1. Input – from power supply
The controller input and output voltage range is
6–24 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 +,
G to G, R to R, B to B, and W to W).
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. Controller status indicator
This light shows the controller status as follows:
Steady yellow: Remote only mode, Wi-Fi disconnected
Steady green: Remote and Wi-Fi mode
Single green blink: Command received
Long single yellow blink: Brightness or speed limit reached
Red flash: Overload protection
Yellow flash: Overheat protection
Green flash 3 times: Setup command received
4. 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.

Overview

1. Function Description
2. Important Technical Specifications
3. Usage Features
4. Maintenance Features

The Armacost Lighting ProLine Wi-Fi RGB+W Color LED Controller with RF Remote Control (Model # 714421) is designed to manage constant voltage RGB+White LED products, such as tape lights or fixtures, operating within a 6-24 volts DC range. This controller offers comprehensive control over LED lighting, allowing users to select from multiple colors, adjust brightness, and choose dynamic effects through both an RF wireless remote and a Wi-Fi connection via the Tuya Smart App.

Function Description

The controller acts as an intermediary between a power supply and LED lighting. It receives DC power and outputs controlled power to RGB+W LED fixtures. The RF remote provides immediate control, while the Wi-Fi connectivity enables smart home integration and advanced features through the Tuya app. The device supports full safety protection, wide voltage range, and high power output.

Maintenance Features

• Safety Protection: The controller features built-in protection against mis-wiring, output short circuit, overloading, and overheating. It will automatically shut down under extreme conditions and resume operation once safe conditions are restored. To prevent shutdowns, ensure LED lighting is compatible with constant voltage driving, within the controller's rated range, and that cables are securely connected and insulated.
• Installation: Install the controller with proper ventilation and heat dissipation in mind. Avoid installing in metal enclosures, as this can interfere with the RF wireless remote signal.
• Warranty: The product comes with a limited 1-year warranty. It is intended for dry location use only. Improper installation, powering, abuse, or use outside its intended purpose will void the warranty. Proof of purchase is required for returns.
