Solution
Attach AC input and/or check circuit breaker.
Check wire connection(s) at the Tetra Contour LED light engine and power supply
for improper connections or short circuits. Make sure you have positive to positive
and negative to negative wire connections.
Ensure the overall length of Tetra Contour LED light engine does not exceed the
maximum load as detailed in the Tetra Power Supply Installation Instructions.
Reduce the length of supply wire equal to or below the
recommended maximum.
Make sure that all LED light engines have the same Suffix Code (Suffix Code is
located on each packaging label).
Check the wire connections at the Tetra Contour LED light engine for improper
connections. Make sure you have positive to positive and negative to negative wire
connections. Check for improper cutting resolution locations (see Item 21 on Page 2).
Remove LED light engine and properly install.
Inspect and replace light engine if the silicone is damaged.
