TRIKLITS instructions

The control box has two buttons, the PATTERN button marked with a right pointing arrow (>) and a VARIATION button marked with a plus sign (+).

Power On/Off

If the PATTERN button is held down a few seconds the power is turned off and the selected pattern in saved in memory. Hitting either button turns the power back on and resumes the last saved pattern.

Pressing the PATTERN button selects the next pattern from the list below. The VARIATION button selects variations of the pattern, such as speed, color or brightness. You can hold this button down to step through the variations.

receive           -                    sets lights to receive mode for chaining to other strings

Receive mode

Receive mode is used when synchronizing multiple light strings, or when controlling the strings via the external interface. Step through the PATTERNs until you see the first three lights on the string lit up as RED, GREEN, and BLUE. This is the receive mode. To set the lights so they come up in this mode if they lose power, HOLD down the PATTERN button until all the lights go off. Now this mode is saved in memory. Now press the PATTERN button just ONCE more, this turns the light string back on in receive mode, but the lights will all be off until they receive a command from the interface.
