2 of 12 pages
Note:
1) Every controller has 8 outputs,every output of the controller can link 1pc tube light.So every controller can
control 8pcs lights at most.
2) The controller can control 2 types of tube lights:1 meter tube light and 2 meter tube light.Please refer to TUBE
LIGHT TYPE SET MODE in OTHER MODE to set the controller to control the 2 different lights.The 1 meter
tube light has 27 pixels,2 meter tube light has 54 pixels.Each pixels occupies 3 channels,so each 1 meter tube light
occupies 81 channels,each 2 meter tube light occupies 162 channels.
3) Every controller can be used as Master controller or Slave controller,it must be set to slave mode when it is used
as slave controller.The tube lights connected to salve controller will act the same as the tube lights connected to
master controller.
2.Operation Of LED digital tube controller system
Connect the LED digital tube to the LED digital tube controller,and then operate the LED digital tube controller to
control the LED digital tube.It has 7 kinds of operation modes,they are as follows:
Manual dimmer color mode,Sound active mode,Auto-run program mode,Static color select mode,Other
