4. Setup

This kit is designed for 12V DC lighting projects and applications. Proper wiring is essential for safe and correct operation.

Wiring Instructions:

1. Identify Power Source: Ensure you have a stable 12V DC power source. The system requires a power input of 12V DC/6 Amps.
2. Connect Receiver to Power: Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of your 12V DC power source to the corresponding input terminals on the RM06 receiver unit. Observe polarity carefully.
3. Connect Lighting Application: Connect your 12V lighting project (e.g., LED strips, accent lights) to the output terminals of the RM06 receiver unit. Ensure the total power consumption of your lighting does not exceed the maximum output of 36 Watts (3 Amp Max).
4. Secure Connections: Double-check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits.
5. Mount Receiver: Position the receiver unit in a location where it is protected from moisture and extreme temperatures, and where it has a clear line of sight to the area where the remote will be used for optimal signal reception.

• To Activate Stroke Mode: Press the Upper Right (Grey) button. This will activate the lighting in a specific 'stroke' mode.
• To Turn Off: Press the Lower Right (Grey) button. This will turn off all active lighting modes.

Ensure you are within the effective receiving distance of approximately 94.4 feet (with clear line of sight) for optimal remote performance.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your Logisys RM06 kit, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Keep Dry: Protect both the receiver and remote controls from water and excessive moisture.
• Clean Gently: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the devices. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Battery Replacement: The keychain remote controls are powered by small batteries (type not specified, typically coin cell). If the remote's range decreases or it stops responding, replace the battery. Refer to the remote's casing for battery type and replacement instructions.
• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the devices to extremely high or low temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your RM06 kit, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Lights Not Responding to Remote:
  • Check if the receiver unit is powered on and receiving 12V DC.
  • Ensure all wiring connections between the power source, receiver, and lighting are secure and correct.
  • Replace the battery in the remote control.
  • Ensure you are within the effective operating range (approx. 94.4 feet clear line of sight) and there are no major obstructions between the remote and the receiver.
  • Verify that the remote control's frequency (315 MHz) is not being interfered with by other devices.
• Lights Not Turning On/Off:
  • Confirm the 12V lighting application itself is functional when directly connected to a 12V power source.
  • Check the maximum output capacity (36 Watts / 3 Amps) of the receiver. Overloading the receiver can prevent proper operation.
• Inconsistent Brightness Control:
  • Ensure the power supply to the receiver is stable and not fluctuating.
  • Verify that the lighting connected is compatible with dimming functions.
