RF Remote Functions
The RF remote features a central color wheel for selecting colors, a vertical brightness slider, buttons for adjusting speed ([Speed Increase], [Speed Decrease]), a mode selection button ([Mode Select]), and four zone control buttons ([Zone 1 ON/OFF] through [Zone 4 ON/OFF]), along with a master [Master ON/OFF] button.
| Button | Functions |
|---|---|
| Master ON/OFF | A master [Master ON]/[Master OFF] control for all zone-linked RGB LEDs. Also activates the "Master" function, which allows control of all zones. |
| [Color Wheel] | Directly select color on wheel from any mode or color selection by touching the color wheel. Rotate finger around to fine tune desired color. |
| [Brightness Slider] | Brightness Touch Slider - Increase (Right Side)/Decrease (Left Side). Increases (right side) or decreases (left side) the brightness level. Changing the active mode resets the brightness level to full. |
| [Speed Increase] / [Speed Decrease] | Mode Speed - Increase ([Speed Increase])/Decrease ([Speed Decrease]). Increases ([Speed Increase])/Decreases ([Speed Decrease]) the tempo of the mode pattern currently active. |
| [Mode Select] | Modes feature different color combinations, light transitions, and patterns, with 9 distinct modes. This button initiates the Mode function and scrolls through the modes in rotating order. |
| [Zone ON]/[Zone OFF] | Allows up to four "zones" (i.e. channels) of RGB LEDs to be separately linked and controlled by the remote. Pressing one of the Zone ON ([Zone ON]) buttons activates that zone; commands will affect only lights in that zone. |
White Mode
- For all zones, press and hold the [Master ON] button, until LEDs turn white. Brightness is adjustable and master mode is active.
- For individual zones, press and hold the [Zone ON] button for the zone you want to control, until LEDs turn white. Brightness is adjustable and the last zone turned white is active.
Static Color Mode
- For all zones, press the [Master ON] button once, to activate master mode. Use the [Color Wheel] to directly select a color. Brightness is adjustable.
- For individual zones, press the [Zone ON] button once for the zone you want to control. Use the [Color Wheel] to directly select a color. Brightness is adjustable.
Controller Pairing
The LDRF-RGB-MZ features RF remote to controller device pairing to help eliminate interference from other nearby units. If you wish to control several controller devices from a single RF remote, the controllers first must be re-programmed.
The easiest and fastest way to re-program several controller devices at once is to have them share a power supply or all plug in to a single power strip. Once programmed, you can provide power as you would otherwise; sharing is only needed for the programming phase to ease the process. Re-programming can be done one device at a time also.
Pairing a remote to a controller:
- Wire all controllers to one power supply or power strip and turn the power off.
- Turn on the power supply or power strip and press the [Zone ON] button once within 3 seconds for the zone you wish to pair.
- If successful, the LED product will flash twice slowly.
- If the LED product flashes nine times quickly or not at all, repeat steps one and two.
Unpairing a remote to a controller:
- Wire the controller to a power supply or power strip and turn the power off.
- Turn on the power supply or power strip and press and hold the [Zone ON] button once within 3 seconds for the zone you wish to unpair.
- If successful, the LED product will flash nine times quickly.
- If the LED product flashes twice slowly or not at all, repeat steps one and two.
Pairing Note:
- One remote can be paired to any number of controllers.
- One controller can be paired to up to four remotes.
General Description
The LDRF-RGB-MZ is a three-channel RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) LED controller with a color touchwheel for directly selecting a wide range of colors. It can control up to four separate "zones" of RGB lights, linked and controlled by one wireless remote. It offers 9 dynamic modes with adjustable brightness, speed, and mode retention (the controller resumes modes with the settings previously selected).
Instructions
Pre-test & Configure
- May be used with RGB strips, bars, modules, or other LED products.
- Connect LEDs to power supply and controller (refer to wiring diagram).
- Turn on LEDs using the included remote controller to ensure proper operation of the LEDs, power supply, controller, and remote.
- Choose a suitable dry location for the power supply and controller. Before using the double-sided tape on the controller, ensure all surfaces are clean and dry.
Wiring
The wiring diagram illustrates connecting the RGB LED flexible light strip to the controller's RGB, G, B, and V+ terminals. The controller is powered by a 12V or 24V DC power supply, connected to the controller's power input. An optional CPS power supply connection is also shown. A note indicates that the CPS terminal and screw terminals should not be used simultaneously.
Diagram Description:
The diagram shows a power source (either wired or CPS) connected to the controller. The controller has terminals labeled 'Power', 'RGB', 'G', 'B', and 'V+'. These are connected to a flexible RGB LED light strip which has corresponding connections.

Safety
- DO NOT connect controller or LEDs directly to 120V AC power. This controller requires a 12V or 24V DC power supply.
- DO NOT exceed max load of 18 Amps; overloading the controller may cause overheating, shorting, and possibly failure of the controller.
- Be sure the power supply is not plugged into an outlet before connecting or disconnecting any of the system's components.
- DO NOT expose the controller or remote strip to direct or indirect moisture.
- Always observe proper polarity when connecting power and load.
