Connection and operation

The power supply must be dead during installation. Failure to do so poses the risk of

electric shock!

Install the product out of reach of children.

Never place the product on or near easily inflammable surfaces.

Never operate the product at places where flammable or explosive gases/dust are

present.

Never operate the product in the proximity of potentially explosive environments.

For fixed installation, attach the product to the surface first. You may only then connect

the wires to the screw terminals.

Observe the correct assignment of color codes during installation (R = Red, G = Green,

B = Blue).

When tightening the screws, make sure no cables or wires get damaged.

It is possible to connect several RGB LED strips in series. This depends on the design of

the RGB LED strips. Refer to the instructions of the manufacturer.

Make sure the connection wires are of sufficient size. Select the cross-section of the

connection wires according to the amount of RGB LED strips. Please note that the current

is added for each of the three colors (R, G, B). Dimension the plus wire accordingly.

Only use RGB LED strips with shared plus wire (common anode). Never connect different

RGB LED strips to the product.

Make sure the output voltage of the power supply corresponds to the operating voltage

of the RGB LED strips.

Do not short-circuit the product.

For example, you may use a power adapter with open cable ends as power supply.

1. If necessary, attach the product to a suitable, flat surface using two screws.

2. Loosen the screws that connect the two transparent covers above the screw terminals. Remove the

covers.

3. Connect the product to the power supply and RGB LED strips following the connection diagram. Make

sure all screw connections are tightened and the connection wires can not become loose.

4. Attach the covers again above the screw terminals.

5. Turn the three control knobs counterclockwise till the complete end.

6. Turn on the power supply.

7. Use the control knobs to adjust the desired brightness for each channel. The brightness is infinitely

adjustable.

When turning the control knob counterclockwise till the complete end, the respective channel will

be deactivated.

The control lamp above the screw terminals on the left lights up once the power supply is

activated. If, however, all control knobs are at complete left position, the control lamp turns off

despite the voltage being applied.

• Disconnect the product from the power supply before cleaning. Let the product cool down completely.

• Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions as they can cause
