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.

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.
3. 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.

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
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
