• Clean the device components that are accessible from the outside regularly.
The cleaning frequency depends on the operating environment: damp, smoky
or particularly dirty environments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on
the device components. Clean with a dry soft cloth.
Stubborn dirt can be removed with a slightly dampened cloth.
Never use solvents or alcohol for cleaning.
• Establish all connections when the unit is switched off.
Use the shortest possible high-quality cables for all connections.
Make sure that cables cannot cause a trip hazard.
• Never touch the plug contacts with sharp or metal objects.
• Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and are not
within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard!
• Ensure that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. screws, connectors or
the like) from the unit. They could swallow the pieces and choke!
• Never let children unattended use electrical devices.
DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD DEVICE
Dispose of this device through an approved waste disposal rm or through
your local waste facility. When discarding the device, comply with the rules
and regulations that apply in your country. If in doubt, consult your local waste

WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL USING MR.DIMMER
Mr. Dimmer is primary intended to be used with 24V Constant Voltage analog RGB
or RGBW LED strips with common Anode (+), although you can use it for any kind
of analog CV LED lights. In the text below we always use “LED strips” (not analog
LED lights).
High quality 320 W 24V DC power supply is an inner part of Mr. Dimmer. You can
typically use Mr. Dimmer to control and power about 50 meters of analog RGB
LED Strips with 30LED/m or about 25 meters of analog RGB LED Strips with
60LED/m . Please note that the maximum current per each channel is 5A and
total maximum current is 13A per whole Mr. Dimmer controller.
Mr. Dimmer is ideal solution for fast set-up time especially in rental where unit
needs to be connected fast and in professional way.
