LightGraphix reserve the right to change specifications without noticeData sheet issued: 6 October 2021 Data sheet - Page 1 IP Connection Kit Resin Kit for IP68 Rated Connections Key Features IP connections are very important when wiring fittings in wet or damp environments. When fittings are not wired with an IP68 connection, water that pools around exposed cables can corrode wires or be drawn through the cable sheath and into the fitting, which can lead to irreparable damage. The IP connection kit is designed for use in all exterior applications. Up to 10 connections (11 LED fittings) per IP Kit Designed for single colour constant current LED fittings and 24V linear Quick and simple method of creating IP68 connections on site Resin-filled cartridge for easy handling on site Once fully cured it provides a reliable and robust protection Potted connections ready to install within 2 hours (light handling) Minimal size, can fit in cut-outs as small as 26mm in diameter Works with both in series and parallel wiring We would always recommend in exterior applications that connections are done in a dry location if possible. LightGraphix products can be specified with longer leads if needed. Connections should never be made under water. The IP Connection Kit is designed and tested exclusively for use with LightGraphix Products. 1:1 Scale for CAD Download Cut-Out Ø26 /IPKit10 IP68 Resin Kit Cut-Out Ø26 Constant Current (In-series wiring) Up to 10 connections for 11 LED fittings per Resin Kit Up to 4 Linear LED fittings per connection 24V Constant Voltage (Parallel wiring) Please see attached instruction leaflet for more detailed instructions Wiring Installation Dimensions Description Order Code IP68 resin kit for 10 connections /IPKit10 Order Code DRIVER DRIVER

WARNING: DO NOT USE NORMAL LOW VOLTAGE TRANSFORMERS WITH LEDS. All LED fittings are tested before dispatch. It is not necessary to check them on site. Do not power up until fittings are wired correctly. This product should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all current, local legislation. For the UK, the current edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations and European Standard IEC 60364. LightGraphix, 20 Bourne Rd Ind. Park, Crayford, Kent, DA1 4BZIssue: 16 Jul 2014 LightGraphix reserves the right to change specification without notice Ø7mm IPKit10 IP68 Connection Resin Kit for Wet/Exterior Environments Included in this kit: Connect wires to the terminals.* For ‘Constant Current’ fittings, wire in-series. For ‘Constant Voltage’ fittings, wire in parallel. POLARITY IS CRITICAL! When wiring in-series, cut terminal blocks as shown. NOTE: The maximum cable diameter is 7mm. * In-series wiring has been used in this example. Fit the resin cartridge into a standard sealant gun. Unscrew the top retaining collar/ring. Lift the top cap off of the resin tube to expose the 2 part mixture. NOTE: So long as the 2 parts of the resin do not mix within the tube itself, the resin can be resealed and reused at a later date. INSTALLATION Terminal blocks x 30, containers x 10, cable ties x 10, 250ml resin cartridge, resin nozzle & a pair of protective gloves. At this point check the connections made, to ensure that all the fittings are wired correctly. Bunch the cables into an upright position to fit into the container. Keep as small as possible. Use cable tie to bind all the cables together. Position cable tie above the end of the cable sheath as shown. Before attaching the included nozzle, gently extrude some of the mixture until both parts are visible. Wipe clean then attach the nozzle to the cartridge. Make sure that both parts mix equally when exiting the nozzle. NOTE: Once the 2 parts of the resin start to mix within the nozzle, the user will have a maximum of 2 minutes to extrude the mixture out. After 2 minutes the mixture will start to set within the nozzle and will need to be replaced. Times given are base on ambient room temperatures of 20°C to 25°C. Curing times will be longer if the ambient temperature is below 20°C. For example, in cold weather conditions the potted connections will take longer to cure before being ready to install. While in hot weather conditions (above 25°C) the resin mixture will fully cure quicker. When extruding the resin, users must pot the containers quickly as the working life of the resin mixture will be shorter than the stated 1-2 minutes. IPKit10 must be stored between 15°C to 25°C in order for both parts of the mixture to perform correctly and give full IP68 protection. 1 - 2 minutes working time once mixed Place wiring assembly into container, putting it as far down as possible. Do not use excessive force, as this may crack the container. Before any resin extruding can begin, fix containers and wires into position so they can’t fall over. For example, tape both container and wires vertically against a wall. Keep cables and terminal blocks centralised within the container. The container will fit into a cut-out diameter of 26mm. Ø26mm As soon as the resin begins to mix within the nozzle the user must start to fill the containers, the user will have 2 minutes to extrude the mixture. Pot a minimum of 5mm above the end of the cable sheath to ensure IP68 rating. The potted containers will be safe to install after 2hrs, do not exert excessive force on the connection as the resin is not fully cured. The resin will be fully cured within 48hrs. NOTE: Connections must be kept dry until touch dry. Wait 2hrs or until the resin is touch dry before installing** 5mm minimum of resin above the cable sheath Page 1/2

Do not switch on power source prior to making these connections as this will result in the LEDs being overvolted and can lead to LED failure. Do not switch on power until resin has had enough time to cure as stated in the instructions above. Do not pour resin on live connections. Connect pairs of cables (e.g. red + / black -) from LED fittings to specified driver. Multiple fittings of constant current LEDs are wired in series. POLARITY IS CRITICAL! If LEDs don’t work, turn power off immediately, then check polarity. Failure to do so will excessively heat up the LED, causing them to fail. A maximum no. of 10 connections can be achieved with one IP68 connection kit WIRING Page 2/2 + - red black red black red black to next fittingdriver IN-SERIES CONNECTION FOR CONSTANT CURRENT WIRING 10 connections for 11 LED fittings.
