INSTALATION INSTRUCTIONS
! IMPORTANT NOTICE !
NEVER disconnect any parts or make any change in the setup while the
installation is connected to the mains: some parts could be severely damaged!
THE SIMPLE WAY
If you only want to use the standard "plug & play" starter set, things are VERY simple: just build the elements
from this "LS-RGB-STARTER" starter kit together and connect the complete string to the mains. Installation
finished: no need to look any further!
THE SOPHISTICATED WAY
Based on the basic "LS-RGB-STARTER" set you can build a bigger system, just by adding the optionally
available accessories. For each of these accessories we give a description with possible applications:
LS-POWER-7A
The controller of the "starter set" can control strings with up to 200 LED-
bulbs, however its internal power supply only supports up to 12 LED-bulbs.
This means that you should add an extra power supply, as soon as you add
extra strings. The LS-POWER-7A power supply can deliver power for up to
116 LED-bulbs. So every 116 LED-bulbs an extra LS-POWER-7A should
be inserted in the line.
The LS-POWER-7A contains a special POWER-T, used to "inject" the extra
power into the line with strings. See the example below to learn how to
insert the LS-POWER-7A:
LS-BUFFER
While adding extra strings, the quality of the control signal
degrades. Adding buffers helps upgrading the control signal
again! Buffers should be used in the following cases:
When one or more LS-EXTENSION-3M cables are used,
you should add a buffer before the extension cable(s).
You can connect up to max. 8 extension cables together. Never connect 2 buffers to each other, there
should always be at least one LS-RGB-STRING between 2 buffers.
After every 300 LED-bulbs in a line a buffer is needed.
When 16 stings are used. Practically this means that when two LS-CURTAIN-2M cables are
connected together in one line, a buffer should be inserted before you can connect another two LS-
CURTAIN-2M cables.
Attention: between 2 buffers at least 1 string should be added. So when 4 LS-CURTAIN-2M cables
are used to make a 8M long curtain, you should add an LS-RGB-STRING between the first two and
the second two LS-CURTAIN-2M cables.

LS-RGB-STRING
One LS-RGB-STRING contains 4 LED-bulbs and measures 0,72m. You can add one or more strings in
one line until a maximum of 200 LED-bulbs is reached. Of course you should add extra LS-POWER-7A
power supplies and LS-BUFFER signal buffers where needed!
LS-CURTAIN-2M
An LS-CURTAIN-2M is a 2m long cable containing 8 T-connectors, used to create
a nice LED-curtain.
You can add one or more of these cables in one horizontal line. Theoretically you
can connect up to 50 LS-RGB-STRING cables (200 LED-bulbs) to each of these 8
T-connectors. Of course you should add extra LS-POWER-7A power supplies and
LS-BUFFER signal buffers where needed!
The picture on the right gives you an idea of such a "curtain application".
LS-EXTENSION-3M
This 3m long cable is used for bridging the distance between two elements in a
setup. For example: bridging the distance between the controller and the first
string. You can connect up to 8 extension cables together to obtain a maximum
length of 24m. Attention: while using 1 or more extension cables in a line, you
should always add a buffer before!
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Once the starter set (or complete installation) is build, simply connect
the setup to the mains. The effect starts working immediately.
The controller contains 16 programs (15 static + 1 audio controlled)
that can be selected quite easily:
Unscrew the plastic cover (3) and remove the rubber seal (4)
Use a small screwdriver to turn the program selector switch (5)
GENTLY(!!!) in both directions until the desired program is selected:
0 Music chase: 9 different color changing patterns run in music
controlled mode.
1 Slow, synchronized color fades simultaneously on all lamps.
2 Slow, multicolor changes run as a train through all lamps.
3 Slow, rainbow color changes run as a train through all lamps.
4 Slow, multicolor fades run as a train through all lamps.
5 Fast running, color changing, train of 8 lamps with "trail effect"
6 Fast running and piling train of blue light runs through the string.
7 Color changing strings of lamps grow in both directions at medium speed.
8 Lamps chase at fast speed and change colors while hitting a each other.
9 A string of lamps change colors from the center to both sides at medium speed.
A Lamps come from both sides to the center and change colors while hitting each other at fast speed.
B Strings of 8 lamps move fast in both directions while bouncing 1 lamp out.
C Color changing effect runs through the string at medium speed.
D Combined show 1: slow patterns 1,2,3 and 4 are continuously repeated.
E Combined show 2: medium & fast patterns 5,6,7,8,9,A,B and C are continuously repeated.
F Combined show 3: all 12 patterns are continuously repeated.
Put the rubber seal (4) back in place and fasten the plastic cover (3) to assure the selector is well
protected against moisture and dust.
Some general notes:
Do not switch the unit on and off in short time intervals as this reduces the lamp life.
Always unplug the unit when it is not used for a longer time or before replacing the bulb or start servicing.
In the event of serious operating problems, stop using the fixture and contact your dealer immediately.
Important: Don't use the effect in the presence of persons suffering from epilepsy.
