Setup and Installation
1. Wiring the Controller
The E2-ZR controller features tool-free wiring for easy connection. Ensure all power is disconnected before wiring.
- Connect your DC 12-24V power supply to the input terminals (V+ and V-).
- Connect your LED strip light to the output terminals. The controller is compatible with single color (2 wires) and CCT dual white (3 wires) LED strip lights.
- Ensure correct polarity (V+, W, CW for CCT; V+, W for single color).
2. Setting Output Mode
The E2-ZR controller supports two output modes: Single Color Mode and Dual White Mode. You can switch between these modes using the SET button.
- Press the SET button continuously to cycle through the output modes.
- The indicator light on the controller will change color to show the current mode:
- Red Light: Single Color Mode
- Green Light: Dual White Mode
- Attention: If no operation is performed within 3 seconds, the controller will log out of the setting mode.
3. Linking with a Remote Control (Optional)
To link the controller with a compatible 2.4G RF remote control (e.g., FUT007 or B2, sold separately):
- Ensure the LED strip light is connected and the controller is powered on.
- Turn off the electricity to the controller. Wait for 5 seconds or more.
- Turn on the electricity again. Within 3 seconds of the LED lights turning on, press any Zone's ON key on the remote control 3 times.
- The LED strip light will blink 3 times, indicating successful linking.
For visual instructions on linking with a B4 Panel Remote (similar to FUT007/B2), refer to the video below:

4. Smartphone Control via Zigbee Gateway (Excluded)
The E2-ZR controller requires a Zigbee 3.0 gateway hub (e.g., ZB-Box3, Philips Hue, Amazon Echo Plus/4th Gen, Echo Studio, Echo Show 2nd Gen) for smartphone app control and voice control. The controller cannot be controlled directly by a smartphone app without a gateway.
- Connect the Zigbee gateway to your home network and configure it according to its own instruction manual.
- Follow the instructions provided by your specific Zigbee gateway and smartphone app (e.g., Tuya Smart, Philips Hue, Amazon Alexa) to add the E2-ZR controller as a new device.
