STX-1796
STX-1796 controller is used for dynamic
color (RGB) lighting of the stairs. The backli-
ght is switched on with the subsequent steps,
depending on the motion directions: ascending or descending while changing the color of lighting.
The controller is adapted to control the RGB LED strips arranged in stair steps and possibly the
staircase handrails.
The controller has 3 different modes of light animation programs (upwards): WAVE – stairs light
up one after another, CASCADE – the light „jumps" fast from top to bottom, lighting up the steps,
ELEVATOR – three steps are lighted slowly, towards the top of the staircase. Downwards, the direc-
tion of the animation is changed suitably. You can permanently select one of the programs or set
the options to cyclically change programs.
The controller has 27 programs of color changing including 16 special programs. Most of the
programs have the ability to set additional parameters such as the rate of change of color, brightness,
saturation, etc. You can set one of the color schemes on a permanent basis or choose cyclical change
basic programs. A full description of the programs is on the following pages.
Lights can be turned on by directly pressing a button on the wall, which is connected to the
controller, or by using an additional sensor (infrared, motion, pressure, etc.), which detects when
a person steps on the stairs. When you press the button (eg at the bottom of the stairs), illumina-
tion lights up step by step from bottom to top. During the animation the color of the stairs changes
according to the selected program (scheme) RGB. After lighting up the entire staircase the light is
stable for a short period, and then lighting of the staircase goes from the lower to the upper level,
sequentially step by step.
In case when another person steps on the stairs, the controller switches on full illumination of
stairs and switches off after a set period of time.
The controller can be used for up to 23 steps. It can also control lighting of one or two handrails.
If there is no handrail, the controller can serve to turn on ceiling lights (12V).
All the parameters of the controller can be set by the user. In the original (factory) settings, the
controller is ready for lighting up 15 steps, without lighting up the railing. It can be set up for a different
number of steps, from 5 to 20. It is also possible to light up one or two rails. Other parameters can
also be changed. These include: the time interval between the lightening up of successive steps (this
influences the speed of lightening of the whole staircase), or the time after which the steps will be
faded out. If motion detectors are used, "dead" time can be set after receiving a signal from a sen-
sor, or if there is no response to one or both of the sensors, until the end of the animation program,
to prevent re-lighting the stairs while going down. It is also possible to preset a longer time to start
up the controller, so that it does not react to transient states after power is turned on. At any time,
factory settings can be restored .

  • Page 4: Installation

    Installation The controller should be installed by someone with skills in the field of electrical engineering, preferably a certified specialist. The controller must be installed with the power off! Power supply for controller and LEDs should be stabilized with an adequate current capacity depending on the amount and length of the used LED strips or 12V LED light.
  • Page 5: Led Lighting

    LED Lighting STX-1796 can control the backlight done by LED strips and 12V LED lights (not 230V!). Strips are usually mounted under the steps. Connections between lighting elements are shown on the following illustrations. Diagram: LED RGB strip connected to the controller NOTE: Arrangement of points R, G i B on the strip may vary from shown above! The diagram above shows the connection of the controller to the staircase consisting of 20 steps...
  • Page 6 The next picture shows a solution where the exit No. 20 is connected to three 12V LED lights placed on the ceiling above the stairs. The driver will be turning it on with the first step and turn off after about 2 seconds from the extinction of the last step.
  • Page 7 Control Controller inputs function on a short to ground basis.. Any mechanical button (not a switch) will activate the controller after a short press. One end of the button should be connected to the controller input, and the other should be grounded ((-) of 12V). All the above diagrams show this solution. You can also run the controller with other elements or devices, including motion sensors.

  • Page 9 Assembly diagram of motion sensors CRN-5891 connected to the controller by a set of relays STP-4811 NOTE: The knob „Time” in the sensors must be set to the minimum position! Installation of motion sen- sors in order to work properly is extremely difficult.
  • Page 10 Motion sensors for voltage 12V You can also use miniature motion sensors operating at a low voltage such as 12V. We offer a sensor with the symbol CRN-5481. Voltage of the sensor is identical to the LED supply voltage, which greatly simplifies installation of the entire system. Sensor dimensions: plate: 32.5 x 23.5 mm, the diameter of the bowl: 23mm.
  • Page 11 The diagram below shows exactly how the whole set is built with the use of 12V motion sensors. Installation diagram: 12V motion sensors connected to the controller Before mounting the sensors, please set their time of action and sensitivity to a minimum. In the case of sensors with a jumper used to select the operating mode with or without triggering, choose the position “non-repeatable trigger.”...
  • Page 12 Mezzanine case. Installation diagram shows connecting three motion sensors 12V to the controller. An optional button is not shown. Setting the motion sensors This is one of the most difficult operations — it requires patience and precision. First of all, adjust the sensitivity of the sensor in order to have it react effectively to a person entering the staircase.

Remote control Controller programs can be set remotely by the transmitter SRF-4884. For the example shown above, A button activates the animation upward, B button turns on continuous light, C button changes the programs, and D button changes options for the selected program.
  • Page 14: Adjusting The Controller

    Changing RGB programs To change the RGB program briefly press the CON (steady light) button to turn on the lights the whole staircase. Now, briefly pressing the PRG button, you can sequentially change RGB programs of the controller. The effect is visible immediately on the stairs. When changing programs will be displayed colored markers.
  • Page 15: Description Of Parameters

    the parameter takes place after a release of the button after the desired number of pulsees or just after the end of the flickering. During the flickering, if the SETUP button is not pressed, after a short time of the LED fading out, flickering of the next parameter will appear and so on until the end of the setting mode.
  • Page 16 Flickering 3 – Count of stairs to a mezzanine. The controller also can be used for a staircase with an entrance to a mezzanine. This case supports the third detector (or button) connected to the input No. 3. The controller is factory-set to no animation at the entrance to the mezzanine - turn on the whole staircase.
  • Page 17 Flickering 7 – Time interval between lighting consecutive steps. Releasing the button after the end of the flickering sets the time at the minimum, so that the speed of the staircase lighting depends on the time of steps illumination. However, if the illumination time (parameter 4) is set at a low or zero value (for example, when lamp lights are used), set the value of the experimental time interval so that the steps will light up at the right speed.
  • Page 18 Flickering 12 – Reset of the controller. You can reset the controller, or restore it to factory settings (for example, after an erroneous setting of the parameters) by pressing and holding the SET button during the twelfth flickering and releasing it immediately after the fifth slow impulse.
