WS2805 Pixels LED Strip Light RGBCCT User Manual

1. Introduktion

The BTF-LIGHTING WS2805 Pixels LED Strip Light is an advanced RGBCCT (Red, Green, Blue, Cold White, Warm White) 5-in-1 addressable LED strip designed for dynamic and versatile lighting applications. Featuring dual signal capabilities, this strip allows for individual control of each LED segment, enabling complex lighting effects and precise color tuning from 3000K to 6500K white light. This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your LED strip.

2. Sikkerhedsoplysninger

• Sørg for, at arbejdsvolumentage matches the strip's requirements (DC12V or DC24V). Using an incorrect voltage kan beskadige strimlen.
• Always disconnect power before installation, cutting, or maintenance.
• Do not bend the LED strip sharply, as this can damage the circuit board and LEDs.
• For IP67 rated strips, while the strip itself is waterproof, the 4-pin connectors are not. Ensure connectors are protected from moisture if used outdoors.
• IP30 and IP65 rated strips are designed for indoor use only.
• Opbevares utilgængeligt for børn.

5. Opsætning

5.1 Forudsætninger

• A compatible DC12V or DC24V power supply (depending on your LED strip variant).
• A compatible pixels LED controller (e.g., SP630E or similar WS2805 compatible controller).

Important: This light strip is not compatible with WLED/ESP32 controllers.

5.2 Installationstrin

1. Forbered overfladen: For strips with adhesive tape (IP30 and IP65), ensure the installation surface is smooth, clean, and dry.
2. Cut to Length (Optional): If custom lengths are required, cut the LED strip only at the designated cut marks. Do not bend the LED strip sharply.
   • 60 LED/M (DC12V): Can be cut every 3 LEDs (approx. 5cm).
   • 60 LED/M (DC24V): Can be cut every 6 LEDs (approx. 10cm).
   • 84 LED/M (DC24V): Can be cut every 7 LEDs (approx. 8.27cm).
3. Connect the Strip: Use the provided 4-pin connector to connect the LED strip to your pixels LED controller. Ensure the data direction arrow on the strip aligns with the controller's output.
4. Tilslut strøm: Connect the power supply to the pixels LED controller. For longer LED strip runs, it is recommended to power the strip from both ends using the 2-pin power wires to reduce voltage-dråbe og sikre ensartet lysstyrke.
5. Sikre strimlen: For IP30 and IP65 strips, peel off the backing from the adhesive tape and firmly press the strip onto the prepared surface. For IP67 strips, use appropriate mounting clips or channels (not included) to secure the strip.

6. Betjeningsvejledning

Once the LED strip is properly installed and connected to a compatible power supply and pixels LED controller, you can begin operating it. Refer to your specific pixels LED controller's manual for detailed instructions on its functions and app control.

6.1 Grundlæggende betjening

• Tænd/sluk: Use the power button or app control on your LED controller to turn the strip on or off.
• Farvevalg: Utilize the controller's interface or app to select from 16 million monochrome effects, including various RGB colors and pure white light.
• Dynamiske effekter: Explore pre-programmed dynamic effects such as multi-color chasing effects and pure white lighting effects.
• Justering af hvidt lys: Adjust the white light temperature from Warm White (3000K) to Cold White (6500K) to suit your ambiance needs.

7. Vedligeholdelse

7.1 Rengøring

To clean the LED strip, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the LEDs or the strip's coating.

7.2 Retningslinjer for vandtætning

• IP30 (Non-waterproof): Suitable for dry indoor environments only. Avoid any contact with liquids.
• IP65 (Silicone Coating): Dust prevention and water-resistant. Works indoors only. Not suitable for direct water exposure.
• IP67 (Silicone Sheathing): Dust prevention and waterproof design. Can work outdoors, but the 4-pin connectors are non-waterproof and must be protected from moisture.

7.3 Solder Joints

It is normal for the LED strip to have solder joints approximately every 0.5 meters. This is a standard manufacturing process and does not indicate a quality problem.

8. Fejlfinding

• Intet lys: Check if the power supply is connected correctly and providing the correct voltage (DC12V or DC24V). Ensure the LED controller is properly connected and powered on.
• Forkerte farver/effekter: Verify that the LED controller is compatible with WS2805 strips and that the settings in the controller's app or interface are configured correctly for RGBCCT pixels. Check the data direction of the strip.
• Dimming/Color Shift at End of Strip (Voltage Drop): For longer installations, ensure you are injecting power at both ends of the LED strip to compensate for voltage drop.
• Individual LED Segment Failure: The WS2805 features 'Break-Point Transmission', meaning if one LED segment fails, the signal will continue to the subsequent segments, preventing the entire strip from failing. However, the failed segment will not light up.
• Incompatibility with WLED/ESP32: This LED strip is explicitly not compatible with WLED/ESP32 controllers. Please use a dedicated WS2805 compatible pixels controller.

9. Brugertips

• Choosing a Controller: Since the strip requires a pixels controller, ensure the one you purchase is specifically designed for WS2805 addressable LEDs. The product video showcases an SP630E controller as an exampfilen på en kompatibel enhed.
• Forbindelser: The strip comes with a 4-pin connector. Ensure your chosen controller and any extension cables are compatible with this connector type.
• Addressable Segments: For the 12V version with 60 LEDs/meter, each IC controls 3 LEDs, meaning you can address segments of 3 LEDs. This is useful for planning your lighting effects.
