Features
ICELED UFO employs advanced digital imaging techniques to create stunning ground
lighting effects –with over 2 million different colours available from anywhere
around the LED pixel tubes. This versatility results in the projection of an endless
display of multicoloured patterns with an organic appearance that can be adjusted to
look as subtle or as eye-catching as desired.
UFO Patterns can be made to react to music via a built-in microphone or line-level
input or can be left to run without any audio input at all. The colours used in each
pattern can be restricted to those held in user-defined palettes to create specific
colour-coordinated displays or may be chosen from other ranges –including an
Audio Frequency Spectrum Analyser that provides colours reflecting the frequency
content of any audio source.
All interaction with the electronic control unit (ECU) takes place by infrared remote
control so the ECU and wiring can be fully hidden away. This also allows all the
patterns to be controlled and enjoyed from outside the vehicle –if the remote
display is located at or near to window level. The discrete remote display shows the
status of the ECU at all times and conveniently doubles as the infrared receiver.
Using the ICELED standard 3-wire interconnection system UFO has been designed to
complement and integrate with other devices in the ICELED range of digitally-
networked lighting products. As well as controlling four or more external LED pixel
tubes, the ECU can easily be linked to interior ICELED so that colours may be
synchronised inside and out. A connection is also provided so that the ground light
automatically switches on whenever a door is opened.
Tough polycarbonate tubes provide complete protection for the outboard electronics
and are fully sealed against water penetration. The use of solid-state LED light
sources results in highly reliable and energy-efficient operation that has already
proved to be capable of withstanding more than a decade of rough use. Among
numerous other electronic protection systems the ECU monitors battery voltage and
automatically interrupts the supply to the tubes under fault conditions.

Basic operation
A small glowing dot in the corner of the remote display indicates that the UFO
controller is powered-on but waiting in Standby mode, ready to be switched-on fully
by the remote control.
 In standby mode power is removed from all ICELED tubes so that
current consumption is reduced to the absolute minimum.
A single press of the POWER button takes UFO in and out
of Standby mode. Switching-on with the POWER button
causes the default UFO (Streetwise) display to be
activated which shows on the remote display as   U
 Unlike all other patterns this default display of white/amber/red is
designed to be minimally distracting and cannot be adjusted in any
way.
Pattern activation
As an alternative to using the POWER button, pressing any
numbered button switches UFO into Pattern Play mode
activating one of the 10 corresponding patterns directly.
The Lightning Strobe pattern also has a dedicated button which should be used with
extra caution due to its potential for affecting people with photosensitive conditions.
Remote display information
The remote display normally shows the current pattern number –prefixed by the
letter Pe.g.  whenever a new pattern is selected.
Pattern Summary
Pattern Variations
The SELECT buttons recall ten Variations of each pattern multiplying the
number of different patterns available from 11 to 110 (including the Strobe).
The pattern prefix changes to a lower-case letter in the range ato je.g.   when
selecting different variations of a pattern.

Demonstration feature
UFO can be set to make a continuous sequence of random pattern selections on its
own. Pressing the DEMO button initiates the sequence which continues until
cancelled. If an audio trigger is present each new random Pattern will be selected in
time with the music.
Press DEMO again to include random pattern variations in the demonstration.
Press any Pattern button soon after pressing DEMO to restrict the demonstration to
variations on that particular Pattern.
After a short delay, any other button-press immediately cancels Demonstration mode and
restores manual Pattern selection.
Sound activation
Pattern dynamics can also be influenced by an audio input. Sound activation is
toggled on and off with each alternate press of the loudspeaker button. The small
dot on the remote display lights brightly when sound activation is enabled and blinks
out in time with each beat detected.
Sound activation is combined with the pattern speed setting to create dynamic effects.
In addition to the audio beat detector, an Audio Frequency Spectrum Analyser
constantly monitors the audio input and assigns different colours to different audio
frequencies for use in particular colour selection ranges.
Pattern 0 visualises the Audio-Frequency Spectrum directly on the UFO tubes while other
patterns may incorporate frequency-dependent colours within the pattern.
Automatic ‘Door open’ operation
If the UFO controller has a connection to an interior light activated by a door-switch
then the tubes can be made to switch-on and off when the doors are opened and
closed - transforming the UFO kit into a useful puddle-light. Alternatively this circuit
can be used to trigger UFO manually using a simple switch.
‘Door open’ Pattern
The default is for the Streetwise Pattern to be selected when the Door-switch circuit
is activated but it is also possible to nominate any other pattern for this role by
selecting a different Pattern/Variation when a door is open. The same selection is
recalled whenever the door is subsequently reopened.
When the door circuit is deactivated by closing the door, UFO slowly fades out the
pattern. During this eight-second period, the pattern number blinks on the remote display
to indicate that UFO is about to turn off automatically.
The polarity of the switch can be altered from ‘active low’ to ‘active high’ using the
Custom Installation menu described on page 9.
To temporarily disable the ‘Door Open’ feature: Switch-off using the power-button on
the remote-control handset when a door is open. To re-enable the feature: Switch-
on when a door is open.

