CU-1RC
Order No. 38.5820
Controller for 12 V or 24 V LEDs
GB
Please read these operating instructions care-
fully prior to operation and keep them for later
reference.
1 Applications
The controller CU-1RC is used to control RGB
LED chains requiring an operating voltage of
12 V
or 24 V . From the product range of "img
Stage Line", for example, the following items can
be operated with the CU-1RC:
LEDL-9/RGB
LEDS-5MP/RGB
LEDM-3/RGB
LEDS-5MPL/RGB
LEDS-5/RGB
LEDS-10MP/RGB
A user-friendly wireless remote controller allows
to set the lighting colour and the brightness of
the LEDs and to activate the function for a
change of colour. The operating range is approx.
30 m.
2 Important Notes
The unit corresponds to all required directives of
the EU and is therefore marked with
G
The unit is suitable for indoor use only. Protect
it against dripping water and splash water,
high air humidity and heat (admissible ambi-
ent temperature range 0 – 40 °C).
G
For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth; never
use chemicals or water.
G
No guarantee claims for the unit and no liabil-
ity for any resulting personal damage or mate-
rial damage will be accepted if the unit is used
for other purposes than originally intended, if it
is not correctly connected or operated, if it is
overloaded or not repaired in an expert way.
If the unit is to be put out of operation
definitively, take it to a local recycling
plant for a disposal which is not harm-
ful to the environment.
Conformity and approval
2.1
Herewith, MONACOR INTERNATIONAL declare
that the wireless remote controller CU-1RC is in
accordance with the basic requirements and the
other relevant regulations of the directive
1999/5/EC. The declaration of conformity is
available on request from MONACOR INTER-
NATIONAL. The wireless remote controller is li-
cence-free and generally approved for opera-
tion in EU and EFTA countries.

3 Setting the Controller into Operation
3.1 Connecting the controller
1) Connect the LEDs to the cable OUTPUT (11).
Core colour
red
green
blue
black
The maximum load of each of the three output
channels (red, green, blue) by the LEDs must
not exceed 3 A. Overload will damage the
controller.
2) For power supply, a regulated 12 V or 24 V
power supply unit is required (according to the
operating voltage of the LEDs). The power
supply unit must be able to deliver the current
required for operating the LEDs plus a supply
current of 100 mA for the controller (e. g.
PS-200 / 12 for 12 V LEDs or PS-320 / 24 for
24 V LEDs).
Connect the power supply unit to the cable

3.2 Inserting / Replacing the batteries
To insert or replace the batteries, remove the
cover of the battery compartment on the rear
side of the remote controller. Insert two batteries
of size AAA as indicated in the battery compart-
ment. Then close the cover. After inserting the
batteries, the indicating LED (8) will light up for a
few seconds.
To prevent damage to the remote controller
due to battery leakage, always remove the bat-
teries when the remote controller is not in use for
a longer period of time.
Used batteries must not be placed in
the household waste; always take them
to a special waste disposal, e. g. col-
lection container at your retailer.
4 Operation
All settings are made via the wireless remote
controller. It is provided with touch-sensitive but-
tons. At the touch of a button, the indicating LED
(8) starts pulsing. To switch on the LEDs con-
nected, touch the button (2); to switch them off,
touch the button
