3. Safety Information
- Always disconnect power before installing, connecting, or performing maintenance on the LED strip or controller.
- This product requires a DC24V power supply (not included). Do not connect directly to AC power.
- Ensure all wiring connections are secure and correct to prevent short circuits or damage.
- Avoid bending the LED strip sharply or at angles less than 90 degrees to prevent damage to the circuit board and LEDs.
- The IP65 rating indicates splash protection. Do not immerse the LED strip or controller in water.
- Keep the product out of reach of children.
4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Preparation
Before installation, ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any dust, oil, or moisture that could compromise the adhesive.
4.2 Cutting the LED Strip
The LED strip can be cut to your desired length at designated cut marks. These marks are typically located every 6 LEDs and are indicated by a copper pad. Only cut at these specific points to avoid damaging the circuit.
Image: The LED strip is designed to be cut at specific intervals, marked by copper pads, allowing for length customization.
4.3 Connecting the LED Strip
Use the provided 6-pin connectors to attach LED strip segments or to connect the strip to the C05RF controller. Ensure that the polarity (+ R G B C W) on the strip matches the corresponding terminals on the connector and controller.

4.4 Mounting the LED Strip
The LED strip features a strong double-sided adhesive backing. Peel off the protective film and firmly press the strip onto the prepared surface. For optimal adhesion, ensure the surface is clean and dry.
Image: The LED strip is equipped with double-sided adhesive tape for straightforward and secure mounting.
4.5 Connecting the C05RF Controller
Connect the LED strip to the output terminals of the C05RF controller, ensuring the + R G B C W labels align. Then, connect a DC24V power supply (sold separately) to the input terminals of the C05RF controller. Verify all connections before applying power.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 RC03RFB Remote Control Overview
Image: Labeled diagram of the RC03RFB remote control, detailing the function of each button and the color touch ring.
- Master ON/OFF: Turns all linked lights ON or OFF.
- Color Ring: Touch to select any desired RGB color.
- Pilot Lamp: Illuminates to indicate remote activity.
- Dynamic Modes: Cycles through various pre-programmed lighting effects.
- Brightness +/-: Adjusts the overall brightness level of the lights.
- 7 Colors Switching: Provides quick access to 7 static color presets.
- Color Temp/Saturation +/-: Adjusts the color temperature for white light (warm to cool) or saturation for RGB colors.
- White Light: Activates the white light mode.
- Zone ON/Link Button (1-4): Turns on a specific zone or initiates the linking process for a controller to that zone.
- Zone OFF/Night Light Mode (1-4): Turns off a specific zone or activates a low-brightness night light mode for that zone.
5.2 Linking Remote to Controller (Pairing)
- Ensure the C05RF controller is powered off.
- Power on the C05RF controller.
- Within 3 seconds of powering on, press the desired "Zone ON" button (e.g., Zone 1 ON) on the RC03RFB remote 3 times.
- The connected LED strip will flash 3 times to indicate successful pairing.
- Repeat this process for other controllers if you wish to assign them to different zones (1-4).
5.3 Unlinking Remote from Controller
- Ensure the C05RF controller is powered off.
- Power on the C05RF controller.
- Within 3 seconds of powering on, press the desired "Zone ON" button (e.g., Zone 1 ON) on the RC03RFB remote 5 times.
