2.4. Pairing the Remote Control
The remote control and LED controller are typically pre-paired. If re-pairing is necessary or for multi-controller setups, follow these instructions:
Image 2.3: Visual guide for pairing the remote control, detailing both 1-to-many and 1-to-1 pairing methods.
- 1-to-Many Pairing: To pair one remote with multiple controllers, plug in the adapter for the LED controller. Within 5 seconds of powering on, press the green "LIGHT" button on the remote. The LED lights will flicker to indicate successful pairing. Repeat for other controllers.
- 1-to-1 Pairing: To pair one remote exclusively with a single controller, turn off the remote. Within 5 seconds of turning it back on, simultaneously press the "SPEED-" and "SPEED+" keys. The LED lights will flash, indicating a unique frequency pairing.
3. Operating Instructions
The 11-key RF remote control allows for easy adjustment of your single color LED strip lights.
- Power Button (⏻): Turns the LED lights on or off.
- LIGHT Button (LIGHT): Toggles the light on/off and is used for 1-to-many pairing.
- BRIGHT+ / BRIGHT- Buttons: Adjusts the brightness level of the LED lights. The controller offers a smooth dimmer effect.
- 100% / 50% / 25% Buttons: Quickly sets the brightness to preset levels (100%, 50%, or 25%).
- MODE+ / MODE- Buttons: Cycles through the available dynamic lighting modes. There are 8 dynamic modes.
- SPEED+ / SPEED- Buttons: Adjusts the speed of the current dynamic lighting mode. There are 10 speed levels. These buttons are also used for 1-to-1 pairing.
The controller features an autosave function, retaining the last setting even after power off.
