Installation Guide
IMPORTANT NOTICE
• This product should be installed according to the instructions in this guide and by a qualied electrical installer.
• All electrical work must be completed in accordance with the latest IET wiring regulations (formally IEE) for the UK or in accordance with all applicable
regulations and laws in the country in which it is being installed. This product falls under a low voltage Class III circuit category.
• Switch OFF power at the mains before installing the LED strip
• Strip must only be installed indoors, in a dry area
• Avoid looking directly at the strip when turned on, for a long period of time
• Observe the operating temperature of the LED strip: -25C to +60C
To avoid any damage to the LED strip or driver;
• Always disconnect or switch o the power supply before cutting or connecting an LED strip. Wait at least one minute before connecting to a recently
powered driver.
• Always handle the LED strip with care.
• Observe the correct polarity for 24V connections (g 1).
• Safely route and secure all wires so they cannot be pinched or damaged

INTRODUCTION
• This installation guide is for exible, IP33 constant voltage self-adhesive LED strips produced by Integral LED.
• Depending on your installation, you can purchase optional or additional accessories such as mounting clips and connectors.
A) CHOOSING A 24V LED DRIVER
• This LED strip operates with a 24V DC constant-voltage power supply known as a driver. Drivers are sold separately and are available in varying wattage
outputs.
• The specication of the driver required will depend on the total power requirement of the connected strip(s). The power output of the driver (wattage
rating) must be at least 20% higher than the total required wattage of the strip(s) being powered.
For example, if you are installing 5 LED strips of 1M each and the power requirement of each 1M strip is 3W/metre – the total power requirement is 15W.
The power rating of the driver should be a least 20% above 15W i.e. A minimum of 18W .
B) PRE-INSTALLATION GUIDE
LED strips make a great addition to any domestic or commercial environment. They can change the mood and look of a space instantly and are very energy
ecient. The possibilities are endless so the requirement for each lighting project will be dierent.
It is worth taking some time to plan your project for the desired eect before removing the backing tape on the LED strip. The specication, length, mounting
position and distance from an object determines the appearance of a lit LED strip. You will also need to consider the placement and concealment, of the 24V
LED driver, control unit and wires, and the power switch to turn the LED strip ON and OFF.
We recommend that you test the strip by temporarily holding the LED strip in place by using a suitable tape, such as masking tape. Safely connect the power
supply - you can then carefully move the strip to try dierent angles and positions to gain the desired illumination eect and position. Check for light spots,
reections and shadows.
Please consider the surface you are applying the LED strip to; the surface should be stable, clean and smooth. On removal of a xed LED strip - damage to
paint, wallpaper or other substrates may occur. Take care in measuring the length required before cutting the strip, take into account the space required for the
connector. You may also consider using a spirit level, plumb line or other guide if required.
In the bag
1 X 5M ±5cm IP33 INTEGRAL LED RGB STRIP on reel pre-tted with an appropriate
connector to connect to a suitable control unit and power supply.
Accessories For IP33

WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT THE LED STRIP DIRECTLY TO A MAINS SUPPLY.
THE LED STRIP MUST ONLY BE CONNECTED TO A SUITABLE 24V LED DRIVER.
C) POWER SUPPLY CONFIGURATIONS AND WIRING
1) POWERING THE STRIP
The LED strip is powered by a suitable 24V LED driver. Ensure the power is OFF and that the correct
polarity is observed when wiring the LED driver. (g 1)
2) VOLTAGE DROP
If the total length of LED strips powered by a single LED driver is too long, you may nd that the LEDs
furthest away from the driver will be unlit or dimmed. To avoid this you will need to use additional
drivers. For instance if you are powering 2 X 5M strips from one driver – you will need to split the run
into separate 5M runs each powered by its own driver.
D) PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLING THE INTEGRAL LED STRIP
1. Please check the bag contents before installation.
2. Do not remove the strip from the packaging until ready for installation.
3. Do NOT touch or press the LEDs or other components during installation (g 4).
4. Do not power the strip before completely releasing it from the reel.
5. Do not twist the LED strip (g 5).
6. Do not install the product in an environment, which exposes it to direct sunlight, rain, water,
moisture or other particles.
7. If the product needs to be cut to length; please measure carefully and cut squarely at the
appropriate cut marks only using a sharp pair of scissors (g 6).
8. To x the LED strip to a smooth surface; the strip is pre-tted with 3M adhesive backing tape.
Ensure that the mounting surface is clean, dry and free from any oils, grease or wax.
9. The Integral LED strip has excellent exibility but requires the bending diameter to be no
smaller than 50 mm (g 7).
10. The strip is pre-tted with V+/R/G/B connection wires at one end. Check the supply voltage
and wire connections to control unit and LED driver before switching the power on.
CAUTION – Twisting, pressing on LEDs, over-bending the strip, cutting at non-cut points,
incorrectly powering the strip or exposing a standard strip (IP33) to water, particles or direct sunlight
will invalidate the warranty (your statutory rights remain unaected).
E) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. To ensure a successful installation - please read the precautions and pre-installation
recommendations above.
2. The mounting surface must be clean, dry and free from dust or grease.
3. Release the LED strip from the package and unreel.
4. Measure and cut the LED strip to the required length (only cut at the cut marks with power
OFF).
5. Remove the 3M self-adhesive backing tape from the strip gradually during installation.
Do not remove it all at once to avoid the strip becoming entangled and sticking to itself (gs
8 and 9).
6. Stick the LED strip to the mounting surface by pressing on the strip in between components
only. Do NOT press on the LEDs or other components on the strip.
7. You can use optional mounting clips (purchased separetely) to secure the strip at intervals
(g 10). The mounting clips are supplied without screws and it is the responsibility of the
installer to select the correct type of screw depending on mounting substrate.
8. Once the strip is axed, it is then ready to be wired. Please see section C1.
F) JOINING TWO STRIPS TOGETHER WITH ADDITIONAL ACCESSORIES
1) Integral LED is keen to make the installation easier and less labour intensive. If you are
joining two IP33 strips together, our press-on connectors should be used which are available
for purchase.

Symptoms Possible Causes Solutions
None of the
LEDs light up
1. No power to the driver. Please check to see if there is power
being delivered to the drivers power
supply via the connection to AC power.
2. The power supply driver
connection is wired incorrectly.
Check the polarity for 24V connections,
positive (+) to positive and negative (–)
to negative. See power supply driver
wiring diagram (Section C1).
3. There is no output voltage from
the power supply driver.
Check the power supply driver; it may
need to be replaced.
4. The strip wires are not connected
properly to the strip or to the
control unit, or the control unit to
the driver.
Check the connectors and polarity.
Make sure strip is cut correctly and
strip terminals are making a connection
within the connector.
5. Overvoltage may have damaged
the LEDs.
The working voltage should be within 5%
of the rated voltage (24V). If overvoltage
has damaged the product then this is not
covered by the warranty.
Some of the
LEDs do
not work
1. LEDs on the strip are powered in
series. If some LEDs in the centre
of the strip do not light and LEDs
towards the end of the strip do light
then the LEDs have failed.
Strip may need to be replaced.
2. If the LEDs in the beginning of
the strip work but none are working
after the rst non-working LED
then there is a connection issue.
This could be caused by a poor
connection or if the connector is
not tted to the strip correctly.
This could also be a result of the
strip being bent more than the
recommended bending diameter.
Please check the strip connection from
the section of the strip that is not lit.
Check soldering connections. Check
connector joins. Strip may need to be
replaced.
The strip when
lit is dim or not
evenly lit
1. The power load (total Wattage of
all strips connected) exceeds the
rated Wattage of the power supply
driver (total output).
The power supply needed will depend on
the total length of strips in use. The power
supply driver will need to have an output
that is at least 20% more than the total
wattage needed to power the strip. See
section A.
2. The length of wire between
the strip and power supply or the
length of the wire in between each
strip is too long.
1. Use shorter strip supply wires.
2. Use thicker supply wires.
3. Make sure that the input voltage of each
LED strip is within 90% of the rated voltage.
3. Too many LED strips are
connected to the power supply
driver.
2. Make sure that the total wattage of
all LED strips is within 80% of the total
output of the power supply driver. If the
total wattage of all strips exceeds the
driver output then please use a higher
wattage driver.
All LEDs are
ashing
intermittently
There is an intermittent connection
at the power supply driver.
Please check driver to AC connection
and driver to control unit and control
unit to strip connection.
Some of
the LEDs
are ashing
intermittently
There is an intermittent connection
at each strip branch connection.
Please check all strip connections and
check connector joins.
LEDs blink once
when power is
switch on
Please check that the driver is
compatible.
This is a 24V constant voltage LED strip.
You will need to power the strip using a
24V constant voltage LED driver.
