Thank you for purchasing our product. This RGB LED
controller is designed to drive constant voltage LED products
with common anode connection in voltage range of DC5V-24V.
It contains a main control unit and a remote controller. User can
setup dozens of dynamic program and static color via the
remote.
10. Power Supply
The controller unit can work from DC 5V to 24V. The red
power cable should be connected to power positive and black
to negative. Please make sure the power supply voltage is
same as the LED load and the power is capable for the load
wattage.

Introduction
Installing
11. LED Output
The controller unit supports constant voltage driving LED
products with common anode connection. The black cable
on the output side is the common node, it connects to the
power supply positive inside the controller. The green, red
and blue cable runs the driving signal of relevant LED color,
please connect the color cables to the cathode of relevant
color LED loads and the black cable to the common node.
The controller unit has output overload protection
function, please check whether the output is short circuit or
over loaded if the controller stop working.

12. Status Indicator
This is a full color status indicator. It displays all working status
of the controller. It indicates different events as following:
Blue: normal working.
Short single white flash: new command.
Long single white flash: reach mode or color cycle edge.
Long single yellow flash: reach speed or brightness limit.
Blue flash: dynamic mode paused.
Red flash: overload protected.
Yellow flash: overheat protected.
Operation
13. Using Remote
Please pull out the battery insulate tape before using. The RF
wireless remote signal can pass through barrier. For proper
receiving remote signal, please do not install the controller in
closed metal parts.
14. Pairing New Remote
The remote and main unit is 1 to 1 paired as default. Further
more, one main unit can be paired to 3 remote controllers
and every remote can be paired to any main unit.
Please do following steps to pair new remote:
1). Plug off the power of main unit and plug in again after 5
seconds.
2). Press remote ‘MODE-’ and ‘SPEED-’ key together in 5
seconds after main unit power on.
After this operation, the indicator will flash white for 3 times
to display the command is accepted, the main unit now will
recognize the new remote. Only the latest paired 3 remote
controllers can be recognized.
15. Free Remote Pairing Mode
In some specific cases, the controller unit may need to be
controlled with any remote. Please do following steps for this
free remote pairing mode:
1). Plug off the power of main unit and plug in again after 5
seconds.
2). Press ‘ON’ and ‘PAUSE’ key together in 5 seconds after
main unit power on.
After this operation, the indicator will flash yellow for 3

16. Waterproof
There’s waterproof option for this LED controller, please
check with your dealer if your controller is waterproofed. The
waterproofed controller can be used under water within
depth of 30 meters.
Note: The remote receiving sensitivity will decrease when
controller installed under water, please setup the controller
before installing under water.
17. Flicker Free
The standard models work at 1KHz switching frequency which
is already non-flicker at most application. For more strict
requirements, the advanced model works at 8KHz frequency
and is fully flicker free even at fast moving application or slow
motion video. Please check with your dealer if you’re using
the fully flicker free model.
The controller can absorb most unwanted switching
interference, for better performance please avoid to drive
strong inductive effect loads. Especially for fully flicker free
model, please avoid to wire the output in multi turn coil
shape or drive inductive load.
Base on the PWM working mode, This series controllers
switch LED on and off at high speed to achieve displaying
different color and brightness. At some moving application or
video at slow motion, the on-off flicker might be visible.

18. Protection
This controller has full protection function for output short
circuit, overload, and overheat. The indicator will flash red at
overload or short circuit protection and flash yellow at over
heat. The controller will automatically recover from protection
when working status is good.
Please ensure the LED loads are in rated range, not shorted
and the controller unit is in a good heat dissipation
environment to avoid protection.
