Wiring Instructions
- Ensure the power supply is turned off before making any connections.
- Connect the DC power adapter (DC12V-24V) to the input side of the MLR2 controller. The input is labeled 'INPUT: DC12V-24V Red: V+ Black: V-'.
- Connect your single-color LED strip to the output side of the MLR2 controller. The output is labeled 'OUTPUT: MAX 6A Red: V+ Black: V-'.
- Double-check all connections for polarity (V+ to V+, V- to V-).
- Once all connections are secure, you may turn on the power supply.
Pairing with Remote or Gateway
The MLR2 controller can be paired with up to 12 compatible Miboxer 2.4GHz remotes or gateways.
- To Link: Power on the controller. Within 3 seconds, press the 'SET' button on the controller briefly. Then, on your compatible Miboxer remote, press the 'ON' button for the desired zone or the 'ON' button for the entire system. The LED lights should flash to confirm successful pairing.
- To Unlink: Power on the controller. Within 3 seconds, press and hold the 'SET' button on the controller for approximately 3 seconds. The LED lights should flash to confirm unlinking.
Operating Instructions
Basic Dimming Control
Once paired with a compatible Miboxer 2.4GHz remote, you can control the brightness of your single-color LED lights. The controller supports a smooth dimming range from 0.1% to 100%, allowing for precise adjustment of light intensity.
Smart App Control (Requires 2.4GHz Gateway)
For advanced control via a smartphone app, the MLR2 controller can be integrated with a Miboxer 2.4GHz gateway (sold separately). The gateway connects to your home Wi-Fi network, enabling control through applications like Tuya Smart.

Maintenance
- Keep the controller clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
- Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the controller to prevent overheating.
- Regularly check all wiring connections to ensure they remain secure.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| LEDs do not light up. | No power, incorrect wiring, or faulty LED strip. | Check power supply, verify wiring polarity, test LED strip separately. |
| Cannot control LEDs with remote. | Controller not paired, remote battery low, or out of range. | Re-pair the controller with the remote, replace remote battery, ensure remote is within 30m range. |
| Dimming is not smooth or flickers. | Overloaded controller or incompatible LED strip. | Ensure total current does not exceed 6A. Use compatible single-color LED strips. |
| App/Voice control not working. | Gateway not connected/paired, Wi-Fi issue, or incorrect app configuration. | Ensure gateway is properly set up and paired with the controller. Check Wi-Fi connection and app settings. |
