• Tenir hors de portée des enfants.
• While the connector is waterproof, ensure the entire lighting system is appropriately sealed if used in damp environnements.

4. Configuration et installation

Follow these steps to properly install the COB LED Strip to Wire Connector:

1. Préparer la bande LED : Ensure the COB LED strip is cut cleanly at the designated cut marks. The copper pads should be exposed and clean.
2. Prepare the Wires: Strip approximately 5-7 mm (0.2-0.28 inches) of insulation from the ends of your 22 AWG wires. Ensure the wire strands are twisted tightly together.
3. Ouvrir le connecteur : Use the provided opener tool or gently pry open the clear latch on the connector.
4. Insert LED Strip: Carefully slide the end of the COB LED strip into the connector, ensuring the copper pads on the strip align with the metal pins inside the connector. Pay close attention to the '+' and '-' polarity markings on both the strip and the connector. The strip should be fully inserted until it meets the internal stop.

5. Close the Strip Side: Once the LED strip is correctly positioned and polarity is confirmed, firmly press down the clear latch on the strip side of the connector until it clicks shut. This secures the strip.
6. Insérer les fils : Insert the prepared wire ends into the wire-side guide slots of the connector. Again, ensure correct '+' and '-' polarity matches the LED strip connection.

7. Close the Wire Side: Press down the clear latch on the wire side of the connector until it clicks, securing the wires.
8. Vérifiez la connexion : Gently tug on the LED strip and wires to ensure they are securely fastened and do not pull out easily. Visually inspect through the clear housing for proper contact.
9. Test: Connect the power supply to the wires and test the LED strip to confirm proper functionality. If the strip does not light up, recheck polarity and connections.

6. Entretien

The Flutesan COB LED Strip to Wire Connectors require minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines:

• Inspection régulière : Periodically check connections for any signs of loosening or damage.
• Nettoyage: If necessary, gently wipe the connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Conditions environnementales : Ensure the connectors are not exposed to extreme temperatures or excessive moisture beyond their intended indoor use, unless additional waterproofing measures are taken for the entire system.

7. Dépannage

If your LED strip is not functioning correctly after installation, consider the following:

• La bande LED ne s'allume pas :
  • Vérifiez la polarité : Ensure the '+' and '-' markings on the LED strip and connector, and the wires, are correctly aligned. Incorrect polarity is a common cause of non-functionality.
  • Connexion sécurisée : Verify that both the LED strip and wires are fully inserted into the connector and the latches are securely closed. Gently tug to confirm.
  • Alimentation: Confirm the power supply is connected, switched on, and providing the correct voltage et quoitage for your LED strip.
  • Damaged Strip/Wire: Inspect the LED strip and wires for any visible damage or breaks.
• Lumière vacillante ou intermittente :
  • Connexion lâche : Re-open and re-secure the connector latches to ensure a firm contact.
  • Calibre du fil: Confirm that the wire used is 22 AWG (1.6 mm / 0.06 inch diameter) as specified. Incorrect wire gauge can lead to poor contact.
  • Problème d'alimentation électrique : Test the power supply to ensure it is stable and not overloaded.
• Difficulty Opening Connector: Use the provided opener tool or a small, flat-head tool to gently pry open the latches. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage.
