gradually

to keep twisting and

bending to a minimum.

Overview: Read Before Installing Luminaire

Installation Notes:

Step 1: Measure run area where Trace™ RGBW is to be installed.

Locate power feed end at highest point of the run to minimize

exposure to water run off.

Step 2: A Mounting Channel is recommended for outdoor

applications. Lay channel along desired area and attach with screws

(by others) every 18 to 24 inches. If the design requires creating

bends and arcs, it is recommended that the Horizontal Notched

Channel be used. Mounting Clips are for use on indoor applications

only.

Note: Minimum bending diameter for the notched channel is 11”.

Trace™ Horizontal must not be bent less than 2” diameter or damage

will result.

Step 3: Trace™ must be installed with two people. One to press

the luminaire into the channel and the other to hold the spool and

unroll it while keeping the Trace™ flex body straight.

Warning: Risk of Product damage.

Do not stretch, pull, or yank. Doing so can damage the Trace™

internal connections and void the warranty.

Step 4: Insert Trace™ into mounted channel starting from power

connector end. The End Cap and Power Feed Connector do not fit

within the channel, so cut the Mounting Channel so that connectors

and End Caps will overhang outside the ends of the Channel. Trace™

should be pressed into the channel carefully and gradually, without

excessive bending or damage will result.

Note: We recommend using a dry spray lubricant, such as 3M Spray

Lubricant or WD-40 Specialist for all Trace™ installations to insure the

luminaire fits into the channel without damage. Additionally, when

installing with Mounting Clips, Silicone Sealant (FLXD-SIL-GE-10)

may be applied to the inside bottom surface.

Step 5: Secure power connection to building with use of C-clamp

(by others) or mount connection inside J-Box.

Connect to 24V DC power supply according to supplied wiring

diagrams.

Trace™ Horizontal with Mounting Clips

Warning: Risk of Product Damage.

Only bend the Trace™ RGBW Horizontal so the lens bends side to side.

See diagram below.

Note: Minimum bending diameter for Trace™ Horizontal is 2” in the

horizontal direction only.

Step 1: Determine where the Mounting Clips will need to be installed

to achieve the desired shape.

Step 2: Position the Mounting Clips and attach with screws

(Included).

Step 3: Lay a bead of Silicone Adhesive (LFXD-SIL-GE-10) to the

inside bottom surfaces of the Mounting Clips, as shown.

Step 4: Spray Dry Lubricant on a rag and wipe the inside upper

surfaces of the mounting clips, as shown, to allow the Trace™ xture

to slide more easily into the mounting clip. 3M Spray Lubricant or

WD-40 Specialist is recommended.

Warning! Risk of Product Damage.

Regular WD40 490002 will stress craze, crack or swell the Trace™

Silicone covering. Do not use!

Step 5: Trace™ must be installed with two people. One to press

the luminaire into the channel and the other to hold the spool and

unroll it while keeping the Trace™ flex body straight.

Step 6: Press Trace™ into the Mounting Clip carefully and gradually,

without excessive bending or damage will result.

WARNING! Risk of Product Damage.

Do not hammer or pound the luminaire into the channel. Once

inserted, do not pull or yank on the xture. Trace™ will be damaged

unless it is handled carefully.

Step 7: Connect to power.

Bending Limitations

Warning! Risk of Product Damage.

Trace™ RGBW Horizontal can only be bent in the direction that does

not twist the Tape Light.

Install Trace™ Horizontal in Notched Mounting Channel

Warning: Risk of Product Damage.

Only bend the Trace™ Horizontal so the lens bends side to side so as

not to twist the Tape Light. See diagram.

Note: Minimum bending diameter for the notched channel is 11”.

However, the minimum bending diameter for Trace™ Horizontal is 2”

in the horizontal direction only.

Step 1: Determine Channel mounting Location.

Step 2: Drill a hole 3” from each end of the Channel and 18”-24”

along length of Channel.

Step 3: Position the Notched Channel and attach with screws

(Included).

Step 4: Spray dry lubricant on a rag and wipe along the inside upper

surfaces of the extrusion. We recommend using a dry spray lubricant,

such as 3M Spray Lubricant or WD-40 Specialist for all Trace™

installations to insure the luminaire fits into the channel without

damage.

Step 5: Start by orienting the Trace™ with the Lens facing away from

the Channel, as shown.

Step 6: Trace™ must be installed with two people. One to press

the luminaire into the channel and the other to hold the spool and

unroll it while keeping the Trace™ flex body straight.

Step 7: Insert the Trace™ body into the Channel one ex section at a

time. Start at one end and and press it down carefully and gradually,

working along the Channel, inserting the Trace™ body into each

section until the entire Trace™ xture is securely mounted in the

channel.

WARNING! Risk of Product Damage.

Do not hammer or pound the luminaire into the channel. Once

inserted, do not pull or yank on the xture. Trace™ will be damaged

unless it is handled carefully.

Step 8: Connect to power.

Straight Channel for Trace™RGBW Horizontal Installation

Step 1: Prepare Straight Mounting Channel for installation cutting it

to the correct length, keeping in mind that the End Caps will not t

inside the Channel, and by drilling screw holes 3”from each end and

additional holes approximately every 18” along the channel.

Step 2: Place Straight Channel on the mounting surface and mark

the hole locations.

Step 3: Remove the Channel and drill pilot holes at all hole locations.

Step 4: Place the Channel into position and secure with screws (not

included).

Note: Screws should be appropriate for the mounting location.

(ie: wood screws for wood, etc.)

Step 5: Spray dry lubricant on a rag and wipe along the inside upper

surfaces of the extrusion. We recommend using a dry spray lubricant,

such as 3M Spray Lubricant or WD-40 Specialist for all Trace™

installations to insure the luminaire fits into the channel without

damage.

Step 6: Trace™ must be installed with two people. One to press

the luminaire into the channel and the other to hold the spool and

unroll it while keeping the Trace™ flex body straight.

Step 7: Start by orienting the Trace™ with the Lens facing away from

the Channel, as shown.

Step 8: IMPORTANT! Insert the Trace™ body into the Channel. Start

at one end and and press it down carefully and gradually, working

along the Channel, inserting the Trace™ body along the channel until

the entire Trace™ xture is securely mounted in the channel.

WARNING! Risk of Product Damage.

Do not hammer or pound the luminaire into the channel. Once

inserted, do not pull or yank on the xture. Trace™ will be damaged if

it is not handled carefully.

Step 9: Connect to power.
