Product Wiring and Installation
Wiring of Receiver
Wiring of Solid Apollo’s 5A Wireless Receiver is easy and straightforward.
The tools required for the installation are Philips head screwdriver, slot head screwdriver and wire strippers.
Unscrew and remove the white plastic endcap to expose the
green wiring terminal blocks.
Step 1:
To add power, strip o about ¼-inch
of the plastic jacket from the ends
of the power supply wires to expose
the metal strands.Twist each wire to
bind the strands together for a better
installation.
Please Note: Make sure that the
power supply is NOT connected to a
power source.
Step 2:
Open the green terminal-block slots located below the
screw, by partially unscrewing the screws on the top.
Step 3:
Securely install the stripped Power
Supply wires into the opened
“INPUT”side of the terminal-block
by tightening back the screw until
the wires are rmly installed. The Red
wire should be connected to the“+”
slot of the“INPUT”and the Black wire
connected to the“-“ slot.
Step 4:
Strip o ¼”of the wires from the LED xture and connect them to
the“SEC”side of the terminals by similarly following Steps 2 and 3.
The positive wire of the xture can be connected to any of the“+”
terminals and the negative wires according to color (Red to Red, Blue
to Blue, and so on).
Lightly pull the wires to test and make sure that they are strongly
connected. Place back the end cap removed in step 1.Wiring is
complete and you can now power up.
Step 5:

Receiver.
1. Preparation for mounting the Magro:
a. Detach the Magro RGBWWireless Controller from the Magnetic
Wallplate and open the battery compartment at the back.
b. Remove the battery and take out the plastic piece under it.
c. Return the battery into its compartment (in the same position
as it was removed) and place the cover.
Please Note: The small blue indicator LED on the top left corner
should blink if any button is pressed.

Operations
• Simple push of Button 1 will turn OFF the LED Fixtures
• Simple push of Button 2 will turn ON the LED Fixtures
• Simple push of Button 3 will cycle/select from static preset
colors.There are 10 preset colors that include (Red, Orange,
Yellow, Green, Blue, Cyan, Pink, and 3Whites). One push of
Button C will show one color (for example Red) and another
push will show the next color (Orange), and so on.
• Push and hold of Button 3 will ne tune colors around the
color wheel.This button lets you ne tune any color between
RGB. A push and hold of the button gradually adds one color
to another. For example, push and hold of Button C on a
displayed Red color will gradually add Green to it with small
increments to create any type of yellow color between Red
and Green. Once the desired color is displayed, release the
button and it will stay. The rst push and hold will ne tune
colors in the forward direction (ex. Red to Green, etc) and a
release and hold of the button again will ne tune backwards
(ex. Green to Red).
• Double Push of Button 3 will turn O RGB channel of RGBW
xtures.
• Push and hold of Button 4 will brighten / Dim the LED
Fixtures.
• Push and hold of Button 5 will turn ON/OFF the White
channel of RGBW xtures.
• Push and hold of Button 5 will brighten/dim the White
channel of RGBW xtures.

Product Troubleshooting
This section will show you how to troubleshoot the Magro RGB-W WirelessWall Controller.
1. Controller not responding when buttons are pressed: Check to see that the small plastic piece under the battery has been removed. See
Preparation for mounting in the Product Wiring & Installation (pg.4) section.
Make sure that the battery is correctly placed in its compartment with the“+”side at the top and the other side at the bottom and touching
the spring at the bottom of compartment.
2. Controller is working but lights not responding: If the blue LED on the Magro blinks in response to buttons being pressed that means the
cotroller is working but if the lights are not responding accordingly then there must be pairing or wiring issues with the receiver. Here are
possible causes:
a. Receiver not powered correctly: Check to see that the wires from the Power Supply are properly wired/connected to the“INPUT”side of
the Terminal Block of the Receiver with red connected to the“+”and black connected to the“–“.
b. LED xture’s cables not connected correctly: Make sure that the RGB(W) LED xture’s wires are correctly connected to the“SEC”
terminal Block block of the Receiver with black (or the voltage wire) connected to any of the“+”terminals and the rest (Red, Blue, Green,
and White wires) connected to the“–“ of their corresponding color terminals.
Note: Ensure that there is strong contact between the wires and terminals.
c. Receiver not paired: Make sure that the controller and Receiver are paired for the system to work. See Pairing the controller… in the
Installation & Pairing of the Magro section (see Pg.4).
d. Receiver not properly paired: First, reset the system by pressing and holding the“Learning Key”button on the Receiver until the lights
ash (takes a few seconds). Then pair again by following the Pairing the controller… instructions in the Installation & Pairing of the Magro
section (see Pg.4).
e. Signal from Magro (controller) not getting to Receiver: Ensure that the Receiver is within 65 feet range from the controller and not
fully enclosed in a metal box. Also, ensure that the batteries are not dead.
f. Magro (controller) and Receiver paired but lights not responding: If the lights ash during the pairing process to indicate successful
pairing but do not respond thereafter, it may be because the lights are dimmed completely.Therefore, press the“Learning Key”on the
Receiver once, and then press and hold the brighteness control button (button 4 or see pg. 5) on the controller until the lights brighten
fully. The lights should work perfectly after that.
