SAFETY & WARNINGS
- Securely mount the Hueda™ Controller
- This product is intended to be installed and serviced by a qualified licensed electrician. Install by the National Electric Code and local regulations. Only power with a regulated (listed) constant voltage Class 2 power supply (12-24V DC Max).
- Failure to use a Class 2 power supply may cause fire or serious injury and will void the limited warranty. Never use this product with a dimmable or magnetic dimmable power source(driver)
- Ensure the applicable wire is installed between the driver, fixture, and any controls in between. When choosing wire, factor in voltage drop, amperage rating, and type (in-wall rated, Plenum rated, wet location rated, etc.).
- Inadequate wire installation could overheat wires and cause fire.
- This product is rated for indoor installation and only for dry locations. Do not install in washrooms or areas near water (or the possibility of in the future).
- Do not modify this product beyond the instructions in this guide or the limited warranty will be voided.
- Wiring diagrams in this installation guide for basic installations. Please carefully review your installation before proceeding with a qualified electrician familiar with low-voltage wiring.
- Never install the HUEDA™ Controller with other high voltage Junction Box as there is a risk of shock hazard! National
- Electric Code requires electrical conductors to be separated by a barrier within the box or in a separate box! Install only in the provided Junction box.
IMPORTANT NOTE
- Install the Hueda DMX controller in a separate box rated for Low-voltage use. NEC codes require conductors shall not be placed in any raceway, compartment, outlet box, junction box, or similar fitting with conductors of electric light or power.
WIRE ENDS
WIRE 6-8MM (0.25-0.30″)
- Exposed wire should not be more than 6- 8 mm long & solder tip (tinned). Do not allow Wires to cross and insure all exposed wire is fully inserted into the screw terminals. Hand-tighten screw terminals. Use 24 to 18 AWG gauge wire for output terminals.
INCLUDED ITEMS IN BOX

- Instructions
REMOTE OPERATION
- The DMX controller can also be controlled remotely via wi-fi with a compatible(iOS version> 8.0) iOS tablet or mobile device using our application “HUEDA”.
- Please see our HUEDA™ web page for application instructions.
OPERATION OVERVIEW
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
- Install in accordance with the NEC and local regulations.
- Turn power OFF at the main circuit breaker and verify the power is off.
- Determine an accessible location for a compatible low-voltage driver to be installed between the main breaker and the DMX controller.
- Determine a location to install additional accessories such as DMX decoders, fixtures, etc. Ensure the applicable wire is installed between all components.
- When choosing wire, factor in voltage drop, amp rating, and type to prevent fire or electric shock.
- Remove the existing wall plate and switch. Pull the switch from identify wires and disconnect from the switch.
- Remove the existing switch box from the wall and install the included DMX controller switch box. Additional tools may be required to fit the DMX controller switch box in the wall.
- Make wiring connections. See ‘Wiring Connections’ and ‘Mounting Diagram’ for additional information.
- Replace the wiring back into the switch box. Mount and align DMX decoders/fixtures. See ‘Setting the DMX Address’.
SETTING THE DMX ADDRESS
- Please refer to DMX Receiver instructions for setting the DMX address
WIRING CONNECTIONS
- DO NOT connect directly to 120VAC.
- See ‘System Diagram for a general system design.
MOUNTING
- Pop off the faceplate with a flathead screwdriver
- Use a compatible 120 Volt Shallow Junction Box (Plastic) to wall mount the touch controller.
WARNING!
- Never install the HUEDA™ Controller with other high voltage Junction Box as there is a risk of shock hazard!
- National Electric Code requires electrical conductors to be separated by a barrier within the box or in a separate box! Install only in the provided Junction box

TROUBLESHOOTING
For thorough troubleshooting of LED strip lights and fixtures, see LED fixture installation guides.
LED fixtures not responding to touch
- Ensure the blue indicator light is on by pressing the ‘Power Button’.
- Ensure the appropriate zone number is pressed before controlling the DMX decoder/fixture. For example, if you know the fixture is addressed to zone 1, press 1 before controlling.
- Ensure the individual zone has not been turned off. Pressing zones 1-3 will turn the specific zone ON/OFF. Additionally, long pressing R, G, and B, will increase/decrease individual brightness, and tapping will turn R, G, B, W ON/OFF.
- Ensure the DMX decoder/fixture is addressed properly. For example, address ‘001’ will respond to zone 1 of the controller.
- See ‘Setting the DMX Address for additional addressing information.
LED fixture responding incorrectly
- Ensure all wiring connections are correct. Reversing the Data + and Data – will cause lights to flicker and not respond to the controller.
- Power connections of all components (drivers, DMX decoders/fixtures, DMX controller).
- DMX Data connections -see ‘Pinout Connection Guide’ and ‘System Diagram’ for Rj45 hard-wiring connections.
- DMX decoder PWM output connections -see ‘System Wiring Diagram for CH 1-4 connections

SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAM
The following wiring diagram is an example of system connectivity. CAT5 (RJ45
connections) cables are the most effective solution for transmitting DMX-512
signals. XLR-3 cables may also be installed but require an additional adapter
for connecting to DMX decoders. With DMX decoders it is possible to transmit
signal wireless with the use of LC-51 2X wireless sticks. Always review each
component’s installation guide for detailed and up-to-date wiring
instructions.
Install in accordance with NEC and local regulations.
