Ensure that thebranch circuit supplying the existing transformer or ballast will be within the voltage ratings of the new LED power supply, and havea current rating not exceeding 20A, or that permitted by applicable local, state, or country electrical codes (whichever is less).If removal of the existing lighting equipment (see Step 2) eliminates the disconnect switch, as required by applicable local, state, orcountry electrical codes; a new disconnect switch must be installed.If required, the disconnect switch shall be installed by qualified personnel, in accordance with applicable local, state, and countryelectrical codes.Make sure the removal of lighting equipment does not compromise the integrity of the sign body (i.e. water intrusion). Fill in all holes0.5 in. (13 mm) or smaller with the appropriate amount of rated caulk or sealant. For holes greater than 0.5 in.
