2 Installation
2.1 Precautionary measures
Before the installation of LINEARlight Flex Protect modules
(LF06A-P & LF06P2-P), attention should always be paid to
the following important issues.

ESD IP rating
Be aware that the products can be damaged by electro- The IP rating specifies the degree of protection against
static discharge (ESD). Earthing is a very effective measure the intrusion of solid objects (including body parts such as
to avoid damaging effects due to electrostatic discharge. hands and fingers), dust and water in electrical enclosures.
Therefore, use a personal earthing system (ESD field kit) While the first digit of the IP rating indicates the protection
during mounting to prevent the build-up of static charge. against foreign bodies, the second digit indicates the pro-
tection against water. The following IP ratings apply to
LINEARlight Flex Protect modules (LF06A-P & LF06P2-P):

IP54:
[5] Full protection against contact and protection against
quantities of dust that might interfere with the satisfac-
tory operation or safety of the device
[4] Protection against splashing water from all directions
Cleaning
Depending on the surface, use a multi-purpose cleaner, IP67:
such as isopropyl alcohol, to provide a clean and dry [6] Full protection against contact and penetration of dust
mounting surface, which is free of oils, silicone coatings [7] Protection against ingress of water in case of
and dirt particles. temporary flooding

Cutting
Ensure that the modules are cut properly at an angle of 90°
before attaching the connector!

90°
90°

90° 90°

Mechanical forces
Avoid mechanical forces F on the connector (feeder) and
the LEDs; try to connect the connector as the last step of
the installation. A strain relief is recommended. In addition,
mechanical stress must not be applied to the module itself
(e.g. no twisting or bending in excess of the allowed radius).

2.2 Connection

2.2.1 Basics
Compared to the older version, the LINEARlight Flex
Protect modules (LF06A-P & LF06P2-P) of the second
generation can be operated with two different connector
systems:
— CONNECTsystem IP67 LP (“PROT”)
— SLIMCONNECTsystem Flex IP54 (“SLIM”)
Depending on which system is used in the application, the
modules have to be cut at the appropriate mark.

2.3 Assembly

2.3.1 Assembly with CONNECTsystem IP67 LP

1. Components for assembly:

— LINEARlight POWER Flex Protect module (LF06P2-P)
— Connector (CONNECTsystem LF-2PIN IP67 LP)
— End cap (LF-ENDCAP IP67 LP)

2. Cut at the right mark. For the CONNECTsystem IP67

LP, the marking “PROT” has to remain visible and at the
edge. Remove the red protection tape from the “PROT”
connecting area of the module.
1 2
3. Insert the module completely into the
connector. Observe the correct polarity.

4. Ensure that the module completely covers the

control window.

5. Place the metal part of the connector on a flat surface.

Keep the module fixed on the surface with one hand.
Hold the CONNECTsystem down with two fingers while
pushing the module into the connector with the other
hand. 3 4

6. Gently press both sides down until you feel both sides
close with a click.

7. Take the LF-ENDCAP IP67 LP and fill in the provided

special silicone.

8. Remove the red protection tape from the side of the

end cap. Fully insert the module into the end cap.

9. Connect the module to the power supply. Observe the 5 6

correct polarity (red+/black-). Perform final operating
test.

Note: When connecting two LINEARlight Flex Protect

modules (LF06A-P or LF06P2-P) with the connector
LF-2CONN IP67 LP, ensure that the same polarities are
always properly connected to each other. The connecting
procedure is the same as for the connector LF-2PIN IP67 LP.

2.3.2 Assembly with SLIMCONNECTsystem Flex IP54

1. Components for assembly:

— LINEARlight POWER Flex Protect module (LF06P2-P)
— Connector (SLIMCONNECTsystem LF-2PIN Flex IP SC)
— End cap (LF-ENDCAP IP67 LP)

2. Cut at the right mark. For the SLIMCONNECTsystem

Flex IP54, the marking “SLIM” has to remain visible and
at the edge.

