I. INTRODUCTION

For the installation of electroluminescent wrapping film, it is necessary to be equipped with the following supplies:

• 1 Full wrap film kit,
• 1 Fuse holder,
• 1 Soldering iron,
• 1 Heat Gun,
• 1 Soft squeegee,
• Wiring,
• Shrinktube and other small electrical supplies.

Historical

With the advanced development of electroluminescent technology in the 2010s, the film wrap has become up to 80% more efficient than the previous generation. This progression was made possible by ambulatory pilot used primarily by Las Vegas than, Virginia and New York. Today, printing is in a phase of obsolescence pushed by counterfeiting and the promise of flexible LED.

Warranty Delivery and installation

Each workshop should be responsible for installing the EL wrap. Warranty is available on the non-installed printing. After installation, professionals with recognized and valid training can apply to the distributor for coverage expansion.

Graphic development

At your disposal on Elisa directory, a list of designer 2D, 3D vector designer specializing in electroluminescent mapping to load the visual capabilities of your project.

Life duration

The application of adhesive films in no way alters the components of the body, moldings or edges of vehicles. In addition, the EL wrap drivers are compatible with all brands of vehicles ( trucks, buses, cars, trailers, aircraft..), but also with several visual communication campaigns. It is therefore possible to reduce your installation and depreciation costs.

The electroluminescent total coating also provides effective protection for paint and varnish bodies.

Legislation

The road legislation differs according to the place of registration of the vehicle. Most countries allow the possession and installation of car wrap on open roads. The majority of it is Iceland, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Japan and Quebec. A minority of countries establish eligibility parameters such as size and display devices.

II. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The kit is composed of a supply pilot, several panel electroluminescent, some printed vinyl films and any masks.

Choose the location of electroluminescent panels

The choice of location for electroluminescent panels should not be done lightly, it should included the following aspects:
A surface without tuberosity: if the level marked to much difference, it is better to shift the electroluminescent panel rather than sticking it. A level difference may cause detachment of the panel and thus a failure from the dynamic display.
The arrival of electric current until the panels must be installed according to local safety standards. Call a professional if you are missing the necessary skills, especially good advice if you want to work on a building.
Orient the output busbar panels for easy filling.
A distance bumpers to limit the wear damage.

Prepare the vehicle body

If your mounting surface is rigid, flat and smooth, you can directly put your wrapping film after cleaning. Otherwise, the installation electroluminescent paint is the best option to ensure the stability and longevity of your signage.
Possibly draw the outlines of the luminous surfaces pool with a whiteboard marker.
Remove the wrists and emblems on the parts covered by the covering.
Pull the battery harness - Power box. Install the inverter control preferences in an accessible place fpr the driver.

Warning: if the electricity is not your field, it is better to hire a professional who will make the connections in the state of the art.

Place panel

Tip: See permanently mounting boards provided by the supervisor and follow them scrupulously.

Remove liner from the 3M adhesive to stick the panel on its bearings to form the basis of your light covering.
Make sure there are no air bubbles between the panel and the support.
Do not use water.
Heat panels if needed to loosen the seal lamination.
Roll out the extra-flat or busbar beam.
Insert it necessary in the interstitial path formed by doors, chests and others. This part of the panel is unlike the rest of the film, foldable in 190 ° without functional impairment.
Join to the conventional electrical wiring on the end of the busbar.
Test the connection by turning on the panel.
Properly seal the solder using thermo jacket and spray insulation.

Install mask Facultatif
Extend the opaque vinyl film or color film additive on the panel to complete the covering visual.
Chock mask the panel. To do this, you should check the installation panel lit in the darkness.
Once perfectly aligned, temporarily tape 50 % of the mask length on 50% by magnets or adhesive.
Remove the liner from the end of the film not attached to the center and cut it.
Install film without water or heat gun chasing any air bubbles.
Do not pierce the eventual air bubbles gaps in order not to alter the tightness of the electroluminescent panel underlying.

Install the vinyl film

Place the printed wrap film. Use the same procedure as for masks.
Thermoforming is possible outside or boundary of the panels to make the finishing and the final appearance are consistent.

III.COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS, ISSUES RAISED BY THE METHOD, SOLUTIONS

 Comparative analysis
The full wrap enables complex animation on a wide diffusion surface. From one pilot, a turnover of recurrent design is possible at a value budget.

Issues raised
The waterproof protective lamination induces a slight thickness visible on plain colors. Busbar beam is made over conventional copper wiring or too thin.

Solutions provided by Elisa
Busbars created with extra-flat copper compounds beam are resistant to bending.
