Product Overview
Device Installation
- Prepare the following items:
RGBW strip(12V or 24V) x1
Stranded wire x5
Power adapter x1 - Figure 1. Terminals Description.
Include/Exclude Button - Connect the R.G.B.W. Color LED Dimmer according to Figure 2., or Figure 3. First, connect RGBW strip with output channel(R,G,B,W) Second, connect the power supply. If the device is properly connected, the RGBW strip will blink once. Note that the device must be powered by a dedicated stabilized power adapter.
- According to the Figure 4.,you can use the 18AWG copper wire and conductive connector to extend the connection of the power supply.
- In the status of the factory default (Not Paired), the red light and green light will blink by turns, eg. red, green, red, green, etc..
- Include the R.G.B.W. Color LED Dimmer into the Z-wave network, press 3 times in 2 seconds. If the device is properly included, the green light will remains on.
- Exclude the R.G.B.W. Color LED Dimmer into the Z-Wave network, press 3 times in 2 seconds. If the device is properly excluded, the green light will blink and the data will be reset to the factory default values.
- Please pull out the antenna and keep it at 90 degree to enhance the RF signals.
- Support auto inclusion: Install the device, connect with the power, and the auto inclusion function will work in about 2 minutes.
- Support remote exclusion: Through configuration setting.
Please refer to the following table.ID Size Value F0 1 byte 1
Warning!
- The RGBW Controller is suggested to operate in low voltage circuits of 12VDC or Connecting higher voltage load may result in the RGBW Controller damage.
Please refer to the following table.Current of RGBW Strip Stranded Wire High current 18 AWG Low current 22 AWG - The RGBW Controller must be powered by the same voltage as the connected light source. I.e. if controlling 12V LED strip, the module must be connected to 12V power supply. Similarly, if controlling 24V RGBW strip, the RGBW Controller must be powered by 24V voltage supply.
- The RGBW Controller must be powered by 12VDC or 24 VDC stabilized power supply with outputs load capacity matched to loadsvoltage.
- In case of connecting long RGBW/RGB/LED strips voltage drops may occur, resulting in lower light brightness further from R/G/B/W outputs. To eliminate this effect it’s recommended to connect few shorter strips in parallel connection instead of one long strip connected serially. Maximum recommended wire length, used to connect R/G/B/W outputs with a RGBW/RGB/LED strip is 5 m. Observe connected loads manufacturer recommendations towards connection wire diameter.
- For connection of IN1~IN4, it is suggested that you connect the 4 inputs individually to the same type of deivce. The devices can be as follows: the toggle switch, or the push switch.
- Please note that re-including the product will reset the data to the default values. Use this procedure only in the event that the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.