Customising the Patterns
The appearance of each generic Pattern may be varied
extensively by choosing different settings for four key
properties of each Pattern Variation:
Speed, Colours, Random and Accent
The effects of using the four pairs of up/down arrow
buttons to change these settings are instantly
applied and recalled whenever the same Pattern
Variation is selected in the future –even after Power has
been removed from the UFO controller.
In all cases the remote display and LED tubes will flash
rapidly to warn whenever high or low adjustment limits
have been reached.
Settings may be returned to their factory defaults at any
time using procedures detailed in later sections.
Adjusting Pattern Speed
Pattern speed can be adjusted over a wide range. While the buttons are held down
the remote display blinks  to confirm that speed is changing.
Selecting a Colour range
The UFO pattern generator picks its main pattern colours from one of seven possible
ranges that include:
2, 3, 4 or 6 different user-defined colours from a palette belonging to each pattern.
Unlimited range of pure hues sequenced from the colour spectrum (rainbow hues).
Randomly sequenced Colours.
Colours representing the Audio Frequency Spectrum of any audio signal present.
The buttons labelled

Adjusting the Random range
The UFO Pattern Generator randomizes the colours it uses in different ways
depending on which Colour range is selected:
For the random Colour range   the RANDOM setting determines the rate at which
new colours appear in the pattern. The effects can be seen clearly in the Colour preview
(i.e. after selecting the random Colour range with the adjacent button pair and before
the preview times-out).
For the unlimited Colour range   the RANDOM setting determines the spacing
between successive colours picked from the spectrum. Lower Random settings result in
more evenly spaced colours being picked in turn from the rainbow, while higher settings
create less predictable steps.
For the user-defined palette Colour ranges   to   the Random setting only
applies to the order in which the palette entries are picked by the pattern generator and
is not demonstrated in the colour range preview.
Selecting an Accent colour
The pattern generator also makes use of an
Accent Colour – for example the colour of the
scanning ‘dot’ that appears in pattern three.
Setting the accent to the Inverse of the main
colour range   guarantees that the Accent
will stand out regardless of the latest colours
picked by the pattern generator.
Conversely, setting the Accent to the Latest
main colour   prevents the Accent from
being seen altogether.
Editing the palette colours
Every pattern (including the Lightning Strobe) has its own private palette of six user-
defined colours stored in RGB format. To change the palette colours for a particular
pattern , press and hold down the corresponding pattern button until   appears
on the remote display. This signals the fact that the UFO controller has switched into
Palette Edit mode
Throughout the editing process, all four ICELED the tubes show one palette entry at a
time to provide instant feedback on the colour as it is adjusted.
Step though each palette entry to be edited in turn using the SELECT buttons.
The remote display briefly flashes followed by a number from 1 to 6 indicating
which palette entry has been selected for editing.

Palette Colour editing
Each palette entry can be edited to produce a new colour either by setting a pure
Hue or by adjusting individual RGB components to create a wider range of shades.
During editing the remote display confirms which colour component is being adjusted
by flashing for Hue or for red, green and blue respectively while
the values are changing.
Values entered in 10% steps with the numeric keypad affect the most recent component
edited by the RGB button group.
Obtaining a wider range of Colour shades
Unsaturated colours (e.g. pinks) are obtained by having non-zero intensities for all
three RGB components. In the extreme case, by raising all three RGB components
to their maximum intensities, white light will be produced. Conversely, darker shades
(including total blackout) may be created by reducing all three intensity levels to a
lesser or greater degree.
in order to maintain maximum brightness at least one primary RGB component must be
set to its maximum level. This is automatically taken care of when adjusting Hue by
shifting through the colour spectrum with the SET buttons.
Exiting from Palette Edit mode
To return to Pattern Play mode press the Exit button. The current pattern will be
resumed and make immediate use of its new palette colours (if the Colour Range is
set to two or more user-defined colours).
In common with all other UFO settings, all palettes are stored in non-volatile memory so
retain their colour programming even when power is removed from the UFO controller.
‘Factory reset’ Pattern
The original Factory settings for the six palette colours and the ten variations of each
individual pattern can be restored by exiting from Palette Edit mode using a long
press of the Lightning strike button. Press the button and hold it down until the
pattern number reappears.
All patterns can be restored to their Factory settings in a single operation detailed in the

