1. Introduzzjoni
This manual provides instructions for the BTF-LIGHTING WS2814 IC RGBW LED Strip, Model HD-12V-WS2814-60L-B-IP65. This addressable LED strip features RGB and Warm White (3000K) LEDs, operating at DC12V with 60 LEDs per meter and 20 pixels per meter. It is designed for flexible lighting applications and has an IP65 rating, indicating protection against dust and low-pressure water jets.
The WS2814 IC allows for individual control of groups of 3 LEDs, enabling dynamic and customizable lighting effects. This product is an upgrade from WS2812B RGB or WS2811 RGB strips, offering enhanced pure white light capabilities and improved energy efficiency.

2. Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà
- Tiżgura l-provvista tal-enerġija voltage matches the strip's requirement (DC12V). Using incorrect voltage (e.g., DC5V or DC24V) will damage the product.
- Disconnect power before installation, cutting, or maintenance.
- Avoid bending the strip sharply or applying excessive force, which can damage the circuit board or LEDs.
- Do not submerge IP65 rated strips in water. IP65 is suitable for indoor use and protection against splashes, not submersion.
- Żomm fejn ma jintlaħaqx mit-tfal.
3. Prodott Aktarview
The WS2814 IC RGBW LED strip integrates four colors (Red, Green, Blue, Warm White) into a single 5050 SMD LED package. Each WS2814 IC controls a group of three LEDs, allowing for addressable control and a wide range of color and white light options.

3.1 Kontenut tal-Pakkett
- 1x 16.4FT (5m) WS2814 RGBW LED Strip
- 1x 3-pin Male JST Connector
Nota: A power supply and controller are not included and must be purchased separately.
3.2 Product Variations
The BTF-LIGHTING WS2814 LED strip is available in various configurations, including different LED densities (e.g., 60LED/m, 84LED/m), color temperatures (e.g., RGB+3000K, RGB+6000K), and IP ratings (IP30, IP65, IP67, IP68). This manual specifically covers the RGB+3000K 60LED/m DC12V IP65 model.

4. Setup u Installazzjoni
4.1 Konnessjoni tal-Provvista tal-Enerġija
The LED strip requires a DC12V power supply. Ensure the power supply's wattage is sufficient for the length of the strip being used. For a 16.4FT (5m) strip, a DC12V 10A (120W) power supply is recommended.
4.2 Konnessjoni tal-Kontrollur
Connect the 3-pin JST-SM connector from the LED strip to a compatible addressable RGBW LED controller. Ensure the data input (DI) and ground (GND) pins are correctly aligned. The strip has a data direction indicated by arrows; connect the controller to the data input side.
Compatible controllers include SPI RGBW controllers such as WLED, K-1000C, Rasp Pi, ESP-8266, ESP-32, SP617E, SP530E, SP803E, and DR04W.

4.3 Immuntar tal-Istrixxa LED
- IP30 and IP65 Strips: These versions typically come with double-sided adhesive tape on the back. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly before peeling off the tape backing and pressing the strip firmly into place.
- IP67 Strips: IP67 rated strips do not have double-sided tape. Use screws and mounting clips (not included) to secure the strip.
4.4 Cutting and Extending
The LED strip can be cut every 3 LEDs at designated cut marks without damaging the remaining sections. This allows for customization of length. The strip features 3-pin JST-SM connectors on both ends, enabling easy extension by chaining multiple strips together.

5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
Once properly installed and connected to a compatible controller, the LED strip can be operated to display various lighting effects.
5.1 Color and Effect Control
The WS2814 RGBW strip supports a wide range of colors and dynamic effects. Through your chosen controller's interface (e.g., mobile app, remote control), you can:
- Select from 16 million monochrome effects.
- Choose from 142 kinds of dynamic lighting effects.
- Utilize 10 kinds of chasing pure white lighting effects.
- Access 18 kinds of music lighting effects (if supported by controller).
- Adjust brightness and speed of effects.
