Mechanical Structures and Installations

System Wiring

Note:

  1. The above distance is measured in spacious (no obstacle) environment, Please refer to the actual test distance before installation.
  2.  Please check if the WiFi router net in 2.4G band, the 5G band is not available, and do not hide your router network.
  3. Please keep the distance between devices and router close, and check the WiFi signals.
  4. WiFi signal strength detection: open the main interface of social security, click enter the device interface, click “check device network” for testing.

Wiring Diagram

  • Controller connect with SPI spotlights (TM1803)

  • Controller connect with one SPI pixel strips (WS2801)

  • Controller connect with SPI digital light tube (TM1809)

  • Controller connect with multiple SPI pixel strips (LED strip load over 8A)

Wire Preparation:

  1. The wiring can be solid or stranded with a cross-sectional area of 0.5 to 1.5 mm².
    Conventional 1mm² can withstand 10A output current.

  2. When wiring is installed, the terminals must be tightened.
    If they are not tightened, the contact point resistance will be too high and the terminals will easily burn due to heat when used at full load for a long time.

Installation Precautions:

  1. If the SPI LED strip is a single-wire control method, the DATA and CLK signal line outputs of the controller are same, and one controller can connect 4 LED strips.
  2. When the load of the light strip exceeds 8A, the light strip needs to be powered by another power supply (the light strip and the power supply must share the same ground), and only the DATA/CLK and GND lines are connected between the controller and the light strip.
  3. The output power of the constant voltage power supply is at least 1.2 times that of the output load (light strip), otherwise the full power output of the load will easily cause the lights to icker or shake automatically.
  4. The voltage of the power supply needs to be the same as the voltage of the light strip to avoid the phenomenon of the light strip not being lit or slightly lit.
  5.  When installing, the length of the signal line (DATA/CLK) needs to be ≤ 10 metres, and if it exceeds 10 metres, it needs to be connected to an SPI signal amplier (common ground) for signal amplication, to avoid signal interference due to the line being too long.
  6. When installing, the SPI signal lines (DATA,CLK) need to be separated from the strong power (100~240VAC) lines at a distance of ≥15cm to avoid the magnetic eld generated by the strong power from interfering with the signal transmission.
  7. Each signal output port (DATA/CLK) can only be connected to one set of light strips.
  8. The light strip is always on without control, it may be that the signal line (DATA/CLK) is open or the chip of the light strip is damaged, it is recommended to replace the signal line or the light strip.

Tuya smart APP Network Connection

Push twice Match key fastly, or press and hold Match key for 2s:
clear previous network connection, enter Smart config mode, LED indicator flash fastly.
Press and hold Match key for 5s:
Clear previous network connection, enter AP config mode, LED indicator flash slowly.
If smart config failed, please try AP config.
If Tuya smart APP network connection succeed, the RUN LED indicator will stop flash, and in Tuya smart APP, you can find device .

Other interface
For the first time use, set LED strip length, chip type and color sequence.

Light Strip Length interface
Strip length setting:
Select the appropriate number of pixels according to the actual length of the strip, 10 -1000.

Lights with color sequence interface

Tuya smart APP Interface

Colour:
Touch the color rectangle to adjust color and saturation.
Touch the brightness slide to adjust brightness.

White:
Touch the color rectangle to adjust color temperature.
Touch the brightness slide to adjust brightness.

Color Card:
Touch the color card array to select many different colors.
Touch the brightness slide to adjust brightness.

Combination:
Select a proportional distribution of multi-color circle, evenly distribute these colors on the LED strip.
Color Fill: Change the color of the full segment of the LED strip.
Color pen: change the color of a single segment of the LED strip.
Eraser: Erase the color of a single segment of the LED strip, i.e., turn off the light.
Color transition: When there are multiple colors in the LED strip, you can set to turn on or off the color segment gradient transition.

Scene interface
44 predefined scenarios and 10+ custom dynamic scenarios selectable.
The custom scenarios can select 16 types variations (fade, jump, breath, flash, flow, rainbow, shooting star, pile-up, floating down, chasing light, floating, flashing, bouncing, shuttle, chaotic flashing, open and close), the 1-8 colors, full or segment control, forward or reverse motion direction, adjustable brightness and speed.

Music rhythm interface
6 local music modes (rock, jazz, classical, rolling, energy, spectrum) selectable.
3 APP modes (music rhythm, game, romance) selectable.
Adjustable sensitivity of the received sound.
The light follows the rhythm according to the music collected by the phone microphone.
Note: the controller only supports App mode.

Notes.

  1. In APP, a light strip is fixed with 20 segments, strip length (total number of pixel points) ÷ 20 segments = number of pixel points per segment.

  2. The maximum length of the light strip is 1000 pixels, for example, a light strip of 5 meters long with 60 pixels per meter, you can set the length to 300 pixels.
    The whole light strip is divided into 20 segments, each segment has 15 pixels.

  3. When the light strip length is less than or equal to 20 pixels, for example, 10-20, each pixel sequentially corresponds to each segment from the beginning.

  4. When the light strip length is not an integer multiple of 20, the remainder of the strip will display the color of the last segment.

  5. When the actual light strip length is not an integer multiple of 20, it is recommended to set the length longer and increase the value to a multiple of 20.

  6. When the set of the light strip length is less than the actual length, the back part of the light strip can not be controlled.

  7. When the selected dynamic mode cycle running interval is too long, please reset the correct pixel length.

  8. When the static or dynamic mode color display is not consistent with the APP interface, please re-select the light strip color sequence.

Match R9 Remote Control
Match: Short press on the match key, immediately press on/off key of the remote. The LED indicator fast flash a few times means match is successful.
