MODE OF OPERATION B (See Figure 3): 

Radio Frequency Re Controller with 120-CTRL-4CH

This mode of operation requires the use of 120-CTRL-4CH, RGB-H2-REC-RF (sold separately), and RF-RGBW-3Z (sold separately). 120-CTRL-4CH is 

rated for the following: 100-240V AC input, 4 x 1.5A output current, -20°C - 50°C operating temperature, and is designed for use with 100-240V DC 

product only.

1.  Connect wires from 100-24V DC product to the wires from 120-CTRL-4CH, being sure to match polarity as follows: Black to Black, White to 

White, Red to Red, Green to Green, and Blue to Yellow.

2. Connect the ‘DMX input’ cord from 120-CTRL-4CH to the ‘DMX output’ cord from RGB-H2-REC-RF. Tighten the screw-on connection securely. 

Each zone will require one (1) RGB-H2-REC-RF.

3.  Plug AC input power cord from RGB-H2-REC-RF and the AC input power cord from 120-CTRL-4CH into a 100-240V AC power supply. 

4. Set DMX address (Factory default DMX address is 001): Press and hold down any of the 3 buttons for over 3 seconds, digital display flashes to 

enter into address setting, then keep short pressing button A to set “hundreds” position, button B to set “tens” position, button C to set “units” 

position, then press and hold down any button for >3 seconds to confirm the setting.

5. For single zone operation, (1 or more Radio Frequency controllers controlling 1 or more sets of product synchronously), utilize address 001. For 

multiple zone operation, (multiple Radio Frequency controllers controlling multiple sets of product individually), set the addresses in multiples of 

4 (e.g. 001 - 005 - 009 - 013 - 017 - etc) with each address signifying a zone. To set DMX address, press and hold button 1 for 2 seconds until the 

digital display flashes. Use buttons 1, 2, and 3 to select address, then press and hold any button for 2 seconds to confirm. As a note, there can 

be only one dedicated address per zone; more than one 120-CTRL-4CH can share the same address and be controlled as a single zone.

6. 120-CTRL-4CH can be interconnected (DMX 512 signal limited to 700ft max run) by connecting the ‘DMX Output’ cable from first 120-CTRL-4CH 

unit to ‘DMX Input’ cable from second 120-CTRL-4CH unit; Tighten the screw on connection securely. RGB-H2-CTRL-EC15 signal linking cables 

are also available to increase distance between controllers (also sold separately). See Figure 4.

7.  To sync a Radio Frequency controller with RGB-H2-REC-RF, first ensure the Radio Frequency controller is powered on. Press the  

learning key on the first RGB-H2-REC-RF of the zone to be controlled; The red indicator light on the RGB-H2-REC-RF should flash. If applicable, 

press the chosen zone button on the Radio Frequency controller, then touch and scroll the color wheel to complete sync. Press and hold the 

“Learning Key” to clear out saved sync data when wanting to reset scenes or zones.

8. Follow the instructions for the respective Radio Frequency controller (sold separately) for specific color control information.
