PROGRAMING CHANNELS
All floor panels originally come from the factory unprogrammed to any one of the four channels and the
panels will not respond to the handheld remote. To make the floor panel respond to the handheld
remote control, make the following steps.
Install two fresh AAA batteries into the handheld Remote Control. While using the remote during
assembly, you will have an opportunity to assign channels as each Floor Panel is connected to power.
As the floor system is assembled, the Power Supply must be plugged into power, powered on and
connected to the floor trim. The moment you connect a Floor Panel to power you will have 3 seconds to
press one of the four channels’ “ON” buttons of the handheld Remote Control. The four buttons are
pointed out below.
Channel 1
Channel 2
Channel 3
Channel 4
NOTE: If the floor panel is new, or does not respond to the remote control, skip steps 1 thru 3.
STEP 1:
Changing or reprograming to a new channel will always require that the Floor Panel is first
unprogrammed from the channel it is currently assigned. To establish what channel the panel is
currently assigned, simply press the on and off button of each channel until the panel responds.
STEP 2:
Disconnect the Floor Panel from power and then reconnect. Within 3 seconds press and hold the “ON”
button of the currently assigned channel.
STEP 3:
If successful, ILLUMA SQUARE will flash white 9 times quickly. If not, repeat steps 1 and 2.
STEP 4:
Disconnect the panel from power.
STEP 5:
Reconnect to power and within 3 seconds, press once (do not hold) the “ON” button of the channel you
want the panel to be assigned to.
STEP 6:
If successful, ILLUMA SQUARE will flash white slowly 2 times. If not, repeat steps 4 and 5.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
All parts are secured together by one-inch, #2 Standard Phillips Head stainless-steel screws. All screws
should only be “started” and kept loose during assembly as shown in Figure A. Keeping the screws loose
will keep the Floor Panels free to move during assembly.
Only after all the screws have been started the screws may be Secured.
Securing a screw does not mean tighten it. Securing a screw means that the top of the
screw’s head is level with or below the floor surface as shown in Figure B.
Figure A

The cutaway drawing on the right shows
the screw in the “started” position.
Figure B
This drawing shows the screw in the
“secured” position. Notice there is room
to allow for flexing and movement.
Figure C
This drawing shows the screw too tight.
This will void any warranty.
NOTE: A power drill may be used to secure screws only if it has a ratchet drive set at low torque.

FINAL STEP & NOTES
ARRAIGNMENTS:
Remember you can arrange your floor to form a square, rectangle, or runway. Pictured below are only a
few ideas.
FINISHING STEP:
Once all the Floor Panels are connected and the screws have been “Started”, it is time to secure all of
the screws and attach the optional aluminum beveled edging. Remember; securing a screw means that
the top of the screw’s head is level with or below the floor surface. Do not tighten screws as explained
under, “ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS” on page 10 of this manual.
NOTE: A power drill may be used to secure screws only if it has a ratchet drive set at low torque
You should be ready to go. Have fun!
NOTE: If you have the optional Beveled Edging and you are arranging a floor with inside corners, such as
an “L” or “T” shape, beveled inside corner sets are available at www.illumasquare.com
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE:
ILLUMA SQUARE is recommended for inside use only. You may setup ILLUMA SQUARE on any flat hard
surface.
Floor panels are water resistant but not waterproof. You may spill drinks and wet mop. All that is
needed to clean the acrylic surface is water and a clean rag. Never use anything abrasive.
Whatever does not come off with water can be easily removed with “Goof Off” remover and a clean rag.
We have tested many cleaners and recommend “Goof Off” brand professional strength remover (in the
yellow can). It can be used to clean any parts of the floor panels and trim. Simply wet a clean rag with
Goof Off and wipe.
