Battery instructions
- Batteries should be kept out of the reach of children.
- Do not leave batteries lying around in the open; there is a risk of them being swallowed by children or pets. If they are swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
- Leaking or damaged batteries can cause burns if they come into contact with the skin. You should therefore wear suitable protective gloves.
- Liquids leaking from batteries are very chemically aggressive. Objects or surfaces coming into contact with these liquids might be considerably damaged. Therefore, store batteries in a suitable location.
- Batteries must not be short-circuited, opened or thrown into a fire. There is a risk of explosion!
- Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries; there is a risk of explosion!
- Please pay attention to the correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-) when inserting the battery.
Installation and start-up
Mounting the control unit
Before you start the installation, keep in mind that the IR receiver of the
control unit must be placed so that a flawless reception of the control
signals from the IR remote control is possible.
A direct optical contact between the IR LED of the IR remote control and the
IR receiver is beneficial; however, it is not a prerequisite. The IR light
(invisible to the human eye) of the IR remote control is reflected by many
surfaces.
Before you proceed to the permanent mounting of the control unit and the IR
receiver, check that they function properly.
-
The control unit can be screwed tight via two eyes located on the sides of the housing. Depending on the mounting site, you can also fasten the control unit using cable ties or a double-sided adhesive tape such as the supplied 3M tape.
When you screw the control unit into place, make sure that no cable or pipes are damaged when drilling and tightening the screws. -
Fasten the IR receiver of the control unit to a suitable place, e.g. by using a strip of adhesive tape or a cable tie.
Installing the LED stri p
-
The LED strip can be mounted on suitable surfaces, such as furniture or similar objects, using the adhesive tape located on the bottom side.
The LED strip must be mounted in such a way that it is not exposed to mechanical stress. It may not be mounted in such a way that someone can step on it; that will damage it. -
Carefully clean the surface onto which you want to mount the LED strip from dust, dirt and grease before mounting; otherwise the adhesive tape will come off the surface.
-
Remove part of the protective strip and stick the LED strip onto the mounting surface one section at a time. However, do not use force when pressing down.
- The LED strip can be cut at the marked points. The connection cables provided can be used to restore the electrical connection between the individual LED strip sections.
Connecting the LED strip to the control unit
Connect the 4-pin connection of the LED strip to the corresponding 4-pin
socket of the control unit.
The plug on the control unit should normally be inserted so that the arrow is pointing to the “+” marking on the LED strip. If the LED strip does not turn on, switch off the power supply and rotate the plug by 180°.
The plug connection can be protected from unintentional disconnection by using a strip of adhesive tape.
Connecting the wall plug transformer
- Connect the round low voltage plug of the wall plug transformer to the corresponding round socket on the control unit.
- Connect the wall plug transformer to a proper mains socket of the public supply network.
Inserting the battery into the IR remote control
- Open the battery compartment of the IR remote control and insert a battery of type “CR2025”, paying attention to the correct polarity (pay attention to plus/+ and minus/-). Close the battery compartment again.
- The battery needs replacing if the range of the IR remote control decreases or if the control unit no longer responds to the remote control.
Basic functions of the IR remote control
Point the LED on the front of the IR remote control at the IR receiver of the control unit and press the corresponding button.
“ON” button Switches the LED strip on
“OFF” button Switches the LED strip off
UP button Increases the brightness (not possible in all lighting programmes)
DOWN button Reduces the brightness (not possible in all lighting programmes)
“W” button Light colour “White”
“R” button For selection of the light colour “red”
“G” button For selection of the light colour “green”
“B” button For selection of the light colour “blue”

The four buttons “FLASH”, “STROBE”, “FADE” and “SMOOTH” can be used to start the predefined lighting programmes. Depending on the lighting programme, you can also change the brightness with the button (not possible in all lighting programmes).
Maintenance and cleaning
-
Apart from the occasional battery change for the IR remote control, the product is maintenance-free.
The built-in LED bulbs are permanently installed; they cannot be replaced. -
Before you clean the product, disconnect it from the mains voltage. Pull the wall plug transformer from the mains socket.
-
The outside of the product should only be cleaned with a clean, soft, dry cloth.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions for this could damage the housing (discolouring) or impair the operation.
