PRECAUTIONS & INSTALLATION 

REQUIREMENTS

 

IMPORTANT - READ BEFORE USE

 

 

 

 

1.

 

Never disconnect and connect lights when the controller is powered up as this may 
cause permanent damage to the lights and/or controller. 

2.

 

Do not place lights or controller in areas where there is extreme heat or cold. 

3.

 

Do not strain the cables of the lights as damage may occur to the wiring. 

4.

 

Always keep the plug cap on at the end of the light string when not used. 

5.

 

Firmly tighten all plugs, do not over tighten 

6.

 

Do not drop controller or lighting on hard surfaces 

7.

 

Do not use if there is any damage to the controller, wiring or lighting 

8.

 

Do not wash down the controller with any fluids as this may cause permanent damage. 
Use a soft moist clean rag to clean the controller and lights. 

9.

 

When placing in gardens and trees the user must take into account tree growth and 
wind factors to ensure the lights string wire is not damaged. It is also important to 
periodically inspect to ensure there is no strain on the lights. 

10.

 

Always ensure that the correct approved type of power supply is connected (12  Volt  
DC) and ensure that the power supply is rated for the number of lights connected. The 
power supply must be able to supply about 30ma per attached light. So for 100 Minleon 
RGB LED lights (0.03 amps x 100 Minleon RGB lights) you would require a 5 amp 12VDC 
power supply (Minleon additional accessory)