Custom Installation Functions
As supplied, the Factory Default settings are suited to the standard UFO kit and may
require no further adjustments, in which case the Custom sections of this guide may
be skipped entirely. However, as UFO may be used in a wide variety of applications,
a menu of options can be accessed to allow the controller to be customised for
different types of installation. A sub-menu of ICELED tube layout options is also
provided for non-standard tube lengths.
In order to select one or more of the required functions listed in the table below, the
controller must first be switched-on with a four-second long press of the power
button on the remote control handset.
After the initial unit switch-on, the power button must be kept pressed until the
remote display flashes   indicating that the controller is ready for a function
number to be entered on the numeric keypad. Once ><is flashing on the display,
the power button can be released and the controller waits for any of the following

†Power-up refers to the connection of a nominal 12V supply to the controller. In a domestic
installation, where the controller is powered from a 12VDC transformer, switched by a lighting circuit, it
may be desirable to have the controller automatically resume the last Pattern selected rather than wait
for remote control.
On pressing any of the numbered function buttons listed in the table above, the
controller briefly displays the number entered e.g.   before returning to the
flashing> < symbol in readiness for any further Functions to be entered.
The button switches to the Layout sub-menu described in the next section.
To finally execute and store any selection made from the option menu(s),
the power key must be pressed to confirm the operation. The controller will then
reset and return to standby mode.
To abandon the selection without making any changes at all, press the EXIT
button. In this case the controller ignores the selection and restarts in exactly the
same state as it was before.
(!) Restoring the Factory Defaults overwrites all Pattern colours and settings with
the factory defaults shipped with the controller - so please use with extreme caution.

Custom Lighting Layouts
The standard UFO kit is configured to drive four ICELED tubes arranged in a
rectangle with the pattern mirrored about the centre of the two shorter tubes. This
suits ground-lighting applications for all types of vehicle. Longer or shorter tubes may
also be added to change the pattern length for different kinds of vehicles or to suit
entirely different applications –for example where long, continuous patterns are
required for interior or for Architectural lighting.
The Layout menu is accessed from the Function menu (with the flashing > <
symbol described above) by pressing the button marked with a Lightning strike. The
display then changes to a flashing > < symbol and the tubes are lit with a special
identification pattern to assist with selecting the correct layout.

Installation
The complete UFO kit consists of:
2 x Long tubes
2 x Short tubes
1 x ECU
1 x Remote display
1 x Remote control handset
1 x Fused supply wire
1 x Chassis return wire
The following instructions assume that
UFO is being installed as a ground-lighting
kit beneath a vehicle. The instructions are
equally valid for other types of installation
if vehicle specific terms are simply ignored.
Step 1: Install the ECU
The ECU must not be exposed to moisture or excessive heat so should therefore be
located inside the car or luggage bay –not outside or within the engine bay. The
ideal location may be somewhere under the dashboard, with a short route to the car
battery. The box should be secured to a flat surface using the three short self-
tapping screws provided. Ensure that the drilling of these holes does not damage
wiring or other equipment on the other side. Care should also be taken not to over-
tighten these fixings.
A fourth hole will be required nearby to attach the chassis return wire. It is not
sufficient to use any of the case screws for this connection, as it needs to be fully
tightened in order to make a good connection to the metalwork. Do not connect
either of the power wires yet.
Step 2: Locate the remote display
The remote-display unit plugs into a socket on the rear of the ECU.
The remote-display should be located where it can be seen from the driver’s seat.
Also, because it receives infrared commands from the remote-control handset, it is a
good idea to locate it at window level to allow the controller to be operated from
outside the vehicle. An ideal place for the remote display might therefore be in the
corner of the dashboard where it meets the windscreen.

Note –Installation should be carried out in
the sequence that follows after first reading
through every step (this will assist in locating
everything in the optimum position).

