Product Usage Instructions

• Wiring Diagram
  Connect the power supply to the controller input and the controller output to the LED lighting. Ensure the output voltage of the power supply matches that of the LED lighting. Securely connect and insulate all power cables before powering on.

• On/Off Functionality
  To turn the controller on, press the “|” key, and to turn it off, press the “0” key. The controller will retain its state when powered off and resume that state when powered back on.

• Brightness Adjustment
  You can adjust the brightness level by using the corresponding keys on the remote control.

• Dynamic Effects
  The controller offers dynamic lighting effects for added ambiance. Explore different effects using the remote control.

• Overheat Protection
  If the controller overheats, it will automatically shut down until the temperature returns to a safe range. Ensure the output current stays below the rated level to prevent overheating.

• Remote Control Operation
  Pull out the plastic battery insulation tab before using the remote control. The RF wireless remote can operate through walls and doors but should not be installed in a metal enclosure.

Pairing with a New Remote Control

1. Disconnect power to the receiver and wait five seconds.
2. Reconnect power.
3. Within ten seconds, press the “50%” and “10%” keys simultaneously for about three seconds until the remote indicator flashes quickly.

De-pairing Remotes
To de-pair a remote control, pair the desired remote with the controller, and any previously paired remotes will be de-paired automatically.

FAQ

• Q: What should I do if the remote indicator flashes slowly?
  A: If the indicator flashes slowly, it indicates low battery power. Replace the CR2032 battery with a new one.

• Q: How many remotes can be paired with one receiver?
  A: The remote control and receiver are pre-paired, but you can pair up to 5 remotes with one receiver.

Slimline Single Color LED Controller

With RF Remote Control
Model # 523420

Introduction

This LED controller is designed to drive constant voltage single color LED products such as LED tape light or LED fixtures in a voltage range of 5–24 volts DC. The receiver works with the RF wireless remote control, which allows the user to adjust LED brightness and select dynamic effects.

Receiver & wiring

1. Input – from power supply
   The controller input and output voltage range is 5–24 volts DC. Make sure the LED lighting voltage is within this range and below the rated wattage of the power supply. Connect input wires from the power supply to the controller as indicated by the polarity markings on the controller (+ to + and – to –).

2. Output – to LED lighting
   Observe polarity indicated on the controller when
   connecting to LED lighting (+ to + and – to –). Make sure the voltage of the LED lighting is the same as the power supply and the maximum load doesn’t exceed that of the controller.
   CAUTION: Shorting of output cables could cause permanent damage to controller. Make sure cables are well insulated from each other.
   Wiring diagram
   Connect the power supply to the controller input and the controller output to the LED lighting. The output voltage of the power supply must be the same as the voltage of the LED lighting. Make sure all power cables are conected securely and insulated before powering on.

3. Remote Control

4. On / Off
   Press the “|” key to turn on controller or the “0” key to turn off. The controller will remember the controller state when powered off, and will return to that state when powered back on.

5. Brightness adjustment
   Press the “+” and “–” keys to adjust brightness or press the 100%, 50%, 25%, and 10% keys to jump to the specific brightness level.

6. Dynamic effects
   Press “MODE+” and “MODE–” to select the dynamic effect mode and “SPEED+” and “SPEED–” to adjust the effect speed.

7. Remote indicator
   When pressing keys, the indicator blinks if the remote is working properly. If the indicator flashes slowly when pressing keys, battery power is low and it needs to be replaced. Replace with a CR2032 battery.

Remote control operation

Using the remote control
Pull out plastic battery insulation tab before use. The RF wireless remote will work through walls and doors. Do not install in a metal enclosure.

Pairing with a new remote control
The remote control and receiver are already paired, but up to 5 remotes can be paired to one receiver.

To pair a new remote:

1. Disconnect power to receiver and wait five seconds.
2. Reconnect power.
3. Within ten seconds, press the “50%” and “10%” keys simultaneously for about three seconds until the remote indicator flashes quickly.

De-pairing remotes

To de-pair a remote control, pair the remote you wish to continue using with the controller and any other paired remotes will be de-paired.

Overheat protection
If the controller overheats, it will automatically shut down until the temperature drops to a safe range. If this occurs, check to make sure the output current is below the rated level.
