Installation Instructions
Single PLP-REM unit
.Connect a 12VAC magnetic transformer to the “12VAC FROM TRANSFORMER”
terminal of the PLP-REM.
Connect the pool lights to the “12VAC TO LAMPS” terminal in the PLP-REM.
. Install the filter (included in box) to the primary circuit (230VAC side)
of the transformer
.The “12VAC TO LAMPS” relay contact has a max rating of 60A. Make sure the
total power load does not exceed this (60A x 12VAC = 720VA)

Multiple PLP-REM installation
For extended installations with many pool lights (hotels, commercial instal-
lations,...), it might be necessary to use multiple PLP-REM’s.
In this case, the remote needs to be paired with all PLP-REM’s, to ensure a
perfect synchronisation of all pool lights.
To do this, simply follow the pairing procedure on page 11, and repeat this
for all PLP-REM’s in the installation.

Operation Modes
The PLP-REM controller has 2 main operation modes:
“ON/OFF control mode” & “PLC control mode”. Each mode has it’s own
functionalities:
1) Only for RGB lamps
2) In ON/OFF control mode, only a few RS-485 commands are available (see p 15)
3) Depending on which control mode is selected, the keypad of the transmitter needs
to be changed

Pairing the handheld remote to the PLP-REM
All handheld transmitters are already paired in the factory and ready to use. In
case a problem arises, the pairing process can be done as below:
Replacing transmitter Keypad
Depending on which control mode is selected, the keypad of the transmitter
needs to be changed:
• Remove the philips head screw and open the transmitter
• Replace the Keypad in the top part of the transmitter housing
• Reassemble in reverse order

1) Press the pairing button on the circuit board, inside the PLP-REM
---> The BLUE LED will start to blink
2) Within 25 seconds, push any button on the handheld transmitter.
---> If the remote is paired correctly, the BLUE LED will flash slowly for 5 times
---> UNPAIRING:

DMX 512 communication
Single PLP-REM unit
1) Make sure DIP switch 1 is switched OFF.
2) Make sure the lights are turned ON with the remote first.
Address dial setup
Setting the DMX address of the PLP-REM:
Select the desired number on the address dial. The chosen number deter-
mines the DMX addresses of the PLP-REM & lamps.
Each lamp uses 3 bytes of DMX data (R-G-B), and all lamps receive the same
DMX data from the PLP-REM.
The DMX start address can be overruled by using the RS-485 command:
“set DMX start address” (see page 15)

Multiple PLP-REM installation
1) Connect the DMX panel to the “DMX IN” port of the first PLP-REM
2) Connect the PLP-REM’s with each other (open loop):
DMX OUT --> DMX IN (polarized terminals + -)
3) Set the DMX address for each PLP-REM via the address dial.
- Option 1:All PLP-REM’s can be set to the same address:
This implies that all lamps will receive the same DMX data,
And will all operate identically
- Option 2:PLP-REM’s can be set to dierent addresses:
Each PLP-REM will have it’s own group of connected lamps
that will operate identically.
However, since each PLP-REM has it’s own unique address,
the dierent lamp groups can be controlled separately

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM SOLUTION
The PLP-REM doesn’t react to
transmitter commands
• Perform a RESET procedure
• Check the battery of the handheld
transmitter (see below)
• The transmitter is not paired-
correctly with the PLP-REM.
Repeat the pairing process
• Reduce the distance between
handheld transmitter and PLP-REM
and/or remove obstacles
• Check the General status light on
the logic board. If it’s red, then
the secondary voltage is too high
(>14VAC) or there is a short circuit
The pool lights don’t work
or don’t change colors
correclty
• Perform a RESET procedure
• Check if all connections are made
according to the electrical scheme.
• Switch the PLP-REM to ON/OFF
mode (DIP switch nr 1) and check if
the lamps work
Transmitter battery
+
-
• Remove the philips head screw and open the transmitter
• Replace the battery, respecting the polarity
Battery type: A23 12V
Check battery status:
Replacing transmitter battery:
Push and release any button on the remote. The green LED should still
light up 0,5 second after you released. If the LED stops faster, then the
battery needs to be replaced

Wiring remark
Third party equipment such as frequency inverters and electric motors can
generate excessive noise on the 230VAC / 400VAC power line.
This noise might be injected into the adjacent 12VAC power line and dis-
turb the power line communication towards the AdagioPro RGB lights.
To prevent this, please take care of the following:
!Keep 230VAC / 400VAC power line cables at least 50cm separated
over their full length from the 12VAC power line towards any RGB
lights
Do not mix 12VAC and 230VAC / 400VAC power line cables into the
same cable trays
