Connection terminal
How do I connect the cables correctly to the spring-cage terminal?
Solid conductors can simply be pushed into the black cable opening with a little force
for fine-stranded conductors (untinned, no wire ferrule), the white spring contact must be pressed at the same time, e.g. with a narrow screwdriver
to release the conductor, also press the white spring contact (1) and pull out the conductor (2)
Connecting RGB LED strips
the cables for connection must meet the following technical conditions and be connected according to this description
the color channels of the LED strip must be connected to the correct channel of the FLS-M. The following circuit diagram shows the connection assignment. The following applies: GND = power supply unit ground, VIN = power supply unit operating voltage, VOUT = LED strip operating voltage
the connected type of RGB LED strip must be communicated to the FLS-M by setting the DIP switch. The DIP switch is accessible on the top of the housing. A small screwdriver can be used to set the switch
the FLS-M registers in the Matter Controller as one luminaire
Connecting RGBW LED strips
the cables for connection must meet the following technical conditions and be connected according to this description
the color channels of the LED strip must be connected to the correct channel of the FLS-M. The following circuit diagram shows the connection assignment. The following applies: GND = power supply unit ground, VIN = power supply unit operating voltage, VOUT = LED strip operating voltage
the connected type of RGBW LED strip must be communicated to the FLS-M by setting the DIP switch. The DIP switch is accessible on the top of the housing. A small screwdriver can be used to set the switch
the FLS-M registers in the Matter Controller as one luminaire
Connecting RGB+CCT LED strips
the cables for connection must meet the following technical conditions and be connected in accordance with this description
the color channels of the LED strip must be connected to the correct channel of the FLS-M. The following circuit diagram shows the connection assignment. The following applies: GND = power supply unit ground, VIN = power supply unit operating voltage, VOUT = LED strip operating voltage
the FLS-M must be informed of the connected type of RGB+CCT LED strip by setting the DIP switch. The DIP switch is accessible on the top of the housing. A small screwdriver can be used to set the switch
the FLS-M registers in the Matter Controller as one luminaire
Connecting CCT LED strips
the cables for connection must meet the following technical conditions and be connected according to this description
the white channels of the LED strip must be connected to the correct channel of the FLS-M. The following circuit diagram shows the connection assignment. The following applies: GND = power supply unit ground, VIN = power supply unit operating voltage, VOUT = LED strip operating voltage
the connected type of CCT LED strip must be communicated to the FLS-M by setting the DIP switch. The DIP switch is accessible on the top of the housing. A small screwdriver can be used to set the switch
the FLS-M registers in the Matter Controller as one luminaire
Connecting single-color LED strip
Uniform control
the cables for connection must meet the following technical conditions and be connected in accordance with this description
the LED strip can be connected to any channel of the FLS-M. The following circuit diagram shows a possible connection assignment. The following applies: GND = power supply unit ground, VIN = power supply unit operating voltage, VOUT = LED strip operating voltage
The FLS-M must be informed of the connected type of single-color LED strip by setting the DIP switch. The DIP switch is accessible on the top of the housing. A small screwdriver can be used to set the switch
the FLS-M registers in the Matter Controller as one luminaire
If several monochrome LED strips are connected, they all light up identically.
Different control
the cables for connection must meet the following technical conditions and be connected according to this description
the LED strip can be connected to any channel of the FLS-M. The following circuit diagram shows a possible connection assignment. The following applies: GND = power supply unit ground, VIN = power supply unit operating voltage, VOUT = LED strip operating voltage
The FLS-M must be informed of the connected type of single-color LED strip by setting the DIP switch. The DIP switch is accessible on the top of the housing. A small screwdriver can be used to set the switch
the FLS-M registers in the Matter Controller with five luminaires
Each monochrome LED strip can be controlled individually
Connecting individually addressable LED strips
the cables for connection must meet the following technical conditions and be connected in accordance with this description
the data line of the LED strip must be connected to the control channel of the FLS-M. The following circuit diagram shows the connection assignment. The following applies: GND = power supply unit ground, VIN = power supply unit operating voltage, VOUT = LED strip operating voltage
the FLS-M must be informed of the connected type of individually addressable LED strip by setting the DIP switch. The DIP switch is accessible on the top of the housing. A small screwdriver can be used to set the switch
the FLS-M registers in the Matter Controller as one luminaire
the connected individually addressable LED strip behaves like a classic LED strip
This configuration supports up to 900 individually addressable LEDs. Settings deviating from this must be created using the Config-Builder.
Zone setting
If more than one individual lighting zone is to be used, this must be set on a customer-specific basis. A maximum of two zones can be used.
Each zone registers in the Matter Controller as an independent controllable luminaire.
Set Customized configuration mode on the DIP switch
Open the Config-Builder and make settings
Load the file and restart FLS-M
Connecting the power supply
Connect the power supply unit with ground to GND and operating voltage VIN.
- the cables for connection must meet the following technical conditions and be connected in accordance with this description
It must be ensured that the connected LED strip is suitable for the operating voltage of the power supply unit. Otherwise the LED strip may be destroyed.
- use power supply unit with 5 V DC output for LED strips for 5 V DC
- use a power supply unit with 12 V DC output for LED strips for 12 V DC
- use power supply unit with 24 V DC output for LED strips for 24 V DC
Matter over WiFi
The power supply unit can now be switched on. After starting, the FLS-M lights up white in the factory setting. All connected color channels are 100% controlled.
- Scan the enclosed Matter installation QR code with your smartphone or tablet.
- Depending on the Matter controller and operating system used, the corresponding control app will open.
- Teach the FLS-M according to the instructions.
After programming, the FLS-M can be controlled.
The FLS-M can be taught-in to several Matter controllers at the same
time and controlled in parallel. To do this, a so-called shared
key
must be created in the respective control app (Homekit, Google
Home, HA Matter).
Factory new reset
To reset the FLS-M to the factory settings, carry out the following steps
supply the FLS-M with power
press and hold the button on the top of the housing for at least 10 seconds and release.
a red status LED on the top of the housing flashes to confirm this.
When the flashing has stopped, the FLS-M is back in the factory settings.
