Installation Instructions
Single PLP-REM-300 unit
.Connect a 230VAC power source to the 230VAC terminals of the
PLP-REM-300. Connect the pool lights to the 12VAC connection terminal
block in the PLP-REM-300.
.The PLP-REM-300 has a 300VA transformer built in. The total power load
of pool lights (+ cable losses) may not exceed this.

Multiple PLP-REM-300 installation
For extended installations (total lamp power > 300VA), multiple PLP-REM-
300’s can be linked together. This way, a perfect synchronisation of all pool
lights is still guaranteed.
The PLP-REM-300’s need to communicate with each other, to ensure all
the lamps are in perfect sync.
Connect the PLP-REM-300’s with each other using the CAN bus:
Connect the CAN terminals of the first PLP-REM-300 with the CAN terminal
of the second PLP-REM-300*.
If more than 2 PLP-REM-300’s are necessary, simply daisy chain each CAN
terminal with the one from the next PLP-REM-300 (see below).
Respect the polarity of the terminals! (CAN L & H)
Next, set the DIP switches on the PLP-REM-300’s to the correct MASTER/
SLAVE setting. The first PLP-REM-300 will be the MASTER. All the others will
be SLAVE’s. Refer to page 9 for Master/Slave DIP switch info.
CAN BUS
set as MASTER set as SLAVE set as SLAVE
* We recommend using a shielded twisted pair cable (min. 0,5mm² - up to 200m) to connect
multiple PLP-REM-300’s using the CAN bus.
In a Master/Slave setup, only the PLP-REM-300 that is set as MASTER
will react to transmitter commands. Any additional transmitters will
need to be paired with this MASTER PLP-REM-300

Operation Modes
The PLP-REM-300 controller has 2 main operation modes:
“ON/OFF control mode” & “PLC control mode”. Each mode has it’s own
functionalities:
1) Only for RGB lamps
2) In ON/OFF control mode, only a few RS-485 commands are available (see p 17)
3) Depending on which control mode is selected, the keypad of the transmitter needs
to be changed

Replacing transmitter Keypad
Depending on which control mode is selected, the keypad of the transmitter
needs to be changed:
• Remove the philips head screw and open the transmitter
• Replace the Keypad in the top part of the transmitter housing
• Reassemble in reverse order

• Remove the philips head screw and open the transmitter
• Replace the battery, respecting the polarity
Battery type: A23 12V
Check battery status:
Replacing transmitter battery:
Push and release any button on the remote. The green LED should still light
up 0,5 second after you released. If the LED stops faster, then the battery
needs to be replaced

Pairing the handheld transmitter to the PLP-REM-300
All handheld transmitters are already paired in the factory and ready to use.
In case a problem arises, the pairing process can be done as below:
Pairing Indicator LED
(blue)
Pairing button
1) Press the pairing button on the circuit board, inside the PLP-REM-300
---> The BLUE LED will start to blink
2) Within 25 seconds, push any button on the handheld transmitter.
---> If the remote is paired correctly, the BLUE LED will flash slowly for 5 times
---> UNPAIRING:

LinkTouch ready transmitters: OLD & NEW mode
The “Old” mode is only used when your PLP-REM-300 is not “LinkTouch
ready”
The “New” mode is only used when your PLP-REM-300 is “LinkTouch
ready”
The mode can only be switched on transmitters which have a sticker
“LinkTouch ready” at the backside
Instructions to change the mode
1) Press and hold the “DIM” button
---> the LED turns ON for about 2 seconds
turns OFF for about 4 seconds
starts to BLINK
2) Release the “DIM” button
3) Press “UP” to select the “New” mode or
4) Press “DOWN” to select the “Old” mode
The remote is now set to the selected mode and ready for use

Address dial setup
Setting the DMX address of the PLP-REM-300:
Select the desired number on the address dial. The chosen number deter-
mines the DMX addresses of the PLP-REM-300 & lamps.
Each lamp uses 3 bytes of DMX data (R-G-B), and all lamps receive the same
DMX data from the PLP-REM-300.

1) Connect the DMX panel to the “DMX IN” port of the first PLP-REM-300
2) Connect the PLP-REM-300’s with each other (open loop):
DMX OUT --> DMX IN (polarized terminals + -)
3) Set the DMX address for each PLP-REM-300 via the address dial.
- Option 1:All PLP-REM-300’s can be set to the same address:
This implies that all lamps will receive the same DMX data,
And will all operate identically
- Option 2:PLP-REM-300’s can be set to dierent addresses:
Each PLP-REM-300 will have it’s own group of connected lamps
that will operate identically.
However, since each PLP-REM-300 has it’s own unique address,
the dierent lamp groups can be controlled separately

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM SOLUTION
The PLP-REM doesn’t react to
transmitter commands
• Perform a RESET procedure
• Check the battery of the handheld
transmitter (see p.11)
• The transmitter is not paired-
correctly with the PLP-REM.
Repeat the pairing process
• Reduce the distance between
handheld transmitter and PLP-REM
and/or remove obstacles
• Check the General status light on
the logic board. If it’s red, then
the secondary voltage is too high
(>14VAC) or there is a short circuit
The pool lights don’t work
or don’t change colors
correclty
• Perform a RESET procedure
• Check if all connections are made
according to the electrical scheme.
• Switch the PLP-REM-300 to ON/
OFF mode (DIP switch nr 1) and
check if the lamps work
Handheld transmitter does not
function anymore after firmware
update of the PLP-REM-300 for
LinkTouch compatibility
• Buy a new TX868 transmitter that
has updated firmware
