Keep instrucons for later use.Get StartedLight Genie™ includes the following; Genie Receiver Board, Lighng Plugs, Power Plug, and Wireless Transmier. Combined with any light on your project, wireless radio control and lighng eects are easily commanded.Connect Lights to the Genie ReceiverBefore starng, make sure all power is o to your project and the Genie receiver is unplugged.Use the Light Genie™ plugs provided and connect with any desired LED/Bulb xture you wish to use with your project.LED’s are direconal. Please be sure the posive leg is connected to the blue wire (common wire).Simply take the lead wires from the Light Genie™ plug and leads from your lighted accessory, twist the leads together. Make sure the copper strands have a solid interlocking twist. Wrap the connecon in electrical tape for insulaon & to prevent a short circuit. Soldering may be used for a more permanent connecon.Plug the Light Genie™ Plugs into the Genie Receiver.

Each Zone has the ability to be remotely turned on or o, adjusted for brightness, and set to one of over 20 dierent lighng eects. (Fig 1.)Lighng eects to select from: Constant on, ashing, strobe eect, sequenal lighng, ickering, and more.. There are more than 20 lighng eects to choose from.

Performance may vary based on project conguraons.Some LED’s come with a resistor pre-wired. Using mulple LEDs in a series will result in dimmer lighng. To increase brightness, remove their respecve resistor(s) to make them brighter. Keep in mind, one is sll required as menoned previously.Light Genie™ surfaced mounted LED’s come with a built in resistor, but can easily be congured to operate without, so that they may be used in a series.DCC NotesLight Genie™ is DCC equipped, and does not need an addional decoder purchase.

Command Light Genie™ Wireless TransmierTime for Light Genie™ to grant your wishes. Use the 2.4ghz remote to control each of the 5 zones on a single Light Genie™. Turn each lighng output On/O, Brighten/Dim, Flash, Strobe…whatever lighng eect you can think, Light Genie can grant. Follow the chart provided in this instrucon booklet.OperaonTo turn on or o a zone, simply press the desired zone #.To control dimming/brightness of the last used zone. Press ▼ to dim the zone. Press ▲ to brighten the zone.Powering Light Genie™ Wireless Receiver & Control SetAer connecng all the desired lighted accessories to the Light Genie™ receiver, supplying power to the receiver and project lights is easy.Check to make sure all the power is o on your projectUsing the supplied Genie 2-Pin Power Plug (note larger plug size), connect the lead wires to the oponal Light Genie™ 1-amp AC Wall Adaptor (#025201); exisng DC power terminals, AC power terminals, or DCC power source. (Fig 3).Plug the terminal into the power plug port.Make sure to use proper connecon technique to avoid accidental electrical shorts from cross wiring.Mounng Light Genie™ Wireless ReceiverAer all connecons are complete. Select the desired mounng locaon for the Genie Receiver. Apply the VELCRO® strip to the at side of the board. Ax to mounng area. Use the two screws provided to secure the receiver. Be careful not to ghten the screws all the way.Power Up Light Genie™ Receiver and TransmierAer all plugs are connected, and the receiver is properly mounted. It is safe to power on the Light Genie™ receiver by connecng the power source to an outlet. All lights will turn on once the receiver is powered.Binding The Light Genie™ Receiver & TransmierThe Light Genie™ receiver and transmier must bind prior to operaon.1. Install two AAA baeries into the transmier. If baeries are already installed, remove and re-install. The LED on the transmier will begin to ash.2. Plug the 12v power supply into Light Genie to ensure power is on.3. Binding is complete when the LED light has stopped ashing (o). If binding fails, repeat the above procedure. 4. Press any of the zones (ulized). The lighng feature should turn on/o.Light Genie™ is now operaonal. The receiver and transmier will remained bonded unl the baeries are removed. If you have mulple Light Genie™ sets, repeat the above steps.Changing Light Eects and Light Rates1. Press buons ▲ and ▼ at the same me. All zones will shut o (lights will be out). This indicates you are in light eect mode.2. Press the zone # once to set its lighng eect. The zone will light up.3. Cycle through the lighng eects, by pressing the zone # repeatedly. Observe each light eect aer pressing the zone number.4. To change the light rate speed, press ▼ to slow the light rate or press ▲ increase the light rate.5. To set other zones, simply repeat step 2 and step 3.6. Once all zones are set. Press buons ▲ and ▼ at the same me. All zones will light up. This indicates you are out of light eect mode.Series Wiring InstruconsUsing Mulple LEDs/Bulbs per OutputLights may be congured individually or in a series. Most LED’s are low voltage (3v), which require a resistor to be installed with typical 12v power supplies. Depending on the LED product used for your project, there may be pre-installed resistors. If not, Light Genie™ comes with resistors to install with your LED’s.Adding resistors to an LED/3.5v Bulb, protects the lights and receiver. This will properly match the voltage for each Light Genie™ output. 12v - 14v bulbs do not require a resistor when used individually.
