8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your MiBOXER PZ5 controller, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• LEDs not lighting up:
  • Check all wiring connections for secure contact.
  • Verify the power supply is correctly connected and providing the correct voltage (DC12-24V).
  • Ensure the LED strip itself is functional.
  • Confirm the output mode of the controller matches your LED strip type.
• Remote control not responding:
  • Ensure the remote is within the 30m control range.
  • Re-link the remote with the controller (press SET button once on controller, then follow remote's linking instructions).
  • Check the remote's battery.
• Zigbee pairing failed:
  • Ensure the controller is in Zigbee pairing mode (long press SET for 3 seconds, indicator flashes quickly).
  • Verify your Zigbee gateway is in pairing mode and within range.
  • Check for interference from other 2.4GHz devices.
  • Try resetting the controller and the gateway, then attempt pairing again.
• Incorrect colors or dimming issues:
  • Confirm the controller's output mode is correctly set for your LED strip (e.g., RGB+CCT for full control).