UFO GUIDE v8

Step 3: Fit the tubes
The four tubes should be mounted in unexposed positions to prevent damage from
contact with any objects on the road. They should be no lower than the lowest
part of any other bodywork or suspension component.
IMPORTANT:
It is absolutely crucial that all side tubes are mounted with their cables
exiting towards the rear of the vehicle. This is so that effects can run around in
a continuous fashion from end to end.
The shorter front and rear tubes can be mounted with their cables exiting at either
end as patterns are mirrored about the tube centres. For non-standard layouts the
correct tube orientation should be determined before mounting the tubes. Tubes of
the same length are functionally identical so may be used at either side or either end
of the vehicle.
For the best effect, while finding suitable locations for the tubes, bear in mind that
once fitted none of the LED’s should be directly visible. Once suitable locations
have been identified for each tube, the tie-wrap bases should be attached to coincide
with the middle of the rubber end-caps for maximum grip as shown below, on the
left.
The longer side tubes may require one additional fixing in the middle to prevent
excessive flexing. Once again, be careful to position this fixing so as not to cover any
of the LED’s when the tie-wrap is attached.
Once the tie-wrap bases are in place, the tubes should be loosely attached using the
tie-wraps provided, but not pulled tight yet. This will allow the optimum angle for
the tubes to be obtained by rotating them once they are wired to the UFO controller
and switched-on.
LED positions
Front
Rear
Note –Great care must be taken to observe the points emphasised in the following
instructions to ensure a successful installation. Unlike most other types of lighting, UFO
produces spatial effects that require the correct orientation of the ICELED tubes.
If the tie-wraps have to be
used in the area occupied
by the LED’s care must be
taken not to obscure any
of the LED’s.

www.ICELED.co.uk
UFO GUIDE v8
13
Note –In the unlikely event of a tube cable being too short to reach the ECU, it may be
extended with a similar, stranded, three-core cable. Most common three-way electrical terminal
blocks will be adequate for joining the wires.
All cabling must be secured with the smaller tie-wraps supplied to prevent snagging
with any objects on the ground. For this reason, it is particularly important that no
cable loops should hang down.
Cables should enter the passenger compartment through holes drilled large enough
to accept the grommets supplied. Ensure that the drilling of these holes will not
inflict damage to wiring or other equipment. The green connector blocks can be
removed from the cables to assist with threading the wiring towards the ECU.
Step 4: Connect ICELED tubes and power to the ECU
The 3-way connectors terminating the red green and blue wires from each of the
four tubes can be reassembled and plugged in at this stage. If they are inserted in
the wrong positions they can easily be swapped around later on.
For safety, connections to the 12V supply should be made with the fuse
temporarily removed from its holder in the red lead.
The red + wire from the fuse should be run directly to the vehicle battery if possible
in order to maintain a permanent supply for standby mode. Other power ‘pick-up’
points may be suitable so long as they provide an uninterrupted supply. In either
case the fuse holder must be located nearest to the supply end so that the fuse can
be effective in protecting the wire all the way back to the ECU. To maintain
protection, if this wire is to be shortened at all, it must be cut off at the end furthest
from the fuse.
The ring terminal on the end of the short black wire needs to be firmly attached to
the vehicles metalwork using the self-tapping screw and serrated washer supplied. A
good contact is essential here.
If door switch activation is to be used a suitable connection must be made to the
Aux. terminal labelled D. A switch connecting this circuit either to chassis or supply
when the door is open is the only requirement. Any small-gauge wire will be
adequate for this connection as virtually no current flows into this high-impedance
sense input.
Step 5: Power-up and initial test
Once the fuse and 12V plug are inserted the remote display will briefly show the UFO
firmware version  before entering remote-control Standby.

At this point the Standby dot should be lit on the remote display showing that the
controller is ready for remote control operation. Press the power button on the
remote handset to switch on the tubes.
Pattern U should now show. This will be useful for checking that the four tubes are
connected to the correct outputs. The rear tube should light red, the front white and
the two sides amber. The four plugs may now be swapped around to correct any
mistakes. It is important to perform this check and correct any errors now - as the
generated patterns rely on the correct assignment of each tube.
A further check should be performed to ensure that the side tubes have been
correctly oriented front-to-back. To do this, select pattern 1. The front and rear
tubes should now light in the same colours as the adjacent ends of the side tubes.
Step 6: Final adjustments
Once all tubes are lit they can be rotated on their mounting points to spread the light
as near or far as is required. Once the optimum position is found, the tie-wraps
should be pulled tight and the excess cut off.
When adjusting the tubes it should be remembered that the best effect will always
be achieved when the source of the light is well hidden. Stand at a distance from the
vehicle and check to see if the LED’s can be seen directly. If so, try rotating the
tubes to a position where they can’t be seen. It may be better on some vehicles to
rotate the tubes so they face towards the opposite side if they are impossible to
hide. This method might also be used to produce more complete illumination of the
ground in some installations.
Adjusting the audio level
The ECU will automatically adapt to different sound levels over a wide range so no
adjustment should be necessary. However a variable Attenuator is provided at the
rear of the unit if the sound levels are unusually high. This might require adjustment
if the patterns do not respond well to the music.

A direct line-level connection can be made to In Car Entertainment systems using a
standard 3.5mm Stereo jack audio lead. This automatically disables the internal
microphone so ensuring that music alone activates the light. The attenuator is still
effective when a direct connection is used.
