SEI-SETXLED LED Rocker Switch Remote Control
Model: SEI-SETXLED
Important
- Please read this User Guide before installation and use.
- CAUTION: The power input voltage range for your LED Rocker Switch Remote Control (referred to as Switch) is 9V to 16V. It is designed to work with a +12V DC battery power supply. If your vehicle battery power output is not 12V (e.g., 24V, 36V, or 48V), you will need a voltage converter with 12V output (e.g., a 48V-to-12V converter). Connecting the Switch directly to higher voltages will cause damage to your device and VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.
- The Switch has a built-in RF remote transmitter that will operate the LED lights on a wirelessly paired, LED Cast-enabled Sound Extreme product. This Switch only controls LED light functions, not audio. It is optimized for the Extreme Controller (a 4-Zone LED Controller by Sound Extreme). To control the audio functions as well as basic LED controls of Sound Extreme sound bars, speakers, and radios, please purchase the Audio Rocker Switch Remote Control. Visit www.soundextreme.us for more details.
- The Switch fits in a standard Carling rocker switch opening, which is commonly used in the dashboard of many off-road vehicles, boats, and golf cars. The Switch panel is waterproof; however, the housing behind the panel is only splash proof.
- CAUTION: In order to make sure there is no potential damage to your audio system, unplug or power off your audio equipment until after all connections are completed.
Introduction
Features
The Switch is an all-in-one device providing power and wireless LED lighting
controls to a paired Sound Extreme product.
Remote Turn-On Output
In addition to operating as a power switch, the Switch also has a +12V Remote
Turn-On signal output, which can be connected to an Extreme Controller’s
Remote Turn-On Input. That Extreme Controller can then be automatically
turned on or off when you turn the Switch on or off.
RF Remote Transmitter
The Switch has a built-in RF 433MHz remote transmitter, which is used to pair
with and control an Extreme Controller or other LED Cast-enabled Sound Extreme
product. The first time you use the Switch, you will need to pair it with a
product. Once they are paired, your product will remember your Switch. Next
time you power on your product, your Switch’s remote functions will be ready
to use.
Lighting Control Concepts
Below are some terms and definitions to help you better understand the
Lighting Control Concepts associated with the Extreme Controller and other LED
Cast-enabled Sound Extreme products. Please refer to the Extreme Controller
User Guide for more details.
Zone
A Zone corresponds to all the LED lights that are connected directly to one
physical connection on an LED Lighting Controller output. When you change a
Zone status (on / off, Mode, etc.), the LEDs connected to that Zone will
change accordingly. Depending on the product the Switch is paired with, the
Sound Extreme product may have 1 to 4 LED lighting Zones.
Mode
There are 3 LED Mode categories, totaling in 44 Modes supported by the
Switch’s RF remote control:
- 8 Color Mode
- 20 Party Mode
- 16 Music Mode
Scene
A Scene is programed via the Sound Extreme Smartphone App. You can customize
each Zone into a Scene (a preset). Setting the Scenes on the app allows a
1-button press to bring up your desired custom settings for all of the LED
products connected to the LED Lighting Controller. LED Cast-enabled Sound
Extreme products have 5 Scene settings.

Installation and Wiring
Installing Your Switch Onto Your Vehicle
The Switch is designed to snap into a standard Carling style rocker switch
opening.
- If you already have that style of an opening on your vehicle, you can simply snap the Switch into place.
- If your vehicle doesn’t already have that style of an opening, you will need to cut a rectangular hole into your vehicle. Before you cut, please refer to the dimensions under the Specifications section to determine the cutout size.
Connecting to an External Speaker
If you want to provide power to and control an external Extreme Controller’s
or other LED Cast-enabled Sound Extreme product’s power on and off feature,
you will need to connect it to the Switch’s Accessory Power Outputs and Remote
Turn-On Ouput.
Accessory Power Outputs
Connect the Switch’s Accessory Power Outputs (+12V and GND) to the power inputs on the Extreme Controller you want to control.
- Make sure that the Switch’s RED +12V Wire is connected to the Extreme Controller’s RED Wire and the Switch’s BLACK GND Wire is connected to the Extreme Controller’s BLACK Wire.
Remote Turn-On Output
Besides the 12V power supply, the Switch has an optional Remote Turn-On Signal
Output to turn on and power off the Extreme Controller or LED Cast-enabled
Sound Extreme product you want to control. The output voltage is 12V.
If your Sound Extremes product has a Remote Turn-On Input, follow the steps
below:
- Connect the Switch’s (Dark Blue) Remote Turn-On Output Wire to the Extreme Controller’s Remote Turn-On Input. You may need an extension cable (supplied with the ExtremeController).
- Once the connections are completed, the ExtremeController will automatically turn on or off when the Switch is turned on or off.
Connecting to 12VDC Power Supply
When you install the Switch to a battery or a voltage regulator on a golf
cart, a boat, a quad bike, a UTV, or another vehicle, you need to make sure
that your vehicle battery or battery pack terminal voltage is 12VDC. If the
battery terminal voltage is not 12V, you will need a DC–DC converter with
output 12V. Connecting the Switch to a non-12VDC power source will lead to a
malfunction or damage to the Switch.
Recommendation: If you are not familiar with all of the vehicle’s battery
or ignition switch connections, consult your vehicle’s manual or a technician.
Incorrect connections to your vehicle’s battery or ignition signal terminal
may cause damage to your speaker and your vehicle.
Connect the +12V and GND wires to the 12VDC power supply.
- Make sure that the RED Wire is connected to +12V battery’s positive (+) terminal and the BLACK Wire is connected to battery’s negative (-) terminal.
WARNING! Only connect to a 12V power supply. Do NOT connect to a 24V, 36V, or 48V power supply. Connecting the Switch directly to these higher voltages will cause damage to the Switch and VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.
Audio Functions
First Time RF Remote Pairing
The first time you use the Switch, you will need to pair the Switch with an
ExtremeController or other LED Cast-enabled Sound Extreme product. This
process is only needed for the first time you use the Switch with a product.
Please follow the steps below for first-time pairing:
-
Press and hold the Power Button to turn the Switch on.
-
If you are pairing with an Extreme Controller, the ExtremeController will automatically enable remote pairing when turned on. If you are pairing with another Sound Extreme product, you may need to enable RF remote pairing on your Sound Extreme product.
Example: On a Sound Extreme Elite Soundbar, press and hold both the and Buttons on the Soundbar at the same time for 3 seconds. The Sound bar’s LED Party Lights will flash Green, indicating it is ready to pair with a remote. -
On your Switch, double-click the Power Button . Your Switch will start pairing.
-
Once paired, the LED Party Lights connected to the ExtremeController will rapidly flash Green 3 times, indicating a successful pairing.
Note: The paired product may produce a different prompt to indicate a successful pairing. Please refer to the product’s User Guide. -
Now you can press a button on the Switch, such as the All Zones Button, to check if your ExtremeController responds.
