RGB CONTROL OF ANALOGUE RGB NEON FLEX AND FLEXIBLE STRIPS
WITH SR-1009EAWI CONTROLLERS AND SR-2819T8 REMOTE
CONTROL
THE HIGH QUALITY,COMMERCIAL-GRADE SR-1009EAWI ANALOGUE RGB CONTROLLER AND SR-2819T8 REMOTE CONTROL
OFFER EXTREME FLEXIBILITY IN CONTROLLING A RANGE OF ANALOGUE RGB INSTALLATIONS. THE CONTROLLER SUPPORTS A
MAXIMUM OF 8A PER CHANNEL WITH 4CHANNELS AVAILABLE :RED,GREEN,BLUE AND WHITE (RGBW).
SR-1009EAWI IS AN IP20 CONTROLLER –IF USED OUTDOORS PLEASE ENSURE IT IS ADEQUATELY PROTECTED FROM MOISTURE.
SR-2819T8 IS AN IP20 REMOTE CONTROL AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE IN WET /MOIST CONDITIONS.
CALCULATING THE MAXIMUM LENGTH OF LED NEON FLEX OR FLEXIBLE STRIP PER CONTROLLER
WHEN CALCULATING THE LENGTH OF ANALOGUE RGB NEON FLEX OR FLEXIBLE STRIPS PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:
VOLTAGE DROP
12VAND 24V LED NEON FLEX AND LED FLEXIBLE STRIPS EXPERIENCE A NATURAL VOLTAGE DROP AS THE RUNNING LENGTH
INCREASES. TO ENSURE A CONSISTENT BRIGHTNESS AND CONSISTENT COLOUR ACROSS THE LENGTH YOU MUST NOT EXCEED THE
RECOMMENDED LENGTHS –AS VOLTAGE DROP OCCURS THE LEDS FURTHEST FROM THE POWER SOURCE WILL GRADUALLY BECOME
DIMMER AND THE RGB COLOUR MAY ALSO START TO FLUCTUATE. THIS CAN RUIN AN INSTALLATION.
WITH THE SR-1009EAWI CONTROLLER YOU CAN POWER AND DRIVE YOUR NEON FLEX OR FLEXIBLE STRIPS FROM BOTH ENDS AS
LONG AS THEY ARE BEING POWERED AND CONTROLLED BY ONE CONTROLLER. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DON’T EXCEED :
- 5MOF 12V LED NEON FLEX OR FLEXIBLE STRIPS POWERED FROM ONE END
-10MOF 12V LED NEON FLEX OR FLEXIBLE STRIPS POWERED FROM BOTH ENDS
- 8MOF 24V LED NEON FLEX OR FLEXIBLE STRIPS POWERED FROM ONE END
-16MOF 24V LED NEON FLEX OR FLEXIBLE STRIPS POWERED FROM BOTH ENDS
CURRENT DRAW
EACH CHANNEL OF THE SR-1009EAWI CONTROLLER CAN SUPPORT A MAXIMUM CURRENT DRAW OF 8A. DRAWING MORE THAN
8A PER CHANNEL WILL DAMAGE THE CONTROLLER. ANALOGUE RGB TYPICALLY CONSUMES A MAXIMUM OF 14.4 WATTS PER
METER.
•AT12VTHIS WOULD DRAW 1.2A PER METER = 0.4A PER CHANNEL. THIS MEANS THAT ONE CONTROLLER CANNOT
CONTROL MORE THAN 20MOF ANALOGUE RGB LED NEON FLEX OR FLEXIBLE STRIP. REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTED TO THE CONTROLLER AND THIS POWER SUPPLY NEEDS TO BE ADEQUATELY SIZED TO POWER ALL THE
STRIPS CONNECTED TO THE CONTROLLER.
•AT24VTHIS WOULD DRAW 1.2A PER METER = 0.2A PER CHANNEL. THIS MEANS THAT ONE CONTROLLER CANNOT
CONTROL MORE THAN 40MOF ANALOGUE RGB LED NEON FLEX OR FLEXIBLE STRIP. AGAIN,REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN ONLY
HAVE ONE POWER SUPPLY CONNECTED TO THE CONTROLLER AND THIS POWER SUPPLY NEEDS TO BE ADEQUATELY SIZED TO POWER
ALL THE STRIPS CONNECTED TO THE CONTROLLER.

