Armacost Lighting RGB14REM Quick Start Manual

Wireless Touchpad for 30 Color RGB LED Controller
Model # RGB14REM
The Armacost Lighting Wireless Touchpad
is for use only with Armacost Lighting's
professional grade 30 Color RGB LED
Controller (Model RGB8KEY-RF-WR) and
30 Color RGB Slimline Controller with Hand
Held Remote (HHRGB14). It provides remote
control of low voltage RGB LED lighting and
works through walls and doors up to 100 ft.
away. Using radio frequency (RF) technology,
it eliminates the need to run wires from the
RGB LED lighting to the wireless touchpad
and is useful in projects where installing new
cabling can be diffi cult.
Features RF pairing technology for
■
expandability and multi-zone lighting
control. The wireless touchpad can
be paired to control and synchronize
multiple Armacost Lighting RGB controller receivers in the same
area, or multiple touchpad/receiver sets can control different zones
of lighting in the same area without cross interference.
Includes designer-style wireless touchpad and all necessary
■
mounting screws and drywall anchors. Also includes one 12V
alkaline battery (27A).
Units are for dry location only. If used outdoors, keep in a dry
■
location. Wireless function may cease to operate properly in close-
to-freezing temperatures.
SET UP AND PAIRING
Your RGB color controller contains a radio frequency (RF) receiver that
will need to be programmed or paired to recognize the frequency code of
the wireless touchpad.
Model RGB8KEY-RF-WR
The wireless touchpad only works with Armacost Lighting's
30 Color RGB LED controllers, models RGB8KEY-RF-WR and HHRGB14.
Be sure the battery in the transmitter is strong. In a darkened room, you
should see a visible red LED light glowing through the front touchpad
when you press any function key. If this glow is diminished or not visible,
replace battery with a 12V 27A alkaline battery.
1. Following the instructions that came with your color controller,
connect the RGB color controller receiver to your power supply and
RGB LED lights. Be sure your power supply is turned on. The red
power indicator light will illuminate on model RGB8KEY. Model
HHRGB14 does not have a power indicator light. Turn your LED
lighting on and select any a static color using the mode key on the
receiver. Model HHRGB14 will already be on a static color or use
the hand held remote that was supplied with the unit.
2. Shut off power to the receiver unit by unplugging the power
supply – do not use the power OFF key on model RGB8KEY.
Wait at least 5 seconds.
For model RGB8KEY-RF-WR the green signal
light on the receiver will fl ash once to confi rm
successful pairing. For model HHRGB14, the LED
tape light will quickly fl ash once when paired.
Common Code Pairing
It is possible to pair multiple receivers to the same
single transmitter by simply repeating the steps above with additional
receiver units.
Please note that only static colors will synchronize; color-changing
effects will not synchronize due to the various cycling speeds of each
unit. In addition, if you repeatedly press any of the touchpad keys too
fast, the RGB controllers will lose their synchronization.
To re-synchronize, press the reset key on the touchpad
transmitter. All receivers and RGB LED lighting will reset to
the same warm white color. For effective synchronization, all
receivers must be within range of the single wireless touchpad.
Each transmitter has a unique code that can be programmed or sent
to additional receiver units so that all receivers now have the same
transmitter code in common.
