Setting up the pixel count:

In the app is an important step in achieving
proper functionality of the HEISE connect
chasing products.

Each chasing product has its own unique pixel
count determined by the physical properties of
the lights. By setting the pixel count in the app,

the app effectively knows how “large” the light

(or light set) is and adjust the pattern program

accordingly to fit.

Quick Setup: It is recommended to select a solid
color for initial setup. If you have any LEDs that
are not activated, increase the pixel count until
all LEDs are activated.

To set the pixel count do the following: Look at
the instruction that came with the HEISE
connect chasing product. This is typically

labeled “ “ on the CHASING products

instructions. Enter that number in the pixel
count, and press the “Save” button.

NOTE: minimum pixel count is 30.

NOTE: This will set the

An easy way to identify multiple

controllers, and which zones they’re

assigned to, is by renaming the

controller(s) in the app.

Some controllers have triggers

available. These are usually turn

signals, and a brake light trigger

activated.

The brake trigger, when connected,

will illuminate both the left and

right circuit with the signal. 3 styles

in red can be selected.

The turn signal triggers, when

connected, will flash the left/right

circuit with the left/right signal. 3

styles in amber and 1 style of red can

be selected.

Settings Page | Programmable triggers

How to set the RF lock (remote):

The RF remote is an easy way to control the lighting, however the RF control is susceptible to interference that can trigger the
lights to change. For this reason, the controller has been equipped with an RF lock function, so that the controller only accepts
commands from the paired remote. It is recommended to lock one remote to all controllers.

Lock on: Hold the bottom left button for five seconds, while in range of the controller.

Lock off: Hold the bottom right button for five seconds, while in range of the controller.
