Installation of Model 203-003 Interior Lighting Kit
Most LITE Series Stanchion models can be illuminated from the interior providing a glowing appearance
for maximum visibility. This is especially effective at night or in low light areas such as parking garages.
The optional Model 203-003 Interior Lighting Kit for the LITE Series Stanchion contains a 19-module
LED string, with each module containing four super bright white LEDs. The string of LEDs is mounted
to the stanchion’s rear mounting plate. All LITE Series Stanchions include the necessary hardware for
attaching the LED string to the mounting plate.
N OTE : The following stanchion colors cannot be lit from the interior because the stanchion body
material is opaque:
234LN-xxx - Night Black (PLEXIGLAS 2025)
234LE-xxx - Earth Brown (PLEXIGLAS 2418)
234LU-xxx - Utility Gray (PLEXIGLAS 3001)
Begin installation of the Model 203-003 Interior Lighting Kit by placing the rear mounting plate on a
horizontal surface. Arrange the string of LEDs, without permanently attaching them, as shown in
Figure 3. Hook the mounting feet on the five mounting studs to insure proper layout and spacing of the
string. Untwist any modules as necessary. Permanently attach the LED modules to the panel as follows:
1. Place the five provided metallic spacer washers (provided with stanchion) on each mounting stud.
Beginning in the bottom left of the rear mounting plate, peel the transfer film off of the first LED
module and locate it using the protruding stud. Refer to Figure 3.
2. Move to the mounting stud on the top left corner and peel the transfer film off of the LED module
closest to it. Locate it using the protruding stud. Repeat this step for the top center, top right, and
bottom right protruding studs. Do not peel the transfer film and attach the LED modules between the
studs.
3. Assemble the 6-32 nuts (provided with stanchion) to the studs with the LED modules on them.
Tighten the nuts snug against the modules. Do not over-tighten the nuts, as this will stress the self-
adhesive tape on the modules.
4. Beginning in the bottom left of the panel, peel the transfer film from the remaining LED modules and
attach them. Align each module with the one below it and maintain consistent spacing between each
module. Repeat this step with all modules, working around the panel in a clockwise direction. If care
is taken, the modules will be consistently spaced when complete.
5. Finally, wire the module string into 12 V dc power. Refer to Figure 3 for the suggested wire layout
and connection points. If a separate 12 V dc power source is used, be sure to attach the white wire to
positive and black to negative.
