Installation

Before installation, ensure the power is switched off and cannot be accidentally turned back on. The surface must be even, dust-free, grease-free, and dry. If the surface is current-carrying, apply an insulating layer between the LED strip and the surface.

1. Prepare the surface.
2. Shorten the LED strip if necessary.
3. Remove the protective foil and press the LED strip on, avoiding direct pressure on electronic components.
4. Connect the LED strip to the controller, then to the power supply.

Shortening the LED strip

Always switch off the power supply before shortening. The LED strip can be separated after every five LEDs (166.7 mm) at the marked points. Use a micro side cutter or a cutter if necessary.

Mounting the connector

1. Remove the protective film and adhesive foil on the back of the LED strip in the connector area.
2. Flip up the cover of the short connector side.
3. Insert the LED strip into the gap, ensuring it is flush at the back.
4. Fold down the cover and press it down.
5. Use a tool (e.g., pliers) to carefully press the connector together until a clicking sound is heard on both sides.
6. Ensure the plastic cover is not sticking up and the strip is correctly contacted.
7. Insert the cable into the connector, ensuring it is positioned at the very back and in the two notches.
8. Close the cover and press the connector together in the center to secure.

Safety instructions

• Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician.
• The LED controller is not waterproof; protect it from direct sunlight and rain. For outdoor use, install in a waterproof housing.
• Ensure the installation location has good ventilation.
• Verify that the voltage and power adapter are suitable for the controller.
• Ensure correct polarity (anode and cathode) matches the controller.
• Do not connect cables while the power is on; check for short circuits before switching on.
• Do not attempt repairs yourself, as this invalidates the warranty.
