6. Installation Instructions

Follow these steps to install the TCP 20714 LED Exit Light Retrofit Kit:

1. Disconnect Power: Before starting, ensure the power supply to the exit sign fixture is completely turned off at the circuit breaker. Verify with a voltage tester if necessary.
2. Access Fixture: Open the exit sign housing to access the existing light bulbs.
3. Remove Old Bulbs: Carefully remove the old incandescent or fluorescent bulbs from their sockets.
4. Select Adapter: Identify the type of socket in your exit sign. Choose the appropriate adapter (candelabra, bayonet, or intermediate) that matches your existing socket. The LED bulb comes with a candelabra base attached. If your fixture requires a bayonet or intermediate base, screw the correct adapter onto the candelabra base of the LED bulb.
5. Install LED Bulb: Screw the LED bulb (with the correct adapter, if needed) into the existing socket. Ensure it is securely seated.
6. Adjust Position: Utilize the patented swivel base to orient the LED bulb for maximum light output and even illumination of the exit sign face.
7. Close Fixture: Carefully close the exit sign housing.
8. Restore Power: Turn the power supply back on at the circuit breaker. The LED exit sign should now illuminate.

7. Operation

Once installed and power is restored, the TCP 20714 LED Exit Light Retrofit Kit operates automatically with your existing exit sign's power supply. The LED bulbs will illuminate when power is supplied to the fixture. No additional user interaction is required for daily operation.

8. Maintenance

The TCP 20714 LED Exit Light Retrofit Kit is designed for minimal maintenance due to its long lifespan and durable LED technology. Regular maintenance typically involves:

• Periodic Cleaning: Occasionally, wipe the exterior of the exit sign and the LED bulbs (when power is off) with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and ensure maximum light output.
• Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect the bulbs and connections for any visible damage or loose components.
• No Bulb Replacement: Due to the 10+ year expected lamp life, routine bulb replacement is not anticipated.

9. Troubleshooting

If your LED exit light is not functioning correctly, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Illumination:
  • Check if the power supply to the exit sign is on at the circuit breaker.
  • Ensure the LED bulb is securely screwed into the socket and the adapter (if used) is properly attached.
  • Verify that the existing fixture's wiring is intact and correctly connected.
• Dim or Flickering Light:
  • Confirm the bulb is fully seated in the socket.
  • Ensure the fixture's voltage matches the product specifications (120V AC).
  • If multiple bulbs are installed, check if only one is affected.
• Physical Damage: If the bulb or adapter appears physically damaged, discontinue use and replace the affected component.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact customer support for further assistance.
