Mount the LED power supply directly to the wall with #8 or #10 pan head screws. The power supply must be mounted in a well-ventilated area that allows for accessibility after installation and must not be adjacent to combustible materials or in an area that exceeds temperatures of 50°C (122°F). Mount the power supply indoors, out of the weather, and do not leave exposed to rain or water. For outdoor or wet locations, the power supply can be enclosed inside a raceway, inside the channel letter itself, in a UL Listed for wet location transformer box or in a NEMA 3R box with ventilation. Some acceptable boxes for power supplies mounted outdoors are Hoffman P/N A12R126, Westrim TC18SO-UL or equivalent. Use of a Class 2 power supply can also be used for outdoor or wet locations.

Connecting the primary after securely mounting the power supply, have the primary connected by a licensed electrician in accordance with local and national codes. For the 40-Watt Remote Power Supply, simply plug the AC power cord into a standard 3 prong grounded outlet.
