Read the complete manual before carrying out the installation and activating the system. Keep
the manual for future reference.
1. DESCRIPTION
The RGB(W) controller RF is designed to control 12 to 36 Vdc LED strips (common anode). Depending on
the voltage of the LED strip, the controller has a maximum capacity of 50 to 150 W per channel. For 12 Vdc
LED strips, the capacity is 50 W per channel, for 24 Vdc LED strips it is 100 W and for 36 Vdc LED strips
it is 150 W.
The controller automatically recognises which LED strips – RGB, RGBW or tunable white – you have
connected. For automatic detection, the LED strip must be a minimum of 30 cm long.
An RGB(W) controller RF can be operated by a maximum of ten wireless RGB(W) wall controls
(1XX-90001). If you add more than ten RGB(W) wall controls to the installation, the first wall control (in the
sequence in which you programmed them) will be erased from the controller.
Each RGB(W) wall control can operate a maximum of five RGB(W) controllers RF simultaneously. In this
case, you must set the controllers in a master-slave configuration. You connect a maximum of one master
and four slaves to one single wall control.
The product is part of a radio frequency (RF) system, a wireless installation technique between the push
buttons (control points) and the controller(s) to be operated. The remote or wireless control operates
on the basis of signal transmission via radio waves at a frequency of 868 MHz. Only products that do
not continuously transmit are permitted at this frequency. The wireless system is excellently suited to
specific applications, such as the renovation of classified interiors and the expansion of existing electrical
installations (where drilling or channelling is difficult or impossible).
The operation of devices with an infrared remote control, such as a TV or video and audio devices,
is not disrupted by the RGB(W) wall control. Under optimum conditions the indoor detection range is
approximately 25 m. The transmission range of the RGB(W) wall control depends on the materials used in
the residence. Figure 1 shows the quality loss of the transmission range depending on the materials used.
Caution: The signals on this wireless device may be disrupted affecting its operation. Therefore the device
should never be placed in the vicinity of other wireless systems and both the functionality and the range of
the wall control and controller(s) should be tested before fixing.
2. INSTALLATION
If several RGB(W) controllers RF are being installed, you perform the installation per controller.
You must use a power supply whose voltage and capacity are appropriate for the LED strip that is
connected.
2.1. Mounting
The RGB(W) controller RF is suitable for mounting in false ceilings, furniture, roll-down shutter cabinets ...
You mount the controller in openings with a minimum drill diameter of 55 mm and a flush-mounting depth
of at least 100 mm (fig. 2).
The top of the RGB(W) controller RF is equipped with a mounting eye (diameter: 4.5 mm) for wall mounting.
Attention:
• To avoid overheating and possible interference of the RF signal, never place the RGB(W) controller RF
right next to its power supply.
• Never cover the RGB(W) controller
• Surfaces made of metal or heavily reinforced concrete may interfere with the signal.
• Install a maximum of ten wall controls and controllers per building.
Tips:
• Test the operation and reach of the wall controls and/or controllers in their intended positions before
fixing.
• Respect the minimum and maximum clearance distances around the RGB(W) controller RF (fig. 3).
The minimum distance between two controllers should be 50 cm and the maximum 25 m.
• Place the wall control and controller as close together as possible (while also respecting the required
minimum distance of 50 cm between them).
• For a proper operation of the RGB(W) controller RF, optimal cooling is required (fig. 4).
2.2. Connection
Refer to figure 5 for the connection of the RGB(W) controller RF.
Use wires with a diameter of 1.5 mm² and 2.5 mm² for the connection.
Attention: Always respect the sequence of the colours on the RGB(W) controller RF when connecting the
RGB LED strips:
• red on the R connection terminal
• green on the G connection terminal
• blue on the B connection terminal
• common on the C connection terminal.
In case of LED strips with tunable white LEDs, you connect the cold white LEDs to the CW connection
terminal and the warm white LEDs to the WW connection terminal.
Attention: If you connect more than 5 m of LED strips to the RGB(W) controller RF, you must connect the
common to the + connection terminal on the primary side (fig. 6).
Tip: Operation of the RGB(W) controller RF is optimised when the greatest possible capacity per channel is
used, limiting the number of controllers.

3. PROGRAMMING
Refer to the manual of the wireless RGB(W) wall control for the programming of the RGB(W) controller RF.
If several RGB(W) controllers RF are being installed, you perform the programming per controller.
When utilising a master-slave configuration, you must program the most centrally located controller as
the master. In order to allow the LED strips to be synchronised in the same set-up, synchronisation takes
place each time during the colour red. Should the LED strips deviate slightly following a full colour loop this
synchronisation is barely visible. The chance of this becoming more visible increases when:
• there are more slaves connected
• the loop runs more slowly
• the signal is weaker (meaning that the moment of synchronisation is missed out).

6. WARNINGS REGARDING INSTALLATION
• The installation should be carried out by a registered installer and in compliance with the statutory regulations.
• This user manual should be presented to the user. It should be included in the electrical installation file, and
it should be passed on to any new owners. Additional copies are available on the Niko website or via the Niko
support service.
• During installation, the following should be taken into account (non-exhaustive list):
- the statutory laws, standards and regulations.
- the technology currently available at the time of installation.
- this user manual, which only states general regulations and should therefore be read within the scope of
each specific installation.
