WT5 Quick Match Guide - Single Colour
Power up the Single Colour WT5 5-in-1 Wireless Receiver and wait until the indicator light next to the Match and Set button stops flashing and displays a static colour.
Refer to the mode guide printed on the WT5 to ensure the receiver is in the correct mode. For DIM (Single Colour) mode, the indicator light should display a static white.
If the indicator colour does not match your LED tape type, follow the steps below to change the mode.
1. Set to DIM Mode
Press and hold the Match and Set button. The indicator light will cycle through a series of colours: first turning off, then showing a purple-white, followed by a soft white.
As soon as it reaches the light white colour, release the button. The LEDs will flash to confirm the mode change.
Press the Match and Set button once more to set the mode. You should now see a static white light on the indicator.
If the receiver is already in the correct mode, you can skip this step.
2. Pair Your Remote or Wall Plate
Choose the zone you want to assign the receiver to.
Press the Match and Set button on the receiver, then immediately double-click the corresponding zone button on the remote or wall plate.
3. Confirm Pairing
Once paired, the WT5’s indicator light will blink three times.
To test, slide your finger along the dimming wheel or slider — you should now have full control.
4. Multiple Zones or Receivers
To pair additional receivers to different zones, repeat the matching process using a different zone button each time.
If you have multiple receivers in the same area and want them all controlled together, assign them to the same zone.
Press the Match and Set button on each receiver and double-click the same zone button on the remote or wall plate.
5. Unpair a Receiver
If a receiver is matched to the wrong zone, press and hold the Match and Set button.
Hold it until the indicator cycles through all colours, returns to white, and blinks three times — this confirms the receiver is unpaired.
To reassign, follow the pairing steps again.

You can now test control by adjusting the dim slider or wheel on your remote. You should have full access to the CCT settings.
4. Match Multiple Zones or Receivers
To assign additional receivers to different zones, repeat the matching steps using a different zone button each time.
If multiple receivers are installed in the same area and should be controlled together, match all of them to the same zone. For example:
Match receiver 1 to zone 1
Then match receiver 2 to zone 1
Continue for any additional receivers
5. Unpair a Receiver
If you need to unpair a receiver, press and hold the Match and Set button. Hold it until the light cycles through all colours, returns to white, and flashes three times — this confirms the receiver is unpaired.
To reassign it to the correct zone, repeat the pairing steps above.
