6. Setup and Installation

6.1 Unpacking and Inspection

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the LED strip, controller, and remote for any signs of damage. If any damage is found, do not proceed with installation and contact support.

6.2 Planning the Installation

Determine the desired location for your LED strip. Measure the required length. Remember that the strip can only be cut at designated 1-meter intervals.

6.3 Cutting the LED Strip (if necessary)

If you need to shorten the LED strip, locate the designated cutting marks, which are typically indicated every 1 meter. Use sharp scissors to cut precisely at these marks. Cutting at any other point will damage the strip and may render it inoperable.

6.4 Connecting the Controller

The LED strip connects directly to the controller. Ensure the connection is secure and sturdy. The controller then plugs into a standard EU power outlet.

6.5 Mounting the LED Strip

Use the provided fixing clips to secure the LED strip in place. Ensure the surface is clean and dry for optimal adhesion if using adhesive-backed clips (if applicable, not explicitly stated but common). For outdoor installations, ensure clips are robustly fastened to withstand environmental conditions.

7. Operating Instructions

Once the LED strip is securely installed and connected to the power supply via the controller, use the 24-key IR remote control to operate it.

7.1 Remote Control Functions

• Power ON/OFF: Turns the LED strip on or off.
• Dimming: Adjusts the brightness of the lights.
• RGB Buttons (R, G, B): Activates Red, Green, or Blue light.

8. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Ensure the LED strip is disconnected from power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and debris. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the strip is completely dry before reconnecting power.
• Inspection: Periodically check the LED strip and connections for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Address any issues promptly.
• Storage: If storing the LED strip for an extended period, ensure it is clean, dry, and coiled loosely to prevent damage. Store in a cool, dry place.

9. Troubleshooting

• LED Strip does not light up:
  • Check if the power plug is securely connected to the outlet.
  • Ensure the LED strip is correctly connected to the controller.
  • Verify that the remote control battery is inserted correctly and has power.
  • Confirm the power button on the remote has been pressed.
• Remote control not working:
  • Check and replace the remote control battery (CR2025 or similar, not included).
  • Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the controller's IR receiver.
  • Make sure you are within the effective range of the remote control.
• Only part of the strip lights up:
  • This usually indicates a damaged section. If the strip was cut, ensure it was cut at the designated marks.
  • Inspect for physical damage or kinks in the strip.
• Colors are incorrect or inconsistent:
  • Ensure the controller is functioning correctly. Try resetting the power.
  • Check for any loose connections between the strip and the controller.

10. User Tips

• When installing long strips (e.g., 50m or 100m), remember that these lengths typically come with two controllers to ensure optimal performance and brightness distribution.
• For outdoor use, ensure all connections to the controller are properly sealed and protected from direct exposure to heavy rain or prolonged moisture, especially for the IP65 rated 1000W controller. The IP67 rated 1500W controller offers higher protection.
• Always unroll the entire LED strip before plugging it in to prevent heat buildup and potential damage.
