The FUT037S+ is a compact and powerful LED strip controller. It supports three different LED strip configurations: RGB (4 wires), RGBW (5 wires), and RGB+CCT (6 wires). It operates on a 2.4GHz RF frequency, providing a control distance of up to 30 meters (98 feet). The device features an indicator output mode for easy identification of the selected LED strip type.

Key Features

• 3-in-1 Compatibility: Works with RGB (4 wires), RGBW (5 wires), and RGB+CCT (6 wires) LED strip lights.
• Output Mode Switching: Easily switch between RGB, RGBW, and RGB+CCT output modes by pressing the [SET] key. Indicator lights (Red for RGB, Green for RGBW, Blue for RGB+CCT) confirm the selected mode.
• Remote Control Support: Compatible with Miboxer/Mi-Light 2.4GHz series remote controllers (sold separately), such as FUT096, FUT092, FUT089, B4, S2-W.
• Smartphone APP Control: Control the LED strips via a smartphone application when connected to a WL-Box1 Gateway (sold separately). This allows for control even when away from home.
• Voice Control: Integrates with Amazon Alexa and Google Home for voice commands when paired with a WL-Box1 Gateway (sold separately).
• Signal Transmitting & Modes Synchronization: One controller can transmit signals to other controllers within 30m, extending the control range. Multiple controllers can synchronize modes when controlled by the same remote.

1. Power Connection: Connect a DC12V~24V power supply to the "INPUT" terminals (V+ and V-) on the controller.
2. LED Strip Connection: Connect your LED strip light to the "OUTPUT" terminals. Ensure the correct terminals are used based on your LED strip type:
   • RGB (4 wires): Connect to V+, R, G, B.
   • RGBW (5 wires): Connect to V+, R, G, B, W.
   • RGB+CCT (6 wires): Connect to V+, R, G, B, CW, WW.
3. Secure Connections: Ensure all wire connections are secure to prevent short circuits or loose contacts.

Operating Instructions

Switching Output Mode

The FUT037S+ supports three different output modes to match your LED strip type. To switch between modes:

• Press the [SET] button once to activate the linking mode.
• Press the [SET] button continuously to cycle through the output modes:
  • Indicator Red: RGB mode
  • Indicator Green: RGBW mode
  • Indicator Blue: RGB+CCT mode

Troubleshooting

• LED Strip Not Lighting Up:
  • Check power supply connection and ensure it's DC12V~24V.
  • Verify LED strip wiring to the controller terminals (V+, R, G, B, W, CW, WW) for correct polarity and type.
  • Ensure the controller's output mode matches your LED strip type (RGB, RGBW, RGB+CCT).
• Remote Control Not Working:
  • Ensure the remote is a compatible Miboxer/Mi-Light 2.4GHz series remote.
  • Check the remote's battery.
  • Re-pair the remote with the controller according to the remote's instructions.
  • Ensure the remote is within the 30-meter control distance.
• App/Voice Control Not Responding:
  • Confirm the WL-Box1 Gateway is properly connected and powered on.
  • Verify the gateway's internet connection.
  • Ensure the controller is correctly linked to the WL-Box1 Gateway.
  • Check your smartphone app settings and voice assistant integration.
• Incorrect Colors/Functionality:
  • Double-check the LED strip wiring for any crossed wires.
