The Mini IP68 Multi-Zone RGBW LED controller and
matching receiver are designed to drive constant voltage LED
products from 6-24VDC. The rgbw-mini-RF is the master
controller with an RF remote. The rgbw-mini-RF-receiver acts
as a slave receiver and can be used to set up wirelessly
synchronized multi-zone systems.

a) The six colored shortcut keys will set the RGB LEDs to red,
green, blue, yellow cyan or magenta.
b) The ‘COLOR+’ and ‘COLOR-’ scroll over all preset static
colors, including the 6 shortcut key colors.
1. Turn On/ Standby
Press the ‘I’ key to turn the unit on press the ‘O’ key to turn it
off. The controller and receiver feature power-on memory
and will return to the previous setting when powered back
on.
2. White Mode
These two keys enable/disable "WHITE ONLY" mode, which
enables only the W channel and "WHITE OFF" mode, which
enables only RGB channels.
3. White Brightness
Adjusts the W channel brightness. Press the right side key to
increase and the left side key to decrease brightness.
4. Static RGB Color Selection
These keys control static RGB LED colors.
5. Color Brightness
Adjusts RGB color brightness. Press the right side key to
increase and the left side key to decrease brightness.
6. RGB Dynamic Modes
These keys control RGB dynamic color-changing modes.
a) Press ‘MODE+’ and ‘MODE-’ key to cycle through preset
dynamic modes.
b) Press ‘SPEED+’ and ‘SPEED-’ to control the speed of the
dynamic mode.
7. Zone Control
The zone control buttons allow the user to select the
specific zone they want to control at any time. Simply press
the corresponding zone button and adjust the desired
settings. The rgbw-mini-RF controller unit is always zone 1
and the rgbw-mini-RF-receiver units can be programmed to
any zone. At power-on, the remote default setting is "All
Zones".
8. Remote Controller Indicator
This blue indicator will blink when the remote is sending a
command. The remote operates using an RF signal, so it does
not need to be aimed at the controller or receivers.
Installation
The rgbw-mini-RF is a master controller that receives signals
from the remote and sends out wireless commands to any
paired rgbw-mini-RF-receiver units. The rgbw-mini-RF-
receiver can only be programmed through the rgbw-mini-RF
controller and must be within the wireless coverage area,
about 15 meters (50 feet) in open space.

9. Power Supply
The rgbw-mini-RF and rgbw-mini-RF-receiver work from
6-24V DC. The red power input cable should be connected
to power supply positive and black to negative. Always
make sure the power supply voltage is the same as the
rated LED voltage.
10. LED Output
The controller and receiver support constant voltage LED
products and control the load using a PWM output. The
black cable connects to LED positive. The red, green, blue
and white cables connect to the respective colored LEDs
11. Status Indicator
The indicator light displays the current status of the unit. It
indicates the following:
Blue: normal operation.
Short single white flash: new command executed.
Long single white flash: the user has cycled through all modes
or colors .
Long single yellow flash: The unit has reached maximum
speed or brightness.
Red flashing: overload protection active.
Yellow flashing: thermal protection active.
Operation
12. Using the Remote
Remove the battery insulation tape from the remote before
using. The RF wireless signal can pass through most non-
metallic barriers, although range may be reduced. Do not
install the controller or receiver inside a closed metal box.
13. Pairing New Remote
The remote and rgbw-mini-RF come already paired. One
rgbw-mini-RF can be paired with 5 remotes. Each remote can
be paired to an unlimited number of rgbw-mini-RF units.
To pair a new remote:
1). Power-off the rgbw-mini-RF for at least 5 seconds.
2). Power-on the rgbw-mini-RF, then press the ‘ON’ and
‘White Bright +’ key simultaneously within 5 seconds. Press
the ‘RED’ key immediately afterward.
The indicator will flash white 3 times to acknowledge the
pairing.
14. Programming Slave Receivers
The rgbw-mini-RF-receiver slave receiver can be programmed
to use zone 1, 2 or 3. Each zone can have an unlimited
number of receivers.
To pair a slave receiver:
1). With the controller powered-on, power-off the rgbw-mini-
RF-receiver for at least 5 seconds.
2). Power-on the rgbw-mini-RF-receiver, then press the ‘ON’
and ‘White Bright +’ key simultaneously within 5 seconds. The
indicator will flash blue.
3). Press the zone key for the desired zone. The indicator will
flash white 3 times to confirm zone assignment.
Advanced Features
15. Waterproofing
When installing at wet environment, the cable
connections must also be waterproofed. Waterproofing
glue and heat-shrink are recommended, but waterproof
connectors may also be used.
Wireless signals are attenuated by water, so wireless
range may be reduced if the receivers are installed
underwater. Be sure to test the wireless range before
permanently installing the receiver in water or very wet
locations.
16. Protection
The rgbw-mini-RF and rgbw-mini-RF-receiver have full
protection circuitry for short circuit, output overload,
reversed power polarity and overheating. The indicator will
flash red for overload or short circuit protection and flash
yellow for thermal protection. The controller will
automatically recover from protection when conditions return
to normal.
