4. Setup and Installation
Important Compatibility Note:
To ensure proper functionality and compatibility, it is highly recommended to purchase the entire set (main board, receiver, and remote). If you are purchasing components separately, please verify that the model is universally compatible with your existing smoke machine components. The manufacturer is not responsible for issues arising from non-universal component compatibility.
4.1 Wiring Instructions
Refer to the application diagram and detailed board images for correct wiring. Ensure all power is disconnected before making any connections.
- Power Input: Connect the main power supply to the "L INPUT N" terminals on the CHX-304A main board.
- Power Output: Connect the smoke machine's power input to the "L OUTPUT N" terminals.
- LED Control (if applicable): Connect any external LED lighting for the smoke machine to the "+12V+" and "RGB" terminals.
- Receiver Module Connection: Connect the wireless receiver module to the designated pins on the main board, ensuring correct alignment of GND, DAT, and 5V.

Safety Warning:
Incorrect wiring can damage the circuit board or the smoke machine. If you are unsure about any wiring steps, consult a qualified technician.
5. Operation
5.1 Remote Control Operation
Once the circuit board is correctly installed and powered, you can operate your smoke machine using the provided remote control.
- R (Red), G (Green), B (Blue) Buttons: These buttons are typically used to control the color of any integrated LED lighting on the smoke machine. Press to cycle through or select colors.
- F (Fog) Button: Press this button to activate the fog output of the smoke machine. Press again to stop.
5.2 Manual Control
The main board may also support manual control options, indicated by "手动控制" (manual control) on the board. Consult your smoke machine's specific instructions for manual override or direct control methods if available.
6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your CHX-304A circuit board:
- Keep the board clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry brush or compressed air for cleaning.
- Avoid exposing the board to moisture or extreme temperatures.
- Regularly check all connections to ensure they are secure.
- If the remote control stops responding, check its battery (if applicable) and ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the receiver.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Smoke machine does not activate. | No power to the board; incorrect wiring; faulty remote/receiver. | Check power connections (L INPUT N). Verify wiring to smoke machine (L OUTPUT N). Ensure remote has power and is within range. |
| Remote control unresponsive. | Remote battery low/dead; receiver module disconnected/faulty; interference. | Replace remote battery. Check receiver module connection (GND, DAT, 5V). Reduce potential interference sources. |
| LED lights not changing color. | Incorrect RGB wiring; LED strip faulty. | Verify connections to +12V+ and RGB terminals. Test LED strip separately if possible. |
