2. RF Remote Control (Optional, purchased separately)
The DR04W controller supports 2.4GHz RF remote controls (e.g., RC03RFB, RC04RFB, RC05RB, WR01RF). These remotes allow multi-zone control and signal synchronization.
Video: Instructions on how to pair and unpair an RF remote with the DR04W controller. It shows the steps for pairing by rapidly pressing a zone button 3 times, and unpairing by rapidly pressing it 5 times.
Pairing the RF Remote:
- Disconnect the controller from power for 10 seconds, then reconnect.
- With the LED strip light on, rapidly press any "I" zone button on the RF remote 3 times within 3 seconds.
- Successful pairing is confirmed when the LED strip slowly blinks 3 times.
Unpairing the RF Remote:
- Disconnect the controller from power for 10 seconds, then reconnect.
- With the LED strip light on, rapidly press the connected "I" zone button on the RF remote 5 times within 3 seconds.
- Successful unpairing is confirmed when the LED strip blinks rapidly 10 times.
Nota: If the light doesn't blink quickly during unpairing, the unpairing failed. Try again. Lights that are not paired will not need this process.
