cool controls for CCT (white color-tunable) lighting on Tresco low voltage LED RGB and CCT lights. They also control the intensity (dim levels) of the lights. The digital screen on the FREEDiM Parent Controller displays the current mode and settings. The wireless Wall Controller must be positioned within 50 ft. (15m) of the Parent Controller. Note: outside interference may affect the signal between Wall Controller and Parent Controller or Child Receiver. (see Signal Interference on page 2) The Wall Controller's mounting cradle (see Figure 1) allows installation directly to drywall or to a standard wall electrical box, giving the appearance of a hardwired wall switch. Verify power to outlet box is off before installing. (see Figure 2 for installation options) The Wall Controller has a magnet to hold it within the mounting cradle or to place on any magnetic surface (i.e. refrigerator door). To remove Wall Controller from mounting cradle use the slight indents on the top and bottom edges of Controller. The mounting cradle has an index tab to orient the Wall Controller in the proper
"up" position. (see Figure 1) Trescos FREEDiM Parent Controllers and Child Receivers can be used with any Class 2, 12VDC/60W or 24VDC/96W Power Supply. As an option, Tresco Power Supplies are available: (see Power Supplies on Figure 3 & 4) For more Power Supply options, see Tresco Specifications Catalog. 12VDC/60W max. part no.: L-DC-SLELT60-1, and 24VDC/96W max. part no.: L-24DCELT96-1 Installing Parent Controller:
NOTE: All wiring must follow local codes and NEC regulations. 1. Verify power is turned off to light system. Connect Parent Controller input wire to 12VDC or 24VDC Power Supply output wire (see Figures 3 & 4). 2. If using Tresco Power Supplies, connect Parent Controller input wire to 12VDC Mounting Block or 24VDC 5-Output Barrel Splice (see Figures 3 & 4). Otherwise follow installation guide of power supply used. To use multiple Parent Controllers or Child Receivers on one Power Supply, the optional 12VDC Mounting Block (P/N: L-TRANS-MNT-BL) can accept 6 Parent Controllers and/or Child Receivers. The optional 24VDC 5-Output Barrel Splice
(P/N: L-1BRL5-1) can accept 5 Parent Controllers and/or Child Receivers. Use insulated staples or plastic ties to secure ALL loose cords. 3. With RGB or CCT light(s) connected to a starter cord, plug the starter cord into the Parent Controller or Child Receiver(s) 4-Position Amp Output Connector. Child Receivers must be used with Parent Controller. To connect multiple RGB or CCT light(s) to a single Parent Controller or Child Receiver use the optional 4-Position 6-Output Adaptor Cord (P/N: L-4P6O-1). Plug the input wire of the Adaptor Cord to the 4-Position Amp Connector on the output of the Parent Controller or Child Receiver. Then plug the desired RGB or CCT light(s) starter cords into any of the 6 outputs of the Adaptor Cord. The 4-Position 6-Output Adaptor Cord works with 12VDC/5A and 24VDC/4A systems as well as RGB and Color Tunable White Lights. 4. Check all connections and turn on power to the Power Supply. 5. Check the mode on the Parent Controller and select either RGB or CCT mode depending on the LED light system installed. NOTE: See separate instruction sheets for further information on Tresco low voltage LED RGB and CCT lights, FREEDiM Parent Controllers and Child Receivers, and Tresco Power Supplies. See page 2 for further instructions. Accessories (sold separately): Extension and Link Cords, additional Parent Controllers, Child Receivers, Wall Controllers, 12V Mounting Blocks, 24V 5-Output Barrel Splices, 4-Position 6-Output Adaptor Cords.

NOTE: Each Wall Controller will only pair with ONE Parent Controller. Wall Controllers do not pair with Child Receivers. 1. Remove the Wall Controller from the Mounting Cradle (Figure 1 on page 1). Remove the clear plastic tab to activate the battery. 2. Press once (do not hold down) the Learning Key (see Figures 3 or 4 on page 1) on the Parent Controller, then press "On" once on the Wall Controller (see Figure 5). The Parent Controller connected light should flash on/off, indicating they are paired up and programmed properly. 3. Repeat Step 2 for any additional Controllers to pair up. NOTE: Each Wall Controller can control 1 Parent Controller. Each Parent Controller can be paired with up to 10 different Child Receivers (see Figure #6). Deprogramming:
1. To deprogram, press and hold down the Learning Key on the Parent Controller until the lights flash. Wall Controller. 2. The Parent Controller is now reset and no longer paired to the To Control the Lights:

Outside interference may affect the signal between the Wall Controller and Parent Controller or Child Receiver. Typical items that might cause interference include: metal pots and pans, leaded glass, aluminum framed doors, etc. If experiencing interference, try repositioning the Parent Controller or Child Receiver in 6 (15cm) increments. This typically allows the system to function properly. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons:
Use proper Class 2, Power Supply for the lighting system e.g. 12VDC Power Supply with 12V Lights; and 24VDC Power Supply with 24V Lights. Parent Controller output 12VDC 60W 5A max or 24VDC 96W 4A max NOT intended for use in ceilings, soffits or walls. Use only in dry locations. Not for use where exposed to the weather. Do not run line voltage power supply cord through holes in walls, ceilings, floors or similar permanent structure. If required, a licensed electrician should be consulted for wiring through permanent structures. When mounting and wiring light system, follow all local electric codes and the National Electrical Code
(NEC). Disconnect electrical power before cutting light or modifying system. Save these instructions for future reference.
