STEP 2 REPLACEMENT OF THE LED PCB AND ASSEMBLY OF YOUR ORPHEK OR LED BAR
1. Clean the surface of the heat sink with 99% isopropyl alcohol or a dedicated thermal paste cleaner or even just with a clean cloth to remove the old thermal/cooling paste. Let it dry completely.
Put a new thin layer of thermal/cooling paste on the LED PCB backside and then place the new LED PCB as shown in pics 14 and 15.
Obs.1: Orphek does not provide thermal/cooling paste, nor thermal/cooling paste cleaners. We suggest you buy a high quality one to preserve and protect Orphek high quality materials and components.
Obs.2: Avoid placing too much thermal/cooling paste to avoid spillage during assembly.
2. Place all aluminum pieces back (one piece for every 3 LEDs) to its original place remembering to place and screw all screws back, then place the LEDs’ lenses back to its original place, one by one as shown on pics. 16 and 17.
3. Before placing the top acrylic: Clean both sides your top acrylic with a wet cloth and then, using another dry cloth make sure to dry the top acrylic completely.
4. Once your top acrylic is dry, place it back on your Orphek OR3 LED Bar as shown on pic 18.
5. Place the aluminum piece of the aluminum lateral cap back to its original place and screw all parts all together until it is well fixed as shown in pics. 19, 20 and 21.
Obs.: don’t put too much pressure, just enough to be well fixed otherwise you can damage the acrylic top.
6. Reconnect the red connector and close the Orphek OR3 LED Bar, making sure you placed back all the wires inside as shown in pics. 22, 23 and 24.
7. Close aluminum lateral caps on both sides by placing them and screwing back all remaining screws as shown on pic.25.
