4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Linking with a Remote Control

To control the E3-RF controller wirelessly, it must be linked with a compatible Mi-Light / MiBoxer 2.4GHz series remote.

Ensure the controller is powered on.
On the controller, press the 'SET' button once to activate linking mode. The indicator light will flash.
Within 3 seconds of activating linking mode, perform the linking action on your remote control (refer to your remote's specific instructions, typically pressing a 'Link' or 'ON' button for a zone).
Successful linking is indicated by the controller's light flashing or changing color.

5. Maintenance

The MiBOXER E3-RF LED Controller requires minimal maintenance. To ensure optimal performance and longevity:

Keep the device clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
Avoid exposing the controller to excessive moisture, direct sunlight, or extreme temperatures.
Do not attempt to open or repair the device yourself, as this may void the warranty and cause damage.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your E3-RF LED Controller, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

No Power/Lights Not Turning On:
- Check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and correctly polarized (V+ to V+, V- to V-).
- Verify that the power supply is providing the correct voltage (DC12V~24V) and sufficient current for your LED strip.
- Ensure the power outlet is functional.
Remote Control Not Responding:
- Confirm the controller is properly linked with the remote control (refer to Section 4.1).
- Check the batteries in your remote control and replace if necessary.
- Ensure there are no significant obstructions between the remote and the controller that could interfere with the 2.4GHz signal.
Incorrect Colors/Modes:
- Verify that the LED strip wires are connected to the correct output terminals (R, G, B, W, CW, WW).
- Ensure the controller's output mode is correctly set for your LED strip type (RGB, RGBW, or RGB+CCT) by pressing the 'SET' button continuously.
Flickering Lights:
- Ensure the power supply is stable and provides enough power for the entire length of your LED strip.
- Check for loose connections.

If the issue persists after following these steps, please contact customer support.
