Fitting SavvyLights

Mounting it

The driver is a serviceable part. It must be mounted where it can be reached, disconnected and removed without dismantling fixed furniture or bonded panels - for example in an electrical locker, under a seat, or behind a removable access panel. All eight circuits run back to it, so settle where it goes before you run any LED cable.

Wiring it in

1. Supply. A 12V feed into the screw terminals on the left. Get the polarity right, fuse it properly, and use cable rated for the total load you are putting through the board.
2. Circuits. Connect your LED strips onto the terminals numbered 1 to 8, using both the positive and negative wires. Write down what you connected to each one - you will want that in five minutes when you name them.

Make sure the panel is on the latest software before pairing - instructions are in the SavvyVan3 user guide.

What the light is telling you

One LED on the module tells you where you are - check it before you go near the panel.

The light	What it means
Solid green	Powered up and booting. Give it a few seconds
Flashing blue	Booted, and waiting to pair
Solid blue	Paired to your panel. Nothing more to do
Red	Something is wrong - see troubleshooting
Nothing at all	No power reaching it - see troubleshooting

Pairing it

1. On the panel, open Installer Settings, enter the passcode, and go to the device pairing screen - the one with Scan on the right.
2. Look in the right-hand list. Modules nearby appear there on their own within a few seconds. If yours has not, tap Scan.
3. Tap the green + next to LED_V1.

Naming your circuits

This is the step that makes the difference between a panel you enjoy and a panel you tolerate.

• Take out the channels you did not use. Tap a channel’s light and it turns into a red cross: that channel is out of use, and stays off the lighting page rather than sitting there empty. Tap the cross to bring it back.
• Tap a name to change it. Kitchen, Bed, Awning, Poptop - whatever you call them out loud.

Scenes are set up here too: choose how many you want with No. of Scenes (up to four), and tap each one to name it. Their light levels get set from the lighting page itself, next.

Setting scenes

1. Set each light by hand. Press and hold a light and it brightens a step at a time until you let go - starting from off if it was off, so to bring one down, tap it off and hold it back up to where you want it. A quick tap switches a light off, or back on at the level it was.
2. When the room looks right, press and hold the scene for three seconds, until it beeps.

That is the scene saved. From then on, one tap brings the whole room back.

Troubleshooting

No light is a supply problem, not a pairing one. Check the fuse and the feed before you rescan - it is the commonest reason a module never appears.

A red light means the module cannot do its job. Power it down, check the wiring against this guide, and power it back up. Still red? Tell us rather than working around it, and send the log files from the passcode screen.

Warranty

SavvyLights carries our 12-month warranty. The free second year you get for registering is for the SavvyVan3 panel itself, so there is nothing to register for this one.
