Installation
Solid Apollo’s Onyx 2 Zone Dimmer and Receiver can control up to two single color LED zones independently, for zones running from
12V to 24V DC. After the installation is complete, you can change the brightness on each LED zone independently from 0% to 100%
brightness.
Setting up the dimming system:
Tools Required:
Philips Screwdriver
Flat Head Screwdriver
Wire Stripper
First, the power supply connects to the left side of the receiver (uses 12 - 24V DC). Make sure the power supply is not
plugged in. Take the negative wire, and using the Wire Stripper, strip o approximately 1/4” of cover from the end of the
wire. Twist the exposed metal wire to help make a secure connection.
This section will show you how to complete the wiring for one zone with a single receiver, which will connect the power supply for up to
four LED xtures. Only one LED xture is required per receiver. To wire another zone, repeat the following steps with another receiver.

On the left green wiring slot block for the power supply, use the Philips Screwdriver to rotate the negative wiring screw
counter clockwise to open the wiring slot located below the screw. The screw will not come out.
3
Take the negative wire and insert the exposed metal end into the negative wiring slot located below the screw. Place
the wire inside until the wire stops against the wall inside the negative wiring slot. Take the Philips Screwdriver and
turn the negative wiring screw clockwise until the screw is snug. The negative wire has now been secured to the receiver
and should not come out. If it does come out, repeat from step two, and place the exposed metal wire further into the
negative wiring slot.
4
Repeat steps two through four for the positive wire of the power supply. The positive wire will go into the positive wiring
slot.

On the right side of the receiver, connect the rst LED xture. First, take the negative wire, and repeat steps two through
four above, but connect the wiring in the right side green wiring block using the negative wiring slot. Repeat again for
the positive wire but using the positive wiring slot.

The wiring for the receiver is now complete. Place the white receiver end caps back on the receiver and screw them down
securely using the Philips Screwdriver.

This section will show you how to connect the power source wiring and mounting the Onyx 2 Zone.
Wiring Power and Mounting the Onyx 2 Zone Dimmer
On the back of the rear mounting base are the green wire mounting boxes. The power supply will be connected to the far
left wire mounting blocks. Using a Philips Screwdriver, unscrew the far left wire mounting screw in a counterclockwise
direction. This block is for the Negative (Ground) wire.
Take the negative wire, check the wire coating has been stripped from the wire (see page 2 step 2 if wire requires
stripping), and insert the exposed end below the mounting block screw (labeled GRD). Take the Philips Screwdriver and
re-tighten the screw clockwise until the screw is snug and the wire does not easily pull out.

If you are having problems with the lights responding to the Onyx 2 Zone Dimmer in either zone, rst check that the
dimmer is within range of the receiver (50 feet maximum).
Check that the lights in the zone are on, and the wiring to and from the receiver matches the diagram on page 4. Check
that the wiring to the Onyx 2 Zone matches the wiring diagram on page 5.
If there is power going to the receiver and the lights do not shine when turned o and on, the Onyx 2 Zone could be
dimming the lights in that zone. Press and hold the on button until the lights brighten, then let go of the button when
the lights have reached the desired level of brightness.
You can re-pair the Onyx 2 Zone and the receiver by following these steps:
