Five-Wire Connection

Connect the controller and panel in one clear order.

Two compatible cable orientation versions are supplied across our kits. Image 01 shows the standard version used with most kits; Image 02 shows the alternate version supplied with a smaller number of cable sets.

Keep power disconnected while completing all low-voltage wiring.
Most kits use the cable orientation shown in Image 01.
At the controller, connect the first four wires from left to right to CH4, CH3, CH2, and CH1.
Connect the fifth wire to the controller terminal that is sixth from the left.
Connect the other end to the keyed panel connector, then check every connection before applying power.
If the lighting response differs from the expected result, turn power off and follow the alternate orientation shown in Image 02.

Standard five-wire controller connection with labeled output terminals — **01 Standard cable orientation**Used with most kits. Connect the five wires from left to right: CH4, CH3, CH2, then CH1, followed by the sixth terminal from the left.

Alternate five-wire controller connection orientation — **02 Alternate cable orientation**Supplied with a smaller number of cable sets. For this cable version, follow the orientation shown while keeping the same terminal order.

Additional starlight panels connected together — **03 Connect additional panels**Use the remaining keyed panel connector to link the next panel, then check all connections before applying power.
