9. Start-Up
Connect the 16-channel running light control according to the figures in chapter 8 (figure 2 to
figure 5). Verify the connections and ensure that the soldering points on the board do not have
any short circuits and that the board is not in contact with any conductive parts.

a) Commissioning in "RC" Mode
If you operate the running light control in a model in the "RC" mode, first switch on the
transmitter, then the receiver. Ensure that the controllers (slider, rotating controller or rocker
switch) are in the central position for switching.
Note on the control function:
If you move the controller from the central position in one direction, you will operate
the running light switch. If you move the controller from the central position in the
other direction, you will operate the 4 additional switching functions.
Connect the power supply to the 16-channel running light control.
Automatic recognition of the RC signal:
Right after switching on, the electronics verify whether or not an RC impulse is present at the
RC/GND input. If no RC impulse is present within 2 seconds of switching on of the board, the
16-channel running light control automatically switches to "stand alone" mode.
If no RC impulse is present and the RC input is not connected to earth/GND, the running light
speed may fluctuate strongly.
