2. Clean Surface: Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and smooth for optimal adhesive performance.
3. Peel and Stick: Remove the backing from the adhesive tape on the back of the LED strip and firmly press the strip onto the desired surface.
4. Secure with Clips: For added security, use the provided mounting clips and screws, especially for longer runs or uneven surfaces.

5.2 Controller Wiring

The SP530E controller supports both PWM (non-addressable) and SPI (addressable) LED strips, including combined setups. Refer to the labels on the controller for correct wiring.

• PWM LED Strips (e.g., Monochrome, CCT, RGB, RGBW, RGBCCT): Connect the corresponding wires from your LED strip to the V+, R, G, B, CW, WW terminals on the controller. Ensure polarity is correct.
• SPI LED Strips (e.g., WS2811, WS2812B): Connect the Data (DAT) wire from your SPI strip to the DAT terminal on the controller. Connect the Ground (GND) wire to the GND terminal.
• Power Connection: Connect the DC power adapter (not included) to the DC Power Jack Socket (5.5mm x 2.1mm) on the controller. Ensure the power supply is rated for 24V and has sufficient current capacity for your LED strips.

6. Operation

6.1 Control Methods

The SP530E controller offers multiple ways to manage your LED lighting:

• APP Control: Connect via 2.4GHz WiFi or Bluetooth LE5.0 using the dedicated mobile application (Banlanx APP). This allows for comprehensive control over colors, effects, brightness, and scheduling.
• 2.4G RF Remote / Smart Panel Control: Compatible with separately purchased 2.4G RF touch remotes or wall-mounted smart panels for convenient local control.
• Third-Party Voice Control: Integrate with smart home systems like Amazon Alexa or Google Home for voice-activated control (requires initial setup through the mobile app).

6.2 Mobile Application (Banlanx APP)

Download the Banlanx APP from your device's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to pair your SP530E controller via WiFi or Bluetooth.

• Dynamic Modes: Choose from various pre-programmed dynamic lighting effects.
• Solid Colors: Select any static color from a color wheel or adjust white light temperature.
• Music Effects: Synchronize lighting with music using player streaming, mobile microphone, or the controller's built-in microphone.
• DIY Effects: Create and customize your own lighting patterns and sequences.
• Timers: Set schedules for turning lights on/off or activating specific modes.
• Brightness Adjustment: Adjust the overall brightness level from 0% to 100%.
