Product Usage Instructions

Basic Operations and Wiring Diagram

Light Show Basic Operations:

All operations and settings are performed via the button mounted
on the board.

Operation Action
Single-click Next program
Hold down the button for less than 0.3 seconds Previous program
Double-click / Triple-click Switch between Sound Activated programs group / Light Sequencer
programs group

Wiring Diagram and Description:

The supply voltage 12VDC is connected to the terminal blocks
marked + and -. All + LED Strip / Module are connected together to
the terminal blocks marked + L, and all – LED Strip / Module to
terminals 1, 2, 3.

Warning: Outputs do NOT have protection from
short circuit or overload. Improper connection will lead to a
damaged controller.

Hardware Return to Factory Settings:

  1. Switch the power OFF.
  2. Press and hold the button.
  3. Switch the power ON. After 2-3 seconds when LEDs turn ON.
  4. Release the button and restart.

Light Show Control and Settings:

Note: When switching to Lighting mode 2, the Green channel
flashes first for 2 seconds.

In this mode, you can reduce the brightness of the green
channel. This setting sets the maximum level for the green channel
in all programs except Lighting mode 1.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How do I reset the controller to factory settings?

A: Follow the steps outlined in section 1.3 of the user
manual.

Q: Can I connect multiple LED Strips/Modules to this
controller?

A: Yes, you can connect all + LED Strip/Module together to the
terminal blocks marked + L, and all – LED Strip/Module to terminals
1, 2, 3.

Q: What is the maximum total output current of the
controller?

A: The maximum total output current is 6 A.
