Prepare the shelves

  1. Lay the shelves shelf-side down on a padded, flat surface.
  2. Set two LED strips beside each shelf. Match long strips to long shelves and short strips to short shelves.
  3. Identify the inside face of the front lip and the top of the angled rear edge. Wipe both mounting surfaces with an alcohol wipe and let them dry completely.
Two close-ups show the front strip against the inside face of the front lip, close to its free edge, and the rear strip on top of the narrow angled flange beside the raised tabs.

Orient the strips

  1. Before peeling the adhesive backing, lay the front strips end to end in shelf order. Arrange them so a pin plug meets a socket wherever two shelves join.
  2. Lay the rear strips in the return direction. At each end of a shelf, check that one lead has a pin plug and the other has a socket.
  3. Check each joint with both arrow marks on the same side and pointing toward each other.
The plug and socket face each other with their molded arrows on the same side.

Attach the front strip

Peel the backing from the front strip. Press the strip onto the inside face of the front lip, as close to the bottom edge of the lip as possible. Press firmly along the full length.

The LED strip sits low on the inside of the shelf’s front lip.

Attach the rear strip

  1. Peel the backing and press the second strip along the top of the angled rear edge. Press firmly along the full length.
  2. At both ends of the shelf, feed the rear strip lead down through the notch under the T-shaped tab.
  3. Repeat on the remaining shelves. Allow about 15 minutes for the adhesive to set before handling the shelves.

Test the strips before mounting

  1. Connect the controller output to the first front strip. Join the front strips in shelf order. On the last shelf, join the front strip to the rear strip.
  2. Connect the rear strips in the opposite direction, working back toward the first shelf. Leave the remaining rear connector on the first shelf free.
  3. Connect the power adapter to the controller and plug it into an outlet. Turn on the LEDs and confirm every strip lights. If needed, follow the instructions under Link the remote.
  4. Unplug the power adapter from the outlet and disconnect the controller and strip connections before mounting the shelves.

Mount the shelves

Install the shelves on their Framework shelf supports in the order used for the test. Keep the LED leads clear as you seat each shelf.

Route and connect the strips

  1. At each joint between shelves, feed the front leads through the small rectangular pass-through at the front of the shelf support. Loop the leads behind the support and join them in the larger opening.
  2. Connect the rear leads between shelves in the larger opening as well. Keep the arrow marks facing each other at every connection.
  3. At the last shelf, route the front lead through the rectangular pass-through and join it to the rear lead from that same shelf. Leave the rear connector at the first shelf free.
The front LED lead bends through the open center of the small rectangular pass-through at the upper right and curves left toward the larger opening.
A joined LED connector sits inside the larger opening of the shelf support.
On the last shelf, the front lead loops through the support and connects to the rear lead inside the larger opening.

Mount the controller and connect power

  1. Secure the LED controller to the Framework near the first front strip using a removable mounting strip or double-sided mounting tape.
  2. Join the first front strip to the controller’s output lead. Align the connector arrows and press the plug and socket together.
  3. Insert the power adapter’s barrel plug into the controller’s INPUT jack. Plug the adapter into an outlet.

Link the remote

Use these steps with the BTF-LIGHTING C02RF controller and the four-zone remote shown. If your remote has a different layout, follow the instructions supplied with it. If the lights already respond to the remote, skip linking.

  1. Disconnect power to the controller, wait 10 seconds, then restore power.
  2. Within 3 seconds of restoring power, briefly press the chosen zone’s ON (I) button three times. Three slow flashes confirm the link.
  3. Use the zone’s ON and OFF buttons to check the lights. Adjust brightness and color temperature on the remote.

Check the lights

  • No strips light. Check the outlet, the barrel plug at the controller’s INPUT jack, and the connection to the first front strip.
  • Some strips stay dark. Unplug the power adapter. Check the connection immediately before the first dark strip. Seat the plug and socket fully with their arrows aligned, then reconnect power and retest.
  • The remote does not respond. Check the batteries and try the linked zone. If the lights did not flash during linking, repeat the power cycle and the button presses.
