Connection

The controller uses a common anode connection. Ensure the power supply voltage matches the controller requirements (12V-24V DC). Connect the LED load wires to the corresponding W, B, G, R, and + terminals on the controller.

Programming

Code Matching

For a new kit, the remote must be paired with the controller:

Correctly connect the power supply, LED controller, and LED load.
Switch off the power, then switch it on again.
Press the key 5 once within 3 seconds of powering on.
The LED light will blink twice slowly to confirm successful pairing.

Code Clearing

Switch off the power, then switch it on again.
Long press the key 5 within 3 seconds of powering on.
The LED light will blink nine times swiftly to confirm the code has been cleared.

Safety and Attention

Ensure the input voltage of the power supply is compatible with the controller.
Do not connect wires while the power is on.
Switch on only after verifying correct connections and ensuring there are no short circuits.
Keep fingers off the touch ring when installing batteries to maintain sensitivity.
Avoid using the controller in areas with strong electromagnetic interference or large metal surfaces, as this may reduce the remote control distance.

Practical help

Common problems

Remote does not control the lights

The remote may need to be paired with the controller. Follow the 'Code matching' procedure.

Low touch sensitivity on the remote

Reinstall the batteries. Ensure your fingers are not touching the touch ring during battery installation.

Remote distance is very short

Ensure the controller is not placed near large metal areas or sources of strong electromagnetic waves.

Before use

Verify the power supply provides 12V-24V DC.
Ensure the LED strip is a common anode type.
Install 2x AAA batteries in the remote.
Check all wiring connections for short circuits before powering on.
Ensure the controller is not installed in a shielded metal enclosure.
