1 RGB SkyLine Rigid Border Tubing Installation Instructions

2 Project Planning and Preparation(s) What you will need for parts and pieces... XXX XX Step One: Take a lineal measurement of the overall length of the portion of the building where you plan to instal the border tube(s). Step Two: Divide the overall length by the best stock sized tube(s) to achieve the most esthetically appealing installation. For example if this building was 37 long the optimal sized tube would be ARBT-74-RGB meaning that the tube is 74 long and when not lit. Based on that you would specify (6) of this unit P/N to complete the project with the least amount of seams. Page of 3

3 Project Planning laying out the installation: Where you will apply the border tubes and proven methods for layout... TBD Chalkline Level and Pencil Step Three: using a Level or a Chalk line make a line across the entire length of the installation This will ensure that each tube applied will stay on the same level plane. Step Four: after you have determined how may mounting clips you will need, install them spaced according to the length of the specified tube(s), spacing them or on center. for pieces less than 6 long you will install the fixture using one spring clip on each end Stainless Steel Spring Clip Inline Aluminum Clip As illustrated on the installation drawing, whenever possible it is recommended that you wire the fixtures from the center in both directions this will insure all tubes will have optimum power.

4 Project installation and wiring: Note: all electrical connections must be completed by qualified person(s) and in accordance to local electrical codes... Stainless SteelClip Aluminum Slide Clip Step Five: Install the border tubes beginning at an end while making sure not to compress the soft end caps leaving a minimum of /4 between each fixture, thus allowing for normal expansion and contraction. Step Six: Make all electrical connections based on the manufacturers recommendations and test lighting. Finish all connections and apply primary power and verify all tubes are lighting. Page 4 of 3

5 Tools Needed and Caution for Installation This product cannot be field cut. Custom lengths are provided by the factory, cutting will Void Warranty. Level Tape Measure Chalk Line Drill / Hammer Drill Do Not Drill through the mounting flange or any part of the fixture for any reason it will Void Warranty Linemen s Plyers Philips /Robertson Head Screw Driver Handle with care, Do Not Force, striking this product will Void Warranty Page 5 of 3

6 Installation and Mounting Hardware Spring Clip Based on the different installation conditions the fastener will be determined and provided by the installer. Stainless SteelClip Aluminum Slide Clip Stainless Steel Snap Clip The stainless steel spring snap clip needs to be installed at each end of each border tube fixture. they should be installed flush to the end of every fixture and be used to secure the fixture. *Once the tubes are in place using your thumb and index finger pinch the stainless snap clip tabs together ensuring that they are tight and secure. In cases where you are mounting the tubes in a vertical position you will need to employ a retainer clip seen below. The Wire Retainer Clip has points that wrap around the end(s) of the tube holding it from sliding up or down. Aluminum S Wire Retainer Clip Will need to center along w See Illustratio Do not out your use pliersslide angle of the see note* 5" max 5" max same across Mandatory: maintain straight plane so can caus The position of the Stainless Steel Snap and Aluminum Slide clips are vital to a successful installation both pressure from a mechanical in th and esthetic view.

Failing to do so can cause the Slide Clips to apply uneven pressure in the mounting flange possibly leading to cracking of the housing and eventual failure of the border tube. The best way to determine where to apply the clips is to use a long level straight edge across the face of the building and mark the points where all Clips will be on the same level plane. Incorrect Note: there may be times where you may have to shim some of the Clips along the way to maintain the same plane. Mandatory: maintain straight plane Correct Note: as little as five degrees off will alter the tube enough to noticeably distort the overall line. Page 7 of 3

12 4 V Power Supply Remote Power Supply Installation with Metal Enclosure Power Supply Enclosure Always drip loop(s) Fill wire nut with silicone before making the connection to protect from water exposure. Also, apply silicone to all exposed wires (i.e., cable jacket opening). When mounting your power supplies behind the wall in a metal box, Electrical Codes require that there be a crush proof pass through - use an approved pass through. If either end of the RGB Border Tube is not connected to anything (i.e, another tube, sub-controller, and/or power supply) then cap each wire individually on that end. Once all connections are complete, position the wires behind the mounting clip out of site and away from the elements. Page of 3
