1. sets the color and mode of all connected LIA s but each chooses patterns independently They work together while maintaining individuality The network connections have the same ordering options as the LEDs solder connector bare Special Software The LIA software was developed in house with an emphasis on customization Special modes patterns sequences colors and behaviors are all possible at minimal cost Please contact us for a quote User Assembly Instructions LED Connections In the picture to the right is one LED output It consists of one common connection and three color outputs All LED outputs are pinned out with the same structure Eight outputs are available any can be left unused Care must be given to connect the LED s correctly Every 4 pin RGB LED has an electrical connection for each color and a common anode or cathode Different styles of LED can be used the only requirement is that all LED s must be the same polarity common The 3 color connections can be made in any way but all LED s need to be connected the same way All red light elements must be connected to the same position across all LED outputs etc ACE Wires can be any length but less than 10 feet is best Each LED consumes mere milliamps of current so the wires can be incredibly small A 40 gauge wire smallest in the American wire gauge system can carry more than enough current Hardware Configuration Routin2. will enable the output and make the light dim in confirmation If the output has no LED you will not see any light The sequence will automatically move to the next output after a 5 second delay By not pressing the button the output will be disabled Do not press the button if there is no LED lit LED hardware or harness malfunctions may also cause an LED not to illuminate Routine 3 Color Configuration The next part of the hardware configuration routine is color configuration The device will now learn which wires are connected to which LED colors It assumes that all red LED s use the same wire on every output and so on All enabled outputs will begin cycling red green and blue in no particular order Press the button while red is being displayed the lights will dim confirming the input Now press the button on green and finally blue If the wiring is incorrect different outputs will show different colors at the same time Verify that all outputs are showing the same color Also verify that all intended outputs light up Routine 4 Final Verification At this point the configuration is complete and all that s left is verification All enabled outputs will begin morphing through a rainbow pattern This diagnostic routine allows for color comparison of all enabled outputs All outputs will glow the same color at the same time and will fade thru red orange yellow green blue purple and repeat If any output is wrong wired differe

5. e This feature allows LIA 2 to be configured for LED polarity color connections and output utilization If an LED output has no LED it can be disabled in this routine Disabling an LED output turns off the output and excludes it in pattern generation An accurate output configuration is suggested for best results To enter the configuration routine Start with power removed Hold the button and apply power Hold the button until the lights glow white 10 seconds Release the button and the hardware configuration routine starts To abort the hardware configuration routine at any time remove power If the sequence is not completed through verification it will begin again automatically the next time power is applied Automatic restart is convenient when a mistake is made or a hardware problem is found Once this routine is started it must be completed before normal operation can resume Routine 1 LED Polarity The first configuration routine determines the LED polarity The LED s will all glow the same changing between 4 different output signal configurations Two steps will show a blend of colors two will be a primary color R G or B Two will be brighter and two will be dimmer Press the button when the dim primary color is displayed Routine 2 Output Utilization This step configures which outputs are enabled Each LED output will be tested one at a time glowing white Press the button when you see an LED lit Pressing the button