Power supply
The total power drawn from the SR-1009EAWI controller should not exceed more than 80%of the rated power of the
power supply which is powering the controller. Add up the total meterage of analogue RGB LED neon flex or flexible
strip you want to run off the controller and multiply that number by 14.4. The result should not exceed 80%of the
power supply’s rated power.
The controller itself will draw a marginal amount of current.
Wiring configuration 1
Single length of analogue RGB LED neon flex or flexible strip powered from one end.
Wiring configuration 2
Length of analogue RGB LED neon flex or flexible strip powered from both ends.

Wiring configuration 3
Multiple sections of analogue RGB LED neon flex or flexible strip can be wired in parallel into the controller. Ensure
that you don’t exceed the maximum total length of flexible strip / neon flex for one controller. Ensure that each length
of analogue RGB LED neon flex or flexible strip does not exceed the specification for that model of strip.
Wiring configuration 4
You can control multiple SR-1009EAWI controllers with one remote control. Each SR-2819T8 remote can control up to
8 zones and each zone can control an unlimited number of SR-1009EAWI controllers. When you pair a remote with a
controller, it is the remote which broadcasts the RF signal and its unique code whilst the receivers listen for that
broadcast before pairing.
If you are controlling multiple controllers with one remote, it is recommended that you set one controller as the
master controller and the others as slaves. Set the jumper on the one controller to master by connecting the two pins
with the jumper, and the others to slave by setting the jumper on only one pin or removing the jumper. The master
controller will then orchestrate the slave controllers.
With the power turned off, wire all controllers to your LUMUL LED flexible strips or LUMUL neon flex and turn on the
power.
Using remote SR-2819T8 :
Pair the master controller to zone 1
Pair all slave controllers to zone 2
You can only have one controller set as the master controller but multiple controllers set as slave controllers. This
implies you can only have one master controller paired to zone 1 and multiple slave controllers paired to zone 2.
To control the different controllers in synchronisation, select zones 1 and 2 on the remote. When you manually
change colours and brightness, or use one of the pre-built colour programs, all controllers will be in sync and will
remain in sync as the master controller sends signals to the slave controllers every 15 seconds.

Wiring configuration 5
It is possible to control multiple SR-1009EAWI controllers with one SR-2819T8 remote control without making any
one controller master and the other slaves : whilst not ideal, you can set all the controllers as masters and pair the
remote control with them.

Wiring the SR-1009EAWI controller
1. Using a Philip screwdriver, unscrew the two Philip screws on either end of the controller and remove the two end
casings.
2. Using a small screwdriver, loosen the screws to the RGB and power connectors on the controller.
3. Insert the exposed ends of the red, green, blue and black wires of the analogue RGB LED neon flex or flexible strip
into the connectors as follows:
•Red wire is inserted into the connector marked R
•Green wire into the connector marked G-
•Blue wire into the connector marked B-
•If you are connecting an RGBW LED flexible strip or neon flex, connect the white wire to the connector marked W-
•The common anode wire, usually black, must be inserted into the connector marked V+
4. Ensuring your power supply is disconnected from the mains power, connect the power leads to the connector.
Connect the positive wire to the connector marked V+ and the negative wire to the connector marked V-.
5. Connect the power supply to the mains supply and power it on.
6. If you will be controlling the controller through the smartphone or tablet application, replace the end covers of
the controller, ensuring you move the wires out of the way as needed. Tighten the screws so that the covers hold
the wires firmly in place.
