5. Installation Instructions
Follow these general steps for installing your LED strip light. Specific installation methods may vary based on your application.
- Preparation: Ensure the installation surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any dust or debris.
- Measure and Cut (Optional): If necessary, measure the desired length. The LED strip can be cut at designated marks (usually indicated by a scissor icon or copper pads) to fit your space. Do not cut elsewhere.
- Power Connection: Connect the LED strip to a compatible 12V DC power supply (not included unless specified). Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative).
- Mounting: The strip typically has an adhesive backing. Peel off the protective layer and firmly press the strip onto the prepared surface. For long-term or uneven surfaces, additional clips or adhesive may be required.
- Testing: Before final placement, connect the power supply and test the strip to ensure it illuminates correctly.
Important: This LED strip is NOT waterproof (IP20 rated). Do not install in areas exposed to moisture or direct water.
6. Operation
To operate your JIATONG LED Strip Light:
- Power On/Off: Once connected to a 12V DC power supply, the strip will illuminate. Use the switch on your power supply or a separate inline switch (if installed) to turn the lights on or off.
- Control Method: The product specifications mention 'App' as a control method. If your setup includes a compatible smart controller (not included with the basic strip), refer to the controller's manual for app-based operation.
7. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will help extend the life of your LED strip:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the strip with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Avoid Moisture: As the strip is not waterproof, ensure it remains dry and away from any liquids.
- Temperature: Operate within the specified working temperature range (-20°C to 50°C) to prevent damage.
- Handling: Avoid excessive bending or twisting of the strip, especially at connection points, to prevent damage to the circuit.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LED strip, consider the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| LED strip does not light up. | No power, incorrect polarity, faulty power supply, or damaged strip. | Check power connection, ensure 12V DC power supply is working, verify polarity (+ to +, - to -), inspect strip for visible damage. |
| Some sections of the strip are not lighting. | Damaged section, poor connection, or cut in the wrong place. | Inspect the non-lighting section for physical damage or loose connections. If cut, ensure it was at a designated cut mark. |
| Lights are dim or flickering. | Insufficient power supply, voltage drop, or loose connection. | Ensure power supply meets the strip's requirements. Check all connections for tightness. |
