Safety Information

WARNING: ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL SHOULD PERFORM INSTALLATION.

TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR COMPONENT DAMAGE, DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE ATTEMPTING

INSTALLATION OF THE POWER SUPPLIES AND/OR MODULES.

Failure to install the power supplies and/or LED modules in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC), all applicable Federal, State and local

electric codes as well as the specific Underwriters Laboratories (UL) safety standards for the installation, location and application may cause serious

personal injury, death, property damage and/or product malfunction.

These instructions are guidelines for installation of SYLVANIA LED modules and power supplies. Installation requirements may vary depending

on the application. Licensed electricians should provide all installation services for connection of both primary and secondary (input/output)

of the power supplies.

1. The LED itself and all its components must not be mechanically stressed.

2. Assembly must not damage or destroy conducting paths on the circuit board.

3. Observe correct electrical polarity! For all W3/W3F types of this product wrong polarity will lead to an emission of red light. WARNING: reverse polarity can

destroy these modules. Immediately shut off power and correct polarity!

4. Please ensure that the power supply is of adequate power rating to operate the total load. Follow appropriate NEC requirements.

5. When mounting on metallic or otherwise conductive surfaces, an electrical isolation is required at soldering points between the module and the mounting surface.

6. The entire LINEARlight POWER FLEX module can be operated with a power feed at one end of the module.

7. Pay attention to standard Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions when installing the module.

8. The module, as manufactured, has no conformal coating and therefore offers no inherent protection against corrosion. The ability to customize the length of the

module by cutting at specifically marked points is a key feature of the product and hence the reason for no factory installed conformal coating. For these reasons,

it is recommended that the user complete all module modifications first (cutting, wiring) and then apply a conformal coating in the final stages of installation.

9. Damage by corrosion will not be honored as a materials defect claim. It is the user’s responsibility to provide suitable protection against corrosive agents such as

moisture and condensation and other harmful elements.

10. For applications involving exposure to humidity and dust, the module must be protected by a fixture, or housing with a suitable protection class. The module can be

protected against condensation water by treatment with an appropriate circuit grade conformal coating. The conformal coating should have the following features:

• Optical transparency

• UV-resistance

• Thermal expansion matching the thermal expansion of the module 15-30*^-6cm/cm/K

• Low permeability of steam for all climatic conditions

• Resistance against corrosive environment

The lacquer APL of the company Electrolube http://www.electrolube.com has met the conditions for LINEARlight FLEX in our tests.

The LED Module incorporates no protection against short circuits, overload or overheating. Therefore it is necessary to operate the modules with an

electronically stabilized power supply offering protection against the above mentioned safety risks.

OSRAM OPTOTRONIC power supplies are specifically designed with protection features for safe operation.

When using power supplies other than OPTOTRONIC the following basic safety features should be verified in addition to any other application specific

concerns and local safety codes:

• Short circuit protection

• Overload protection

• Overheat protection

• Correct output voltage, including consideration for ripple and spikes

Assembly Information

1. Solder connections should only be performed on designated solder pads (marked “24V +/-”). During soldering, do not exceed the maximum soldering time of

10 seconds and the maximum soldering temperature of 260°C.

2. The Smallest Electrical Unit (SEU) or "coupon" can be removed by cutting with scissors between the designated solder pads (reference "Assembly Diagram"

for location).
