Operating Instructions for LED Strips

LED strips advantages are high brightness and balancing illumination, low power consumption, long

lifespan, environmental friendliness, ease of installation, and a wide color palette.

To ensure the proper operation of the strip and to avoid malfunctions, you must adhere to the operating

conditions, as well as properly carry out the power supply calculation and installation.

Operating temperature: -40 ºC to + 60 ºC (from -20 ºC to + 50 ºC for the silicone-coated strip). Operating

voltage: 12 V ± 5% (exceeding the operating voltage range can result in malfunctions or can cause the strip to

stop working completely).

LED strips without moisture proof coating (IP20 rating) are designed for indoor use when relative humidity

does not exceed 70%.

LED strips with silicone coating (IP65 rating) are designed for indoor use in rooms with high humidity (up to

85%) and outdoor use under sheds that can safely protect a strip from direct sunlight or contact with droplets

of liquid.

LED strips of IP67 rating (PVC tube) can be used outdoors and under water up to 2 m deep.

Calculating power of the power supply for a LED strip:

When choosing a power source, keep in mind the rule that its power should be higher than the total power of

the strip connected and should have the margin of 25%.

In order to calculate the power of power supply you need to multiply the consumed power of one meter of the

strip by the number of meters you connect to the power supply, and multiply the received figure by safety

margin of 1.25.

For proper operation, LED strips should be powered not more than 5 meters away from a power source.

Sections longer than 5 m should be connected to the main power line separately. It will increase the lifespan

and will make illumination more balancing.

Wiring diagram of a RGB strip: Note: Minimum radii are only permitted in sections with no components. If you need to connect more power, it is necessary to increase the wire sections proportionally to the supply current. Before switching on, make sure that the input power supply voltage corresponds to its operating range. When working with the strip, observe the rules of protection against static electricity.

Installing LED strips: 1. Clean, degrease and dry the surface where the LED strip will be mounted. 2. Remove the protective paper and apply the strip. Gently press the strip to the mounting surface until tightly glued (do not press LEDs, resistors, and controls). The surface where the strip is glued must be solid and without breaks to avoid damages to the strip. 3. Connect the LED strip with wire supply every 5 meters (wiring diagrams of LED strips are shown above). 4.

The LED strip has low light intensity LEDs blink 3. LED strip circuit is damaged. Replace the damaged segment of the circuit. 1. Power supply congestion. Replace the power supply with a more powerful one or increase the number of power supply sources. 2. Conductor loss is too high. Replace or add power wires; change the connection of the power supply source that ensures that every joint has the voltage not less than 95% of the declared one. 3.Too many LED strips are connected.
