5. Intended Use:

The complete RGB LED strip set is made of the RGB LED modules, connection, extension and distribution cables, one control unit with remote control and a 24V switching power supply and can

only be used in this combination. The maximum possible use per set can be learned from the use table. The device is intended for outdoor lighting or decoration. Please mind that the set can be

used only with the LCT translucent concrete tile designated for this purpose. The LED modules have to be installed in the purpose-made recesses on the bottom side of the translucent concrete

tiles, as indicated in the instructions.

It is generally recommended to have the installation and commissioning done by skilled staff. If you are not knowledgeable about such applications, we specifically discourage from carrying out the

installation and commissioning on your own. Modifying or changing the product will impair its safety. Never open the product without authorisation and do not do any repair on your own.

Make sure that no dirt, moisture or small items enter the cable connections before or during installation. Check before commissioning that all connections have been made correctly and orderly

according to the instructions.

Any use other than indicated is not allowed. Changes may lead to damage of this product, which also involves hazards such as short-circuit, fire, electric shock, etc. The operator and not the

manufacturer will be liable for any personal and material damage caused by use not according to the intended purpose. If you are not sure as to the instructions during assembly, laying or

commissioning, it is recommended to have this work done by skilled staff. Please note that operating and/or connection errors are beyond our control. We will accept no liability for damage arising

from such errors. All parts have been checked for completeness and functionality according to our quality guidelines. Please check the devices for obvious damage before installation.

6. Installation:

Turn the bottom side of the LCT LightStone upwards and remove any dirt from the slots if necessary. Insert the LED module fitting the size. (LightStone: 40x40x4.8 cm –A4 module / LightStone:

40x20x4.8 cm –A2 module / LightStone: 20x20x4.8 cm –A1 module) Lay the connection cable of the according LCT LightStone outlet, breaking first the cable outlet opening out. The profiles with

the LED strip can be laid into the according channels by making slight pressure and are resistant enough while laying. Make sure the profiles with the LEDs look downwards when inserting them

into the LCT LightStone. (Fig. 1)

For laying the LCT LightStone as well as the extension and distribution cables please refer to the operating instructions for “LCT LightStone Electrical Installations”.

The 4-pole connecting pin has an inner adjuster fitting into the groove of the 4-pole connecting socket. Make sure that the adjuster and the groove are aligned when plugging in the connectors. For

control purposes, there are arrows printed on the outside of both connecting pieces, which have to point to each other when joining them (Fig. 2). Insert the 4-pole connecting socket completely into

the 4-pole connecting pin. If done properly, the connecting pieces will be joined easily and without physical effort. To secure the connection, take the union nut of the 4-pole connecting socket

towards the external thread of the 4-pole connecting pin and screw the connection together until firmly secured. Screwing can be done by hand without big physical effort. Tighten the screw

connection with care until firmly secured. Do neither apply any force nor use any tools when joining or screwing the connection, as this could damage or destroy the connecting pieces, making the

connection unusable.

Thus you can connect the modules (A1, A2, A4) with the KV5 or KV15 distribution cable and with the connection cable without any effort. The connection cable is connected with the KC1 cable

connection on the end featuring the 4-pole connecting socket. On the other end of the KC1 cable connection are the 4 wires (red, green, blue, black) without cable sheathing (black), which are

provided for connection with the controller.

To connect the cable with the controller, a (Phillips and slotted) screwdriver will be needed. Open the dust cover of the controller on the side marked OUTPUT (R G B V+). Connect the wires of the

KC1 cable connection with the terminal strip according to the following arrangement: R=red / G=green / B=blue / V+=black. Check that the wires are properly connected before closing the dust

cover. The second side of the controller is designed for connecting the power supply. Open the dust cover on the side marked POWER (DC+ DC-) and connect the power supply with the terminal

strip according to the following arrangement: DC+=red / DC-=black. Carefully place the dust cover back in its position and make sure before screwing that the connected wires are not crushed or

damaged.

