My LED strip does not turn on, what should I do?

Check the connections: red wire to 12/24V, white wire to GND. Make sure the power supply is on and the switches are correctly wired. Check the polarity.

Can I use this controller with RGB LED strips?

No, the CHLSC8 is designed only for digital white LED strips using the WS2811 (SPI) protocol.

How to reset the controller to factory settings?

The manual does not mention a reset. You can restore default settings by repeating the configuration procedures (number of pixels, intensity, mode).

What is the maximum supported LED strip length?
