Fluorescent to LED Prior to installation, survey the site for information regarding power and accessibility inside and outside the building. Ensure that the branch circuit supplying the existing transformer or ballast will be within the voltage ratings of the new LED power supply, and have a current rating not exceeding 20A, or that permitted by applicable local, state, or country electrical codes (whichever is less). If removal of the existing lighting equipment (see Step 2) eliminates the disconnect switch, as required by applicable local, state, or country electrical codes; a new disconnect switch must be installed. If required, the disconnect switch shall be installed by qualified personnel, in accordance with applicable local, state, and country electrical codes. Make sure the removal of lighting equipment does not compromise the integrity of the sign body. Fill in all holes with the appropriate amount of rated sealant as needed (excluding weep holes). Lamp Ballast 1. Ensure no power is going to the sign and disconnect the existing power ballast and gain access to lighting fixtures in sign. Remove existing T12 HO fluorescent bulbs 2. 3. Inspect existing sockets and replace as needed. and ballast. 4. Install Principal LED Qwik Stiks into existing T12 sockets. Position stiks so that the LED s are facing the sign faces and continue replacing the T12 lamps. 5. If installing multiple LED drivers, keep them at least 2 apart end to end and 4 apart along the sides. Mount power supplies with screws for to ensure it s secure. Live Black to Black Neutral White to White Red (+) Red (+) Black (-) Black (-) to LEDs Primary AC wire to sign Green to Green Ground 6. Wire AC line to LED driver(s) in accordance with the applicable local, state, and country electrical codes. Connect black to black or brown, white to white or blue, and green to green. 7. On the secondary (12V) side of the power supply, connect the red wires (+) from the Qwik Stiks to the red wire (+) on the power supply using wire connectors and do the same for black wires (-). Do not place more Stiks on a power supply than is recommended by the Stik specifications.