Latest update 2/2015

Errors or misprints are not binding for LCT GmbH. For any further information please contact: office@lct.co.at www.lct.co.at

Check before connecting the power supply to the grid that all connections have been made correctly and according to the instructions. Also make sure that all necessary devices are connected in

the right sequence and inan orderly manner. Allunused connection plugs have to be tightly screwed with the IP68end caps. Now you canconnect the power supply to the grid. If properly connected,

the modules will light up. All modules will be lighted simultaneously in the same colour and setting. It is not possible to control the modules individually.

8. Operation and Use:

The C15 remote control is already set up to match the provided controller. To activate the C15 remote control, remove the protective flap of the battery from the bottom edge by simply pulling it. The

F30 remote control contains a reloadable battery pack and has to be loaded before the first use. The F30 remote control is not set up to match the provided controller upon delivery, which will need

to be done on site. The remote controls can be set up and one remote control can be used for several controllers when using several sets together (only with identical articles, i.e. C15 or C30

controller, but not mixed).

All devices used enclose separate operating instructions in English. Refer to them for detailed information on the use and functionality of each device.

9. Important Information for Use:

The controller, the power supply and the Wi-Fi module are not waterproof and have a restricted allowable temperature range. To protect these devices from the environment, they should be ideally

installed either indoors or outdoors in an appropriate weatherproof electric cabinet with ventilation slots. The remote control has to be stored in a dry and weatherproof place protected from extreme

temperatures.

The controller and the Wi-Fi module have a reduced reach when used indoors or in closed cabinets. Please be aware of the reduced reach of the remote control upon installation and when choosing

the location of the devices. If the power supplies provided do not feature the red and black colour for the wires, but both wires are black instead, check if one wire has a solid or broken white line. If

this is the case, it shall be used as a positive wire (as if it were red). Please note that the number of connectable modules is limited for each controller (C15 or C30) and the matching power supply

(N15 or N30) needs to be used (cf. use table). When using 30 modules with a C30 controller in the 2x15 modules variant, 2 KC1 cable connections have to be inserted in the terminal strip on the

OUTPUT side of the C30 controller. When using the Wi-Fi module, the freely available 2.4 GHz frequency can cause interference with other devices. Consequential damage caused by wrong power

supply, overvoltage from the grid or external overvoltage, defective power lines, lightning or other grid failure is excluded from the warranty and warranty claims. As an advice, you can check before

or while laying the cable and the LightStone if all cables and modules work by connecting and testing them according to the instructions.

10. Maintenance, Storage and Care:

The C15 remote control contains a standard 3V CR2032 lithium button cell, which can be replaced by the end user. The F30 remote control contains a reloadable battery pack that has tobe reloaded

regularly. All other devices do not require any maintenance or care.

Store the devices and cables only in their original packaging in a dry and cool place (5°C to 20°C, especially the F30 remote control due to the battery pack). The warranty of all devices is cancelled

upon expiry of the warranty period even when stored.

11. Disposal:

Electric and electronic devices under the Austrian “ElektroG“ law feature the label shown left and must not be disposed of as residual waste but can be delivered for free at municipal

collection points, e.g. recycling centres.

As an end consumer, you are required by law (Austrian Battery Regulation) to return used batteries. Batteries containing hazardous substances feature the label shown left. Disposal as

household waste is forbidden. Used batteries can be delivered for free at municipal collection points, e.g. recycling centres or any place selling batteries.

12. Accessories and Spare Parts:

An optional Wi-Fi module (WI+NWI) is available for operating the controller (C30 only). Wi-Fi operation can be done either through a mobile phone or a tablet (Android and iOS). In this case, you

have to install the Wifi-103 APP. The Wi-Fi module can also be set up for the F30 remote control. The Wi-Fi module can be integrated into the home network. The reach will increase accordingly.

All parts are replaceable and available as a spare part. For detailed information, refer to the operating instructions in English attached to the Wi-Fi module.
