Digital Switching of LED Lights Explained
Most LED lights dim on the negative wire. There is a technical reason for this ins LED design. This means: 6 Channels on STAR-Light are NEGATIVE WIRE CONNECTED CHANNELS These are Channels 1, 2 and then 7, 8, 9, 10 For these Channels the positive wire connects to the Wago block that is fed by a RED Positive wire. This wire is fused with the 20A breaker on the front of the case. Example: Dimmable canopy LED in dual colour (may have 1 or 2 positive wires and 2 negative wires: Connect the positive wires to the Positive Wago block at the top of the back of the case. Connect the negative wires to two adjacent channels using the one to one wagos sitting in the duct at the top of the case inside. Select 7&8 or 9&10 or 1&2.
For a single colour LED, use just one channel.
Example: Dimmable canopoy LED in dual colour (may have 1 or 2 positive wires and 2 negative wires: Connect the negative wires to the Negative Wago block at the top of the back of the case. Connect the positive wires to two adjacent channels using the one to one Wagos sitting in the duct at the top of the case inside. Select 3&4 or 5&6. For a single colour LED, use just one channel. Note in the Configuration using the Smartphone App, the default for the positive channels is “no dimming”. If you are dimming, change this section using the App. But if LED switches on positive then: 4 Channels on STAR-Light are POSITIVE WIRE CONNECTED CHANNELS These are channels 3, 4, 5, 6 For these Channels, the negative wire connects to the Wago block that is fed by a Black negative wire. This wire is fused with the 20A breaker on the front of the case.
To set up the unit, it needs to be powered with a voltage higher than 12V. Make sure that RGBW light connected in the right order.
STAR-Light V2.0: Operating Modes and Setup
Section 1: Wiring I\nstruction
Power Setup When connecting +12VDC to your STAR-Light, there are two critical considerations to ensure proper operation: Polarity:
Red (Positive) cable: Must be connected to the right terminal. Black (Negative) cable: Must be connected to the left terminal. Cable Size:
The recommended cable size is 6 mm² to ensure safe and efficient power delivery. 2. Use either the Canbus keypad or StarSwitch Btn to control the chosen channel. 3. If applicable, adjust settings with StarTouch by rotating the encoder to the right option. 4. Hold down buttons 4 and 3 for more than 5 seconds to go to normal mode. Channel Setup T he STAR-Light system supports up to twelve (12) individual channels, each of which offers distinct features and configuration options. After selecting the desired channel, you can assign a custom label through the system’s web-based interface. In addition, when configuring the switch settings, you may specify whether the channel operates in a positive or negative switching mode. This selection can be made directly within the web-based configu- ration tool, as illustrated below:
Channels 1–12, polarity settings and Channel designation.
Channels 1–4 and 9–12 are dimmable and support both positive and negative switching.
Channels 5-8 are non-dimmable and support both positive and negative switching.
Channel Details
Dimmable Channels: Channels 1-4 and 9-10 are dimmable. These channels can be configured for either negative switching or positive switching, based on your application requirements. Able to control RGBW from these channels
Non-Dimmable Channels: Channels 5-8 are non-dimmable. These channels can also be configured for negative switching or positive switching.
RGBW Wiring Configuration: When wiring your RGBW light, it is crucial to match the correct wire colours to the corresponding ports to ensure full functionality of the colour selection feature provided in the RGB wiring setup. Ensure the wiring follows the specified configuration to avoid issues with the functionality of the RGBW light and its colour selection features. Channels 1–4 and 9–12: Fully support RGBW functionality, including colour selection and dimming features. Channels 5–8: While these channels can connect to an RGBW light, they do not support the dimming feature, which limits the colour selection functionality.
Wiring Setup The following wiring configuration should be used: Channel 1: Red Channel 2: Green
Channel 3: Blue Channel 4: White Channel 9: Red Channel 10: Green Channel 11: Blue Channel 12: White
Section 2: Initial Setup Instructions Follow these steps to set up your STAR-Light device for the first time:
Connect to the Device: Go to the Wi-Fi settings on your device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, or laptop). Look for a Wi-Fi network named STAR-Light Device.

THE 3 MOST COMMON CALLS ARE: 1. Flattened our batteries - use solar to recover to minimum voltage. Only use 240V AC power after reaching minimum voltage. 2. AC Inverter/Charger will not charge. Usually because the AC In line has an earth fault on the supply side and Safiery systems will not charge unless there is a properly connected earth AND the Active power in is wired correctly at the power supply. Common on farm stays. 3. Inverter not working. Usually because it is switched to "Charge Only" and it will not operate as inverter. Simply switch to "on" position.
