INTRODUCTION
The Multi-Zone remote control and receiver combo for RGB strip lights uses the most advanced RF wireless transmission technology.
The system consists of two parts: the handheld remote control and the in-line receiver.
The remote control can be synced with multiple receivers in up to 10 separate zones, and these zones can be controlled either separately or all at
once. Featuring 18 built-in changing modes, the remote control allows you to pause on one color, cycle through a variety of colors, create and
memorize themes, and/or alter the light intensity (brightness).
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
REMOTE CONTROL
Install in accordance with the National Electric Code, and local regulations.
This product should be installed and serviced by a qualified electrician.

INSTALLATION
Always pre-test your LED setup prior to permanent installation. This will ensure all components work correctly. Be sure to check the amperage
rating of the LED strip you’ve purchased so the receiver isn’t overloaded (max 5 amps per channel). Turn off the main AC breaker for the line you’ll
be using before installing your low voltage power supply. If you experience any issues at all with your test set up, please be sure to contact us at
After Sales Support.
Loosen the Power DC+ and DC- screws and insert the red wire from
your low voltage non-dimmable power supply in the DC+ channel and
secure the screw. Then insert the black wire from the power supply in
the DC- channel and secure the screw.
Turn the main breaker for the AC line back on to power your non-dim-
mable power supply.
Look at your LED strip carefully and identify the positive (+), R, G, and B
channels.
Press the Power Button on the receiver, the LED strip will turn on.
Loosen the Output +, B, G, and R screws. Then connect the + wire from
the LED strip to the V+ channel in the receiver and secure the screw. Do
the same to match the rest of the wires to their respective channels.
Press the Power Button on the remote control, the sync status indicator
light and the LED strip will turn on.

REMOTE CONTROL CHARGING
1. To charge the remote control, connect the mini USB cable to the remote and the opposite end of the cable to a regular USB port (computer or
USB charger).
2. The LED indicator on the remote will flash to show that the remote is charging. If the remote is turned off, however, the indicator will not flash.
3. When the battery is fully charged, the LED light will remain static.
4. The rechargeable battery in the remote does not have a "memory" so no special care is needed when charging.
5. When not plugged in with the charge cable, the LED indicator on the remote will flash to show that the battery is low and will need to be
charged soon.
6. Do not allow the battery to become fully discharged. When the remote tells you the battery is low, it is a good idea to charge it.
7. When storing the remote for long periods of time, it's a good idea to leave it fully charged. Be sure to fully charge the battery at least every 3
months to extend its lifespan.

TROUBLESHOOTING
-If your lights are not turning on or ickering:
•Make sure the polarity of the power supply wires match the polarity of the terminals on the Power Input Terminal.
•If the polarity from the power supply matches the Power Input Terminals, check the polarity on the Power Output side. Make sure you have
matched the +, R, G and B markings on the LED strip to the channels on the receiver.
t
•Make sure all the connections (solderless connectors, solder joints, terminal blocks, and spliced wires) are secure and making correct contact.
•Check that you have a compatible power supply, low voltage non-dimmable power supply that is big enough to handle the load of the LED
strips you’re using.
-If you’re missing colors or they don’t match:
•Check the connections on the Power Output (LED side) of the receiver, the black, red, green, and blue wires need to match the letters on each
of the channels +, B, G and R. Make sure the wires are properly stripped and contact in the screw terminals is done on the metal wire and not
on the plastic insulation.
•If you’ve soldered the connections, make sure none of the solder points are touching each other, this will make the the channels that are touch-
ing work simultaneously.
•If you’re using solderless connectors apply pressure on the connector. If the issue is resolved with pressure change that connector, it could be
faulty.
•Make sure you follow the letters on the LED strip throughout your setup when cutting the strip to avoid changing the color from one section
to another.
-If you can’t sync the receiver with the remote:
•Revise the sync instructions above to sync, assign zones and reset the receiver or remote.
