5. Configuració

5.1 Instruccions de cablejat

The controller features quick-connect terminals for simplified wiring. Follow these steps for secure connections:

1. Prepareu els cables: Strip approximately 10mm of insulation from the ends of your LED strip wires and power supply wires. The suggested wire type is 0.3-2mm² (22-14AWG).
2. Connector obert: Gently open the connector lever upwards.
3. Inseriu el cable: Insert the prepared wire into the appropriate terminal. Refer to the terminal labels for correct polarity and channel assignment (V+, R, G, B, W, C, V-).
4. Connexió segura: Press the connector lever down to secure the wire. Give each wire a gentle tug to ensure it is firmly held.

5.2 Emparellament amb un concentrador ZigBee

This controller requires a compatible ZigBee hub for smart control. The pairing process typically involves:

1. Encès: Connect the controller to a suitable DC 12-48V power supply.
2. Initiate Pairing Mode: Consult your ZigBee hub's instructions to put it into pairing mode.
3. Restableix el controlador: Short press the 'Reset' button on the controller or power cycle the controller (turn off and on) to initiate pairing. The indicator light may flash to confirm pairing mode.
4. Confirmeu l'aparellament: Once successfully paired, the controller will appear in your ZigBee hub's device list.

Important Note: If you change the device function mode using the 'OPT' button, the controller may need to be re-paired with your ZigBee hub.

6. Instruccions de funcionament

6.1 Mode Selection (5-in-1 Functionality)

The controller supports five different LED strip configurations. Use the 'OPT' button to cycle through these modes:

• Short Press 'OPT': Switches the current device function. The indicator light will change color to reflect the selected mode:

6.2 Power-on Status Settings

You can configure the controller's behavior after a power interruption:

• Long Press 'OPT' (more than 5 seconds): The indicator light will flash light blue three times. This action toggles between two power-on states:

1. Remember Last State: The controller will resume its state (on/off) prior to the power failure.
2. Lights Up by Default: The controller will turn on automatically when power is restored.

6.3 Selectable PWM Frequency

Adjusting the PWM frequency can help match different power supplies and reduce audible noise (e.g., high-pitched whine) from the LED strips or power supply.

• Short Press 'Reset': Cycles through the available frequencies. The number of flashes of the indicator light corresponds to the selected frequency:

6.4 External Push Button Control

An external push button can be connected to the 'Push' terminals for basic control:

• Premsa curta: Toggles power On/Off.
• Premsa llarga: Adjusts brightness. Release and long press again to change dimming direction (increases brightness, then decreases brightness).

7. Manteniment

• Neteja: Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the controller. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Medi ambient: Keep the controller in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat or moisture.
• Connexions: Reviseu periòdicament totes les connexions dels cables per assegurar-vos que es mantinguin segures.

8. Solució De Problemes

• El controlador no respon:
  • Ensure the power supply is connected and providing the correct voltage (12-48 V CC).
  • Comproveu totes les connexions del cablejat per si hi ha fluïdesa o polaritat incorrecta.
  • Try power cycling the controller (disconnect and reconnect power).
  • If using a ZigBee hub, ensure the controller is properly paired. Re-pair if necessary.
• LED Strips Not Lighting Up or Flickering:
  • Verify that the LED strip type matches the mode selected on the controller (RGBCCT, RGBW, RGB, CCT, Dimmer).
  • Check the LED strip itself for damage or incorrect wiring.
  • Ensure the total current draw of the LED strips does not exceed the controller's maximum output (15A total, 12A per channel).
  • If flickering occurs, try adjusting the PWM frequency using the 'Reset' button.
• High-Pitched Noise:
  • This can often be resolved by changing the PWM frequency. Short press the 'Reset' button to cycle through frequencies (600Hz, 800Hz, 1000Hz, 2000Hz, 4000Hz, 8000Hz) until the noise is eliminated or reduced.
• Controller Overheating:
  • Desconnecteu immediatament l'alimentació.
  • Check if the total current draw of the connected LED strips exceeds the controller's maximum capacity (15A total).
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the controller.
  • Verify that all wire connections are secure and not causing resistance.
• Cannot Connect to Tuya Hub:
  • As stated in the safety information, Tuya Zigbee hubs may block third-party devices. This is a known compatibility issue. Consider using a different Zigbee hub (e.g., Home Assistant, Conbee) for full functionality.
