Install Guide prior to installing the tape. - Measure and cut the LED tape to the desired length at one of
the marked locations, ensuring that the cut is perpendicular to the
tape. - Clean the surface where the LED tape will be adhered, ensuring
it is dry and free of dust. - Peel the backing off the LED tape and attach it to the surface,
making sure it can connect to the wireless controller. Press and
hold for 10 seconds. - Join additional sections of LED tape if needed. Align
connectors properly to avoid damage.
Wireless Controller Installation:
- Measure and cut the length of cable needed to connect the tapes
in their installed locations. - Insert the end of the LED tape into the connector. Close the
connector using pliers. - Important: Align the edge of the connector
with the printed line on the tape to avoid damage.

LED Tape Installation
1. If installing the LED tape into an aluminum extrusion (optional), follow the mounting instructions on the Extrusion Install Guide prior to installing the tape.
Note: Extrusions (SR1, SR2, SR3, 45S, 45T, RR1) are not suitable for mounting on tubular material when mounted with clips.
Note: When using a 6-pin connector with the SR2 extrusion, slide the connector in from the extrusion end or insert angled from the top and snap in.
2. Measure and cut the LED tape to the desired length at one of the marked locations, ensuring that the cut is perpendicular to the tape.
Correct
Note: If using wire-to-tape connectors, DO NOT cut at the soldered pads. Connectors CANNOT be used at locations with soldered pads.
3. Clean the surface on which the LED tape will be adhered, ensuring that it is dry and free of dust.
4. Peel the backing off the LED tape and attach the LED tape to the surface at a point that allows the LED tape to connect to the wireless controller. Press and hold for 10 seconds.
a. The first section of tape is provided with soldered leads for convenience, but the tape may be started from any section by installing a wire-to-tape connector (see LED Tape Installation step 5).
b. DO NOT twist or repeatedly bend the LED tape as this could cause damage to the connections in the tape itself.
Note: Bend radius may not be tighter than 50 mm.

Power Interface Installation – LU-PH3-B-E
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD. May result in Serious Injury or Death. Disconnect power before servicing or installing the unit.
1. Lift the wiring covers on the power interface to access the mounting tabs and stab-in connectors.
2. Choose a mounting location. Consider the following when choosing a mounting location:
a. For cabinet and surface-mount use only.
b. Install the power interface remotely from the controller and the tape light.
c. It is recommended to mount the driver vertically, with the LED outputs pointing up. For all mounting
methods, the tc calibration point should not
exceed 90 °C.
d. It is normal for this device to feel warm to the touch during normal operation. Consider this when selecting a mounting location.
e. A minimum of 51 mm is required between the power interface and any other equipment or surface.
f. Mount the power interface in a position where it can be easily located and accessed if service or troubleshooting is necessary.
201.6 mm
3. Use the mounting tabs to secure the power interface to the mounting surface with screws.
4. Install the line and LED +/- wires. Refer to Step 6 for instructions on installing the provided strain relief. Note: LU-PH3-B-E does not require an earth termination. 2-core cable is recommended.

Note #830 (P/N 048830) at www.lutron.com for acceptable
lengths and sizes for the wire being installed from the
power interface to the wireless controller.
a. For wireless controllers programmed in separate zones, wiring LED+ and LED- in a homerun configuration (Option 1) will minimize interactions between controllers. Wiring in a T-tap configuration (Option 2) may result in subtle interactions between controllers.
b. If wireless controllers are programmed in a single zone, LED+ and LED- wires can be wired either in a homerun or T-tap configuration (Option 1 or Option 2) without concern of interaction between controllers.

c. Connect the necessary wires to the power interface as shown in the wiring diagram. Power interface stab-in terminals accept 1.5 mm2 to 0.25 mm2 (16 AWG to 24 AWG) wires, with a strip length of 8.5 mm to 9.5 mm. Wireless controller terminals accept 2.5 mm2 to 0.50 mm2 (14 AWG to 22 AWG) wires.
Note: When wiring three controllers to the power interface, the LED+ and LED- wires need to be spliced together with a wire connector and single wire run to the stab-in terminals. LED+ and LEDterminals on the power interface accept only one wire per terminal.
Note: For installations where the total length of all tape used exceeds 5 m, T-tap wiring configurations must use wire at least 1.0 mm2 (18 AWG) in size for the trunk/shared wire. LU-WK1-6W-E may be used for branches, or in a homerun application.

Note: Only one input and one output cable may be connected to the terminal block. Additional wires must be spliced outside of the wireless controller.
4. Install the strain relief and tighten the screws.
Note: The strain relief is reversible. Orientation provides the best strain relief for most wire diameters. For some large wire applications, orientation may be needed.
Note: All outside wire diameters must be between 2.5 mm to 6.4 mm.
Note: When installing the strain relief, the cable sleeve should be positioned under the strain relief and the wires should be positioned such that they are not pulled tight.
