Warning
• Installation must only be performed by a licensed electrician.
• To prevent death, injury or damage to property this product
must be installed in accordance with the National Electric Code
in the USA or Canadian Electrical Code (CSA22.1) in Canada.
• Install according to Kit Model: PL-RT1-001. Go to
PrincipalSloan.com for details.
• This guide covers the kit model PL-RT1-001 and is to only
include the UL recognized LED products and power supplies
found in this manual and UL file E341517.
• WARNING: Risk of fire or electric shock. LED Retrofit Kit
installation requires knowledge of sign electrical systems. If
not qualified, do not attempt installation. Contact a qualified
electrician.
• WARNING: Risk of fire or electric shock. Install this kit only
in host signs that have been identified in the installation
instructions and where the input rating of the retrofit kit
does not exceed the input rating of the sign.
• WARNING: Risk of fire or electric shock. Installation of this
LED retrofit kit may involve drilling or punching of holes into
the structure of the sign. Check for enclosed wiring and
components to avoid damage to wiring and electrical parts.
• Installer should examine all parts that are not intended to
be replaced by the retrofit kit for damage and replace any
damaged parts prior to installation of the retrofit kit.
• Installers should not disconnect existing wires from
lampholder terminals to make new connections at
lampholder terminals. Instead installers should cut existing
lampholder leads away from the lampholder and make
new electrical connections to lampholder lead wires by
employing applicable connectors.
• WARNING: To prevent wiring damage or abrasion, do not
expose wiring to edges of sheet metal or other sharp objects.
• Do not make or alter any open holes in an enclosure of wiring
or electrical components during kit installation.
• Repair and seal any unused openings in the electrical
enclosure. Openings greater than 0.5" (12.7 mm) diameter
require a metal patch secured by screws or rivets and
caulked with non-hardening caulk. Smaller openings may be
sealed with non-hardening caulk.
• WARNING: To avoid potential fire or shock hazard, do not
use this retrofit kit with existing shunted bi-pin lampholders
in the host sign. Note: Shunted lampholders are found only
in fluorescent signs with Instant-Start ballasts. Instant-start
ballasts can be identified by the words "Instant Start" or
"I.S." marked on the ballast. This designation may be in the
form of a statement pertaining to the ballast itself, or may
be combined with the marking for the lamps with which the
ballast is intended to be used, for example F40T12/IS. For
more information, contact the LED retrofit kit manufacturer.
• "This sign has been modified to operate LED lamps. Do
not attempt to install or operate lamps in this sign." shall
be marked on the retrofitted sign where readily visible by
the user during normal maintenance including relamping.
"Lamps in this sign shall be replaced by the original
illumination type such as ‘fluorescent,’ ‘HID,’ etc." This
marking shall be provided on a separate permanent label
that is intended to remain in the applied position for the
lifetime of the sign under conditions of normal use.

Make secondary connections:
Secondary output is 12VDC or 24VDC.
Secondary Class 2 Cables DO NOT require
conduit per NEC 2008 Articles 725.121-
130. Always seal wall penetrations
carefully to prevent water damage.
NOTE: Do not exceed 5A DC load. To minimize light loss it is
recommended to split the load equally in two parallel runs
(2.5A) of LED modules, or wire the secondary input to both
ends of the fully loaded 5A strand of LEDs
Mount power supply: Using a drill and
the #8 Panhead screws, mount the
power supply using the mounting tabs
at the bottom of the supply.
Make primary connection: A licensed
electrician is required in order to bring
conduit to the junction box and make
the primary connection.

Attach power supply to J-box: Attach power supply(s) to
junction box using 0.5" locknut. Multiple power supplies may
be connected and configured to the same junction box.
For wet locations, use a junction box that is UL-rated for wet use.
NOTE: Operating temperature is -22º to 140º F (-30º to 60º C) therefore it is required by UL that the power supplies are spaced at least 2" (51 mm) apart side-to-side, 1"
(25 mm) end to end, and not in secondary enclosure to ensure optimal ventilation to ensure maximum lifetime of the power supply, it is highly recommended that a photo-
cell or timer be used to prevent operation during daylight hours. Do not use more modules than recommended on the product installation guide. Total amperage should
not exceed 5.0 A per power supply

NOTE: Operating temperature is -22º to 158º F (-30º to 70º C) (see de-rating chart at PrincipalSloan.com for higher temperature option), therefore it is recommended
that the power supplies are spaced at least 4" (102 mm) apart side-to-side, 2" (51 mm) end-to-end (some models have been approved for 2" (51 mm) and 1" (25 mm)
end-to-end), and not in secondary enclosure to ensure optimal ventilation (please see table for details). To ensure maximum lifetime of the power supply, it is highly
recommended that a photocell or timer be used to prevent operation during daylight hours. Do not use more modules than recommended on the product installation
guide. Total amperage should not exceed max. output current (full list on next page).

NOTE: Do not insert Stik into existing sockets until ballast has been disconnected from mains and removed.
1: Turn off power from main lines. 2: Cut power and secondary lines to
the existing ballast and remove.
3: Remove old fluorescent lamps from
existing lamp sockets.
4: Insert Stik into lamp socket.
See depth chart to determine LED
direction. Depth Chart can be found at
PrincipalSloan.com
5: Using UL Listed 12-18 gauge hook-up
wire, connect gray wire (+) and white wire
(-) to the 12V power unit using wire nuts.
6: Connect hook-up wire to the
secondary output of the 12VDC power
supply.
Troubleshooting
• Check power to sign.
• Check power connection to the driver.
• Check polarity on the Direct Current side (Red+ / Black -).
• Check wire nut connections to each Stik.
New Construction Mounting Brackets
NOTE: Mounting brackets are available for new construction.
Use as a mounting base on each side of the cabinet.
This instruction sheet is meant to be used in accordance with all NEC and local
electrical codes. This document does not supersede any local, state, or national
regulations. For questions, please contact Principal Sloan at 325.227.4577 or visit

1: Mount base to each side
of the return.
2: Insert Stik onto threaded
base and adjust using wing
nut to desired position and
tighten.
Tighten wing
nut at each
end to adjust
height and
stabilize the
Stik.
LEDs may be pointed
to sign face or return
depending on depth
to face.
