Step 4: Fitting:
Clear the area you wish to install and remove the backing paper, exposing the adhesive tape. Push tape firmly onto the surface. It is recommended
to work on 50cm sections at a time in order to ensure a professional finish. When you reach the end of your installation cut at the marked cutting
point.
The tape can be terminated at highlighted 10cm cut intervals if less than 5m is required.
FIG 3:
You may also reconnect the two pieces by soldering the point connections together. The tape has 4 tracks for the DC voltage:
Common (indicated as “+12V” on the tape), Green, Red and Blue
To re-attached use a craft knife to cut the Epoxy coating from the terminals.
Use a soldering iron and solder to connect the DC wire to the relative terminals be sure not to cause a short circuit in the process as it will not
work.
FIG4:
WARNING: Only cut the tape on the highlighted intervals. Cutting the tape in other parts without due care will permanently damage that section of
the tape and will result in malfunction.
Points to remember when using this tape
1) Only cut the tape at the highlighted 10cm intervals.
2) Do not connect another reel and operate from a single power supply as this will seriously affect the performance.
3) Ensure you connect the correct wires otherwise the tape will not work.
4) Ensure that when soldering there are no short circuits
5) We recommend use of heat shrink tubing to protect the connection.
6) Check that everything operates correctly before installing.
FAQ:
Q) Can you cut a 5m tape in many of different sections then solder connect them all together?
A) Yes as long as you cut the tape at 10cm intervals highlighted
Q) Can I connect the tape together to form a loop?
A) Yes you can as long as both sides have a sufficient power supply it is possible
Q) Can I use the tape outdoors?
A) Yes the tape is IP65 rated. Ensure though that the terminated ends are heat shrink protected.
Q) Can I use the LED tape without a controller?
A) Yes you can but you can only have a choice of 7 permanent colours. It will be a better solution to buy the single colour tape.
