READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING SYSTEM.
Before beginning installation, be sure power is turned OFF to light system.
Tresco®FREEDiM Wall Controllers provide color control for RGB lighting or warm/
cool controls for CCT (white color-tunable) lighting onTresco®low voltage LED RGB
and CCT lights. They also control the intensity (dim levels) of the lights.The digital
screen on the FREEDiM Parent Controller displays the current mode and settings.
The wireless Wall Controller must be positioned within 50 ft. (15m) of the Parent
Controller. Note: outside interference may affect the signal between Wall Controller
and Parent Controller or Child Receiver. (see ‘Signal Interference’ on page 2)
The Wall Controller's mounting cradle (see Figure 1) allows installation directly to
drywall or to a standard wall electrical box, giving the appearance of a hardwired
wall switch. Verify power to outlet box is off before installing. (see Figure 2 for
installation options)
The Wall Controller has a magnet to hold it within the mounting cradle or to place
on any magnetic surface (i.e. refrigerator door). To remove Wall Controller from
mounting cradle use the slight indents on the top and bottom edges of Controller.
The mounting cradle has an index tab to orient the Wall Controller in the proper
"up" position. (see Figure 1)
Tresco’s FREEDiM Parent Controllers and Child Receivers can be used with any
Class 2, 12VDC/60W or 24VDC/96W Power Supply. As an option,Tresco®Power
Supplies are available: (see Power Supplies on Figure 3 & 4)
12VDC/60W max. part no.: L-DC-SLELT60-1, and
24VDC/96W max. part no.: L-24DCELT96-1
For more Power Supply options, see Tresco®Specications Catalog.
Installing Parent Controller:
NOTE: All wiring must follow local codes and NEC regulations.
1. Verify power is turned off to light system. Connect Parent Controller input wire
to 12VDC or 24VDC Power Supply output wire (see Figures 3 & 4).
2. If usingTresco Power Supplies, connect Parent Controller input wire to 12VDC
Mounting Block or 24VDC 5-Output Barrel Splice (see Figures 3 & 4).Otherwise
follow installation guide of power supply used.
To use multiple Parent Controllers or Child Receivers on one Power Supply, the
optional 12VDC Mounting Block (P/N: L-TRANS-MNT-BL) can accept 6 Parent
Controllers and/or Child Receivers.The optional 24VDC 5-Output Barrel Splice
(P/N: L-1BRL5-1) can accept 5 Parent Controllers and/or Child Receivers.
Use insulated staples or plastic ties to secure ALL loose cords.
3. With RGB or CCT light(s) connected to a starter cord, plug the starter cord into the
Parent Controller or Child Receiver(s) 4-Position Amp Output Connector.
Child Receivers must be used with Parent Controller.
To connect multiple RGB or CCT light(s) to a single Parent Controller or Child
Receiver use the optional 4-Position 6-Output Adaptor Cord (P/N: L-4P6O-1).
Plug the input wire of the Adaptor Cord to the 4-Position Amp Connector on the
output of the Parent Controller or Child Receiver.Then plug the desired RGB or
CCT light(s) starter cords into any of the 6 outputs of the Adaptor Cord.
The 4-Position 6-Output Adaptor Cord works with 12VDC/5A and 24VDC/4A
systems as well as RGB and ColorTunable White Lights.
4. Check all connections and turn on power to the Power Supply.
5. Check the mode on the Parent Controller and select either RGB or CCT mode
depending on the LED light system installed.
NOTE: See separate instruction sheets for further information onTresco®
low voltage LED RGB and CCT lights, FREEDiM Parent Controllers and Child
Receivers, andTresco®Power Supplies.
See page 2 for further instructions.
Accessories (sold separately): Extension and Link Cords, additional Parent
Controllers, Child Receivers, Wall Controllers, 12V Mounting Blocks, 24V 5-Output
Barrel Splices, 4-Position 6-Output Adaptor Cords.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons:
• Use proper Class 2, Power Supply for the lighting system – e.g.
12VDC Power Supply with 12V Lights; and 24VDC Power Supply with
24V Lights.
• Parent Controller output 12VDC 60W 5A max or 24VDC 96W 4A max
• Use only insulated staples or plastic ties to secure cords.
• Route and secure cords so that they will not be pinched or damaged
when the cabinet is pushed to the wall.
• NOT intended for use in ceilings, softs or walls.
• Use only in dry locations. Not for use where exposed to the weather.
• Do not run line voltage power supply cord through holes in walls,
ceilings, oors or similar permanent structure.
• If required, a licensed electrician should be consulted for wiring
through permanent structures. When mounting and wiring light
system, follow all local electric codes and the National Electrical Code
(NEC).
• Disconnect electrical power before cutting light or modifying system.
Signal Interference:
Outside interference may affect the signal between the Wall Controller
and Parent Controller or Child Receiver.Typical items that might cause
interference include: metal pots and pans, leaded glass, aluminum framed
doors, etc. If experiencing interference, try repositioning the Parent
Controller or Child Receiver in 6” (15cm) increments.This typically allows
the system to function properly.
Programming Instructions:
NOTE: Each Wall Controller will only pair with ONE Parent Controller.
Wall Controllers do not pair with Child Receivers.
1. Remove the Wall Controller from the Mounting Cradle (Figure 1 on page 1).
Remove the clear plastic tab to activate the battery.
2. Press once (do not hold down) the Learning Key (see Figures 3 or 4 on page 1)
on the Parent Controller, then press "On" once on the Wall Controller (see Figure 5).
The Parent Controller connected light should flash on/off, indicating they are paired
up and programmed properly.
3. Repeat Step 2 for any additional Controllers to pair up.
NOTE: Each Wall Controller can control 1 Parent Controller. Each Parent Controller
can be paired with up to 10 different Child Receivers (see Figure #6).
NOTE: When pairing 1 or more child units to a parent with a handheld remote or wall
controller, pair the handheld remote or wall controller to the parent first and then pair the
children to the parent.
Deprogramming:
1. To deprogram, press and hold down the Learning Key on the Parent Controller
until the lights ash.
2. The Parent Controller is now reset and no longer paired to the
Wall Controller.
To Control the Lights:
RGB Wall Controller:
• To turn on and off, press the "On/Off" button once (see Figure 5).
•Press R, Gor Bbuttons once to increase the value of that color.
•Press R, Gor Bbuttons a second time to decrease the value of that color.
• To dim or brighten the lights once the colors are set, hold down the "On/Off"
button. To dim/brighten the lights in the opposite direction, hold down the "On/
Off" button a second time.
The lights dim from 100% down to 5%.
CCT Wall Controller:
• To turn on, press the "On" button once. To turn off, press the "Off" button once
(see Figure 5).
•Press Wto adjust the color temperature of the lights warmer.
•Press Cto adjust the color temperature of the lights cooler.
• To dim the lights, hold down the “Off” button.To brighten the lights hold down
the “On” button.
The lights dim from 100% down to 5%.
NOTE: To check current settings, view the Parent Controller’s digital
screen (see Figure 6).
