CUTTING ROPE LIGHT (see Figure 2)

PLEASE SEE POWER CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH POWER CONNECTOR KIT FOR DETAILS.
NOTE: Do not exceed 150 foot maximum run distance in any single run.

1. Determine the required length for Rope Light.
2. Cut the Rope Light at the end/beginning of the nearest series
increment. NOTE: Rope Light is wired in series parallel and
every 18” comprises a series increment. Cutting anywhere other
than the end/beginning of a series increment will result in a loss
of 18” (total) of light. See Figure 2.
4. Attach the plastic cap on the other end of the length of Rope
Light by pressing firmly until seated. For outdoor applications,
use dielectric grease inside the end cap before attaching and
seal the connection with heat shrink tube.

INSTALLING ROPE LIGHT
1. Attach mounting clips with nails or screws onto wooden surfaces.
Be sure that surface is mechanically sound. See Figure 3.
2. For best results, mounting clips should be evenly spaced and be
a maximum of 12 inches apart. However, for straight line
applications, use DL-TRACK-4 for RL Series or MDL-TRACK-4
for MRL Series.
3. Make sure that the distance between two lines of Rope Light
are at least 1/2" apart.
4. Gently press rope light into track or clips so that it snaps into place.
