3.2 Power Connection

1. Ensure the power supply is within the DC5-24V range.
2. Connect the positive (+) terminal of your power supply to the "POWER 5-24V" input on the controller.
3. Connect the negative (-) terminal (GND) of your power supply to the "POWER GND" input on the controller.
4. Verify all connections are secure before applying power.

3.3 LED Strip Connection

The H807SB features four output ports for connecting LED pixel strips.

1. Identify the Data (DAT/D) and Ground (GND) wires on your LED pixel strip.
2. Connect the Data wire of your LED strip to the "DAT/D" terminal of an available output port (Port 1, 2, 3, or 4) on the controller.
3. Connect the Ground wire of your LED strip to the "GND" terminal of the same output port.
4. Repeat for additional LED strips, utilizing the remaining ports as needed.
5. Ensure the LED strip's voltage matches the controller's output voltage (which is determined by the input power supply).

3.4 SD Card Insertion

1. Format your SD card to FAT32 or FAT16 file system.
2. Load your desired DAT files (up to 64) onto the formatted SD card.
3. Locate the SD card slot on the side of the H807SB controller (refer to Figure 2).
4. Insert the SD card into the slot until it clicks into place.

3.5 Software Installation and Connectivity

1. Download and install "LED Programming Software" V5.03 or above on your computer.
2. For mobile control, download the corresponding application for Android devices.
3. Power on the H807SB controller.
