4.2. PCZ-2 Color Touch 2 Zone Remote Control
The PCZ-2 remote control allows for intuitive management of your connected LED lighting. It features a color touch wheel for precise color selection and dedicated buttons for controlling two independent lighting zones, brightness, and various lighting modes.
5. Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure all power is disconnected at the main circuit breaker.
- Mounting: Select a suitable, secure location for the transformer. Mount the unit vertically using appropriate fasteners, ensuring adequate ventilation around the enclosure.
- Input Wiring: Connect the AC input power (100-240V AC) to the designated input terminals on the transformer. Ensure proper polarity (Live, Neutral, Ground) as indicated on the unit. Use appropriate gauge wiring for the power requirements.
- Output Wiring: Connect your 24V DC PAL LED lighting fixtures to the output terminals. The transformer supports two independent zones. Ensure correct polarity (+ and -) for each lighting fixture. Refer to your lighting fixture's manual for specific wiring diagrams.
- Remote Control Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the PCZ-2 remote control and insert the two AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity.
- Power On: Once all connections are secure and verified, restore power at the circuit breaker.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Pairing the Remote Control
The PCZ-2 remote control should be pre-paired with the transformer. If pairing is lost or a new remote is introduced:
- Ensure the transformer is powered on.
- Within 5 seconds of powering on the transformer, press and hold the 'Zone 1 ON' button on the remote control for approximately 3 seconds. The connected lights should flash to confirm successful pairing.
- Repeat for 'Zone 2 ON' button if you wish to pair the second zone.
6.2. Basic Remote Functions
- Power ON/OFF: Press the 'ON' or 'OFF' buttons for each zone to toggle power.
- Color Selection: Use the color touch wheel to select desired static colors.
- Brightness Control: Use the brightness up/down buttons to adjust the intensity of the selected color or mode.
- Mode Selection: Cycle through pre-programmed lighting modes (e.g., color changing, fading) using the 'Mode' button.
- Zone Control: Independently control Zone 1 and Zone 2 using their respective buttons.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the transformer and remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect wiring connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Ensure all connections remain secure.
- Battery Replacement: Replace the AAA batteries in the remote control when its performance degrades or it stops responding.
