Cut your LED strips and wires into their

desired lengths and connect them to-

gether and to the DC sockets supplied

with ILLUMINATOR.

• LEDstripshavespecialplaceswhere

you can cut the strip, usually they are

copper pads like in the photo below.

It’s important to cut the strip on the

middle line of these copper pads

.

• Youcansolderthewireeitherdirectly

to the copper pads or using ashort

wire that is often soldered to one or

both ends of the LED strip by the fac-

tory. Before soldering to the copper

padsyouneedremovethesiliconlayer

(ifpresent)coveringthepadsusing

asharp knife.

• Beawareofpolarity!Theplusand

minus on the LED strips are usually

marked by +

—

signs. The plus wire on

the speaker cable is usually marked by

aspecial color or line on one of the

wires. It doesn’t really matter which

of the two wires on the cable you use

for plus and minus. What matters is

that the plus of the LED strip is

connected to the central pin on

the DC jack. But don‘t worry. If you

mix up the polarity of the strip nothing

will be damaged, the strip just won’t

lightup.Inthiscasejusttrytoreverse

the polarity.

• Theconnectionbetweenthestripand

thewireshouldbecoveredinseveral

layers of isolation/electrical tape or

heatshrinktubing.Thisservestoboth

isolatetheconnectionandtogiveit

additional mechanical strength. In case

ofexcessivestress,thisistheplace

where the wire will likely be ripped from

the strip.

The strips are ready for use when all

of them are soldered to the wires, the

wires are soldered to the DC jacks and

all connections are insulated.

Now you need to choose aproper power

supply.YoucanbuyahighqualityPSU

from us (atan additional price) or use

aPSUthatyoualreadyhave.The PSU

must be 12V and the output DC jack

needs to be center plus. To calculate

the current your LED strips will need,

use the simple formula:

PSU max current in Ais equal or

more than total length of all LED

strips in meters x 0.3.

If your LED installation is not big, a1–2A

PSUcanbeenough.

If you use amodern switching mode

—

we

don‘t know what colors and length of

strips you need as well as what length

ofcables.Eachinstallationisveryper-

sonal and we can‘t supply something

tion“.Youneedtoconnectthestrips

yourselfwhichrequiresbasicsoldering

skillsaswellassimplesolderingequip-

ment. Therefore, using ILLUMINATOR

requires some basic technical skills

and understanding.

First of all you need to buy LED strips

of desired length and color. You need

12V LED strips

.

Typically, one meter (3 feet) of aLED

strip consumes 0.2–0.35 ampere. We

recommend limiting the total length

of all LED strips connected to ILLU-

MINATOR to amaximum of 16 meters

(52 feet). Different strips connected to

differentchannelscanhavedifferent

lengths.

Secondly, you need tobuy wire for

connecting LED strips to ILLUMINATOR.

We recommend standard speaker wire

used for audio speakers

ant that the copper core is at least 0.35
