Connecting Rainbow Controller
(FGBHRGBW-041-1)
!
Connecting the device in a manner inconsistent with this
manual may cause risk to health, life or material damage.
• Connect LED strip channels in accordance with the diagram 1.
• Rainbow Controller and the load connected to its output must be
powered by 12V DC or 24V DC stabilized power supply (Class 2
unit) with short circuit protection. Connecting higher voltage or
voltage not matching the load’s voltage may cause damage to the
device.
• The device is powered with secure voltage; nevertheless, the user
should be extra careful or should commission the installation to a
qualified person.
•
Do not
connect devices which are not compliant with the
specification.
• Every connected device should be compliant with the relevant
safety standards.
• Connecting long RGBW/RGB/LED strips may cause voltage drops,
resulting in lower light brightness further from R/G/B/W outputs.
To eliminate this effect it is recommended to connect a few short-
er strips in parallel connection instead of one long strip connect-
ed serially.
• The LED strip should be mounted to aluminium profile for better
heat dissipation.
• If you connect a 12V DC LED strip, you also need to use the 12V DC
power adapter. For 24V DC LED strip use 24V DC power adapter.

FIBARO Rainbow Controller (FGBHRGBW-041-1) sold
without any LED strip lights has a MOLEX 105307-1205
connector included.

We recommend connecting LED strip channels in the
same order as on the diagram 1 (B - OUT1, R - OUT2, G
- OUT3, W - OUT4). If you want to connect a RGB strip, use
the same diagram, but do not connect the OUT4 channel.