3. Use a box cutter to separate the module. 1 2

4. The module is cut at an angle of 90°. The “SLIM”

connecting area on the left module piece is then used
for the connection of the SLIMCONNECTsystem.

5. The silicone around the PCB has to be removed by

careful cutting. Do not cut into the PCB! Make a slight
cut on the front. Continue to cut on the side. Turn
around the module, remove the foil and make a slight
cut on the back.
3 4
6. Finally, cut the edges of the silicone up to the point of
the previous cutting marks.

Note: The assembly of the SLIMCONNECTsystem Flex

IP54 involves several steps that require cutting. Use a box
cutter and do not cut into the PCB.

7. Remove the silicone around the PCB and the tape from
the pads.

8. Removal completed.

9. At the free pad area, the connector of the

SLIMCONNECTsystem can be used. Make sure that
the pads are not longer than 5 mm – trim if necessary.

10. Slide the PCB gently into the connector. Do not bend 7 8
the PCB.

11. Press down the connector to complete the electrical

connection to the module.

12. Slip the protection over the module and make the IP54
protection complete.

13. Complete connection of the module with the

SLIMCONNECTsystem Flex IP54.

14. Take the LF-ENDCAP IP67 LP and fill in the provided
special silicone.

15. Remove the red protection tape from the side of the
end cap. Fully insert the module into the end cap.

16. Connect the module to the power supply. Observe the

correct polarity (red+/black-). Perform final operating
test.

Note: When connecting two LINEARlight Flex Protect 11 12

modules (LF06A-P or LF06P2-P) with the connector
LF-BOOT Flex IP SC, ensure that the same polarities are
always properly connected to each other. The connecting
procedure is the same as for the connector LF-2PIN
Flex IP SC.

2.4.2 Assembly with SLIM Track System

As an example, the assembly of the SLIM Track System is
shown with the unprotected module LF06S. Follow the
same procedure for the protected modules.

1. Additional components for assembly:

— Mounting brackets (LF-LTS-MB)
— SLIM Track System
(LF-LTS-2100 SLIM Track) and cover
— M3 screws and screwdriver

2. Measure the distance and mark the fixing positions

for the mounting brackets.

3. Fix the mounting brackets at the marked positions 1 2

by means of a screwdriver.

4. Clean the surface of the aluminum track by means

of a multi-purpose cleaner.

5. Use a personal earthing system in order to avoid

damaging effects due to electrostatic discharge.

6. Cut the module to the required length.

7. Connect the module to the LF-2PIN (observe the polari- 3 4

ty) and stick the module into the SLIM Track System.
Do not apply pressure on the LEDs!

8. Take the cover and gently push it down onto the

aluminum track.

9. Click the track with the cover into the mounting

brackets.

10. Perform final operating test.

2.4.3 Covers

LF-LTS-COVER-CLEAR
Clear cover without diffusion.

LF-LTS-COVER-DIFFUSE
In order to obtain homogeneity for the LINEARlight Flex
Protect Advanced and LINEARlight POWER Flex Protect
modules, you have to use the LF-LTS-COVER-DIFFUSE.

LF-LTS-COVER-SHORTPITCH
The cover LF-LTS-COVER-SHORTPITCH is especially
designed for the LINEARlight Flex Shortpitch module
(LF06S). With this cover, a homogeneous light distribution
can only be obtained with the small LED pitch (8.3 mm)
of the LINEARlight Flex Shortpitch module.

The LF-LTS-COVER-SHORTPITCH can, of course, also be

used for other LINEARlight Flex modules. However, with an
LED pitch of over 8.3 mm, the homogeneity will be lost and
the individual light points of the LEDs will be seen. Never-
theless, the cover can be used in applications with indirect
light, e.g. cove lighting.

2.4.4 LF-LTS-MB (mounting bracket)

It is recommended to use a mounting bracket every 0.5–
0.8 m, i.e. for one SLIM Track System with a total length of
2.1 m, four mounting brackets are sufficient.

0.5–0.8 m

Use as a connector
It is also possible to use the LF-LTS-MB as a connector
for two or more SLIM Track Systems.
