Does anyone have a correct wiring diagram and setup instructions? I can't get this to work with a 10 meter 24V light strip, using the static modes.

My experience is that the DIP SWITCHES are upside down. Try reversing what you are doing.

The Instructions are a little confusing, I had to just go by what each wire does: I used Conventional Diagram! I also Double checked connections On the internet utilizing how my old one was connected & tagged the wires with the corresponding letters shown on the wiring diagram? I don't know if I have confused you more O actually helped you? Good Luck! =O)

First, you will need to look at the wattage of each of the strips (the 24 inch are 8 watts). That's a fairly long distance and you will want a power supply at least 1 1/2 times the total wattage you'll need. I have 6 24-in strips in a row and find the ones on the end are not as bright as the ones closest to the power supply. You may want to consider putting the power supply in the middle of the string if possible and use a "Y" connector to split the power both directions to shorten the total distance.

Negative, yet there is an input receptacle with NO SPECS as to polarity and voltage needed, as well a missing current spec needed when multiple items are connected. Closer inspection of item shows no specs ON the item either, but it appears that an area below the receptacle has been sanded off, as if the specs were removed, as was the model info. Weird.. Inspection was done with lighted magnifier I used at NASA to inspect pins. sort of like owning a 7-stall barn that will only hold 4 horses at best ;-)

The L, N and GROUND are for the AC Input. The WHITE wire from the strip goes to the +12 V screw on the Power supply. If you hook the Blue wire to COM, the BLUE LEDs will light. If you hook the Green wire to COM, the GREEN LEDs will light and the same for the RED wire/RED LEDs. If you hook Blue, Green and Red all up to COM at the same time you will get WHITE. There should have been a small white controller box and a remote control. The strip hooks to the controller and then the +12v and COM from the power supply hook to the power connector on the controller. Then with the remote you can select the color and pattern you want the strip to use. The L, N and GROUND are for the AC Input.

Donna,FYI - I bought and installed this exact system with no difficulty. Your comment/question is too vague to answer. To recap the usual installation: the red dimmer wire must connect to the "+" side of the LED strip, and the black wire must connect to the "-" side. This is mandatory or else the LED's won't turn on. The dimmer is then plugged into the transformer, and naturally the transformer must be plugged into an active 120 volt outlet. Also, double check that you have good connections at the LED strip. If this doesn't help you, please explain in more detail how you have your system set up. I'd be happy to help you.Doobster Donna,FYI - I bought and installed this exact system with no difficulty.

ok i had the same problem after i installed the forth light to the back because i had only three lights installed (front and both sides)...the wires are thin so u have to be really careful when wrapping the cords.. plug them out then plug back in and see. right now only the blue works perfectly but i notice wen i shake the wires all the colors works.

My light just had brown (brown/red) and blue. I used brown/red for positive (red) and blue for negative (closest to black of options provided). It works. I didn't have yellow w/green stripe. Green is usually a ground, but don't know why there would be one on a 12v DC device.

There is a diagram of the wiring schematic on the first review on amazon. I'm wiring tomorrow and can update you

Cut the cable... install a new one. Get any adapter with input of 120v, the output can be 24v and even less. its easier the 120v to 12v... it will work, but maybe the light won't be so shinny. Check old adapters of any printer... they will work. Remember to cut the cables, join them and then cover them in black electric tape.

The strip light requires an LED driver with 110 V in and 12 V out, which is purchased separately. That's the best I can tell you.

This is just an LED strip with a +/- lead on it. You should probably wire through a fused circuit that gets power when you want it to. Some 12V accessories have power all of the time, some with key, etc... I have mine wired through the interior lights circuit so they come on with them. I made sure it was a fused circuit because I had one of these short out and melt wires.

This was a failed project for me, one of my 2 controllers died, There were times one of 2 lights worked. I might have my controller on one side of my 220 line and the sockets on the other side. What I can tell you is that manually turning the lights on with the switch in the garage, they don't come on. I think "Francois" has answered the question for us. If I saw his thoughtful answer before I started to respond, I might not have replied. Thank you Francois.

If at all possible try to split in 2 directions so you have 2 power supplies, supplying 30 ft each. should keep the intensity bright. I used 2 strips off one power supply and had a great affect, only I did not tie them end to end as you would need to do, but the lights were very bright and worked very well with one power supply. hope this helps, good luck.

First response I think of is whether there is adequate signal and if the lights light up quicker if you move the antenna to a different direction?Next thing I think of is a loose connection from the side mounted switch to the antenna power line at the antenna itself?It is good to test the connection before sealing it all up, but I really don't want to go there!Good luck!
