GB LED Controller and
Wireless Remote Control
Please read these operating instructions carefully prior to in-
stallation and keep them for later reference.
1 Applications
The LED controller CU-40R is used for controlling RGB or
RGBW LED strips. It is operated by wireless control (868 MHz)
via the remote control CU-40T. Ten control zones are avail-
able. Multiple controllers can be assigned to the zones as de-
sired. Thus, all controllers can be controlled via a single re-
mote control, either separately or in groups. A wall holder is
supplied with the remote control.
1.1 Conformity and approval
Herewith, MONACOR INTERNATIONAL declare that the units
CU-40R and CU-40T are in accordance with the basic re-
quirements and the other relevant regulations of the directive
1999 / 5 / EC. The declarations of conformity are available on
request from MONACOR INTERNATIONAL. The units are
licence-free and generally approved for operation in EU and
EFTA countries.
2 Important Notes
The units (controller, remote control) correspond to all rele-
vant directives of the EU and are therefore marked with
G
The units are suitable for indoor use only. Protect them
against humidity and heat (admissible ambient temperature
range: 0 – 40 °C).
G
For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth; never use water or
chemicals.
G
If the remote control is not in use for a longer period of time,
always remove the batteries to prevent damage due to bat-
tery leakage.
G
No guarantee claims for the units and no liability for any re-
sulting personal damage or material damage will be ac-
cepted if the units are used for other purposes than origi-
nally intended, if they are not correctly connected or oper-
ated, if they are overloaded, or if they are not repaired in an
expert way.
If the units are to be put out of operation definitively,
take them to a local recycling plant for a disposal
which is not harmful to the environment.
3 Installation
Install the controller at a suitable place. Unscrew the covers of
the terminals.
If the jumper (1) is set on both pins, the controller will operate
in 3-channel mode (RGB). If it is set on one pin only, it will op-
erate in 4-channel mode (RGBW).

CU-40T
Connect the controller according to the figure below:
– To connect an LED strip to the terminals OUTPUT, proceed
as follows:
RED - = negative pole, red
GREEN - = negative pole, green
BLUE - = negative pole, blue
WHITE - = negative pole, white (RGBW mode)
Connect the positive pole of the LED strip to a terminal +.
Attention:
The load at each colour output must not exceed 5 A.
– Connect a regulated power supply unit to the terminals
INPUT. Set the power supply unit to the operating voltage of
the LEDs connected (12 V min., 36 V max.). The power
supply unit must be able to supply the current required for
operating the LEDs plus a supply current of 80 mA for the
controller.
Replace the covers.
For power supply of the remote control, open the battery com-
partment on the rear and insert three 1.5 V batteries of size
AAA with the positive and negative poles as indicated in the
compartment.
Never put discharged batteries in the household
waste; always take them to a special waste disposal,
e. g. collection container at your retailer.

4 Assigning the Controller to a Control Zone
For operation, assign the controller to a zone button (11) on
the remote control. When up to 10 controllers CU-40R are
used, each controller may be assigned to a different zone and
thus be controlled separately. However, it is also possible to
assign multiple controllers to the same zone and to control
them together.
Perform the following operating steps in rapid succession:
1) If the power LED (4) of the remote control does not light up,
press the button (9) to activate the remote control
( note in chapter 5).
2) On the controller, briefly press the button LEARNING KEY
(3). The STATUS LED (2) will light up.
3) Briefly press the zone button (11) to select the zone to
which the controller is to be assigned.
4) Touch the colour ring (5). To confirm the assignment, the
STATUS LED will flash a few times before it is extinguished.
Important: To synchronize the change of colour for a group
of controllers, define one of the controllers of the group as
a master (see chapter 5.3). To define a controller as a mas-
ter, press one of the buttons S- / S+ (8) or B- / B+ (10) instead
of the colour ring when you assign the zone.
To cancel the assignment for a controller, keep the button
LEARNING KEY pressed until the STATUS LED is extin-
guished. Now the controller may be assigned to a different
zone.

5 Operation
Note: The remote control is ready for operation when the
power LED (4) lights up. If the remote control is not operated
for approx. 10 seconds, it will go on standby and the LED will
be extinguished. To activate the remote control, press the but-
ton (9). If the LED briefly lights up every second while the re-
mote control is on standby, the batteries are almost dis-
charged and must be replaced.
5.1 Switching on / off / Selecting a zone
To switch on or off all LEDs, press the button
switching off, it may be necessary to activate the remote con-
trol: Press the button ( note above).
To control the LEDs of a zone, select the desired zone with
the corresponding zone button (11). To jointly control multiple
zones, press the corresponding zone buttons one after an-
other.
To switch off the LEDs of a zone, keep the corresponding
zone button pressed. To switch them on again, keep the same
button pressed again.
5.2 Setting a static colour
Touch the colour ring (5) or slide your finger along the ring.
For fine adjustment of the shade, the colours red, green and
blue can be dimmed separately: Keep the corresponding
colour button (6) pressed until the LED above the button lights
up. Then slide your finger along the ring to set the brightness
of the colour: counterclockwise to reduce the brightness,
clockwise to increase the brightness. To deactivate the dim-
ming mode after setting the colour, keep the colour button
pressed until its LED is extinguished. (The dimming mode will
also be deactivated when the remote control goes on
standby.)
To directly select the four colour channels red, green, blue and
white (RGBW mode) or to switch them off, briefly press the
corresponding colour button (6). For dimming a colour chan-
nel, proceed as described above.
If you keep the button (9) pressed, the RGB LEDs will pro-
duce white light.
5.3 Change of colour mode
Ten programs are available. To select them, press the button
M (7) repeatedly: 1st press of the button: start of program 1;
2 nd press: stop of program 1; 3 rd press: start of program 2;
4 th press: stop of program 2 etc. When program 10 has been
stopped and the button is pressed again, the LEDs will be
switched off. To restart program 1, press the button M. To re-

duce or increase the program speed in 16 steps, press the
button S- or S+ (8) repeatedly.
To exit the change of colour mode, touch the colour ring (5). If
you press the button M afterwards, program 1 will restart.
Synchronizing multiple controllers
When multiple controllers have been assigned to one zone, de-
fine one of them as a master ( chapter 4). This controller will
synchronize the change of colour for all controllers of this zone.
For each zone with multiple controllers, you may define a mas-
ter controller. In this case, make sure not to use the same pro-
(9). Before
gram in different zones at the same time.
The synchronization will extend over multiple zones when
controllers of different zones use the same program. Only de-
fine one controller as a master for all controllers. In this con-
figuration, it will be possible to switch between synchronous
mode and asynchronous mode when the button M is kept
pressed for 2 seconds. In asynchronous mode, the controllers
will not change the colour at the same time but with a delay.
5.4 Setting the brightness
To reduce or increase the brightness in 8 steps (10 % min.,
100 % max.), press the button B- or B+ (10) repeatedly.
