4. Setup and Installation

4.1 General Guidelines

  • Ensure the main control unit (C5106) is powered off before connecting extension lights.
  • Plan your desired lighting layout before installation.
  • These lights are designed for permanent outdoor installation on eaves or similar structures.

4.2 Connecting Extension Lights

Connect the extension light string to the main control unit (C5106) or to another extension string. Ensure the connectors are aligned correctly and twist to secure. Crucially, tighten the waterproof caps at all light string connectors to prevent water ingress.

4.3 Cuttable and Extendable Usage

The APPECK extension lights are designed to be cut and extended to fit your specific installation needs. Follow these guidelines:

  • Cutting: Identify the designated cutting points on the light string. Use appropriate tools for a clean cut.
  • Splicing: If splicing wires, ensure correct polarity. Typically, the lettered line connects to red, the blank line to yellow, and the dotted line to blue. Use the provided wire connectors for a secure and waterproof connection.
  • Extending: To extend the length, connect additional extension cords. A signal amplifier may be required for longer runs to maintain signal integrity.
  • Important: Do not add more than 3 extension cords to the same place, and no more than 5 extension cords for a complete set of lights to ensure optimal performance and safety.
