10. Connection and Startup

Connection and installation of the controller may only be carried out if the
controller is separated from the power supply.
• Depending on the site of installation, the LED strip and the controller will need to be attached
and then connected by cables. Mount the LED strip such that no short circuits can occur and
that the LED strip is firmly attached.
When installing the controller you must ensure that it is placed in a well-ventilated area (do
not set in insulating material as this will pose a fire risk!). In addition, select a location which
is not accessible to children.
Pay attention when inserting the screws that no power, gas or water pipes can be damaged.
Never install the controller or the LED strip on or near to easily inflammable surfaces; also
never operate the controller and the LED strip where flammable or explosive gases/dust
occurs or close to areas where there is a risk of explosion.
• Ensure that the cables are appropriately dimensioned when connecting the LED strip to the
controller and the power supply.
The cable diameter for connecting cables is dependent on the number of LED strips
connected. Please keep in mind that the colour for the three colours (R, G, B) is additive,
ensure that the cables are dimensioned accordingly!
• Connect the LED strips (not included) with one another, make sure that the polarity is correct.
• Then connect the LED strips to the RGB clamps (see Chapter 6) and the positive terminal.
The positive terminal of the LED strip can also be directly connected to the
power supply positive lead.
Only LED strips with a common positive terminal (shared anode) may be used;
never connect different LED strips to the controller.
When connecting ensure the correct order of colours (R = red, B = blue, G =
green).
