Making the upgrade …
RETROFIT CONTROLLER INSTALLATION
THE OELO RETROFIT
Congratulations on your Oelo Controller Retrofit Kit purchase. This manual provides step-by-step instructions to help you update your controller to Oelo’s latest technology.
- Your new controller has the ability to power up to 300 lights from a single control box (or more, if paired with an optional boost box)!
- Plus, your controller has six (6!!) Individually controllable signal outputs, which allows you to install six different zones from one controller for creative installs, like separate out-and-down sections and front and rear zones!
- Last but not least, the new controller works with the new Oelo Evolution App!

AFTER!
RETROFIT COMPONENTS
Below are key retrofit components you may want to familiarize yourself with
before installing.
Existing Components
CURRENT CONTROL BOX : Your current Control Box will be used in the
retrofit.
(The new Control Board will replace your current Control Board within this
box.)
EXISTING CONTROL BOARD SCREWS: The existing Control Board Screws, which
hold the current Control Board / Metal Plate in the box, will be re-used to
mount the new Control Board / Metal Plate.
EXISTING OUTLET PLATE : The existing Outlet Plate will be removed to
access Power Supply wiring, then will be re-installed upon completion.
WIRE, LIGHTS + CHANNEL: The new Controller plugs directly into your
existing wire, light and channel runs. (You can also decide to expand your
system to add additional zones).
Retrofit Components
NEW CONTROL BOARD: The new Control Board is mounted to a metal plate
(which screws into the Control Box after the old board has been removed).
NEW LPV-20-12 POWER SUPPLY: The new Power Supply is pre-connected to the
new Control Unit Board and will be inserted into the existing Control Box with
supplied double-sided 3M tape.
NEW ANTENNA: The Retrofit Kit is equipped with a high-powered antenna to
help your Controller communicate with your WiFi for ultimate cloud-based
control.
